    Let's talk about Michael Pineda

    How do off days factor in? It's a 10 game suspension, not 10 days.  Granted 10 games just means he misses 1 start and the next is pushed back one additional game.  I don't think off days matter other than ability to move other pitchers around to accommodate.

    2013-2014 Syracuse Basketball: Same Zone, New Conference

    Yep, Gus is still at the Varsity, or was as of about a year ago anyway.   We used to make up stupid names just to hear him call them over the loudspeaker.  "Buttnose, your wings are ready, Buttnose."   Ali Baba's food truck was always a late night favorite outside of Sadler.  Eventually I did...

    2013-2014 Syracuse Basketball: Same Zone, New Conference

      It's been incredible!  But their average margin of victory in the ACC is 9.1 and that includes two blowouts (20 and 12 points) against a terrible VT team.  The 11.9 includes the likes of Cornell, Fordham, Colgate, Binghamton, and High Point.  Plus they almost blew one against St. Francis.  In...

    How many are we supposed to vote for here?   Edit:   I decided to vote for 6.  They were all fairly close in my mind and then it was a big gap to 7.

    It would be great but Cooney seems to be so streaky, I'm not sure they're ever going to put it all together for any appreciable stretch of games.  Also they have that tendency to play to the level of their competition.  Makes for some exciting games, but I'm not sure how long they can keep it...

      I'm going to third this.  Don't think it can be beat.

    2014 NFL Rules & Other Changes

      Well, I think you could say possession is lost but may be regained in conformance with the previous possession if recovered by the fumbling team. Not that big of a tweak, IMO.  You certainly can't reward the offense with a new set of downs on every recovered fumble.

      No, not unless the recovery results in a first down.

    Yes, I'm aware.  Obviously I want them to lose possession.

    You are penalizing the team that lost it.  They don't get it back unless they recover it.  Other team gets rewarded by default (they likely caused the fumble).

    2014 NFL Rules & Other Changes

      See, I'd change this one the other way.  Any fumble out of bounds, the opposing team gets the ball where it went out (through the endzone remains a touchback and is now consistent).  I think possession should be completely lost once the fumble occurs and only regained by successfully...

    Aaron Hernandez charged with 1st degree murder; released by Patriots

                Vinny Gambini: I object to this witness being called at this time. We've been given no prior notice he'd testify. No discovery of any tests he's conducted or reports he's prepared. And as the court is aware, the defense is entitled to advance notice of any witness who will testify...

    Brady/Manning XV: AFC Championship Game

    A playoff game can't end in a tie, so yeah double, triple, whatever it takes.
