Or…

What you claimed to be fact isn’t.

I cant argue with you all day. I'm not pasta or DT

With Pasta it’s more correction than argument

Sounds good.

Glad you are willing to take the L here.

I didn't lose though

 

[tlance]

I didn't lose though

You have no data

And I thought you weren’t here to argue all day?

So yeah. You lost.

Thinking more on that, it might just be defenses playing more scared, which is unfortunate lol

Or it’s having the desired effect of protecting QBs. It seems this year no QBs had significant injuries for a nice change of pace

Why? Is that not something that every team can do?

If the player and his agent agree to it...what's the problem?

Additionally, they didn't defer any money for Sasaki. He's only 23 and has less than 6 years of service time, so he was considered an amateur international free agent. Because of that he was only eligible for a minor league deal with a signing bonus of international bonus pool money. The Dodgers had the least amount of international pool money available of any MLB team.

So, Sasaki chose the Dodgers despite that...perhaps because they have been scouting him for years, making several trips to Japan and he liked their reputation for being great and for how they have developed their players, especially pitchers.

Yeah not really sure how this can be fixed as was not really money as reason he went to LA. If the guy just wants to be in LA for whatever reason what can be done?

 

[dtgold88]

That's not true. First of all, every sport is regional to some degree and you get lower ratings in championships just about any time it involves 2 smaller market teams because the fans in bigger markets are less likely to watch.

That's why when asked what his dream championship series was...David Stern facetiously said Lakers vs Lakers.

I doubt a Charlotte vs. New Orleans NBA Championship series would be a ratings bonanza for the NBA.

I hope we find out what OKC vs. Cleveland brings as far as ratings.

and I wont care what it is.

Here is what sets baseball apart to this day. They have by far the strongest union in professional sports, some say it’s amongst the strongest unions in the world. Things will have to get bad enough for the billionaire owners to quit spending money to change that.

Think the bigger issue here is the owners cannot agree among themselves. If they all wanted a cap and/or floor I think it would get done.

 

[dtgold88]

Someone needs to lay his ass out. He always does that dumb shit to try and draw a personal foul. Give him something to really hit the ground for

This is Brunson as a QB?

 

[dtgold88]

That sounds like some Jets stat, guess it was the Texans fault

haha was gonna say much prefer seeing these posts and not being attributed to my team...but Jets works too.

 

[dtgold88]

We don’t know yet but he literally has everything you want in a QB and ice in his veins

Kid looks amazing.

But so did RG3. Let's see him repeat it. I don't say this to be critical either. Maybe he will. But guessing even Washington fans would like to see him repeat it.

@tlance

Congrats on another playoff win.

When the season started could you have imagined this?

 

[dtgold88]

Not saying Detroit played well.

But the Commanders went and took that one. They deserve all the credit.

Unbelievable.

I think because Campbell is a guy many love your team will get a ton of credit. Even a lot of blame the coach guys don't go after Campbell (not to say they should).

Your team deserves a ton of credit.

 

[dtgold88]

This narrative tends to be out there for all the teams that win on the level of the Chiefs, Patriots, Warriors, etc.

Doesn’t make them true.

Just watch, in 4 years people will be on here complaining about all the calls OKC gets.

Can it be the Cavs instead?

Never in a million years.

I was very high on Daniels. I thought the playoffs were a possibility, but that was a lot because the schedule was pretty manageable.

Winning 1 playoff game let alone 2 is wild.

I would have been happy with 8-9 as long as Daniels showed promise.

 

[tlance]

I would be very surprised at that

Sorry.

OKC looks like the Warriors did at the start of their run. Better honestly.

I’m afraid you would hate who I think the Cavs compare closest to today.

 

[dtgold88]

I cant argue with you all day. I'm not pasta or DT

sure aren't.....I would rarely have made a comment like you did and if I had and been proven wrong as you have I'd have simply owned it.

I don't really disagree....plus with all their assets.

as to your last comment? I'll guess Atlanta (team that won 60+ with 4 all stars back when Lebron was here)?
