IMO it was good because it was short. Ride the Eminem energy into Seven Nation Army and go out on a high note.

Just like against the Eagles, it’s a horrible call that won’t matter because the Lions are playing a vastly superior team.

Why do you think Markkanen isn't a fit? I agree with some of the other stuff, I'm not sure it's worth giving up assets and paying him $200M over the next 4 years, but a 7-footer who can score from all over seems like a good fit to me. You know the NBA and the Pistons better than I do though so...

Roster Resource lists the Angels' projected rotation as Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Soriano, Reid Detmers, Grayson Rodriguez and Caden Dana. An impressive collection of talent that hasn't accomplished much in MLB for various reasons. They hired Mike Maddux away from the Rangers to be their pitching...

Lions have some offensive line issues and Goff’s immobility is a problem when teams get pressure, those things cost them against the Vikings a couple weeks ago. But they still scored 24 in that game and put 44 on Washington in between. Still decent up front and loaded with playmakers. Eagles...

The call was really bad, but we weren’t robbed of anything except a couple more hurries and sacks.

It’s far beyond over. They could put 60 minutes back on the clock and the Lions wouldn’t get to 16 points.

We might have set a precedent on rage quitting a couple years ago, I don’t really remember :oldunsure: Discord is here https://discord.gg/PkyDZ9Qd I sent an email invite through Fantrax but now it says there are 13 spots in the league so I maybe should just leave these things to @Eephus

Don’t think they were actually going to snap it there if the Vikings didn’t jump. But that’s part of the value of going for it so often. Defense has to be ready for a snap even when they’re just trying to draw them off.

The WAR thing is interesting. Being restricted to DH hurts the offensive WAR somewhat. Theoretically he can make that back and then some through pitching, but he has to stay healthy to do it. I'm guessing he could've been a plus-glove CF if he never bothered with pitching, and he might have...

A few other players have tried recently but they usually decide to focus on one or the other pretty early on in the minors. Hunter Greene and Masyn Winn were a couple notables. There’s a Japanese teenager in the A’s system named Shotaro Morii trying to be the next Ohtani but the early returns...

Skubal I get, but Jalen Duren isn't close to good enough to ditch a team over.

The Braves traded for Matt Olson and gave him 8/168 before Freeman signed with the Dodgers. They weren’t exactly being cheapskates there.

Shine for me. I saw Collective Soul in 2005 in my hometown of about 10K. I was really excited at first, but I quickly realized this wasn't so much a top-shelf concert in my backyard as it was a sad look into how fleeting musical success can be. They closed with Shine and it was awesome, but...

The one good healthy DB the Lions had left. A suspension for him could cost them a game.
