Quote:...They were willing to give it back to team [sic] in exchange for tickets to a playoff game but James also warned they have “connections where we could have reached out to other sources.”
Though in an interview with the Boston Globe, the owner of the company that made the banner accused the guys of stealing it. Tony Lafuente of Flagraphics at first told the Globe he was unsure whether the banner “fell off the truck, or if it walked off the truck” before saying more directly, “these guys stole my banner.”

Wow, crazy week in the NFL. The following teams would have covered a 7-point pleaser (according to the lines I have here from a different card) --
Panthers
Saints
Ravens
Giants
Redskins
Bills (easily)
Seahawks
Lions (easily)
A "pleaser" is the inverse of a teaser, where instead of getting paid worse odds but getting more points, you get paid better odds but you give up extra points. I believe an 8-leg pleaser at William Hill pays 6000-for-1. A 3 leg parlay pays 25-for-1 (or 26-for-1?), at least as of last season when I had bet a few of them, not sure if changed.

I'm not really a huge fan of any team -- as in, I'm not going to go out of my way to watch a game because of some team I like. But there are certain teams I would rather see win.
NBA - Basketball is legitimately awful. I wish it was all scratched entirely. Some people root for a team, others root against a certain team. I root against every team.
MLB - Yankees
NFL - Chargers and Colts
NHL - LV Golden Knights (duh)
Soccer - Uhh.....wtf? This is America, git with the times.
NCAACP - Sooners
My "anti-team" list, teams I would rather see lose:
NBA - As mentioned above, every team.
MLB - Dodgers, Brewers, Blue Jays, Rockies, D-bags
NFL - Giants, 49ers, Patriots, and Steelers (just because so many people like the Steelers, I therefore dislike them).
NHL - Canadiens, Canucks, Maple Leafs, probably Oilers, probably Flames, Senators, and absolutely Jets (PokerGrindr likes them, IIRC).
Soccer - I don't think I could name a single team, other than the word "Manchester", and I'm not even sure if that's the name of a team or what.
NCAACP - idk

My comment was more facetious or flippant and not as something that should be taken seriously. I still can't stand it, regardless. I'll give a quick summary in spoiler below.
Beethoven is awesome. I don't even know how many times I've listened to Beethoven's 9'th.
- It's incredibly boring. The most "interesting" thing that happens is someone does a slam dunk, steals the ball and has a break away, or something along those lines. The only thing game changing that happens is either going to be an injury or something at the very last second of the game.
- Too much scoring. In most other sports, a single great play can be game-changing. In basketball, the biggest thing is stealing the ball and scoring an extra 2 points....which is basically nothing, considering each team will get around 100 points in a game. An interception run back for a touchdown can be huge in football. A homerun in baseball is likely going to be quite important and has more impact than the "best play" in basketball. Scoring an extra goal in hockey is huge.
- Any close game ends up going into a stage where they just keep fouling each other nonstop. It makes the last 2 minutes of a game seem like an hour. The closest comparison I can think of is in football, where if the winning team is on offense, they just down the ball to run out the clock (even though it's the opposite of unnecessarily prolonging the game's end, as it speeds it up).
- Of course the NBA players are athletic and top of their class, but there are far more athletic plays in football. Quarterbacks scrambling, one handed catches, weaving in and out of defensive players while juking them, dragging their toes to stay in bounds after a catch, incredibly long field goals, defensive goal line stands, etc.
- Compared to other sports, basketball is more one dimensional. Yes, there are trick plays, sometimes loopholes in the rules are exploited, and that kind of thing. But you see much more depth to sports like football and baseball where there are more complex plays and strategies.
- The one thing positive I'll say about basketball is that due to so much scoring, it lowers the variance on the game, and makes it more likely that the better team is going to win. EG: No single play is going to have a significant impact on the game, barring injury or something last second.

