Re: The Great Goals thread
What was the defender trying to do? Couldnt have been trying to score that. Keeper wasnt really out of goal and wasnt anyone close other than the goalie.

Indeed. First thing that jumped to my mind.

The other had fights and similarly not quite primetime events. Loved...

Re: More Backroom Deals Than Tammany Hall - A Youth Soccer Tale
Top 4 teams in the age group had joint practices. Seems like evaluation time for next year. Nope. Midyear cuts. Ewwww. Rough at this age. Did get an opportunity to show against the MLS kids though. Mixed bag. Involved in both goals. Gave up way way too many. Added a couple bigger kids to his team t...

Re: Thwednesday Thought Exercise - College Hoops
No one gives a damn about northwestern. At the school or in chicago. Way way more interest in pro sports anyway but even colleges then northwestern about #5 or lower. Illini have a following. Just gets drowned out in all chicago. Btw when we have a swampup should be chicago.

Hope not. Id rather they go triple option with the type of talent they have. Definitely 2TE. If they can get Andrews back the OL could be a strength without Thuney. They need a MLB.

Re: 2021 NFL Black Sunday Night, Etc.
Totally depends on who you sign for what money under what terms. What other teams do has no bearing. Pats have way more talent than they did yesterday. Maybe they'll be hamstrung later by these contracts if too many guys miss. We'll see how good a contracts guy matt patricia is.

Combination of the cap reduction and Brady money clearing created opportunities not normally available in those numbers.

Re: 2021 NFL Black Sunday Night, Etc.
I like it. Hopefully they lock up a couple talents and lots of depth pieces to multi yr deals before the draft. Guess they figure they don't need thuney but they could have the best ol in football. Hides a lot of qb problems.

Legit point though.
