  1. Good lord, their extreme victim complex is astounding and embarrassing (“nobody likes us, we’re always the target, it’s all a big conspiracy against us, blah blah blah”). For a bunch that prides itself on being salt-of-the-earth tough guys, they sure do feel very sorry for themselves and go to asinine, delusional extremes to blame everyone else for their shortcomings. What a bunch of goddamned weenies.
  2. I love Pena, but let’s see him get his OBP north of .300 (really, .330) before comparing him to Correa.
  3. I’ve often considered the possibility that their entire existence (and all it entails) is performance art. It kind of creates a quasi-catch-22 situation: while it is funnier and more entertaining that these are seemingly sincere people and this is how they truly are, the fact that it appears to be reality and not one giant joke also makes me feel worse about the world in general.
  4. It’s fascinating that these hayseeds keep trying to ascribe Texas’s move to the SEC to some sort of shift in attitude about the conference itself, or to “following” A&M there. Texas is going to do whatever is in the best interest of Texas, and makes Texas the most money. It’s tough for them to understand because they assign some sort of bizarre idea of moral value to their school’s athletic conference affiliation. Like they’re in a best friends club or something. We’re going for the money. That’s it. We can still hate the SEC (I intend to). We can still look down on them.
  5. Yeah, though I was thinking that the photo was just Earl and then the Doak Walker award winners from Texas.
  6. Yeah that 98 team was loaded. That was a better team than SD, though probably not by much. I hate short playoff series.
  7. He did, more or less, in the second-to-last sentence. Vince came around about 5-10 years too soon and went to just about the worst situation he could have. I still think he would have done well in Kubiak’s system, and I still think he’d have been at least as good as Lamar Jackson has been if he had been paired with a coach/system that made sense for him. imagine drafting VY and deciding he should be a pocket QB in a traditional offensive system.
  8. Come on Jeremy, we all knew that when you cheat on a test you don’t get a 100, you get like a 92. At least make it seem realistic.
  9. Sure, I don’t care how they allocate the money, I just don’t understand how they value these guys like they do. As everyone has said, it’s not like people are going to make the watch/don’t watch decision based on who is calling games. The product sells itself. Not saying there isn’t value there - they must have some rationale for giving Romo and Brady all that money - just saying I don’t get how they provide that much value. Add it to the really long list of things I don’t get.
  10. I live in NM and buy it every year. I can’t watch D-Backs or Rockies here.
  11. Almost = if Ced were there (RIP).
  12. I just assume Lance will never throw more than 100 IP in a season again.
  13. I’ve heard that Chas is a weirdo (more so than an asshole). That he struggled to read the room when he came up to the big club (did some things rookies shouldn’t be doing). Not sure if that has corrected itself at this point (you’d think it would have), but that was the word early on.
  14. I hear you, but his own team just gave Bogaerts a deal into his 40s. If he performs in ‘23 anything like he did in ‘22, he probably should opt out.
  15. They’re both bulldogs, I believe.
  16. Counterpoint: wouldn’t being gored to death by Bevo be a humane thing, to relieve the misery of a poor dog that is forced to live in that environment, among those people?
  17. It depends entirely on how you view the value of Maldy’s non-offensive play - his defense, how he handles pitchers, calls pitches, etc. While I believe he is good at these things, I have no idea how to quantify it and thus no idea how valuable it really is. But hell, Dusty seems to think there’s something there, and we made no effort to replace him. And people think Yadier Molina and his career 97 wRC+ is a goddamn HOFer. So maybe there’s something to it.
  18. I don’t necessarily disagree, though I’d again say that Elway is right there among the most physically talented (and translating the talent into on-field success). I don’t know how you differentiate them, but they strike me as very similar from a physical talent standpoint.
  19. I guess that was “crying.” But for real, the book has some interesting stuff about sign-stealing strategies from multiple teams. If you’re actually interested it is probably worth reading.
