Preferably around the central part of eastern Missouri. -
It's not what people do, it's how they do it. It transcends multiple forums here where it's one thing to say something like, "I'm really surprised that they _________ as (my personal observations were __________). Don't agree with that move." versus making definitive statements insisting that you are correct, others are wrong, and using five exclamation points.
-
Fox River Brewing Co? No. It's an older establishment, been around for a long time. But geographically you're getting closer.

The previous 3rd string QB (Hill) was running the scout team as a true freshman last year, so his responsibility was to learn the other team's plays each week, not their own playbook. This is his first season where his job is to learn their own playbook, so it is unlikely that he has a good grasp of a fairly complex pro-style offense (that requires the QB and WRs to read the defense, unlike other offenses where they hold up pictures that tell the receivers what route to run). I would not expect that person to be ready to challenge for a starting job by the end of fall camp. Since they brought in two QBs this year, the scholarship QB (Burkett) will be learning the plays and the walk-on QB (Howe) will be running the scout team. Burkett and Hill are on fairly even ground as far as learning the playbook.

Cedric (a.k.a. Caleb) Jones to the practice squad.
-
Heflin and Slayton to the PS, so there's your DL depth. Goodson and Taylor to the PS, so it's likely they will elevate one of them to the main roster each of the first four weeks until they know if Hill will be ready. Kiondre Thomas and Rico Gafford to the PS for CB depth. Signed veteran S Rudy Ford, a special teams gunner/vice specialist, who was cut by Jags and waived Abernathy. Likely try to get Abernathy back on the PS.
-
Some of those Vikings cuts could be worth a look for the practice squad. Janarius Robinson was injured all of last year and AFAIK has never really had an opportunity; maybe he was waived-injured. Surratt I think is worth a tryout for the PS. Blake Lynch is a guy I wanted the Packers to sign as a UDFA; thought he could be a big nickel/hybrid LB. Nick Muse might be worth a look at TE; I thought he had good measurables at their pro day.
-
Caleb Jones goes unclaimed. Only Packer claimed is Ty Summers by the Jags. (Insert joke about a JAG for the Jags.)
-
The 53 they kept. So far. Jaquiski Tartt was released; my understanding is that he is vested so he can sign with any team he wants and isn't subject to waivers.
-
And he hasn't had one damn at bat against the Cardinals this year. Not one. Down in the minors every time they played the Cards so far.
-
Maybe it was a message to Mark A. about taking on more payroll.
-
This right here. The melting snow makes everything a mess. I'd put February as slightly worse than March because Feb seems to be when we get the -20 temps or the 10" snowfalls, but it's Feb/Mar as the worst months of the year by a long shot. Then Jan, then April.
-
Lots of players look good against 3rd/4th string guys in the second half of pre-season games. They may look different against starters/backups in practice.
-
Neither Tom nor Jenkins got any snaps at center in training camp or in the preseason games, and no NFL team is going into the regular season with their backup center getting no practice snaps in training camp or preseason games. And speaking of the OL (not directed at you, UpandIn), as Peavey alluded to above, Caleb Jones was waived.
-
I was honestly thinking the latter
-
Amazing what happens when you allow games to go nine innings
-
One of them will probably be getting a timeout for a while.
-
I know that the Brewers are 8-4 against the Reds. I don't call that "poorly". I also know that I enjoy watching Brewers baseball, and my emotions don't rest on the Brewers winning every game 7-0.
-
Are you aware that these same Pirates swept the Dodgers in a series earlier this year in LA?
-
How long would an at-bat with Devin Williams facing Mike Hargrove last?
-
Was that inning fun?
-
Seems like his cutter hasn't been moving horizontally like it used to.
-
Not Jerry's Bar in Oshkosh, but it is in the Fox Valley.

I don't necessarily subscribe to the "most managers would make the same decisions". Being able to read your players and know when they're available, when they're tired, when they need a day off is critical to the course of an entire season. Maybe Counsell occasionally sticks with his starters too long, but the converse of that is the 2019 Cubs when Joe Maddon kept going to the bullpen early and ran his bullpen into the ground by August, causing them to finish 15-20 after 8/23 (the last day they were in first place), and 21-26 after 8/9. Totally agree on LaRussa. With the talent on that team if they had anything other than one of the biggest boobs in the recent history of the game as manager they would be walking away with the division. No manager makes perfect decisions. Debate the moves by Counsell and the front office, but I think the injuries to Woodruff, Peralta, Houser, and Ashby had a bigger effect on the season than those decisions.

Posted this in another thread, but over his last four seasons he has a 2.95 ERA across 174 innings with 8.3 K/9, 3.5 K/BB, and 1.16 WHIP.
