NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

@bksballer89 ww going to hear the name Derek Carr again in New Orleans? I think Rattler has looked good enough.

I hope not lol my only issue with him is he isn't targeting Shaheed but yeah he looks damn good. This is the dream scenario for Saints fans

Carr out supposedly 3-4 weeks and this game is the toughest in that window

VS DEN
AT LAC
AT CAR

Rattler can make sure Carr doesn't start another game for the Saints

Iowa State, TT, and Byu were all afterthoughts

Looking at remaining schedules, great chance Iowa State or Tech is in the conference title game

Im not a believer in Texas Tech but the other 2 yes.

 

[bksballer89]

ND schedule looked weak at the start of the year but A&M ended up being good and big shock is how good Army, Navy, and GA Tech are

 

[bksballer89]

Im not a believer in Texas Tech but the other 2 yes.

Byu got some tough road games remaining. Iowa State schedule isn't bad at all

They can/should be 9-1 with a road game at utah and home to k-state to end the season

Maybe they will surprise but you can set your watch by them losing games they should win.

Olson is so much better than Brady in the booth its ridiculous

Best color commentator right now in the league IMO

 

[msgkings322]

Yeah, I'm definitely not blame the coach guy. But there's a history of Roberts overthinking the pitching and having it bite them in the ass. It's tough with him because, on the one hand...how do you fire a guy who has won his division 11 out of 12 years, is always around 100 wins, has won a World Series and was legit cheated out of a 2nd?

On the other hand, there's been a lot of underachievement by a team whose salary is always at or near the top of the league and much of it, imo, is around how Roberts handles his pitchers.

It's not really underachievement though. It's the randomness of the baseball playoffs. Just like the Maddux/Glavine Braves won their division like 12 times in a row and won one World Series, they didn't nor should they have fired Cox for that.

To be fair he's done it a while, this is Brady just starting. Not saying Brady will ever get there but a little early to compare them.

And Army and Navy don't have the transfer portal wild card

that's why they should have kept him on the A team and brady on the B or C team

You mean like it was too early to kick Olson out of the 1 spot?

 

[msgkings322]

Why, they hate ratings?

Olson should have won 7 Super Bowls if he wanted to keep his spot over Brady

 

[bksballer89]

Why, they hate ratings?

You think people are not going to watch games because Olsen is doing a game over Brady?

So the Lions/Cowboys this afternoon wouldn't get crazy ratings just because of who is in the booth?

 

[bksballer89]

So why did Romo automatically get the #1 spot at CBS? How many superbowls he won?

No, more like I think the casuals and rubes will be more likely to watch to hear Brady, because that's how celebrity/sports worship works. If he's terrible that won't last, that's the gamble.

 

[bksballer89]

People are going to watch the NFL football no matter what. They don't need Brady to help any ratings

There's isn't a TV ratings issue in this sport

 

[msgkings322]

Name recognition, Cowboys, etc. But sure you guys know more about how to sell TV ads than they do

Yeah totally forgot FOX ratings were so bad last year with Olsen on the A team......
