    Round 6 • Pick 33 (210) • WR Demario Douglas

    Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me. I’m a fan of him in So Fine, although I think roughly half the people in the world who have seen it are either in my family or watched it with my family.

    Round 6 • Pick 33 (210) • WR Demario Douglas

    Indeed! (My avatar doesn’t come up too often in discussions. 8-))

    SoSH Golf, 2022

    As someone who just started reading this thread (have a couple times in the past as well)— definitely not, that was a fun read. Liked that I couldn’t guess how it was going to turn out…

    AFC playoff chase 2021

    I really want the Chargers/Raiders “kneel down game” to guarantee they both get in (because screw the NFL…)— but I guess it won’t happen for a few reasons. One, not angering Goodell. But also because the Raiders go to Cincy with a win and KC with a tie.

    AFC playoff chase 2021

    I saw conflicting posts on which is the "most prime" slot--i.e. Sun 4:40, Sat 8:15, or Sun 8:15 -- and I just guessed at Sun 4:40. I do agree the Cowboys get a night slot if that's the more coveted one. So in that case, in my scenario just swap the 4:40 and 8:15 games on Sunday (and leave the...

    AFC playoff chase 2021

    Yes, you're correct. I.e. they can't guarantee that the Monday winner won't play a Saturday winner in the division round, unless on Saturday they avoid playing any games from the same conference as the Monday game. Before the expansion to add a third wild card in each conference, there is some...

    AFC playoff chase 2021

    I think the only way BAL can get in is to get into a 3-way tiebreaker at 9-8 that involves only IND and LAC (and that requires about 5 different things to happen, so it's very unlikely) -- because BAL beat both IND and LAC head-to-head. Looks like Baltimore loses every other kind of tiebreaker...

    AFC playoff chase 2021

    Pretty sure that's true, and I agree. Seems like the NFL could get a little nervous if the Jags win and this is even possible going into the LV/LAC Sunday night game. I imagine LV and LAC would get a subtle (or not-so-subtle) call from the league office saying that while they'd both make the...

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    I’ve been remarking to a friend all season about the bad (by yards lost) sacks Mac seems to take pretty regularly. My (entirely anecdotal) impression has been that it’s not so much because he’s worried about throwing the ball away and making a mistake— but that he isn’t very good yet at...

    AFC playoff chase 2021

    Perhaps I'm overly optimistic, but my fear is more that a loss to Miami in week 18 is what ends up costing us the #1 seed. But your version would certainly suck a whole lot more. Less so if Miami wouldn't actually get into the playoffs by beating us (just knock us out).

    SHOWDOWN ON MNF: Pats vs. Bills pregame thread

    I think most of us wouldn't take the first offer (likely playoffs, unlikely home game(s)), but but would jump at the second one (division basically locked up, even a chance at the #1 seed). What if the offer was the second one (sweep Bills, lose to Indy), and a guarantee that we would not get...

    2020 Golf Thread

    Just want to second this advice. At least in part because you're trying to get under the ball, it's also likely that you're making too much contract with the grass before the ball when hitting out of the rough (whereas on the fairway with no grass right behind the ball you would just hit the...

    I guess they could have in theory (well, the owners could have--it's not a members-owned course), but I can imagine some members may have objected at an influx of new faces during social distancing period or something like that. Also, maybe it wouldn't have seemed like a purely nice gesture to...

    2020 Golf Thread

    So while golf is the perfect social distancing activity, caddying is not. At my club in NY no caddies so far this season (as I assume everywhere else, at least in this part of the country). Tough on the caddies, as I'm not sure what fraction of them can successfully get unemployment benefits...

    2020 Golf Thread

    I don't really had the sweat and wipe in eyes problems. I do dislike greasy hands while trying to grip a club though, so I try to put it on where there's a sink so I can wash my hands afterward. In the current world order, I've resorted to my fallback method, which is to rub my palms on the...

    2020 Golf Thread

    It appears that New York golf courses (at least private ones) are allowed to reopen. I hazard that roughly half will choose to do so at this point. Unsurprisingly, a lot of people have been lobbying the state for this. Perhaps not quite fair for this to be the first activity to reopen--and...

    Great At-Bats, v2

    Yes, it was, in 2004. I was watching an absurd amount of baseball back then, and for some reason had flipped to this game a few minutes before that AB started. It was pretty epic, but in much more of a i-can't-believe-it's-alex-cora-doing-this kind of way. I remember thinking that the length of...
