    If the Rams or Seahawks run the table would we still hold the tie-breaker over them? (If we lose to the Titans.) No head-head, so NFC record is next right?

    Moderna is only one dose instead of two, and doesn't need to be stored at extremely low temperatures. Effectiveness is about the same as Pfizer at roughly 95%. I don't see how people will have a choice, at least not initially. It's going to be a matter of what's available in your town by the time you're eligible. EDIT: Sorry for the misinformation! Both vaccines are two doses. I was thinking of the single dose J&J vaccine in phase 3 trials.

    Pharmacies got crushed recently when Amazon jumped into that space with both feet. I bought a little Walgreens for the first time in my life, figuring Amazon may not hurt them as bad as the market thought. We'll see. Tesla and Bitcoin are too volatile for my liking, but I do track them.

    Sinclair's goal is to release it's own streaming & gambling service. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-18/sinclair-is-said-to-rebrand-sports-networks-with-bally-name I understand that's their goal. Pretty much the same goal of every content provider, develop their own streaming service. Disney, Peacock, HBO, etc. But that will take time, and they're not going to want to lose the revenue from the NBA season, and likely won't be ready for start of the MLB. Last time this happened they made an agreement and kicked it down the road. I fully expect the same thing to happen now, but we'll see. Otherwise, I'll bit the bullet and go back to cable if this drags out into January. Live sports is really the only reason I even need a provider, so if I can't watch the Bucks I'm dumping YTTV.

    I agree on both points...but wouldn't you agree the QB play around the league is higher than it's ever been? That's a point we're missing. Used to be a lot more stud RBs, now it's QBs. QBs are such a huge part of today's game, it makes sense more will and should be in the HOF. I don't buy the argument that only X number each decade or whatever should get in. When I started this I expected some good debate, but this has been really interesting. Made me think, for sure. And after all these posts I still don't know what I would do with Ryan, Rivers, or Stafford. Probably wait a lot of years and see how they look then.

    They'll figure it out. You've heard of win/win? This is lose/lose/lose for Sinclair, the streaming services, and the NBA/MLB. May not happen before regular season of NBA starts, but shortly after. There really hasn't been a reason to have to get a deal done until now.
  7. FVBrewerFan
    They can definitely do another extension for 2-3 years with Rodgers. But with revenue down, the cap going down, etc. it could make it tough to negotiate. Rodgers may want to wait a year to see if the economics rebound. Should they extend him? YES. I want to free up cap space for the next 2-3 years. Whatever happens post-Rodgers is likely to be pretty bad anyhow. So I wouldn't mind falling off the cliff. Make the right moves and it only takes a couple years to rebound.

    This is why I can’t stand LeBron. He’s taken the path of least resistance to all of his titles. Do you think he goes back to Cleveland if the Cavaliers didn’t have 3 of the last 4 #1 overall picks? How about the Lakers if they didn’t have 3 consecutive #2 overall picks? He’s like the aliens in Independence Day. He consumes all of a teams resources in pursuit of a championship and then moves on. Here’s to Giannis winning one in Milwaukee as a true alpha. Meh, they're not that different. They both want to win. Nothing wrong with using your status and the system to get that done. Giannis would have moved on if he didnt believe he could win a ring here. And just like LeBron he has and will be recruiting.

    I also thought it was always a formality, and he's not turning down the $38MM. Yes, he could get more in endorsements elsewhere, but he already has a big shoe deal, and there's no way he gets close to $38MM more in shoes playing in NY. The international market is massive, and people in China or Germany really don't care if a star plays for the Bucks or Nets or Heat. I do wonder why the delay. Maybe Giannis just needed time to make a commitment. There was nothing to negotiate, or was there? I really wonder if Giannis wanted the owners to invest in any cause he felt strongly about. Maybe something as simple as wanting the workers at Fiserv to be paid more, have full benefits, etc. I could totally see him trying to get that done.

    Yea, great game. I'm a fan of both UW and MU, but really haven't watched much regular season NCAA hoops in recent years. For whatever reason, I've seen 4 MU games this year. They are beasts on the boards. Interesting though, they shot 57% from 3 and still had to hang on to win.

