    I haven't seen it, but I seriously don't get the appeal.

    It has very little to do with Tigers. Let’s just say that.

    Lifting, walking and catching up on some Netflix. Holy shit...when the phrase "you know when you drive past that car crash and you don't want to look at the carnage but you do out of morbid curiosity?" was created, it must have known Tiger King would eventually be televised.

    Disagree. I could just turn on 20/20 to see that. Hype doesnt equal the quality. lol

    Missing 1....he’s an announcer and has been a long time

    won 25 in 1980

    Stoney. Living in Chicago, probably should’ve gotten that.

    Bob Welch won a ton with the late 80's early 90's A's
    Ron Guidry went 27-3 or some ridiculous record with the Yankees in the late 70's.

    These are two of my guesses. I can't remember any modern era pitcher winning that many.

    Bob Welch! That’s the guy I was thinking of. He was Trivia in a Tribe game about 25 wins, just randomly popped into my head during this trivia.

  • Oh I know one. The dude that died a few years back for Oakland. Forget his name though. 
     

    My guess is some guys in the 70s got it, but I’m almost positive JV and Pedro never did. Same with Randy, so I doubt anyone from the 90s on has done it.

  • O-Trap, just got an email from our loan provider. They are accruing interest a month at a time for us. If we were to miss this month, we get interest tacked on moving forward. But if we miss a second month, the interest tacked on is only the amount we would’ve missed had we been in time last month. Basically taking each missed payment individually and tracking it as an up to date loan going in, which is nice. And no late fees.

  • Dogs are huge winners. I’ve seen dogs being walked 3x a day in our neighborhood that at I didn’t even know the owners had.

  • Pretty sure Credit Cards, Mortgage and the like are all granting waivers if you so choose. Not sure if it will cost extra on the back end or not though. Never looked into it since we have plenty to survive this even if we had no income.

    I don't know who needs to know this (haven't caught up with all the posts), but it is very common in Asian cultures to wear masks, especially when they are sick.  It's a common courtesy in Asian countries and honestly after traveling to Vietnam and Japan I kinda wish most countries adopted it.  It drives me crazy when people are sick coughing up a lung and don't cover their mouths.  

    I mentioned this a few posts back as well. But, America gonna assume.

  • 2 walks a day, if it’s nice enough out, around the neighborhood. Other than that, wife and I alternate going to the grocery 1x a week. And I pick up food (curbside pickup, never leave car) two times a week to support our favorite restaurants. I’m bored as fuck, but too many stories of people with weakened immune systems (which I have due my back disease) going on ventilators and induced comas.

  • I’m thinking sometime in June, so put July 1. But that’s just most businesses back open. I fully expect the social distancing precautions to last into July, just think it becomes a bit more lax as I expect the curve to be on the downside.

    Burrow is great, but he’s not a sure thing (no one is). He had one great year in college and practically that entire offense is going to the NFL, and the passing game coordinator wasn’t there his junior year when he looked pedestrian. 
    If the Bengals could trade back to 5, get an Okudah at 5, a WR at 18, and an OT at 26 (getting all 3 of those picks from the dolphins), and then sign cam newton, how do they pass that up? 

    If this was the Browns, I feel you’d be posting the opposite, have to take the QB. Nothing else matters until then.

    If a team like Miami is willing to throw 3 or 4 1st rounders my way I'd gladly pass on Burrow. He's good, but I don't think he's THAT good.

    Take it from the Browns...don’t pass up on the top QB. You’ll look foolish for years.

    That said, it's no longer as crucial to have a HOF-level QB to win a SB.  So there probably is an actual price for Burrow in today's league, where 10-15 years there's not a remotely realistic offer you'd take for the rights to a guy like that.

    Which QB the last 15ish years says this is true?

    • Brady
    • Mahomes
    • Wilson
    • Manning
    • Manning
    • Roethlisberger
    • Flacco
    • Foles
    • Rodgers
    • Brees

    I count 2. You’ve always been able to get it done without a HOFer at QB. Brad Johnson, Dilfer SNF maybe a few others. But if anything, it was more prevalent before the last 15 years.

    Well, I suppose I should be happy because I think the 5 times PIT missed the playoffs the last 12 years or whatever they would have been the 7th seed.

    I don't like the competitive balance of 1 bye.  But I think the advantage comes mostly from one less game facing elimination, and one more week to rest and get healthy.  The rust definitely shows, though, and has caught more than a few teams.

    I'm sure before long they eventually go to 8 teams, and then you've really marginalized the regular season.  Becomes a much tougher decision to play a guy who's hurt when it only potentially affects seeding and not making the post-season.

    The last like 7 SB winners had a bye. It doesn’t bite anyone outside of occasional randomness. It’s a huge advantage. I would venture more teams with a bye have won the SB than have lost their first game.
