  1. Either way, watered down fields are not going to be good for the sport. I personally hate to see it. Cant blame the players for taking the money, but I wish they wouldn't. Key question is what happens if LIV goes bust in 3 years. Does the PGA forgive and forget.
  2. Tony Perez HR against Bill Lee's ephus pitch in Game 7 of 1975 World Series.
  3. The Celtics second half has been uglier than a Purdue cheerleader.
  4. Just before the tip of Game 2 of the finals, I think it's important to note that the Pacers sucked this year.
  5. @dgambill, @Sagamore, and @Hoosier51 Next time you guys login, check your IM and let us know if you are in or out for this season
  6. If the Cardinals got screwed, that's a good thing. Right?
  7. Quinn Buckner played 24 minutes a game in '75-'76.
  8. Will TJD and Race embrace that concept? For example, let's assume the 80 minutes at the 4/5 spots are split as follows: TJD - 25 Race - 20 Renault - 20 JG - 15 Do those guys embrace that type of minute distribution for the long term good of the team? Or, are 3 or 4 of them expecting more? That said, I can't fathom TJD only getting 25, but splitting those 80 minutes is definitely going to be a challenge for Woodson, especially if Geronimo does not get any minutes at the 3.
  9. If this is someone's concern, I assure you Tommy Pham is not playing in this league.
  10. I hope he TRIES to score 40 on us.
  11. Profanity is against board rules.
  12. Just wanted to let everyone know they can join even if they are not a regular poster. The only credentials you need are a HSN screen name because that's the identity we play under. I encourage you to give it a try. I think you will enjoy it.
  13. And, the flip side. Lowest Wonderlic scores in NFL history 6 — Vince Young (quarterback) Coming off a National Championship at Texas, expectations were high for Young coming into the league, though some were concerned about his low Wonderlic score. Still, the Titans gambled on him by taking him third overall in the 2006 NFL Draft. The gamble didn't pay off, though. In six seasons, Young threw 46 touchdowns and 51 interceptions. 6 — Frank Gore (running back) Gore's poor Wonderic score might have had a negative impact on his draft stock, as he was selected 65th overall in the third round by the 49ers in 2005. It doesn't look like it ever affected his productivity, though; he's accumulated 15,347 yards and 79 touchdowns in 15 seasons. He currently stands third in all-time rushing yards in NFL history, just 290 yards behind Walter Payton. 6 — Oscar Davenport (quarterback) Davenport was projected to be a late-round prospect with developmental upside in 1999. Then the North Carolina QB scored a 6 on his Wonderlic test and went undrafted, never making it onto an NFL roster. 5 — Ed Prather (safety) Another player who never played a down in the NFL, "Pig" Prather had a bad reputation for blowing coverages, and to NFL GMs, his poor Wonderlic scores seemed to reflect poor decision-making skills on the field as he went undrafted in 2001. 4 — Darren Davis (running back) Davis rushed for 3,763 yards in four seasons at Iowa State. Then he scored a 4 on the Wonderlic exam at the 2000 NFL Combine and went undrafted, eventually going on to play four seasons in the Canadian Football League before being cut. 4* — Morris Claiborne While most players with low Wonderlic scores have seen teams shy away, the Cowboys actually traded up to get Claiborne with the sixth overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. In eight seasons, he's managed seven interceptions and 265 tackles. He sat out the first four games of the 2019 season due to violating the league's substance abuse policy, but still won his first Super Bowl ring as a member of the Chiefs despite being inactive for the game. Claiborne's score should come with an asterisk, as he was later reported to be diagnosed with a learning disability. MORE: NFL mock draft 2020

  15. HSN Posters. Last year (HSN) we had a pair of 12 team Fantasy Football leagues (free). The competition was fierce, but it was a heckuva good time. Based on early feedback from those that played last season, we expect to need approximately 4-5 replacement teams this year (out of 24). If you have any interest in joining, I will guarantee a spot to the first 4 that respond to this thread. If more are interested, we will create a waiting list starting after 4 for 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. in case we have more open spots than expected. League setup is fairly standard, with 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Defense, 1 K, and 1 Flex with a bench. Scoring is fairly standard PPR with a little extra QB scoring on TD passes and some yardage bonuses. But, nothing overly exotic. Beyond a couple of hours for the draft, the time commitment can be as little as a few minutes each week to ensure you field a complete lineup. If you've never played before, this is a perfect opportunity to get your feet wet since there is no cost. If you miss the playoffs, who cares. None of us know who you really are anyway. If you win, you have board bragging rights for the entire next year.
  16. No. It was Orville Redenbacher Kettle Corn purchased from the grocery.
  17. Of course not. Honestly, I'm not sure.
  18. 14-9 since the 3-22 start. Officially not the worst record in the majors now. Royals at 16-32 compared to Reds at 17-31. Next up to overtake in standings: Nationals, Tigers, A's, and Cubs.
  19. Bags of microwave popcorn that don't pop properly.
  20. Tigers were always my favorite AL team growing up because that's where Sparky went after the Reds made the idiotic decision to fire him.
  21. There are some threads that simply have to be clicked based on the thread title. This is one of those threads.
