Hope they can get gold for the first time in over 40 years!
That would be awesome!
Congrats to the women for securing gold. Now hopefully the men can follow suit!
I get the McDonalds updates on my phone but not ESPN - I was noticing there was a growing amount of updates for $2.50 Big Macs in the past week.
Anyway, just my tongue-in-cheek comment to say, a bad season for the young Wizards, and it seemed like they were starting to generate some chemistry...
We clamored for a GM for years, but did we fully understand all of the implications? I was thinking we clamored for a GM to have football expertise making decisions - and it's true.
There is a hidden benefit to it, though.
GMs can be fired, which means resets without changing owners spring new...
bowhunter had an interesting observation; basically that in the future, he hoped AP would help pick the DC by providing metrics on 1st half vs 2nd half performance. Basically, showing that the DC adapted.
I think that's a really subtle, measurable, and frankly great way to evaluate a DC. There...
That's a long streak that was broken.
It's strange it happened THIS year, of all years, where the Dodgers are supposed to be so stacked. Still, congrats to the NATS!
Word was, they were unhappy with early prognostications of doom and gloom for their season. It will be interesting to follow...
For all of the praise our FO gets - and they deserve it! - this experience is shaped around the luck of finding a gem in JD.
The FO seems to be doing a good job of shaping a team around that QB. Which is great - in all of the situations an FO can find itself in, that is one of the easier ones...
Can you list some of the most valuable 5th round draft picks in your database? I do not want picks beyond or before the 5th round - ONLY the 5th round. I want guys who were drafted there, but ends up making at least one Pro Bowl or one 1st-team All Pro in their first 5 years in the league.
Not so much here, but I have heard elsewhere some comments like:
"I wish Jayden would talk a little more to his teammates when he is off the field"
"I love Jayden but I wish he would be more fiery; it is not the same as Wagner's leadership style, which looks more correct to me"
Leadership comes...
I think the worst owner of 2022 was Dan Synder. Luckily that is not an option anymore. So, who is the worst owner going into 2025? Here is a list of teams and NFL owners:
Arizona Cardinals: Michael Bidwill
Atlanta Falcons: Arthur Blank
Baltimore Ravens: Steve Bisciotti
Buffalo Bills: Terry and...
Didn't see this elsewhere, and not seeing this reported much on typical media sites like ESPN. Happened upon it randomly on YouTube. Figured people here would be interested; maybe I missed it somewhere else.
I guess this just happened on Wednesday.
I remember when JKC was footing the bill for Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, it was already in vogue for owners to get their stadiums financed in part or whole by local areas, and to get deals for licensing the name of the field, and all of the stuff that is now par for the course. It still somehow...
All,
It may be delusion, but I finally see the silver lining of the last couple of gut-wrenching games. I know this has been said in past seasons, but it is unfortunately true again. This team needs to lose to get restarted. The only hope that I see for a successful team comes with turnover of...
It actually sounds like a beer I would want to try while watching the Skins play at this point.

I had a long-ish post mostly written out on this topic a couple of years ago, but never got around to polishing it up. It had a metric for dividing out the teams into sets and showed how there is a big bunch of B or B+ teams. In my organization, I think one of they key factors to delineate the...
Schlereth has been known to talk some trash about his time with the Skins, or overplay his time with the Broncos - but on occasion he does let some good stories out about some good effects the Skins had on him.
This is one of those times. Found this a fun read, pretty sure a lot of you will...
