    This sounds reasonable.

    I agree, although I'd be willing to go even farther and say that getting a pass into the playoffs via winning your division should be the ONLY reward you need for doing so and the playoffs should be seeded on actual performance. But the "2+" works, too, as the only time anyone really notices a weak-ass champion hosting a wild card team is when the champ is an 8-8 team that got in because they were the least shitty team in their shitty division and the wild card team has 11+ wins, but was in a division with team that had a great season.

    I'm honestly surprised Garrett hasn't been fired yet.

    If Jerry wasn't a senile drunk, he would be fired about 100 times by now. Now whether that is simply because he's a senile drunk or if it's because being a senile drunk allowed Garrett to get some really incriminating evidence to use as leverage, I'm not sure. But the "senile drunk" part is definitely a factor.

    That whole division needs relegated to the XFL. Four teams and none of them would do better than third in any other division. The fact that one team from it will get to host a first-round playoff game really makes the "division champ > wild card" argument look ludicrous.

    If you can't beat 'em, join 'em....

     

    The guy in front of me in line at the DMV this morning audibly farted, but it didn't stink.  Whatever Trump did to make that happen, I'm grateful.  

    Yeah, I'll one-up that! I took a vacation day today, so I'm thanking Trump for not forcing companies to outlaw employees using their time off! IT'S ALL YOU, BUDDY!!!!!!

    Exactly.  I'm not sure there'd be much in the way of "better" or "worse," regardless of who won, but the debates AND campaign news would be damn good television.

    Considering how Biden's recent response to a question about his age was to say he's not sedentary and then go on to challenge whoever brought it up to a push-up contest and IQ test to prove it, it'd be like two guys staring into a mirror and seeing each other. The winner would be the guy who made the most out-there baseless claim about himself!

  • I only live about 40 minutes from C-bus, but I'm still not much help. I'm kind of, uh, provincial, I guess because I only really go there for work and spend my leisure time hanging with friends in the Marion and Mansfield areas.

  • The Bacot injury definitely hurt Carolina. They had a bit of run right after he went down, but didn't have much of anything in the second half. Still, I'd say Carolina's biggest problem is that if a team has enough presence defensively to not let them get to the hoop and force them to try jumpers, they are in trouble because, man, those dudes reminded me of when I was playing pick-up in college trying to throw up shit. It's one thing to hear the announcers talking about how they're not a good shooting team, but then when you watch airballs and balls barely hitting the rim with regularity, it's kind of jarring.

    You keep doing this to make a point that Obama is not the reason for whatever economic benefit your highlighting.  No one one here has ever suggested he was.  The point made to you is that much of the stuff you highlight had nothing to do with Trump.  Either because it was in the works long before he came along or because presidents possibly don't have as much effect on economic daily activities than you propose.  Instead of challenging these points, you just keep making this same "thanks barack" point sarcastically.  No one said anything about Obama being responsible for any of the stories you highlight.

    Waited in line on Thanksgiving day at 3pm with the local kids at Gamestop.

    Snagged the PS4 Pro, COD bundle for $399. FIFA20...I'm back!

    Ah memories...although when I did it, there was the added benefit of still feeling rough from the previous night, despite it being more like 6 p.m. when I was there last year.

    Don’t see any. Committee can’t put Utah in over OSU, even if Georgia beats LSU and they both go in, 

    Neither can I. Even if OSU would leave next week with a loss, as unlikely as it seems, they have a superior resume than the other 1-loss teams in contention and I don't know that it's remotely close enough to rationalize making a change for any reason other than multiple severe injuries in one game (ie: the sort where the player won't be back by the playoffs) to key personnel.

    Credit where credit is due. You not only gave your five favorites in a particular sport instead of your five favorites on your favorite team(s), but actually gave only four instead of five. Takes skill to botch things up that badly!

  • Looking good so far. Good, a bit drained after yesterday, so it is nice to just kinda blankly sit and watch without all the stress of a close game. Now they just need to keep it that way!

    I drank 4 beers before our later in the day dinner and could drink no more because I was so full. 

    I'm lucky in that my big meal comes around 1 p.m., so I had about 5+ hours to digest it before the drinking part of the day commenced.

    Cowboys wins vs (14-49-1) teams

    Redskins, Giants, Giants, Dolphins, Lions, Eagles

    In other words, Dallas has become the next Matt Stafford/Detroit team. Cleans up against weak teams, shows they're paper tigers whenever anyone good steps on the field with them.

    We are getting old.  This thread was a lot more fun to read 15 years ago...

    It's gone from "Getting drunk AF Wednesday night and going to mom's on Thursday" to "my wife, children and I are travelling to my in-laws for brunch and then we are hosting dinner."

    hahahaha

    Hope you assholes are well.

    I included the possibility of drinking heavily!!!!!

    Sure, 15 years ago, it was a definite instead of a possibility...but IT COULD HAPPEN!!!!!

  • In perhaps the biggest game of the CFB season, tonight Ohio U goes for that all-important sixth win to become bowl-eligible in their final game of the year against hilariously-horrible Akron. Be still, my beating heart.

    Such a huge contest that ESPN isn't even putting it on their TV MACtion deal. Fucker's on ESPN+, lol.

    I’d tend to agree but everyone who follows the organization closely has always said AJ isn’t wired that way. That he just wants to play and doesn’t GAF about how unremarkably fucked up the Bengals are. Plus I think if he went out these last few games and caught some touchdowns and refreshed everyone’s memory about his ability it might help out his next contract. 

    I definitely agree with the last part. He's been out all year and doesn't exactly have the best injury history in terms of what someone would want when looking to break the bank for a top-end WR. So I'd think that every game he can be out there and contributing would help to some degree. I don't think he could afford to do the Jalen Ramsey "I'll have a different issue every week until my team gets the picture!" strategy, at least if he wants to go somewhere where he can win. I COULD see a brain-dead team like Washington do what Washington always does and give him a ton of money to never be healthy and/or not contribute much when around because that is par for the course when it comes to their big signings.
