Not many coaches about whom that can be said, but he and Pop are definitely there.

Pop could LITERALLY have been the guy writing the intelligence briefings that Trump is ignoring.

I love the gesture, but damn those would have been too ugly even for Craig.

I bet they all shopped at Hot Topic eight years ago.

I can’t overstate my disdain for the Stanford “band”. The hazing just makes it easier to dislike them.

I’ve said many times that there are three things ESPN still does well, despite all the complaints here and elsewhere:

Side note: I miss the British convention of introducing bands with “The” in front of their names, whether it was there or not: “The Cream”, “The Deep Purple”, “The Led Zeppelin”...

It should surprise no one that Incognito was an outspoken Trump supporter.

Joe Maddon got ahead of the curve here, in that everyone just dresses up instead. And wins World Series rings.

I agree that is was dangerously close to not working. In game 7, I would have rather seen the Edwards/Montgomery combo earlier, and let Chapman go balls out in the 9th to shut it down.

If you have to practice looking like you don’t look like you practice....ugh.

The “laser precision” bands have just as much fun, and are able to put on a coherent show despite being hungover every Saturday morning.

Go back to shitting your pants while waiting in the drive-thru at Long John Silver’s.

Postseason is different though. Maddon used him fairly traditionally during the regular season, but if you have a chance to win a ring, you have to be fine with putting a couple extra miles on some pitchers when necessary.

have you checked Rae Carruth’s trunk?

Ron Dayne’s fine. I saw him at Ho-Chunk Casino a few weeks ago playing $10 blackjack with some friends. Looked to be well fed.

Kevin Harlan is my favorite national announcer.

maybe those tens of thousands who don’t like it could do something about the tens of thousands that remain JoePa loyalists, and want the statue back, and think they’re the victim.

I was AT this game. It was the era when everyone had cell phones, but just for calling and maybe texting, so those of us in the cheap seats had no idea what was going on behind home plate. We knew that both teams were low on pitchers, but not THAT low. As people called home to see what the broadcasters were revealing,…

Of the top ten payrolls in MLB this year - only five made the playoffs (Dodgers, Red Sox, Giants, Nationals, and Rangers). Cubs are 14th, Orioles 15th, Blue Jays 17th, Mets 19th, and Indians 24th.
