Ending divisions makes all kind of sense. Think that's only a thing for FB and at the moment, the two divisions are hilariously unbalanced with OSU, Michigan and PSU in one division and the other division basically hoping that Wisconsin is good year after year and someone like Minnesota, Northwestern or Purdue can pull off good seasons here and there. And with the conference expanding into SoCal, I'd guess most teams don't want a situation where they have one or two road trips there every year or every other year. No divisions means you'll probably play UCLA and USC once every two years on average with half of those games being at home, which would logically mean a total of two long-ass road trips every four years.

You still have the potential problem that a team could finish #2 in the conference because of an easy schedule, since there are many teams that you don't play. Maybe #3 is the better team but had the harder schedule. There is no great way to do these big conferences.

It seems like we start off the season every year under Tito, and he figures it out. We are in a terrible division, have a watered down playoff system, and are only 3.5 games out in spite of playing terrible baseball. I'm not throwing in the towel yet. With that said, I would like to see them try to get a bat.

So in this DH the Indians are facing 2 starting pitchers that total 449 career wins and 6432 career strikeouts. Gotta be a record and also they are 1 and 2 in active strikeouts….almost exactly the same total. 3213 and 3219

Combined 6 Cy Young Awards and 15x top 5

I heard that it was the first time that both pitchers of a doubleheader had 3 or more Cy Young Awards.


I would guess that the most combined wins of starting pitchers in a doubleheader is Cy Young and somebody.

I forget the rules for years of major league service, but that could be a reason to wait on bringing up Naylor.

Meh. Mariners will prove to be very good. So really, it’s 10/18.


Maybe or maybe not on the Mariners season, but they have been a bad team up to this point in the season.

Guardians suck right now. But still .500.

I will post the Marlins thread once this abomination of a series is over Vs Tigers.

I will also be in Cleveland Friday night for the game, but probably leaving early for a bad spot and Cavs.

Still .500, but 15 of the 18 games have been against teams with a losing record. Thankfully our division sucks.

Tribe is on pace to go 108-54. Karinchak is on pace to go 0-54.

Top OL when healthy. But they need some depth added.

Need better play out of the tackles too.

Why ban things? Do you not trust students? The kids will be alright.

Each subject, grade level, and course have standards that are supposed to be taught. If a teacher is not teaching all of those standards or teaching things outside of those standards, he/she is not honoring their contract. A teacher can't randomly decide what to teach. If a teacher is doing that, appropriate steps should be followed.

Maybe I am out of touch -- but I dont see a single player passing on a chance for a Natty. Even if it is a slim chance their team wins 3 in a row.

I think that this used to be the case, but not anymore. Many of today's players will put potential money before their teammates.

Bowl games not part of the CFP playoff have become absolutely pointless.  They are like watching spring intrasquad scrimmages.

I think that they are too spread out now too. I'm not going to watch some bad game on a random Wednesday night. If they put most of them back on new years, I will probably at least flip through the games on the holiday.

So because Haslam has a woody for his Tennessee Volunteers, he is pushing Stefanski to bring in a specialist to help run the Air Raid type offense.

That sounds about right. Let's try to find more ways to make the best running back in football useless.

How do you not score in the 2nd half? I missed it, but that’s gotta be on someone. 

We had 2 TD passes dropped on the last drive, but the bigger issue is that stefanski refuses to stick with the running game.

Sorry guys but I'm now in HEAVY favor of a retractable dome in case of games like this. Watson's arm strength doesn't get it in these high wind games.

Unfortunately, I think that Stefanki is teflon and won't be going anywhere. After some of the play calls on those last two drives, he should've put himself on the hot seat.

He gets outcoached in the second half every week. He can't make adjustments.

Al Bundy replied to "Cleveland Browns 2022 Season Thread" at 03:57 pm

Stefanski sucks. How can he not see to keep running the ball all day?

We gambled our future on a QB who is currently a project who you hope develops at this point in time.

Myles Garrett took the day off.

Not great

They shouldn't even have verbal commitments. They are meaningless.
