Any Yankees fans know the deal there?

Up 10-1 so far. Long season guys, relax. The team has improved and should be in the mix for a wild card.

I'm not saying Babe Ruth wouldn't be a good player. I suspect with his build and batting eye he'd be a Prince Fielder with better batting average type today. One reason is of course the much lesser level of talent he competed against...no black people of course but really no Latins or Asians...

The NBA thread is too long, sometimes I want specific discussions in their own thread LOL My favorite economics + other stuff blogger (Scott Sumner) is a big Bucks fan so some bias here, but he makes really good points that Giannis should be MVP this year (even though he has very little buzz...

I never use that so I don't know the details of how it works. I know it blocks you from seeing that poster's entries. But do you see them if they are quoted by someone else? Or does the quote also get blocked?

Time to take the guess I'll go with 88 wins (and a 2nd or 3rd WC spot) A bit homerish but that's what fandom is about

We all saw where I got this idea, thought it'd be fun to put up a poll I think I included everyone How people choose and how many will be interesting

I know there was really a guy named that who walked on at Notre Dame yadda yadda. But at the end, did the real Rudy actually get in the game and make a tackle?

2 minutes and 20 seconds left in the game, one of the teams is up 2 points, they kick off to the other team for a touchback, that team starts on their 25 with 1 timeout. Chiefs fans: Would you rather be up 2 and Brock Purdy and the Niners get the ball on their 25, or would you rather be down 2...

Honestly I think he's the GOAT. Obviously he has to keep building the resume and stacking accolades, but in terms of who has been the most physically and mentally gifted to ever play QB? If you were starting a team from scratch and could pick any player who ever played in the NFL in their...

Let's be honest, these guys are literally paid to investigate and analyze this stuff, I learned a lot reading this https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2024/1/29/24054437/super-bowl-kansas-city-chiefs-san-francisco-49ers-las-vegas

FIRST!! Almost wrote 'Chefs' in the title on purpose, great googly moogly If the Niners D is like today Chiefs win easy. But it will be a tossup kind of game probably 3 or less the spread

Probably not worth its own thread but just read this is the first year since 1998 that neither Peyton Manning nor Tom Brady were in the playoffs

Don't want to jinx it but I can't think of any noteworthy players out for the year, or that have even missed big chunks of time. Seem that way to youse guys? Not really counting Draymond here LOL

Just putting this out there after 2 illustrative playoff games. Not even sure it's right, want to get some reactions People like to say 'Lamar Jackson/Brock Purdy/Baker Mayfield/Tom Brady/etc' have x number of QB wins (especially in the playoffs). But winning a football game is the ultimate...

Maybe not worth its own thread but the NBA thread is all over the place Watched the Warriors win in Chicago (finally!)...the Bulls were creating that very night at halftime a Ring of Honor and putting all the Bulls greats (not just the MJ era) in, some highlights, some were there in person, MJ...

Both are the 1 seeds, the 1 seeds both made the SB last year too, it's a major deal with the new rules And they both look like easily the best teams in their conferences. What do y'all think?

Didn't see one so made my own Already did my favorite one, maybe will revisit But to start off, without looking it up of course, when was the last Super Bowl to happen in January?

Self explanatory. Anyone I forgot? Dallas I feel has already made deep playoff runs so I excluded them from this poll

I've never played... When you have a defense selected for your matchup, do all the points the other team scores count against you? Or does your defense not get penalized when the other team scores a defensive or special teams TD? Do pick 6s count against your defense?

The 2 winningest teams of the 21st century (2000-2023) are the Steelers and Patriots Name the next 3 (or 4 I know that one too) Hat tip to Mike Greenberg's radio show I listened to on the way to work

...if Joe Montana's teams were playing today people would say the same stuff: - Doesn't have a big arm - Kind of smallish (1.5 inches taller than Purdy) - Not a high draft pick (3rd round #82) - Gets all his yards from Jerry Rice YAC, short passes (this is actually BS even as a fact...Purdy's...

Just saw this on my news feed, Mark Cuban is selling the Mavericks to Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, 2 of the Trumpiest billionaires in the country.

He's making a good case for it
