The Swamp

I love how the new overtime rules cause so much debate. Very much overdue. Some questions to discuss. 1. If you win the coin toss, do you kick or receive? The consensus seems to be to kick, you want to know what you have to do. Although, I would still receive because I believe in scoreboard pressure...

Now I wish the niners got a TD and celebrated like they won.

degenerasian

True, I did not take the 2 point convert into account.

degenerasian

I would take the ball first. If you feel both defenses are gassed and touchdowns are easy, you want the ball 3rd. You look at the two games that caused the rule change. In the Super Bowl when the Patriots scored with a TD, would Atlanta have equalized? And if so, Patriots get the ball 3rd. Same with...

And timeouts.

Like this?

I am kind of surprised seeing you guys hate on "the code". The unwritten code is one of the things that makes hockey hockey. Running a star player will have consequences, don't touch the goalie, no punching while someone is down, etc etc. Hockey refereeing and rulebook is not capable of c...

mister d wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2024 12:11 am Did you just compare a hit to prevent a goal to a hit in retaliation for a goal?

They are actually similar. Why is Laine making an effort (like speeding up) to shoot at an empty net with 3 seconds left? And why does Andersson care enough to violently go after Laine's knees to prevent it?

It’s getting late so I can’t keep the Jose Bautista playoff game in my back pocket … is it bad Beltre didn’t light him up at 3B? They threw at him and punched him in the face the following season. Would that be better solution here? They stalk the guy next game? I say 2 games. The hotdogging will b...

. There's even a victory formation in the NFL, not running more plays or taunting or taking a slap shot into an empty net. And, when the Saints ran a play to score an unsportsmanlike touchdown from victory formation, the only Falcon who lost his shit was the coach, not the players. Players had chec...

Then why is there a penalty? To prevent fights.

degenerasian

Agreed. And the Leafs coach said a cross check to the face is “appropriate” response to breaking a stupid unwritten rule. Hockey has a culture problem. You can't blast the puck into an empty net, that's taunting. Imagine if Ducks-era Corey Perry did that to Sharks. Should the Sharks just accept it?...

These are hockey players, they know this. Must be more history for Grieg to shoot the puck like that. I don't watch enough of the Ontario rivals. Just imagine your most hated player doing that to your team. If Grieg wasn't expecting some kind of reaction for that, he's an idiot Both things can be tr...

What about baseball crowd chatter?

I mean... South Africa 2010 anyone? Horrible memories of that. But those horns were cheap and being sold outside the stadiums (as I recall).

Son is incredible. Is he ever tired? Two extra time games 72 hours apart.

Another half-pregnant NHL thing. We want to spread the game globally but no developing teams in our tournament! There's a time and place for both, right? Wasn't the greatest thing in hockey history a 6-team tournament? There really were only 6 countries back then that could roster a team and the wo...

So Calgary traded Monahan and a 1st to Montreal just so they could take him.

Today, Montreal trades Monahan to Winnipeg FOR a 1st round pick.

Fucking Treliving.

unoffendable is a perfectly fine word

Well the Flames are garbage, they don't know what's going on most of the time. This was a massive PR blunder. There were no legal grounds to cite mental health in the initial release. It's a horrible look, and the organization is now being subject to criticism and ridicule that it deserves. I was g...

Oh, I'm all in on the Romo hate. He was helped by following Phil Simms. Aikman has the same problem that Simms had in that they haven't played in 30 years so their understanding of the game isn't what Romo's was when he first started (Simms is also a buffoon where I think Aikman is more of a cranky...

How do you guys rank Aikman? I think he's been good this year and he's good with Buck obviously. And he's not afraid to be negative and rip guys, like how he ripped Zach Wilson.
