    Their entire team is a walking embarrassment. At the end of regulation Mahomes and a WR were having a complete meltdown argument over him not throwing the ball to him. Mahomes has the same on field reactions that Rodgers got roasted for (throwing hands up etc.), but Mahomes goes to the sideline crying to top it off. People never want the Chiefs to win anymore because of their success, but I am surprised they aren't getting hate for the way they act. That being said, I hope Jordan Love turns into an insufferable personality. It seems like a requirement to be the best QB in the league.

    It wasn’t any different in the end, was it? Before a field goal wasn’t enough to end the game on the opening drive…unless my memory is toast.
  3. MrTPlush
    Correct…but it would have allowed their next possession to be a FG to win. Honestly, you could argue it would have been better to kick it to start. Let them be conservative, instead of Mahomes with 4 downs every time.
  4. MrTPlush
    Then again they probably don’t need to even risk one of those 4th downs if they had learned anything all game on those shorter 3rd downs. Chiefs kept bringing the house and the 49ers never adjusted. Kept having guys run routes that weren’t half completed before Purdy was getting nearly sacked.
  5. MrTPlush
    Yawn, one team has the best QB in football by a mile and the other has an elite game manager QB. 49ers should have just grown a pair one of the many chances they had to win the game. They deserved to lose. It is like the Tom Brady dynasty with a fraction of the competition.

    Honestly, dangerous or not…there isn’t any reason to be there after dark. It’s much like AmFam…why would you be near the stadium after dark…no point.
  8. MrTPlush
    I’m sure the Brewers would jump on any decent offer. I don’t think teams are dumb enough though. Unless you really want to save money, just keep him around as a fan favorite with Woodruff/Burnes gone.
  9. MrTPlush
    It dawned on me when someone mentioned Hoskins in the Burnes thread and being traded.: I could be pretty dumb in my thinking, but I’m pretty sure Hoskins is virtually untradable outside of a salary dump. Either he isn’t good enough and his second year is accepted by him…so no one will touch him with a 100 foot pole. HOWEVER, even if he is playing great, that second year is a huge roadblock. If a team traded for him and blew out his knee, their 3 month rental turns into a 1.5 year financial disaster. So if he is playing well, we may be able to find a taker, but due to his ‘24 price (not cheap) and risk of him coming back a second year his value would be basically nothing. So this trade doesn’t have some silver lining if we aren’t competing by trading him for something.
  10. MrTPlush
    Wouldn’t read much into it. He is one of the rare cases of an MLB players using Twitter like NFL players…like a 13 year old teenager. He did the same thing after Counsell signed with the Cubs. Pretty sure ye had some tweet after getting traded here. He just likes to make knee jerk reactions with emojis. Everyone else just thinks the same privately.
  11. MrTPlush
    The fact some of you guys are hammering the guy for his lack of success in less than 50 MLB ABs is a bit ridiculous, don't yah think? There has got to be a dozen better arguments with some kind of relevant substance than that.
  12. MrTPlush
    And for example sake: Last year the Marlins held the #35 pick in the draft. At #10 they got Noble Meyer to sign $1mil under slot. They then used those savings to give the #35 pick Thomas White almost $1.5mil overshot. White was ranked in high teens to low twenties for the draft. His eventual signing bonus was equivalent to pick #17. Teams usually know what kind of bonus guys are looking for going into the draft. A lot of high school guys will only sign for 1st rounder money or sometimes 2nd rounder money to be swayed from college. So there is a lot of opportunity to pick up a guy you had high on your board that falls to the 2nd or 3rd round...but you need the bonus pool money to give them the 1/2 round money they want. On the flip side a guy projected for a round much later than when he is picked usually will take the money where he was projected, not where he was selected. The most infamous year I can recall the Brewers doing this was the year they apparently loved Kodi Medeiros. He wasn't projected anywhere near the first half of the first round, so we saved crazy bonus pool money on him. We then got Jake Gatewood and Monte Harrison. At the time most fans gushed over the haul, as did many experts. Getting Gatewood and Harrison after the first was considered quite a haul. Hopefully I am recalling that story right and the players involved. Of course we played that game last year giving 2nd round money to Pratt (6th rounder). 2nd round money or he was going off to Ole Miss.
