Also maybe they all lose

I’m so glad that announcer Lamar Hurd described Jake’s play in a way that someone not specialised in Maryland basketball can understand. We should have a name for plain wording like that.

I can’t speak to Germany, but it has definitely been a thing in the english system where interests that while not exactly big money, are moneyed for the division that they jump into, then spend to get a team promoted several tiers. They kind of create a professional team by getting in at the amateur level and paying…

I’m going with 6th division, but I can’t say I’ve done much research. 

If it was pre-rookie scale era then I’d agree. But at the end of the day he’s a 5'9" QB. There is no guarantee any QB taken in the draft is going to be good or even great, let a lone one with his size. If the pro-NFL argument is that he’d be an All Pro QB vs. an average MLB player, then an argument for the opposite…

America is a free country. The players and the families know what is best for them.

No, it doesn’t. I’m so tired of NFL teams ruining young QBs by trying to force them into starting roles at 21 or 22. The NFL is a different, much faster game, and guys aren’t even at their physical peak at that age. Draft guys like this, let them sit behind a good veteran for a couple years, then plug them in. Set…

the decision-making to attempt a tough throw knowing that if it went wrong it still couldn’t be picked

While I see everyone’s point regarding Chelsea’s ability to ingratiate youngster’s into their squads and starting lineups, this is not the same manager that bought/sold De Bruyne, Salah, Lukaku, etc. Sarri will absolutely play young players, look at Piotr Zielinski at Napoli. Dude was what, 19 when Sarri entrusted him…

“That’s the first time he’s done that this year.”

Jesus Christ, that outtake video.  I am literally crying here, and hoping no one steps into my office for the next minute until I can get composed.

It was actually a hamstring, but you’re pretty close.

40 years into the boom and can anyone say what the US style of play is?

It was a make-up call for the missed helmet to helmet hit on Rivers on the preceding play. They call that and the Chargers are right there anyway. Both teams got some weak ass calls going their way. The “hold” on the Chiefs last scoring drive was every bit as weak as the PI for the Chargers.

If it were actual Jaguars, I’d watch.

Yeah, Alisson looks gutted to have Klopp out there.

The Pac-12 administration is a huge fucking joke - highest administrative costs of any of the Power 5 conferences, headquartered in San Francisco, paying something like $6M a year in rent, (includes their network headquarters). Not a big fan of John Canzano, sports writer for the Oregonian, but he’s doing a…
