  1. First poor decision by Foles today. He let the Bears off the hook there....
  2. The Bears stuffed them the first few times they tried, so maybe the OC is a bit gun shy. Still, you need to keep hammering away at them. Hopefully the D Line will tire towards the end of the game.
  3. Pretty impressed that he hung onto the ball, actually. Especially after seeing the replay.
  4. This is just......I can't even.... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/babysitter-dressed-dead-infant-gave-him-back-to-his-mother-and-went-swimming-police-say/ar-BBRS0mh?li=AAggFp5 and ....but mostly
  5. They've been the better team to this point in the game, IMO....
  6. The thing is, the Bears' lineman didn't do anything wrong. He just continued his block until he heard the whistle. Really poor discipline by Bennett
  7. That was selfish by Bennett there....his teammates made a good play to prevent a first down and he threw it away...
  8. Figured they were going to call "down by contact" there....
  9. I think I might have given up the safety there. Pretty good punt, all things considered, but that's still a pretty short field for MT.
  10. Gotta give the O line credit there. 3rd and 8, da Bears knew Foles was throwing and got zero pressure on him.
  11. Well, I was somewhat of a Chargers fan this weekend, but next weekend......this is me:
  12. Would have been more fun to see it come down to the wire, but that was a terrific play by the Bolts' pass rusher.
  13. That's it. Fun to watch though.
  14. I think the Ravens defender had the angle. I called the hold watching in real time, because it was right there. Going to be an interesting 45 seconds.
  15. Kind of surprised they threw on that play.....luckily, it didn't cost them.
  16. Looked like a hold to me....and I'm cheering for the Bolts...
  17. Probably too little, too late, but that scramble and then throw back across the middle by LJ was something to see....
  18. Except, in this case, we're talking about college players and it's actually the other way around. Yes, in most cases, they get free tuition and books, but the schools make huge money off of them and they are not compensated for it. I can't blame them for wanting to make sure they aren't injured just before making the jump to the pros, since it could significantly alter their career arc and their earnings. In the case of the WHC, it's their club teams, not their country that has a ton invested in them. Most want to play for their country anyway, but refusing to go, is actually an act of loyalty to the people that pay their salaries, rather than disloyalty to their country.
  19. I really have no idea about the viability of converting the Dilbit to pucks at the BC end before shipping, but I have to commend @Butters7 for coming up with a solid idea. It seems that most people on the debate are focused on why something won't work, rather than what might.
  20. It's a tough call for me..... I think that if you're in a major Bowl game (Orange, Cotton, Rose, Sugar) and especially a "final 4" game, then you should play, because the game means so much to your school and your teammates. But if you're on a team that went 7-6 and you're playing in the Cheez-It Bowl, or the Dollar General Bowl (yes, those are real Bowl games) then it's a little different. Case in point: https://sports.yahoo.com/winners-losers-new-years-eve-bowl-games-kenny-willekes-broken-leg-shows-players-not-vilified-skipping-bowls-030755197.html
  21. I'm guessing that Tulo is insurance, seeing as DIdi is out until mid-season. It definitely stings to be paying someone big money to play for someone else, but at this point, I think the Jays needed to move on.
  22. Texas looking like they're going to pull off the upset over Georgia....
  23. UCF not giving up....just saw that their missing their starting QB as well...
  24. That should do it....UK with a first down and 1:43 left in regulation. Nittany Lions just used their final TO.
