    Let's Talk About MLBTV

    I just did the slickdeals thing for the first time. Offered $10 amazon gift card, asked for an email address in any PMs, and had multiple offers within minutes. Picked the guy with the longest track record at slick deals. I ran into some issues when the link he sent me went to a 404 and pasting...

    Potential new NFL rules

    It doesn't. Way better than the current kickoff. Not as good as 1990s NFL kickoffs, but that ship seems to have sailed. Edit: To me, what just feels wrong about it is the way the players are aligned away from the ball. Just violates a basic tenant of what football is, imo. But that's probably...

    Potential new NFL rules

    Belichick got out just in time. I can't believe that's now an NFL rule. Unbelievable. Not necessarily complaining; just pretty surreal. One thing that came up in the XFL Championship: after a two-point conversion, DC incurred an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. That backed up the kicker 15...

    Potential new NFL rules

    This is the old XFL kickoff rule, which the now-UFL is not using in 2024. (Basically sounds like the USFL guys hated it and this was part of the compromise for the merger.) Here's the two touchdowns from 2020: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eChnUrXXV9s I like it well enough -- it's...

    2004 WS Celebration

    lol I was going to say they should have picked the game after the trade deadline to honor the 04 team.

    Chiefs demand half a billion

    I wonder if Kansas would have any appetite to get them to move across the river?

    #24 Dayton loses; A-10's next highest ranked team by NET is St. Bonaventure at 74. That probably pops someone's bubble.

    https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39732645/sources-all-fbs-conferences-expected-agree-next-cfp-contract Pretty crazy that eight conferences are on board with being classified as second and third tier citizens, but just shows how much power the Big 10 and SEC are wielding. Also...

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Would it? Does exit velocity go up as pitch velocity goes down?

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    The way to fix this is to limit substitutions/active roster size. Just as an exercise, imagine that you weren't allowed any substitutions. When your starting pitcher gets tired, he has to go play the field and your right fielder or whatever has to pitch. What do we think the average velocity...
