Right you are. Also, to answer the question posed in the previous thread you astutely referenced: Yes. -
Didn't say he was: "QB who largely makes plays due to his legs". Dak uses his legs to run when necessary and create space/buy time for guys to get open. Very much like Rodgers early in his career. If his mobility is more limited, it could be problematic for his game. You apparently give the 'brain trust' (term used looosely) a bit more credit than I do!
-
Anything that literally starts with "a 1, a 2, a 3" has my Cubs troll sensor on high alert... Also, what?
-
Has there been one QB who largely makes plays due to his legs that has been able to successfully come back from a significant lower-body injury and match his pre-injury success?

Packer 2021 Team Discussion (Rodgers Out Vs. Chiefs)
PeaveyFury replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Other Sports
As his contract is one of the big items that would help their cap situation, it's not surprising that the current rumors surround him. I think he's still a productive player that was horribly misused at the start of last season at least, so I was hoping for a restructure. Wouldn't be shocked if they have to do the trade route, as it would literally save them $8mil. -
Tongue-in-cheek post, I know. But this truly is the type of contract that literally gets coaches fired. Dak is Jones' guy, Jones gives him a stupid contract, and only one person can actually feel the consequences when it destroys their cap, prevents them from improving the team, etc. It truly is funny that this isn't even the first time the Cowboys have done this with a non-elite QB, since they literally did it with Romo ~12 years ago. Acceptable, above-average NFL QB that you pay like he's the best in the league. The modern league is hard enough to win in when you pay even the elite QB's their going rate and they make your cap situation rough. Doing so with a non-elite QB like Dak is potentially franchise-destroying.

Yeah, wife got Moderna and her arm hurt a lot (she compared it to a Tetanus shot, which I agree hurts more than most), but not much else after dose #1. Your weekend is probably minimally impacted. Sounds like dose #2 can be more significant, but even that is short-lived.
-
Agree to disagree, then. I think people will adapt and either pay for food in the stadium, or eat before hand, and people who choose not to go to a game altogether as a result will be a significant minority IMO.
-
In a lot of cases, absolutely. But it won't be 100% of the cases, and if 10% of those people now buy a $30 meal in the stadium, that's thousands of extra revenue they had NO share of previously. They'll use the return of tailgating as the 'bone' they'll throw to those people: "We're excited to announce the return of tailgating to the Am Fam Clam parking lots in 2022!!!!!!! No carry-ins."

I think it's faaaaaar more likely that it's just an antiquated policy that has held over for years that most baseball teams haven't tried to change while all other sports made the changes years ago. But that doesn't really make sense because it assumes the folks who are in charge of concessions/game day revenue for most of the teams are terrible at their jobs because they would have missed an obvious way to increase revenue before 2021, or were ignorant of what other teams in other leagues and cities have been doing. Of course it makes sense if part of what you're doing is avoiding a PR problem, which is 100% what keeping that policy in place is. Now, you change the policy due to an external circumstance that makes the PR part less of an issue (COVID), and when that issue is no longer an issue, you keep the new policy in place with far less of a PR hit.

Yep. I've long been perplexed that they allow this, honestly. I think the Badgers even did away with carry-in sealed water a few years back. There'll be a minor outcry initially, then it will completely be forgotten. Much like the 'clear bag/no carry-in' policy for the Packers/Badgers as well.
-
Seems very easy, though, just to not change the policy after it's implemented. They are, to my knowledge, the only Wisconsin sports team that allows this in the first place. Not shocking, IMO, if this is a permanent change.
-
Yeeeargh. Two great shots there, one clanked metal and the other a great save.
-
Man, what are the cap implications of THAT?
-
Fisher’s exit velocities were crazy yesterday.
-
This team is white hot at the right time. They’re good enough to win the whole thing.....
-
I would think if Gore was off limits in a Hader deal, as he likely is, Weathers would be a logical demand for the Brewers. As noted, if they're not willing to budge on a guy like him, no deal is happening.
-
I too feel that there is a huge increase in the amount of dogs in my neighborhood as well. Annoyingly, though we have two dogs ourselves, we A)usually pick up poo right away, or B)keep it confined to one relatively small area of our yard, and in winter our dogs are happy to oblige. Extremely frustrating to see poo in our yard, near the sidewalk, and not from our dogs for the reasons above. I really think some people think that when a home has dogs in it, they're free to just leave their own dog's poo in that yard for some reason.
-
Did you see them spending anything more on FAs before they signed JBJ either?
-
This was honestly one of my assumptions as well, regarding liability. You can, in a lot of ways, control what happens in the stadium. You can't at all in a parking lot. Eliminating that eliminates a larger potential liability problem for the team/city. And yes, as someone noted, I'm sure the team isn't at all disappointed with the 'drink our beer, not yours' aspect of this with limited capacity keeping revenue down.
-
So, what's left, if anything for Milwaukee? We seemingly had/have more money than thought, and it remains to be seen as to whether they're done or if there's still some to throw out there. With the focus clearly on defense/run prevention, is there anyone else out there that fits the bill? Pitching probably is the most logical place to add, if they're still looking to.
-
As a reminder, there's a separate COVID thread for discussion about COVID and COVID related items. For a greater discussion on stuff like the above, that probably belongs there. Otherwise, please keep this thread limited to COVID associated with MLB/fan-related 'protocol' and re-opening discussion. Thanks.
-
Couldn't agree more. MLB is a two-sided equation, and the Brewers are focusing on the run prevention side on purpose.
-
Could be. But by continually upgrading the defense, you could also flip a 2-1 loss to a 2-1 win in several places. Better defense means more competitive in close games.