This game brought back bad memories for me. Arkansas vs ole miss. 2001 or 2002. Over under was something like 60 and I had the under on the 10th leg of a parlay card. They go to overtime tied at something in the teens. They played something like 5 overtimes and nearly doubled the over and I lost my large parlay over it. To make matters worse there was a short fg missed in one of the early overtimes.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

That's the issue for me. I enjoy watching some of the better players. However the entire regular season and much of the playoffs are basically just exhibition games, with no significance whatsoever, unless you are rooting for your team to lose for a higher draft pick.
I don't understand how people are like, Orlando Magic fans. Don't get me wrong. I can root for a loser. I'm a Bears fan. But, look what's happening this year. The Bears are good! It's a big surprise and, in a given game, my team can beat anybody. Almost the entire NBA is totally out of the running as we speak, a few weeks into the season. And for next season! And probably, for the season after that.
I bet there are 20 teams in the NBA where the chances of them winning a title in the next two years are maybe 1%. How is that exciting? It's just too static.
Soccer is the same way, but even worse, because instead of your only hope being to draft the next Lebron, your only hope is for your team to be purchased by some evil middle eastern despot or the Russian mob.

Love seeing the trick plays work on the big stage. I'm a Boise State fan and they pulled off this same play to force overtime against the Sooners in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl (well they only pitched it once, but additional pitches were in the playbook if needed...they just weren't needed). Plus 2 more trick plays in overtime for a TD and the winning 2 pt conversion. Such a great game...if you're not an OK fan hehe.

when he got into the end zone he accidentally knocked a trumpet player down

It also cost Stanford the chance to play in a bowl game that season. And Elway would finish his college career without ever playing in a bowl game.
Few other interesting facts about that play:
Stanford called a timeout with 8 seconds left and kicked what they thought would be the game winning FG. If they called the timeout with less time on the clock, that kickoff never happens
The Cal player who fielded the kickoff is also the one who scored the TD
A ref threw a flag for interference by the Stanford band for being on the field during a live play. Even if Cal got tackled before scoring , the referee could’ve awarded them a TD for that Stanford penalty

My googling says the cowboys are playing Sunday, not resting. They're getting 7 at home, I think that's crazy. People have to be convinced they will not try winning for this to be true.

Quote: GWAEI am not one to criticize officials but that Steelers game has got to be some of the worst calls that I have never seen. Steelers got robbed of a game and probably of the playoffs. I think all pass interference calls should be reviewable. A 50 yard penalty should be looked at IMO
Game maybe, playoffs they have no one to point the finger at but themselves for how the Bell fiasco ended, banking way too hard that Connor would remain healthy

Exactly. I think Leveon did the right thing, because he couldn't trust the Steelers. It backfired on them and they deserve it.Quote: mcallister3200Game maybe, playoffs they have no one to point the finger at but themselves for how the Bell fiasco ended, banking way too hard that Connor would remain healthy

My orders of sports that I love:
1. College Football
2. NFL
3. NBA
4, PGA
4. College basketball
Worst sport of all MLB. Don’t get me started on this horrible league. I was sitting next to Orel Hershier in a poker game at the Red Rock many years ago telling him how horrible that sport was, he took the criticism well and acknowledged I had valid points. Very nice guy.

the Nuggets (LOL) lead the Western Conference
they are 13-3 at home and 8-7 away
last season they were 31-10 at home and 15-26 away
I don't think I've ever seen a record that extreme even in college basketball
I wrote a poem about them, it's called:
THE DENVER NUGGETS
Where the air is thin
The home team will almost always win
I'm hoping the literary community takes notice and I get nominated for a Robert Frost award......😂

Ok yes maybe not playoffs. Even without bell they should have been fine. Should have easily beaten Oakland and Jacksonville. Nor sure why this team can hang/beat the best teams and lose to terrible teams. Been that way for years. Is that the coaching staff to blame?
I always thought it would be fun to see a class action lawsuit against the NFL or the refs for a game like this. The city, or local businesses can argue that the refs caused the loss and that win puts them out of the playoffs which causes at least 1 missed home playoff game and millions in local revenue.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

got a big kick out of this vid of Ardolis Chapman's 2016 debut with the Cubs - the guy's fastball has been clocked at 𝟏𝟎𝟓 m.p.h. yeah, I know the baseball season is over.
it's fun to see the Cubs fans loving it and the batters who seem way overmatched. in this year he pitched 58 innings and struck out 90. his E.R.A. was 1.55. the guy's a monster talent. in this vid one of his pitches is clocked at 𝟏𝟎𝟑.
