Umpires are going to need a new sponsor... Of course, turns our they were the perfect sponsor for Angel Hernandez.
-
Or they could have stayed put and followed my advice and drafted this guy. (For the record, I didn't think that Stokes would still be around in the first.)

Literally all of it: https://twitter.com/jessetemple/status/1591192539348230145?s=20&t=eKqMQWoEPNvXUdnhD1fzjw (Would someone care to show a non-Twitter user how to link a Tweet in a reply?) -
Chris Carter's career K rate: 33.3% Rowdy Tellez's career K rate: 22.4% (and 20.2% last year, 18.4% in 2021). Not sure what your definition of "mainstay" is, but Tellez is "good enough" at his current salary (that may change with arbitration). If Abreu costs $20M/year and Tellez comes in at his rough arbitration estimate of $5M... Abreu isn't worth $15M more. And Tellez isn't like Chris Carter at all.

Same with the non-call on running into the kicker two plays later.
-
I'd rather the Brewers spend that money on extending Woodruff/Burnes. The money that Abreu/Bell will cost is not worth the upgrade over what Tellez will cost, but that depends on what Tellez gets in arbitration.

Chuckie Carr and Brent Moss, gone on the same day, neither lived to be 60. Sad day.

Iowa's defense has been doing this all year. #1 in the nation in yards/play, #3 in total defense. Purdue scored three points last week at home. The only question has been if their offense (or defense or special teams) has been able to score. Not ideal for a first-year OC and a #1 RB who avoids contact because of a bad shoulder.
-
Allen clearly is avoiding hard contact. Compensating for the shoulder injury. Wedig has been just terrible. Not sure why Furtney isn't in there.
-
OL again is doing them no favors. Wedig has been a turnstile at RG and then the clipping penalty on Nelson killed that drive and put Mertz in a position to feel like he had to make a big play.

I don't care what anyone says, Petros Papadakis is THE most annoying announcer on television.

What kind of backup plan can you have when you're up against the cap because you are trying to keep HoF/All-Pro/Pro-Bowl caliber players and have to rely on rookies/2nd year/UDFAs for backups? The NFL is rigged this way to prevent the same teams from being good every year. The draft, the salary cap, the scheduling... it's all designed to rotate the teams at the top. Yeah, things might be different if they had drafted McLaurin instead of Sternberger and Higgins/Pittman instead of Love. But lots of other teams are saying the same thing about passing on those guys; the Packers weren't the only ones. I also think that Gute didn't expect that run on WRs in the first round of the draft this year. Nobody drafts perfect, but you can't have a backup plan when you have no cap room for veterans to fill holes.
-
Gute was thinking that he is very salary cap strapped because of 12 and Bakh, and that Adams was going to return because they offered him more than the Raiders.
-
Sources who have spoken with players in the program have said that there was smoke, but no fire. Allen was upset with the firing of Chryst at the time and started poking around a little, but Allen is still booking NIL appearances in the state and is on track to make around $750K in NIL this year.

They're going to need a bunch of rookies to make the roster next year. They have needs everywhere. Technically Amos isn't signed beyond this year - they just added a couple of void years on to his contract. If they can't come to an agreement on an extension they'll need to spend a high-ish pick spent there. Might need to spend one there anyway; they exercised Savage's 5th year but he isn't signed beyond next year and his best fit moving forward might be nickel as he's had struggles at safety. They certainly need backups so perhaps a late round pick too. By sheer number of bodies w/Gary injured and the cap situation likely preventing a significant FA signing, they'll need at least one if not two picks at OLB, with one being high-ish. Cobb, Lazard, and Watkins are FA's so they'll need a couple of bodies at WR. Mercedes and Tonyan are FA's and Davis a RFA, so they'll need a couple of bodies there. Reed and Lowry are free agents with void years. They'll need to spend at least one pick there. Who knows with OL. Tom, Walker, and Jones look like they could play the part but will need to make that big year two jump. Those three and Rhyan will need to play roles next year. Depth next year is going to be a lot of rookies/year-2 guys.

Speedy switch-hitting 17 y/o CF in the DOSL this year. Led the team in SB, but also 2nd in K's.
-
Good point - the second half of last season he had a .862 OPS and wRC+ of 141. And I think the sitting him vs LHP is a bit overblown as he had a 111 wRC+ against LHP in 2021.

It's 2022. If you don't think that the University of Wisconsin has policies and procedures that need to be followed to ensure that under-represented minorities have the opportunity to apply for positions... Leonhard is their guy. I can assure you of that. But the athletic department needs to operate within the frameworks of the university. And the WR decommitting has little to nothing to do with the head coaching situation (they just got a commit for the class of 2024 and will be getting another commit for 2023 today or tomorrow) and everything to do with being offered by Oregon and Texa$ A&M.

One of the prominent local pet adoption/animal welfare organizations has their annual fundraiser gala this Friday. I thought that might be a fun, worthwhile use of my time and money for a good cause. I was thinking that it would cost around $250 for a ticket/entry. When I went to their website, I was a bit surprised to see that basic entry tickets were... ... $1,000. Yeah, I don't think they need my money.

Apparently my company filed notice with the state of CA on Friday of a small number of layoffs (<100) in CA effective Jan 6th. CA has a law that requires employers to give 60-days notice to the state of any layoffs. From what I can tell, it's less than 10% of our CA employees (as our US HQ is in CA). I know this borders on political, but I am sick of the Fed raising interest rates with the deliberate outcome of increasing unemployment. I don't know anyone who is spending excessively and deliberately trying to spend more than they have to. I have a mortgage so my housing payment isn't going to change (save for small changes in taxes/insurance). My vehicle is paid off and I have no plans on changing that unless absolutely necessary. What I don't see people talking about is competition. Mergers and acquisitions have left most industries with at most 3-4 big companies that account for >75% of sales. If you want bran flakes with raisins for breakfast, your choices are Kellogg's, Post, and whatever the store brand is. If Kellogg's raises their prices, you can bet that Post and the store brand will raise theirs as well. If you switch to oatmeal, you have Quaker, the generic store brand, the premium/organic store brand, and maybe one or two smaller organic/premium companies. There's not a lot of choice, and they're all subject to grain prices. The Fed can only control interest rates, but the government needs to focus on increasing supply and competition. Demand isn't the issue.

Both offered a 2nd round pick for Claypool. But they took the Bears pick because they believed it would be significantly higher. So what does that mean? THE BEARS STILL SUCK!!
-
You are both correct. UW played at Hawaii on Nov 30th, 1996, and on Nov 25, 2000.

I'm hearing from a number of places that people are applying with no interest (so they can keep collecting unemployment), don't show up for the interview, etc. Have to go through dozens of applicants to find someone legitimately interested. My guess is it's to weed those out who aren't really interested.
