Re: Presidential Election 2024
The only reason to stay in was if someone was going to end up getting DQ'd and since things are moving so slowly, it feels like they're going backward, it's probably a good time to cut losses.

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
It really helps bring out the parallels of the two franchises when you equate Luckman to Otto Graham. I mean, my personal rankings for the top three in their franchise history has been Luckman-McMahon-Cutler since the day they acquired Cutler.

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
yup. the difference between an uncompetitive 8-9 vs. 5-11 or whatever is minimal with a quarterback on a contract like that. May as well take advantage of the cheaper rookie contracts. Denver has no 5th-rounder, but an extra 6th in 2025 draft, and zero reason to try to be competitive right now. Had...

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
Yes. It was a fastball from Mike Torrez of the Mets that nailed a frozen Dickie Thon of the Astros in the face at the Astrodome in a night game on April 8, 1984. -- Dickie Thon looked dead as he lay on the ground after the pitch. I can’t recall how much time then passed before we got the word that ...

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
The Ripken-Young-Trammell troika was the first core of power hitting shortstops, but I think Ernie Banks was probably the first true middle-order power threat. He played the first half of his career at SS, and put up 512 career bombs. Not too shabby. Dickie Thon, before being hit in the head by a p...

Players like Wembanyama and Jokic are kind of an end result (not an actual end, obviously) of how the European style of skill development without regard for size helps them become dominant forces. The focus on "little man" skills transforms bigger players into unicorns.
