The long game for the Packers is to lose next week so the Bears keep their current management and coaching staff, then overpay Trubisky on a very long contract.

Kinda did it in the same game, too.

I may try to watch some Sweden games, as five members of the Red Wings' organization are on their team, including Lucas Raymond (first rounder this year) and Theodor Niederbach (second rounder, this year), who may be on the same line.

Shit, but no shingles?

Hope our Canadian friends have a solid Friday.

I think you can even mention them if they appear on your local ion Television affiliate.

I wonder if the NFL is going to suspend Dwayne Haskins for his unmasked good time at the strip club. The team fined him $40k. (Perhaps to convince the league that no further discipline is necessary?) If both Haskins and Alex Smith are unavailable to start at QB this weekend ... I believe I saw the ...

Bad news for you, Johnnie, but I'm sure you already knew.

51 of 184 NBA coaches are .500 or above in the playoffs and 13 have won 60% of their playoff games. Harden is at 64.6%, which only six coaches have surpassed.

Harden had a 32- and 33-year-old Chris Paul, who missed 24 games each of those seasons, as his best teammate ever.

DSafetyGuy

Newsflash: 29 of 30 teams come up short at the end. Harden's certainly had more playoff success than anyone else playing a key role on the Sixers, sans Danny Green. Harden is 51-28 in the postseason the last four years, having made the postseason each those seasons. Giannis: 20-18 Lebron: 39-20 (mi...

No big deal. He's a good guy and said he swung by to pop open a few threads last night.

We get to be real-time witnesses to D-Safe’s descent into madness! But, tbh, the Bears looked like they had a real nfl offense yesterday. (Before adjusting for Viking defense.) I wanted to use defensive DVOA to illustrate the weakness of the defenses they have faced, but they were unavailable to me...

I feel bad enough calling people hysterical. This dude is a troll using a slur that should never be tolerated on here.

Exactly. If it was someone brand new, the offense would get a warning to never do it again because we don't do that.

This is not even close to that.

If the Saints lose today, the Bears will win at Jacksonville next week while Green Bay disposes of Tennessee. This will enable them to then win at home against a Green Bay team who has nothing to play for, meaning they would close on a four-game win streak to squeak into the playoffs (and lose on t...

Onside kicks dont work anymore. Something like 2 out of 50 this year.

The rate has been super-low in obvious onside kick situations for years. Only the "surprise" ones work something like 35% of the time.

He's okay. Hanging in there through the pandemic like a great many of us.

Still doing bapo-ish activities, such as watching entire 1970's NFL seasons and reading a ton.

Yeah, you probably want get in front of someone saying "horn up".

1988's "Action Jackson" might be the most 1980's action movie... while not actually having an overabundance of action scenes. Produced by Joel Silver (Commando, Predator, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Roadhouse...), it was a shot at letting Carl Weathers carry a movie. Here are six of the first...

These are tremendous promos because if you don't build up your opponent, you end up fighting a nobody and no one cares who wins.

I get it. And like I said, he's right. But I can't imagine yelling at my employees like that (even if they are technically just contractors).

Considering you texted me (and duff) yesterday and the first words you wrote were "Motherfucker", I will attest to your hotheadedness.

I wonder if there will be a push to get rid of the word "Chief" in the military for some of our ranks. I would think not since "Chief" is more a word to give leadership roles and responsibilities to with respect and admiration than appropriate Native culture. But we'll see. Prob...

He tried to slow-play his kings before the flop, then probably felt he was behind you when you bet after the flop, putting you on something like A-9 suited (you probably would have bet more after the flop with top pair plus something else, like a straight draw).

I just think it's funny that the Big Ten, which was certainly leaning toward not playing at all due to the medical research on the pandemic, changed course and is now not just trying to feed at the trough, but to cram as much down their gullet as possible.

Based on his usage of ranas and the Parasdise Lock, I suspect sancarlos spent some time in Japan, playing his trade. It was probably the 1930's.

It also seems Pruitt has learned why you kick below the belt.
