Game 14 : Packers @ Seahawks - Sunday, Dec 15th 7:20 PM
OldSchoolSnapper replied to HarryDoyle's topic in Other Sports
They're 3-4 at home this year. The reality is that it isn't a very hostile environment. They built that reputation with a team that won back-to-back NFC titles. They won because they were good, as is usually the case. -

I think the Rams are going to take that division. Tampa will take the South. There isn't a gimmie in the NFC playoffs if that happens. Washington is probably the weakest link. It will be a fun tournament. I don't think any game would be predictable other than the 2 v 7 if that happens. -
At least we'll get a couple weeks of people shutting up about the Lions being invincible as if they are some generationally dominant team. There is a very real possibility they don't even win the division.
-
The 49ers suck and need a scapegoat.
-
I consider myself a major football fan. Before this clip surfaced, I couldn't have told you last week whose record Strahan broke.
-
I think the Brewers will get a lot of out of both these guys. It's not an exciting trade by any means but for a non-daily player that I never really cared for, it's fine. Durbin is a bit of lottery ticket, maybe that's generous as we probably know about what his ceiling is, but I think they'll get some good value out of Cortes. He should benefit from leaving the ALE too.
-
The Packers should probably just shut Jaire down with next to zero chance to improve their seed anyway. Get him some light work the last game of the season maybe.
-
When you're the Yankees it doesn't matter. You just fill need at whatever price.
-
I bet there is at least one that does. It wasn't that long ago I remember reading a scout in SI saying his front office is not even interested at looking at a pitcher under 6'3. I know this is an age-old debate around here that I don't care to get into, but I do believe that "clutch" is a thing. Not in the sense that some players "get better," but I do believe that certain players shrink. I don't think 2 1/3 innings is enough to make that judgment, but on the limited sample we do have + Devin's other issues, I don't think he's a mentally strong guy. I am glad he's gone, and I trust the team will get some juice out of the return.
-
That is kind of how I feel about him. The numbers don't lie, he's an effective player, so I temper what I say appropriately. But I didn't like him. I never felt confident with him, and I think he's a headcase.
-
I am glad Williams is out the door.
-
It's not hard to find because there is an 8-minute video of him babbling on Youtube I posted here somewhere. He just repeats himself a bunch and says he was talking trash and did the throat slash. He's not the sympathetic figure he seems to think he is. I visited the Lions subreddit and they mostly think he's an idiot that crossed the line.
-
He did this before, I believe that is what sealed his fate. He was dumb enough to go on local TV and mouth off about doing it with Todd Bowles, who, according to him, just laughed it off. He should have gone away quietly once he was ejected, instead of making the rounds in the media.
-
Expected outcome and what I was saying to anyone who kept saying "LaFleur did exactly what the fan wanted." Yeah, maybe for those 10 seconds. MLF will never think about this dope again. He'll spend the next 12 months begging the Lions to get his tickets back and possibly miss going to the NFCCG that clinches the Super Bowl. Dummy needed to realize where he was, not in section 318 yelling stuff nobody could hear. This really puts a smile on my face. I'm glad he's devastated. He "wishes he could tell his side of the story." Dude - just stop talking already.
-
I am guessing that Tauscher and Franks couldn't care less about it. The only thing about it that ever bothered me in the slightest was just handing a record to a guy. I am actually kinda surprised any Packers fan cares about it. It was a nothingburger for me - really, it wasn't like the HR record or something big in pop culture. Nobody really cared about it.
-
I like the midseason tournament. I thought it was a stupid idea but I've had fun with it. I want them to get a trophy.
-
I think most people thought it was a lame way to break a record. Strahan has said since that it wasn't worth it, though I doubt in the heat of the moment he really knew they gave it to him. I can still remember reading the newspaper the next day and some guys were maintaining it wasn't a dive, when really everyone knew that it was. Gastineau wouldn't be in the hall either way. And the funny thing about that record...nobody knew whose it was. It wasn't like Roger Marris. Everyone knew there was a sack record and that Strahan was gunning for it, but I don't remember a single person mentioning the name Mark Gastineau. Probably not in the top 5 of douchey things Brett Favre did, but I am glad we got that clip out of it. Just hilarious. Favre looks like he thinks he is kidding at first.
-
That clip was bizarre, hilarious, and Gastineau is clearly not..."there." Two things though - one, I don't think that happened today. I think it's from a 30 for 30 that's coming out, fairly recent but I think it's old. Second, Gastineau should check his receipts. Look up Tim "Doc" Anderson and his role in that fiasco. I always thought it was lame from Favre, but that was about it. The record's been broken since anyway. Sounds like Mark's teammates all hate his guts to boot.
-
I don't think it can be done. Unless you are talking about things AI can handle; was it a first down, did it cross the goal line, how many Newtons were applied to his facemask (lol). As long as there is any subjective thing considered under replay, we will have missed calls, wrong calls, human error and controversy. That goes back to my thesis, replay hasn't solved anything, it's just moved them. Replay has obviously corrected calls, but it has not eliminated bad calls and controversy, so in my eyes it hasn't done anything other than detract from the entertainment value of the sport and slow it down.

Game 13 : Packers @ Lions - Thursday, Dec 5th 7:15 PM
OldSchoolSnapper replied to OldHeidelberg's topic in Other Sports
I think the Lions do, and that is why they were really trying to slam the door against the Packers. Had the Packers won that game, nothing would really change for the Packers, but it would have really opened the door to the Lions losing the bye. I don't think the Vikings are going to win out though. I believe they'll lose to either Detroit or Green Bay and possibly both. I think Campbell was more aware of Philly being hot on their tail and making sure they do not end up playing them in Philly. -
I wish they'd whack all challenges if they aren't going to implement lasers and such that just don't miss calls. Replay has just gotten worse since its inception. Constantly changing the gray area of what you can and can't challenge. Going to replay a good chunk of the time and seemingly still getting the call wrong. It has not cut down on controversy at all. People just argue about stuff more now. More importantly though I just find it awful as a fan watching for entertainment. Most climactic moments follow with a few minutes of finger crossing hoping that what you just got excited about isn't wiped off the board. All because of our obsession with getting some calls in a sports game "right" - which we aren't even doing anyway. It's just made the televised product worse.
-
I'm hoping an over-saturation of guys on 5 teams gets so bad that it becomes more feasible for the top tier of the leftovers to go play in Elon Musk's new league or something. Then fans of the other 26 cities decide that is more fun for them and there is a salary cap etc. Completely unrealistic and ridiculous but I want it to happen.
-
Yeah, Puka running around without Jaire is not something I want to think about. Of course without Jaire the Packers aren't going anywhere anyway.
-
Looking more and more likely the Packers could travel to Los Angeles and not Seattle especially if they beat Seattle next week. The Rams play a much softer schedule the rest of the way. Might come down to Rams/Seahawks in Week 18. Of course if that happens it's also likely Tampa moves to 3. Tampa or LA are both better than Seattle IMO.
-
Dumb league. How is this sustainable. Yes, just keep alienating 4/5 of your fanbases.