    If you stick with just season 1 of True Detective you'll love it. Started this last night, and I'm absolutely hooked after 1.5 episodes. Is it truly best to just stop after Season 1? Are there any redeeming qualities of 2 or 3? Every season of The Wire is outstanding. I would definitely watch that before seasons 2/3 of TD. I mean, it's still better than 100% of whatever is on network TV but definitely not in the same class as season 1.

    Not getting the ball to start the game, and the Lions having two very long TD drives makes two quarters go by very quickly... I think what this defense can potentially hang their hat on is that they do have playmakers on all 3 levels to shut drives down - however their weakness is the intermediate middle of the field, and Pettine's scheme too often seems to make those positions the focal point of the defense. Also, teams that can exploit the lack of impact talent at DE and MLB with interior misdirection runs, screens, and other RB/TE option routes often have their way when they can isolate those weak spots. Screens will kill a charmin soft zone all day. Soft zone is perfect to defend screens, since defenders are laying back and can attack when they see it. Screens will kill teams that don't hold the edge, as the Smith brothers often fail to do. Add a blitz, like they did on the one long screen, and you are really exposed.
  13. FVBrewerFan
    So who's left in pro sports? Braves and Chiefs? And yes, Cleveland River Fire is the only real choice here.
  14. FVBrewerFan
    Would love to see Pettine get Yosted here down the stretch. Risky move they'll never do, but just be that little jolt they need to get over the top.
  15. FVBrewerFan
    I don't agree with that. Getting a week off is huge just so you have time to heal up from aches and pains, and it's especially true this year since only one team gets that advantage. However, if you have that top seed wrapped up going into week 17 and you rest your star players that last game along with the bye and give them two weeks off, then I'd be worried about rust. 2011 is a great example of that. You would rather have a bye than not. But you do run the risk of being off your game, we've seen it happen plenty of times.
  16. FVBrewerFan
    Also, a bye week isn't always a positive. If they're rolling, taking a week off can upset the momentum, schedule, etc. With no fans, I really don't care too much about seeds, road games, any of that. If they play their best football, they'll beat any NFC team anywhere, except maybe the Rams.
  17. FVBrewerFan
    Other than the 78 def holding penalties they called on us, sure.
  18. FVBrewerFan
    Its not even close, come on
  19. FVBrewerFan
    These announcers make it feel like this is Central MI vs Toledo or something.
  20. FVBrewerFan
    Forget schemes and being cute. This defense demands you rush the passer hard every passing down, period.
  21. FVBrewerFan
    Battle of two HOF QBs, should be a good one.
  22. FVBrewerFan
    Yes, it's common for people to misunderstand these concepts. For example, community spread is not at all how you're describing it. Community spread refers to the source of how one contracted the virus is unknown. I'm guessing you're conflating herd immunity with community spread.

    For sure, and Warren Moon would be an MVP candidate every year if he played now.
  24. FVBrewerFan
    I don't see how Stafford gets in ahead of Eli? Eli has 2 SBs and top 10 all time passing yards. Stafford is 17th, and that will fall lower as the year go by. Yea, no doubt it's a different game now and QB numbers are inflated. Still, I don't think it was 10 years ago there was no QB talent. I wanna say probably right when Mahomes came on the scene. Before him, there was really the big 4, Wilson, Ryan and a whole bunch of really mediocre or horrible QBs around the league.
  25. FVBrewerFan
    Occurred to me watching the NFL this year, there could be at least 10 QBs playing right now who will be in the HOF. Doesn't it seem like yesterday we were all complaining how horrible the QB position was in the NFL?? Here's what I have so far: Locks: Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Big Ben Likely: Rivers- #5 all time passing yards, Ryan- #9 all time and will land higher Maybe?: Stafford- Thinking probably not, right? Trending: Mahomes, Wilson Then you have the young guns, and I can see one of those guys emerging as a HOfer. On a related note, I'm guessing Eli Manning is a lock as well?
