    I will. He and his teammates are finishing up an incredible regular season. Getting through injuries, COVID protocols, the whole grind to be in this position. They have WS potential, despite the tepid September performance. He has to know he's a huge reason for that. And to do something that absolutely ******* moronic because he can't hold his liquor? It almost defies belief. I get all that and think your position is a fair one to have of an adult. But if you're getting so drunk that you throw your most prized possession into a wall...probably a bigger issue going on.

    What a buffoon. He deserves to be booed if we get the chance.

    Pretty much everyone I know is very meh on going to the NLDS but at least say they absolutely intend on going to WS game. Also, about 1/3 of available tickets disappear immediately for WS to sponsors, media, other teams, etc. I think you'd have a hard time getting in the ballpark for a WS game for less than 500 on the secondary market. I think that's a bit low unless it's like Game 4 and it's 0-3. I'm thinking terrace is $700s, with a few deals to be had if you're on StubHub at just the right time.

    This post screams "I really don't like Lauer" He's good. But if I had to throw one of them against a top team in a do or die game, I'd feel obligated to go with the higher ceiling guy, whom I think is Peralta. Although right now, I concede that Lauer does feel less likely to have an implosion game.
  5. OldSchoolSnapper
    ^Yeah, that's exactly where I am. Ideally they take out LA. Even if they took out both we'd get the NLCS at home if we're there. It's either the Cardinals or a 100+ win team so does it really matter?
  6. OldSchoolSnapper
    I don't think it's all that far fetched they beat LA once. It's baseball. You could throw the Orioles out there and beat them by 10.

    If Mason Crosby missed that FG, I don't think anyone would be saying they passed the litmus test without a doubt. I think most of the league is still in a formative phase. I think we mostly know what the Packers are going to be, sure. But I'm not sure how good SF is or any of the other contending teams.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    Thing is the Packers schedule is brutal enough (Minn's is similar, though not quite as tough), that it's feasible it comes down to the last week or something and both have 5 or 6 losses. It might be more important than we think to beat them the first time.

    I get that this is going to happen in some form or another, but what an insult to the fans in Tampa to debut this during the playoffs, and slap the logo where everyone can see it at the games. Also...what problem does this solve exactly? If there's one stadium that's worse than the Trop it's Stade Olympique. Who would fund a stadium for a part-time baseball team? I get that there are a LOT of baseball fans in Canada so it makes sense to get another team there, but just make them the Expos, build a cheaper outdoor stadium in Montreal, and play some games in Florida in April/September. Don't try this "two cities" BS that alienates both fan bases. Everyone in Montreal cheers for the Blue Jays now, I doubt a half-team is going to change their allegiance, especially since the Rays are their RIVAL right now. I don't have a lot of sympathy for Tampa fans that continue to barely support one of the best franchises in sports. I get why they want to do the logo now. It's a smart way to drum up some exposure for this for a team that essentially gets none.

