3 MLB games and an NFL preseason game.

I like the Mariners over the Indians/Guardians for the Cleveland homers.

POLL - Should AD be suspended?

Should he be suspended? But, be informed.....discipline in practices are handled by the team and not the League. Former players coming out of the woodwork saying no he shouldn't, this is part of football.....it happens. Vote and discuss.

Not going to argue semantics with you. But I would be willing to bet that the Guardians finish with fewer than 80 wins this season.

if you were to revise your guess for the Guardians- what would it be now?

pitching matchup of Bieber and Gilbert.......Guardians have hit less well against lefties though......I would imagine the Guardians are favored with Bieber on the hill.

They are but I took the M's....

AL playoffs look pretty set. Division winners looking like stros, yankees, and guardians with yanka/stros getting the bye. Wildcard teams looking like Jays,Rays, and Mariners

I hope so......

8 games in September against the Twins though. The Guardians have had like 3-4 incredible comebacks vs. the Twins but have mostly been outplayed by them.

A young team is a double edged sword- I can see them playing with no pressure since there were no expectations- or now that they are the favorite- getting tight. They have had a few streaks this year where the bottom fell out- 5, 7 game losing streaks, losing 9 of 12....

I just hope they avoid getting tight and a protracted losing streak.

M's are dangerous. Haniger has been excellent since he came back. Julio Rodriguez is back in the lineup and getting back in a rhythm. Winker is showing signs of coming out of his season long slump.

Should be a good matchup. One guy to watch on the Guardians is Oscar Gonzalez. He has been swinging a very good bat lately. I am hoping he can establish himself as another one of the young building block guys. He is def. fringy right now.

Accept it.

Small potatoes bet.

Do you guys ever go to Quaker Steak in Valley View?

On the way home from work downtown tomorrow, I am going to stop and get a bunch of wings and go to my buddy's for some poker.

Think we are going: Buckeye BBQ, Arizona Ranch, Louisiana Lickers.

Pretty pumped.

Not often but have been a couple times. Favorite is the Louisiana Lickers. Enjoy.

Tried it the first time in sharon, PA before they opened here.

Myles garrett would have a major beef then. Because the commentary wasn't "Hey this can't happen on primetime" it was "he could've killed him" etc.

Except, there is an NFL rule.....teams handle discipline of their players in practice.....

Are you saying the NFL should overrule that?

I mean, I get why they don't want to make it so league can suspend for what happens in practice as I'm sure there are suspendable offenses that happen a lot. But maybe they need to draw a line somewhere. I mean, if Cinci wanted to retaliate and break someone's leg later would that be allowed too?

I do think as mentioned maybe a line needs to be drawn somewhere. As I've heard others say if Donald did what he did to someone on the street, in a store, in a game, etc the PCP has him suspended. Pretty much anywhere other than on a practice field.

Would it be OK if a Bengal DE retaliated and broke stafford's leg?

It's funny hearing people getting wound up about the Myles incident and saying he should be kicked out of the league and now, "ohh it's practice the league can't do anything so they won't". They definitely CAN if they think it's the right move. There is absolutely no difference. If he isn't suspended by the NFL, Goodell needs to be fired. This guy has mishandled so many situations starting with the owners.

I don't see the difference between on the field, practice or at some bar. Assault is assault. Garrett made a big mistake and he paid for it, Donald should get the exact same punishment.

The Bengals started the brawl yesterday.

Prime time on national TV is a lot different than a skirmish in practice.

There are lots of rules and the NFL can do whatever they deem is necessary. Practice or game, "he could have killed the player". Same shit, different day.

Give all players involved a hefty fine and move on.
