The Swamp

Minnesota looks like a team on a mission, largely because Ant has turned into a legit superstar. On and off the hardwood - dude says and does all the right things . Easy team to root for as a neutral (except for Gobert but...I will even overlook that doofus). Hopefully, he's learned from his earlie...

Man, I have never seen a NBA team quit like the Nuggets did last night. No adjustments until the second half, sloppy and stupid play. I don't think the series is making it a back to Denver. Minnesota looks like a team on a mission, largely because Ant has turned into a legit superstar. On and off t...

I want a list of players by WAR in the 365 days following elbow surgery Me big braining at my fantasy draft: Well, Harper was pretty good last year coming off the elbow issue but he sure wasn't his usual power self either. Probably best to let someone else assume the risk with Ohtani... Me now: Wha...

And now with Crystal Palace beating Man U (keep going, lads!), Chelsea might just earn some European football next season. Wild to think that after the topsy turvy season they've had, but it's there for the taking with 3 games to play. So its Man City v ManUnited in the FA Cup final, right? And if ...

Ohtani.

Still good. Like, REALLY REALLY good.

Had a trip to DC last weekend (no time folks, all family shizz, sorry, maybe next time!) and ended up in the Portrait Gallery. All the presidents have a potrait, and in true museum fashio, it says the artist, date and medium. "Gilbert Stuart, 1795, Oil on canvas" etc. They were mostly can...

Those same people wondering when Atlanta is giving up 290 yards a game on the ground - "what could have been done to have addressed this?"

Thoughts to you, L-jam, and your family.

On top of that, that division is doughy soft. You take the money you put into Cousin's contract that ate away at available salary cap and instead, I dunno, got get Danielle Hunter and Christian Wilkins, say, to help that wasteland that is their d-line and given the plentiful investments already in p...

What this boils down to is people are finding reasons why this was a bad decision. If that works for you, then rock on. Except it won’t be a bad decision if Penix is the longterm answer in Atlanta. The numbers guys will tell you six ways to Sunday why it’s never a good idea to bunt. If Penix is the...

Seriously man, you’re in the territory for worst fucking NFL take in the history of this board. Take the L and go home, you’re embarrassing yourself. An 8th pick QB doesn’t fucking need 2-3 years to acclimate to the NFL behind a guy making 160 million. Apologies if you were violently struck in the ...

Also, this may have happened - I keep waiting for a stat adjustment down but haven’t seen one yet…

Also, it’s actually 18 stolen bases.

This has been a sustained awesome thing for weeks and weeks now…

But THEY KNEW THAT WHEN THEY DID THE CONTRACT!!!!

I mean, I'm on record up there. :D I think it's almost like it didn't really need to be said because SO MANY folks were saying it. You definitely are on point. I just can’t stress enough how bizarre this was. Laird right to note the Cousins piece. Any spend on cousins came at a time in March when f...

I have been out of town and mostly off-line for the duration of this but...I can't believe how little reaction there really was in here to how over-the-top insane the Falcons move was. Like, that might be genuinely the craziest/dumbest pick in the NFL draft. Ever. Not hyperbole. It's so bad. All of ...

Denver having a normal one today...

That is pure terror. Similar thing happened to my beast. One day in the park, she ran ahead and into her favourite part of the creek which I then saw was high and flowing much faster than usual. Watching her struggle to get back to the bank as she was being pulled away is something that I'll never ...

Put this on Facebook but for those who are sane and don’t check that hellsite - weird (and eventually good) update - had a crazy close call with mortality for me and River (the younger of my two labs) at our spot in the gunpowder river yesterday…took him and Ellie (my older yellow lab) to the usual ...

Um, former Bengals legend QB Donald Hollas?

Let's pick a WAY BACK thread for this version of the Swamp for this...

tennbengal

Didn't we have an 80s v 90s thread at some point? Or I am hallucinating that?

Not sure if this is pro or con. Both.

Go to Lake Michigan, eastern shores, and get best of all of it.

Yup. Blocking everything.

Is Blake Corum the 2020s version of Rudi Johnson? Not throwing shade there.

It is still a weird delay, but glad it is happening. Now do Kjerstad. And Mayo.

Given the hype around Pulisic back in his Dortmund days, just pausing to note that...he's really panned out. Like, maybe the first true American star of this hype who really lived up to the hype. He's having a really good career in Europe.

tennbengal

I enjoy watching Edey play - total throwback. Hope he lands somewhere in the NBA where he can settle in at 20 minutes a game off the bench and have a long long career.

That series of moments that happens to me over and over in the course of a year where I realize my wilful blindness to current music and what not means I miss bangers. Like, Dua Lipa's Levitating. Rectified.

Guess it depends into what.