    They forced a punt and scored a TD to go up 17-0. So I don't think it did change the game negatively. I don't know if they lost any momentum because I don't know how to quantify such a thing. But if we define momentum as this magic pendulum representative of the game or something, the win probability following an event is basically the same thing. It's really semantics at that point, I don't know if I'm making sense. The win probability calculates your likelihood of winning if you go for it up 10 inside the 5 and fail. There are too many sides to look at it from to know. I can easily say if it's 13-0 and the 49ers start at the 30 and not the 5, they're more aggressive with the playcalling. But let's say they are and they score, there may be less incentive to go for it on 4th down at the end of the half and score. Maybe they take the 3 then instead. There are just a billion variables here.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    I think it all depends on how things are going and how the other series is going and when the next start would be. If the Brewers have a 2-0 lead and it looks like they may be on the West Coast in a couple of days, I'd throw Peralta in Game 3 so I have Lauer on the West Coast early in the NLCS.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    I think they'll win the division but with some push from Minnesota. That team could easily be 3-0. I think those will be 2 good games. The Lions really aren't awful but aren't built to win now. The Bears stink and Nagy is going to be fired.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    Well this was originally scheduled for last year like most of the bobbles, thus why the dates are funky on most of the boxes. I don't know the ins and outs of this at all, but there could be a bunch of factors outside their control as far as what the WWE actually paid for, licensing rights, etc. I think it's more likely the Brewers have plenty of imagination but are limited by other things.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    I like Lauer, he's had a phenomenal season, but he screams "get cute with matchups in the playoffs and be down 6-0 in the first inning."
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    Oh, so only the people that like the go for it on 4th down move can act like the following 49er drive would have automatically led to points had they started at the 25 instead of the 5, and just assume they get as much or more yardage? I thought it doesn't work that way... My God. I've never seen anyone miss the thesis of something over and over again like this. It's amazing. I'll try one more time: Nobody knows what would have happened. Including you. The point is that you can't make the assumption that all things in the game AFTER the field goal remain the same. I've been consistent on the point that I don't know how things play out. But the other side of this keeps rehashing that it "would have made the end of the game less stressful," which isn't a fact. It's just a guess. The whole equation is a guess, and the point is that the percentages, overall, favor going for the first down/TD. MLF doesn't make that call on the fly; he's (or an asst) likely has some kind of chart or simulator telling him the %, and he can obviously overrule that if the situation calls for it. It's fair if you want to dig your heels on the FG just for the sake of it, but this much is really the only fact: The percentage play is going for it.

    I don't know how the theme nights work but I'm going to guess the less promoted ones get less sponsorship. Assuming Disney or someone ponies up for Star Wars nights with MLB and maybe WWE just buys the giveaway and nothing else?
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    I expect it to be a pricey ticket but AmFam is a lot more seats than Fiserv. Demand for baseball in MKE is arguably higher, but I don't know if that really matters at this level. Bucks Mania seems hard to top.

    https://imgur.com/a/xLhWQ8I These are SSH prices so the pubic offer will be higher, but not exponentially so. I would count on availability being near zero if not zero. SSH are only allowed to buy 1 game to the WS if they did not purchase the strip.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    Eh, just wait. Look at this way. If you buy tickets to a loss you will be disappointed. If they win you'll likely wish you hadn't gone already.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    Forgot about Carolina. That's exactly the type of team that always seems to give us fits.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah I don't want to rain on the parade but I don't really think SF is the contender some seem to think. It's a great road win either way but I'd guess they don't make the playoffs this year and that in the end it's Tampa, Arizona and LA that are threats to the Packers. It's rare to go through the rash of injuries SF has had and come out on the other side, especially without a top QB, which Jimmy is not.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    Looking at the box score the defense basically did most of what you could ask. They made SF one-dimensional via the pass which is exactly what you want. Played the run really well and forced 2 TOs passing the ball. You'll win most games doing that with Rodgers. Garopollo's line isn't even good and was probably a lot worse before the last drive. ST did them no favors at the end of the half and even then they arguably forced a grounding penalty that would have preserved a shutout with the 10 second run off. Really their lone black mark is the "stand" at the very end, which likely never takes place if that PI isn't called.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    I thought it was the right call. Didn’t like the outcome obviously, but when it looked like it may have popped loose, it went right back toward the receiver’s chest. The call could have gone either way. I suspect if they had called in incomplete and SF challenged that would stand too. I also thought it was the right call, but as I said in-game, the challenge was dumb. That's a play you challenge on 3rd down, perhaps even 2nd down as you force them into a passing situation on 3rd and 10. But challenging a 12- or 13-yard pass on 1st down is not something I'd ever waste a challenge on at that point in the game. Unless it's totally situational, like puts them in FG range with 2:05 left or something.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Cincy is pretty good. Pitt looks about what everyone expected prior to week 1 win. I'd be happy to get out of the 2nd group of 5 games with 2 losses.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    I didn't realize the new punter was also holding for the kicks, which isn't surprising I guess since I dunno who else would, but glad that appears to have worked out.
