WTF is up with those Red Sox unis? Did they randomly spin a color wheel?

Seems really odd for a team named after a color to not include that color anywhere.

I agree but see above why

His college teammates loved him, don't think it will be an issue.

Apparently every NFL team that spoke to him was impressed as well. All of that info re: what his teammates and NFL teams thought of him is out there, but people love their hawt takes.

Emotions and nail polish, oh my!

I mean, if he wasn't your guy you'd be capping on the nail polish a little.

But Aaron Rodgers is weird as fuck and he has done well

How is he my guy? I'm a Syracuse fan.

Figured you were a LA booster all the way, I retract. But still, nail polish

My LA fandom started with my father's love for the Dodgers (originally a NY team). I caught on with the Lakers as a kid watching Magic come into the league and the Rams from watching their first super bowl run.

I do still root for the local Bills, Syracuse Orange, and the Baltimore Orioles (Rochester was their AAA affiliate all through my youth).

Would be cool to see them before the draft as seems we usually get his info from you after (maybe I am wrong?).

Yes, you are wrong on that.

 

[tlance]

Interesting.....Have heard a few so-called experts (or at least analysts) say if were them they'd feel more confident risking a high pick on him over Caleb.

so pretty much no insight on anyone else, it seems, other than no red flags and to say he likes someone more than Caleb?

No, he had more to say than that.

But I am also not going to say too much about it publicly beyond the very generic.

No obvious bust potential out of the top guys.

And to be clear, he did NOT say Daniels better than Caleb. Caleb didn’t participate in everything he needed to do for my buddy to get all the data on him this time.

McCarthy also looks good. Don’t think he has the talent to be special, but he is gritty and has the intangibles to make the most of the talent he does have.

Could be a really good value pick for somebody who misses on the top options.

This is crazy....

Impressive at first glance, but it likely also means the Cardinals threw a lot of interceptions trying to get the ball to Fitz. That would be the way to create tackle opportunities in his vicinity.

Yeah tlance shares some of the cool generic insights before the draft every year

And despite it being generic like he says, it’s still

1) very interesting; and
2) much appreciated

 

[The Q]

Basketball is the hardest because the sport rarely stops. Football has a play and you mostly just follow the ball after the ball is snapped.

Baseball is clearly the easiest and it's not even close. The home ump should be automated.

I can definitely see bball being tougher as just like football there are a lot of people to watch and they are often moving very fast. also like football you can probably call a foul nearly every time down court (like you could call a hold in football on every play).

How anyone could think baseball is the toughest is kooky talk.

I never said it was the hardest

I did state the statistical fact bray they get far more of their calls right than any of their peers

Well yea?

Why wouldn't they

so he pretty much offered nothing. Got it.

Cannot say I recall but if I missed it so be it.

Did see what was offered before this draft and was pretty much nothing of substance.

If that was all you said, my bad......but why wouldn't they be right more since it's so much easier to officiate?
