    Yeah, I'm not super high on them either. Like I said, I think that division has a good chance of being really overrated next season. And I think the East is the sleeper at least as far as exceeding expectations. Rivera seems to really have something in WAS finally, you can't deny the talent in Dallas, and the Giants are ascending.

    I feel somewhat strongly that AZ won't be the worst team in the West. I think Seattle may very well be that even with Wilson. For a guy making demands, he was pretty terrible the 2nd half of the season and that whole team is giving me 2018 Packers vibes. They're hanging on by a thread but feel inches away from being pretty bad. I'm not a real believer in SF curing all their ills with getting healthy. It just never seems to shake out that way.
  3. OldSchoolSnapper
    I don't think anyone thought he'd get that much money. If that was the deal being tossed around, not a single Packers fan would have thought he's coming here.

    The more I think about it, that division might be a good contender for being overrated going into 2021. The Rams have cap trouble but a lot of hype with a QB who's kinda been treated with kid gloves, but hasn't actually done a lot of winning. SF is dependent on an awful lot of injury rehab. Seattle is a giant mess. It's not that far fetched that AZ is the favorite with Murray continuing to develop.

    Playing the semifinals and final on the same day is up there with the dumbest things the WIAA ever did. Watching kids gassed in the finals is brutal. It’s the biggest games of their lives and your asking kids to play 70+ minutes of high intensity basketball in a day. They are High School kids. If you can't play two games in one day, you really don't deserve a State Title. HS Sports are different this year. Everyone has had to adjust. Other sports have had to have athletes compete multiple times in the day to win a State Title this year as well. I'm with you. I don't see this as a big deal at all. At 17 I could play basketball at the park for 8 hours without subbing out. They'll be fine.

    The contender talk was fluff. Not that AZ is terrible, but you don't walk into that bloodbath of a division if that is your #1 goal. I'm sure he didn't want to play for a doormat but it clearly wasn't that high up the list. Edit: I suppose it's fair to say AZ is an ascending team with a lot of promise. But they are (probably) still a year away from true contention. I guess stranger things have happened than the Cardinals winning the NFC next year though. Surprising because they weren't on the radar, but in hindsight not truly shocking, I guess.

    You need more than one RB and it's become apparent the Packers require all their RBs to be able to line up at WR. But I've heard that they think Dillon is much more capable of that than the perception of him implies.

    He actually said they were an 11-5 team. In his defense that was with Wallace starting. Wallace didn't last 2 games though. He went on IR after that game Rodgers went down. I liked McGinn for a long time. But like I said, I'm convinced Rodgers did or said something to get under his skin, because the guy won't let it go.

    The toaster at work was a lot nicer than the one at my house because it was used by 500 people every day.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    McGinn is awful. He clearly does have some vendetta with Aaron Rodgers and that's not fanboy speak, it is obvious that something happened with those two that has made McGinn's need to grind an axe insufferable.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    How's his Spanish?
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    Darlings of the franchise usually don't end their career playing games with no fans. It was a lame way to go out. If they are sitting 15 games under .500 in August I don't see the harm in letting him play outfield to start an inning just to get subbed out. Weird but harmless.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    I actually feel like it's about 95% likely Braun plays this year either as a late season addition or a one game thing to get a proper send off.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    Jenkins can play any position. Tackle is a more demanding position, so it wouldn't surprise if he works there all off-season allowing them to put their best athletes there and fill in holes at guard which is generally easier to do. Although they probably would have done it last year if they wanted to. But they have a lot of options.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    He should have shut up and said "we'll play this out in the appeals process." Then the chain of command thing would have come into play, and people would have doubted the validity of the process. Instead he had to open his mouth and give that dramatic speech on camera, where he didn't just do that, he gave an EXTREMELY convincing presentation on his innocence. And he knew it was all a lie. Then it became "He got off on a technicality, everyone knows he did it." Because he didn't get off proving he didn't cheat, he got off on a technicality. His own speech set a much higher threshold for his innocence than he would have had to prove. I couldn't care less about any of it though.

    They are overly conservative on closing it in normal times. Many games with temps in the low 60's the roof is closed. Now it will be open. The reason to close the roof is so more people go to the games in inclement weather but that is not a factor since there won't be many people there to begin with. They are, but I can't think of a single evening game in April where I'd have wanted the roof open. That's not going to be in the 60s, it will be anywhere from high 30s to high 40s...the historical average night time temp is 37 degrees. I am hoping that they use that "unless it rains" caveat often and close it when it's 42 degrees and there's a cloud in Madison.

    I just don't see this as a viable option. The majority of people who've been vaccinated are high risk for one reason or another and probably less likely to go in the first place. Plus I don't think there will be any shortage of demand for SSH. They'll have more requests for tickets from them than they have seats. And they will not be happy to see someone else who got a vaccine they can't get took their seats.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    If the roof were dangerous, they wouldn't close it and play during rain. They would call the game off. That tells me everything I need to know.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    They already said it WILL be closed for precipitation, so, yes, it will be closed...and must not be that dangerous to do so either.

    So, to summarize things. Sitting on a full airplane shoulder to shoulder with a mask on for the duration of the flight = very low risk of transmission. Sitting in a 1.2 million square foot stadium in pods at 1/3 capacity, with a mask on, with the ceiling hundreds of feet above your head = risky enough that you must open the roof. I'm willing to bet my life savings that it is an infinitesimally small if not non-existent risk. Lots of domed stadiums just had football games. It was fine. This is simply required to pass this off as an outdoor event. It's about as logical as building a tent next to a restaurant that isn't allowed to open.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm not seeing how this is even remotely comparable to a 2000 sq ft house with a bunch of tiny rooms within and the windows open. It's a 50k capacity building with 10-15k people inside and a 330' foot roof. The square footage of AmFam is 1.2 million. And you have to wear a mask. So if I sneeze on the club level all my snot particles get sucked up into the night sky I guess. Seems like a non-existent or infinitesimally small "safety measure" for an awful lot of comfort sacrifice.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    At least you'll probably want to be wearing a mask for the first 6 weeks of the season.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    He juiced and got caught and suspended like the others who were caught. These are baseball players, they are not pastors. Occasionally they hit ball good. Don't let them be more than that in your life. If you like the way he hit the ball and want to cheer him for that, you can.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    This is kind of where I'm at. Statistically he's been better in a lot of advanced stats but it's not translating into a better team on the court. And I know they just won five games, but Holiday sitting out does not explain away how bad this team looks. I thought Holiday would make a much bigger difference than he has. I was giving some room for "gelling" but we are 30 games into the season and we look like the 6th seed in the Western Conference on a good day. And it's great if Giannis wanted Holiday, until it doesn't work if Giannis squirms his way into a trade in 2023 as a result of himself not being a great GM.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    Bud's done and should have been fired last season but got a Covid mulligan. The league is wise to their routine now and they need a shake up. Holiday hasn't been bad but these kinds of results for what they gave up are going to be bad. Lopez looks like he is finished too.