  13. MrTPlush
    Yah, that probably torpedoed any shot of the Brewers holding onto Burnes and going all-in with them all. I think people are really underrating the #34 pick. That is a REALLY good selection to have. That’s basically a first round pick and adds a lot of bonus pool money. Whoever we select isn’t some lottery ticket…that’s a legit prospect with really good potential.
  14. MrTPlush
    He wasn’t going to be any more valuable in July and has immense potential to torpedo his trade value. Burnes has regressed year after year and there is always the chance of injury. One year of control just isn’t valuable like it used to be and seems as though there probably wasn’t the market some hoped for. Two weeks before ST and finally the Brewers just had to accept the best offer they could get. Good riddance to him though. Not really a fan of crybaby millionaires.
  15. MrTPlush
    Yah, I always thought the theory was one above home plate…probably shading towards left field side. I guess LF will see this one…and I guess RF can break their neck and look away from the action for it, but it really isn’t what was needed or wanted by fans. I guess I won’t complain too much…at least it is an upgrade out of the ownership groups pocket.
  16. MrTPlush
    Losing the huge cringe advertisements…nice Putting the second scoreboard somewhere still horribly inconvenient for the OF attendees, kinda dumb.
  17. MrTPlush
    I would agree...and still somewhat do but: The NFC is literal garbage at the QB position. It came down to Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, Jordan Love, and Baker Mayfield. That is pretty sad. If Mahomes, Allen, and Jackson were all in their conference I would be like yup...they just blew their chance. However, with the QB play on the NFC these days, it is anyone's for the taking. They really weren't that good though...and benefitted greatly playing the Vikings twice at the end of the year when Cousins wasn't on the field. Life isn't going to be as easy next year if Cousins returns, the Packers are stronger out of the gate., and they have the schedule of a divisional winner. They best keep drafting really well. They will have to waste a lot of cap space signing back their good but not great players (their WRs, guards, etc.) and they have some mega contracts close on the horizon. They probably have a few decent shots left before their cap situation really starts to weigh on them.
  18. MrTPlush
    Well, I wish I didn't have to pay into a pension or into social security...but here we are. Gotta love mandatory programs to protect idiots from not saving at all.
  19. MrTPlush
    Well, I never said their money is unlimited. Even in the hypothetical the $100mil disaster costed them $50mil in actuality. That is nothing to them. Us losing shared revenue? Yah, not good. Profitability in baseball really isn't in being competitive. The Dodgers would be infinitely way better off running a Brewers sized payroll. There is a reason the A's jog out a $45mil payroll. Bigger payroll doesn't really mean bigger profits. The ROI just isn't there.
  20. MrTPlush
    That is assuming they reduce their payroll to match the reduction in revenue. The difference between the Brewers and Dodgers is the fact their payroll is nowhere near what they actually bring in revenue wise. The Brewers, like many small markets, have a payroll that leaves a lot less profit margin. The Dodgers could lose $100mil off their TV deal, run the same payroll, and probably still have crazy profits.
  21. MrTPlush
    It would be pretty ideal if the option was around $20mil though. Then you can offer the QO with zero risk as the numbers would be nearly identical.
  22. MrTPlush
    Why would it make it hard? That second year is nothing more than insurance for Hoskins if he comes back a disaster. Any resemblance of his old self and he will rip that up to go sign a 3-5 multi year deal. Though if he rips it up, I am pretty sure we can offer him a QO and get compensation. As long as there isn’t a handshake agreement to not do so…unless I am way behind on current QO rules or if they even exist still. Which is possible. Regardless, if you are a Brewers fan, you are definitely hoping this ends up a one year deal. If he doesn’t opt out, that is a pretty good sign he played terribly.
  23. MrTPlush
    If Todd Helton gets in, just put in the PED guys too. Crazy
  24. MrTPlush
    I believe he joins Jenkins, Fielder, and Sheets as the only players from the 2000s. This is the third year in a row someone has been inducted. Though it may be the last for quite awhile. I’m guessing the next guys to be added will be Burnes and Yelich. Hader also probably gets in someday too. Though I suppose Hoffman may have a chance before then if they get bored and want to vote someone in.
  25. MrTPlush
    Yes, I guess I’m the sense why he is still available in general. I suppose I wasn’t thinking of it like that.
