I was gonna reply with the exact same thing. Had a conversation with a buddy up in GB and he’s pretty stoked about it. We both agreed that it could be 70’s and gorgeous, a blizzard or anything in between that time of year.

Bucks are reportedly down to three:

Great minds think alike

Packers adding a safety.

What exactly did Payamps do to get called for a balk? Sure looked like the batter was in the box with his eyes up for a count or two before Payamps came set.

Does it build some good faith with Love by giving him some extra coin if he plays well and meets incentives? Maybe helps with an extension in the future vs just picking up the option? Also give the Packers an added bonus of lower guaranteed money if he sucks. So there are benefits to both sides.

Are you sure it isn’t just your connection? I’m not having any unusual load times for the threads with the videos and tweets they are posting. I’m also enjoying the draft pick info so I don’t have to go sift through twitter on my own.

I’m guessing they were hoping to steal game 3 in Miami without him and then have Giannis suit up with a few more days of rest for game 5 in Milwaukee with the series, at worst, tied 2-2.

Why? The Trash Pandas is a sweet name.

Because that is totally an apples to apples comparison. Also, if the players don’t like it - negotiate it out of the CBA. Sucks for Cepheus and the other players, but if I was set to make $1m, pretty sure I could also avoid betting on NFL games or making bets in team facilities.

Looks like it’s done?

That isn’t how it works. He’s not getting additional incentives no matter who he signs with - if he decides to sign with any team. If he signs with a team, that team is obligated to pay the league minimum and the D-backs are obligated to pay the remaining amount of the contract. That’s just how it works. Not at all, he can sit at home and just collect his money. I’m assuming he’ll sign with the Cardinals and become good again. Because Cardinals…

This is ridiculous.

Looks like Giannis was upgraded to questionable. I’d imagine that bodes well for him playing tonight.

You’re right on the NFL maths. I was calculating the games played for all the other leagues manually so but googled how many total NFL games, added the playoff games and then divided by two on auto-pilot. I’ll be honest that I wasn’t expecting the numbers to be where they were overall. I figured there were more player ejections in baseball but managers make up a significant majority of those. I don’t disagree about umps having thin skin especially when a player tosses a bat or helmet and gets rung for “disrespecting the ump” or whatever BS. However, if an NBA player was yelling at a ref like baseball players/managers do at umps for most ejections they would get a double T and an ejection. A running clock and the game not stopping for you to yell at a ref probably plays some role in why you see it less in football.

I think you'd be surprised at how often it happens in other sports. College football regularly ejects players for targeting but I'm not going to search around to find out how many since there are so many teams. I really couldn't find any data on NHL in a quick google search but with fighting and game misconduct penalties with ejections I'd imagine they have quite a few ejections too. If you'd include soccer, they regularly have ejections as well due to red cards but I couldn't find something quick for EPL or MLS. - NFL had 16 player ejections in 2022-23 regular season/playoffs - about one player every 9 total games. LINK - NBA had 70 player ejections in 2022-23 regular season (based on fines for ejection, not sure if all players received a fine for being ejected or there could be more) - about one player every 19 total games. LINK - MLB had 62 player ejections in 2022 regular season/playoffs (total ejections were 177) - about one player every 40 total games and about one player or manager every 14 games. LINK

They look just as terrible on Gameday.

This. Quick Pitch on MLB Network had something on this last night/this morning and they have the camera view of O’Neil going from second to home and it looks like he’s going at like 3/4 speed with little effort to me. Couldn’t happen to a better franchise.

RRB is definitely on the positive side of the poster spectrum but hardly a yes man - they are plenty critical of the team/players/owner at times. Difference is they at least have some balance to their posts unlike you. You are nothing more than a troll. It is posts like this that lose you any credibility (not sure you had much left) you may have had on this board. You hear what you want to hear and just make stuff up. At least you’ve learned he’s only, and now call him, the principal owner and not sole owner who can just do whatever (baby steps). Now you just need to find a way to understand the financial differences between baseball teams. Ah, there it is. The “I’m not a pessimist. I’m a realist.” post. Just because your negative, does not give you any special insight on the team over those who choose a positive approach and doesn’t make you a realist. If you are so certain about the Brewers being crap - back it up. If they don’t win 83 games (since that’ll be a miracle!), why don’t you quit posting?

I have it with TDS.

Why don’t you watch the condensed games and/or recap on the MLB app? The condensed games are usually between 7-10 minutes with the recap around 3 minutes - allows me to catch up on all the games I miss with 3 kids (soon to be 4) in the house. I can watch on my phone or I have the app on all my fire sticks and just watch it on one of my TVs.

This is where I stand on it. Put the trophy in a case somewhere and toss the net you cut down from the game around it and call it a day.

I know this is a few days old, but I just had surgery so I’m just sitting around and this caught my eye. How do you justify considering his college completion percentage to hold more weight than his pro completion percentage outside of being a homer or wishful thinking? Even with the Bears being able to add more talent with their draft capital and thru free agency with their massive cap space, they still won’t hold the massive talent gap between teams as Fields had playing at OSU. He also likely had a significant gap between coaching, scheme and resources compared to many of the teams played in college that he won’t in the NFL. Fields wasn’t more of a pass first QB while at OSU (didn’t run as much at Georgia but hard to put much stock into about 80 combined attempts as a backup across 12 games) compared to what he’s done with the Bears. In fact, he has less rushes per game (and essentially the same amount of throws per rush) in the NFL than college - he’s just been more productive when running in the NFL. Rush/Game: OSU - 9.91 Bears - 8.59 Pass Attempt/Rush: OSU - 2.66 Bears - 2.53 I’m a Packers fan (and most definitely biased in the other direction), so I’m obviously hoping he’s terrible in the long run and the Bears waste these draft picks trying to building around Fields. Heck, I’d love for him to show some unsustainable progress this year that leads the Bears to sign him to a massive, long term contract that blows up in their face.

I’m honestly sorta surprised at responses like this that I’ve seen here and other places defending the ump/thinking it was okay because it ‘taught the player a lesson’. Yes, the player overreacted to a terrible strike 2 call (and no, it wasn’t a clear strike and the announcers were surprised by the call/commented that it was “way low”). Did he ‘disrespect’ the ump? Sure, I guess the kid could have handled it better but he took a couple of hops out of the batters box, maybe said a few words (couldn’t clearly see his face watching the video on my phone), got back in the box and pointed to where the ball crossed the plate without saying anything. What does the adult do to this? Makes a mockery of the game with what has to be the worst strike 3 call I’ve ever seen. The ump disrespected the integrity of the game and the pitcher/both teams more with his strike three call than anything the batter did. A dad teaching moment there would have been for the ump to call the rest of the game professionally and then speak to the player afterwards - the ump showed zero respect for the game with his actions. Professionalism/integrity from the ump should be expected if the score is 1-0 with the tying run on 3rd or down 7-3 with two strike and two outs in the 9th. No excuse for the call. It is baseball, there is no clock and you are never completely out of it until all of your outs have been used up. May 11, 2004: Wes Helms ended a 14-inning battle with a home run to top Montreal, but the real fun was a five-run ninth to tie. In fact, the Brewers were down to their last strike and still facing a four-run deficit, but Chad Moeller singled against Rocky Biddle, Brooks Kieschnick doubled and Scott Podsednik tied the game with a two-run single. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/mlb/brewers/2021/05/14/25-top-walk-off-homers-milwaukee-brewers-history/4512962001/

You seem to keep ignoring that the state is contractually obligated for maintaining AmFam Field as well as keeping it updated.
