Things that interest me: most sports - I'm big into fantasy football, college basketball, Cubs baseball, and Michigan football/bball, lefty politics, music - all variations of rock and Americana, movies & TV, anything that distracts from the hellscape

It'll be amazing to see it happen in an online auction draft.

I was in an auction league during the peak David Johnson years where someone spent like 20% of their budget on backup TE David Johnson

Yep. B pretty easily

The yo-yo temps in Chicago have been more drastic than usual lately.

It was in the 70s Monday, and snowed a little today. It'll be 55 on Sunday, then 25 on Mon/Tues, then back up to 67 next Friday

Kentucky - Started 18-7. Lost 5 of 8
Indiana - Started 17-8. Lost 5 of 6
USC - Started 18-6. Lost 8 in a row

BYU Started 16-1. Lost 9 of 15. They largely get a pass because of the Richie Saunders injury, but they were 2-5 in the 7 games *before* he got hurt.

The list of teams that are considerably limping into March Madness is not short.

A bunch of teams have damaged their seed line or played their way into tenuous bubble territory
SMU - Started 19-8. Lost 5 of 6
UCF - Started 17-4. Lost 6 of 9 (maybe 7 of 10 soon)
St. Louis - Started 24-1. Lost 3 of 6

He averaged 16.3 touches per game over the last 7 games of the season, and $5.5M for a running back isn't nothing.

He's going to be at worst very involved in a committee backfield IMO.

This might be the most incredible ratio I've ever seen on this site

Kobe scored points 80 & 81 with under a minute left in a game the Lakers were up in by nearly 20

He left the floor with 4 seconds left in the game. The Lakers force-fed him the ball right to the end to get him the 2nd-highest scoring game of all-time

Why should Bam be held to a higher standard?

Can they bring in Cobra Kai Forbath to do kickoffs?

I'll be limited to what divisions are drafting in Chicago, but if I could choose from any game, I'd go Metal Gear Solid

I'm wondering if Chicago will do that with Midway games.

Mortal Kombat
NFL Blitz
NBA Jam
NHL Hitz
MLB Slugfest
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing
Rampage

(And don't tell Zac but Gretzky 3D Hockey was also a Midway game)

Am I gunning for lower or higher score? I got 0.0066 on my laptop.

The map shows the entirety of the North American continent being roughly the size of Ohio and Pennsylvania and you're taking it as a serious post.

It was pre-2000 obviously, but Cris Collinsworth played at 6'5", 192 according to pfref.

Michael Jackson (6'4", 195 - Ravens) put up over 1,000 yards in 1995

Sidney Rice (6'4", 200), Drew Bennett (6'5", 206) and AJ Green (6'4", 207) all put up 1K+ in a season since 2000.

I know Auburn hasn't really played good ball since January, but we've seen them win some big games when they play their best.

Won at Florida, and beat Kentucky, Arkansas, and St. John's too.

Not a big fan of the early power conf. games with huge bubble implications?

Just in the SEC on Thursday we could have UK-Mizzou, Auburn-Tenn, and Texas-UGa all with big bubble implications.

UCF or Cincy vs Zona, Indiana vs Wisconsin, Ohio St. vs Iowa, NC St. or Stanford vs Virginia

It really is too on-brand for this world that International Women's Day falls on the only day of the year that's only 23 hours long.

That or a full-time 2-way football player, but once upon a time that was the norm in football

The only possible single-sport parallel I can think of would be being simultaneously a great goalkeeper and great goal scorer in hockey or soccer, and with those you can't do both in the same game.

Have you seen Snatch and Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels?

I read this post and got excited that they might be playing somewhere in Chicago tonight. Bummed when I looked it up and saw they're in Indy

No...a candidate's job is to *convince* you that they're good enough. Motivating people to turn out and vote for them is the exact thing a candidate is supposed to do.

I'm not sure you know how anything in the world works if you disagree with that.

I've seen reporting that they're using AI to suggest and prioritize targets.

They're just going to blame the AI for this, aren't they?
