That's not good. Don't know anything about him personally.

The story is that his brother and father transferred money out of his business account into their own accounts. They were caught and were supposed to start repaying monthly in September but have yet to make a payment.

24 for 140 say otherwise

The concept of stopping him isn't difficult, but the execution something different altogether as he bulldozes you past the sticks. The real problem the threat of Lamar pulling the ball back as you load up in the middle to stop Henry.

 

[shopson67]

Was talking football with a kid the other day. He asked me if I would rather try to tackle Derrick Henry, or get tackled by Ray Lewis.

Pretty easy decision.

Give me Henry.

Because I can always just get out the way before he runs me over. Ray Lewis coming at me is going to be painful no matter what.

Khalil looks like he was taking my approach on that play. Business decision.

Plus, Ray may have his knife on him.

Dodgers sign Blake Snell 5 years, $182M

What?

How is 5 more attractive than 1?

Makes no sense.

Is he saying that just because the projected 4 seed is weak while 1 potentially plays Georgia?

That is a seeding problem, not a format problem.

This was expected, up until now it’s all been about not getting into the playoff. Now people will bitch that others have it better. Just what people do.

It makes a lot of sense actually

5 seed gets Boise or the big 12 winner while the top seed get a big boy. Not fair

As a top seed you supposed to have easiest path

A potential path to the finals for the top seed as of the current rankings would be Georgia and Ohio state. Why should 1 and 2 face prior to the finals?

Neither went undefeated or they wouldn’t have issues like that, it’s that simple, you are there deal with whatever.

Eh…

Just take that Georgia team and make them the 7 seed.

Then it is all better.

Doesn’t matter about Georgia. Whoever the top seed play is going to be much better than the team the 5 seed is playing and that’s a problem. 5 seed shouldn’t have an easier matchup than the top 3 seeeds

Sure.

But the conference champs also should get the first round bye because they don’t play equal schedules.

Only solution is go to 16 and literally just seed them NCAA style.

If the top 6 are all Big 10 and SEC then so be it.

I have no issue with the conference champs getting a bye. I do think it should be reseeded after round 1 though to make sure the top seed is facing the lowest seeded team

Agree. I think part of the problem is that there's a pretty lucrative cottage industry around brackets and "bracketology" that would get a whole lot more complicated.

Plus everyone just needs to chill and think back to even before the bcs and how far things have came. Just enjoy it.

Only problem there is if the chalk holds, you still have the same issue.

This.

If number 1 loses to 8 then they don’t deserve to win the title.

Yup and they would have done it with the advantage of a bye week. Without the bye week in an 8 team playoff that’s the matchup anyway.

You’re not that silly to think Georgia is actually the 8th best team

Oh damn.
