Jason Kidd ordered his players to foul with 12 seconds left when they were up 4 points tonight. His reasoning: Reporter: "What's the philosophy of taking that foul at that point?" Kidd: "They're trying to play the game of quick 2's to save their timeouts. So we'll just play the free throw game with them. I believe that my guys will make their freethrows. If they miss one, then it works. It's a free throw game no matter what. We wanted to send them to the line and it worked out." He literally gave them the quickest two possible. I'm just done. I can't even fathom how he remains this teams head coach.

You're assuming the company is compensating and allowing people to work their way up. The new way of doing things in big companies is to care less for training, make people do that in their own time, then not give them compensation in accordance with their new skillsets. Loyalty flows two ways, it's something I've learned in tech over the last 10 years, and in general, companies over 50 or so people, don't have loyalty, only profit margins.

The Packers went 15-1 during a season Capers coached one of the bottom 5 defenses in the league. The fact that he wasn't fired after that season is laughable.

4 straight losses to top 25 teams. 3 of them were winnable in the last 2 minutes. This might be the year they miss the tournament. Why? Well, the Junior class of 2015, the year Bo Ryan said, "I might retire" is simply terrible.

1962 I believe. Yep. They hit 4th a few times in the last 30 years, but never got over that hump. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/wisconsin/

Good resort style hotel in the area for a weeks stay
Baldkin replied to gebc1997's topic in Off-Topic Forum
If you/your family enjoys the outdoors, there are tons of cool hikes, ranging from 2 miles to 20 miles, to do within an hour of Milwaukee. I'd be happy to infodump with a more in depth post, if you're interested. As for weekday afternoons in Milwaukee downtown: The lakefront is easy to spend a day at, whatever festival is happening during that week/weekend could easily be hit at the Summerfest grounds (probably Irish fest that weekend), as is the Art Museum. Simply walking around downtown on the Riverwalk could easily be a day as well. Wandering to different breweries (if that's your thing) could easily be done. Tons of good food options to explore downtown - from $10 to $50 a meal. Milwaukee has a sneaky good food scene. -
That's not the official uniform, it's a "wild guess" from some guy with photoshop skills. Nike hasn't announced the actual uniforms yet.

I was there for the Ron Dayne years, and it was exactly the same as it is now -- only now they "reward" you with a better seat if you get there early with the way they exchange tickets. This isn't going to change. It's the same way for Basketball games, you just don't see it as 1/2 the student seats are in the upper deck at the Kohl Center (and those go last).

Have fun, man!!

Manny and Beltran is actually a good comparison. Braun isn't even close to either one of them. Manny is absolutely a HOF if the PED users start getting in. He's probably the one of the 5 best right handed hitters of the last 40 or so years. Edit: Added spoiler tag, that graph is huge.

He had an 8 year stretch where he put up 47 WAR between 2001-2008. Even if he wasn't "anointed" as the best CF in baseball, he was absolutely that. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/jaws_CF.shtml 9th all time in JAWS for CFs. 8th all time in WAR. The idea that he isn't a HOF... its just.... wow. Jim Edmonds is the guy who is the maybe/maybe not debate, and he fell off the ballot in 1 season. The HoF committee hasn't yet come around to judging CF's against other CFs, instead of against LF/1B.

Bennett is a complete liar and has burned any and all bridges with the Packers with what he's done since he was cut. I stood up for him until the latest bunch of crap he's pulled. Including, but not limited to, throwing the Packers long time doctor under the bus, by saying other doctors told him he needed season ending surgery on his shoulder, and the Packers were pressuring him to play. Then the week after he's cut, he's playing for the Patriots.

College Football put a committee in place, not computers, so it can maximize revenue. Any idea that anything else was happening here is pure misdirection. They aren't going to take Boise St over Alabama. Ever.

The fact that Dom wasn't fired after the 15-1 season was a complete joke. They gave up the most points, most yards, and finished 24th in DVOA in the league that season.
-
Giannis shot 27 shots, I believe 22 of them were jump shots. When your offense doesn't involve hardly any pick 'n roll and you consistently initiate your offense with a back-to-the basket post up, 25 feet from the hoop, your team doesn't shoot many free throws.

Giannis getting all the national love these days. What a great guy and a great player. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/03/sports/basketball/giannis-milwaukee-bucks.html

Favorite Brewer Jersey to Wear and Why
Baldkin replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
SUPER JEALOUS. D-Train was so fun to watch when he was in Florida. I have an Aoki Jersey that I wear a good amount. Last year at the rummage they were selling spring training jerseys. I got one with no name and 99 on the back. I've been wearing that. I was hoping I could get a name put on it, but no one has worn 99. I refuse to put "Bat Boy" on there, either. I also have a Gary Mathews jersey that I pull out from time to time. That's the only other game used jersey I'd throw on. The rest of em I won't wear. Why not Batman? (It is Halloween after all) -
Regularly hike between 15 and 20 miles when I backpack. Put in one day that was just over 30 (only had to go up and over one pass that day). The key to walking long distances isn't walking faster, it's walking for longer. You can't really walk much beyond ~3.25 MPH as a human (even that is fast), but you can walk for 15 hours instead of 5.

2017 Playoff Thread [World Series: HOU vs. LAD]
Baldkin replied to owbc's topic in Archived Game Threads
Now, once again, Kershaw isn't a good pitcher according to hot takes. -
Yep, he is a great QB coach. Not a HC. There are lots of great coaches in all sports that can't be a good much less great HEAD coach. And I'll even give MM more credit that that. I think he was a really good HC. But time is way overdue to move on. He has his window won a SB, can't live off 2011 forever. TT is really getting a pass here too. Capers should have been gone a long time ago too, but it's not like TT has provided him with a boat load of talent. I'm on an island, I know, but I've been calling for a complete overhaul for over 3 years now. Capers should've been gone after the 15-1 year when they gave up more points than any other team in the league. It was laughable he was kept around.

His dad just died, every major sport or basketball publication has him as an MVP candidate, he had arguably his best game of his career, and had a steal/dunk/block sequence that lead directly to them winning the game, and people in Wisconsin are really excited about basketball. It's not embarrassing at all. It is when they are loudly distracting him out when he's trying to shoot free throws to win a game.

The main reason punters used to do that was to try to get a ball down inside the 20. Since the late 1990's, the rugby style/aussie style kick has taken over in the NFL. This causes the ball to bounce sideways/backwards when it lands, making it much easier to be downed inside the 20. The style of kick also leads itself to better distance control & hangtime.
