There is a rumor out there that the NFL and the top execs of the power conferences are looking at creating a super league. It would be similar to European soccer where teams can get demoted. This would basically be the end of D1 college football.
The top 60 teams would be playoff eligible for a 16 team playoff. If you finish below the top 60 you are demoted. This is about as far as they have gotten and it is just in preliminary talks right now. The players would become employees and not student athletes.
Ford and Toyota will be shipping less EV’s to dealerships well because the EV buyers don’t go to dealerships. Expect to see less supply of Ford and Toyota EV’s at the dealerships. Ford has sold more EV’s on their website versus what has been sold at the dealerships.
Ford actually ran out of stock on their website and the customers still didn’t buy from their local dealerships. Ford is currently looking to reduce their EV offerings to dealerships and will sell the majority of their EV’s on a direct to consumer model similar to Tesla.
GM will also discontinue manufacturing the Chevy Bolt. The lower cost EV’s are dying fast as buyers for the lower end EV’s are just not buying them. For every Bolt that GM sells they lose about $9000 which makes sense as the Bolt is super basic and lacking features that are at that price range for other ICE vehicles.
By swinging at pitches way outside the strike zone? I will have to remember to quote this when everyone is whining about Adames swinging at a pitch out of the zone.
I think Wilken is a lock because of the injury. I believe the Brewers will want him to get more at bats. The at bats being what they want him to get and results won’t matter. He missed a good amount of time this year. So the at bats mean more than the results.
I didn’t see a thread yet for this but then again I didn’t look all that hard.
I am not sure on the pitchers who will make it but I think Wilken and Pratt are locks on the positional side.
Beyond Pratt and Wilken I am not all that confident in predicting anyone else. This feels like a weird year as it was rather easy the last few years to list out 10+ who I thought would be locks for a spot.
Adames is having a good season and will get paid this off season. There were some posters who thought the Brewers wouldn’t offer Adames the QO and it would be too risky to do so.
Usually it is best to swing at the first pitch against a pitcher that is struggling. That first pitch is more than likely is going to be a get me over pitch that will be in the heart of the plate. Better to be aggressive there than sit back and make the pitcher throw a strike.
Yeah no that is a dumb statement. Purdue, Iowa, Rutgers, Northwestern and Minnesota are all very winnable games. That is five games that are easily winnable games. Predicting only two wins from those five is just troll level of an opinion.
Defense has been fine it has been the offense that has been extremely bad. They need better defensive linemen as they are asking their linebackers to do way too much. As the game goes on the linebackers start to make mental mistakes as they are getting tired. Just way too much being asked of the linebackers.
Locke is not a starting level QB. He has no clock and just sits in the pocket. He can’t even complete wide open passes to a receiver that had no one around them within 5 yards plus.
Wouldn’t have mattered if it was from the shotgun or from the I that play was going nowhere. The offensive line decided to just ignore two players and gave them the gap.
