  1. Me either, but I actively dislike most things widely regarded as “fun.”
  2. Right, we could add some more 9s in there. Probably several more. Point is, relatively speaking, he is firmly in a tiny population of fastest humans.
  3. I mean, he’s probably in the 99.9th percentile, right?
  4. Criteria was NFL performance not considered - i.e., purely based on college performance. So I’m guessing Harrell over him, as he’s the all time passing leader (by a lot in terms of TDs and yards), also had more team success.
  5. I’m not a tech guy but my father is, I’d guess something like: Gray, Z Thomas, Crabtree, Welker, Harrell i really only know their teams from the mid-80s on. I know there was a DT drafted really high in the early 80s whose pro career never happened due to an awful car accident, so maybe him. Donnie Anderson too? Also thought of Hanspard. Tyrone Thurman was a WR/returner from the mid 80s who was awesome and tiny. I don’t know, tech guys can tell me where I’m wrong.
  6. Well you see, Worthy was still underutilized, as was Mitchell, who also tested extremely well. Sanders was underutilized too, while we’re at it. Oh, and Brooks may be the RB1 in the draft - he too was underutilized. Sark is an idiot, he wasted so many plays.
  7. Seems more like he’s in the midst of a manic episode. When people start going out of their way to say/write things like “I’m operating at a level that is over your heads/that nobody else can even understand”…well, that’s usually not good.
  8. One of the Aggie-est thing I’ve ever seen was McGee jumping up to get in Sergio Kindle’s face and talk shit immediately after Kindle sacked him, with his team getting run out of the building. It was kind of perfect.
  9. He has the highest single-season yards per attempt average since the 1950s (9.9 in 2000).
  10. Wait, is he saying that Rice is getting a B10 invite?
  11. “If this statistical model doesn’t completely affirm my biased, preconceived idea about the world, then I shall blindly disregard it and assume it is deeply flawed.” Jesus, imagine applying that sentiment to all aspects of life, as these people seem to. Their aversion to any degree of objectivity that may challenge their desired reality never fails to astound me.
  12. Getting Yordan more PAs than anyone else on the team makes sense to me.
  13. Statistically it is best to have your best hitter at #2. it doesn’t make that much of a difference if Yordan hits 3 instead of 2 - maybe the difference of a run or two over an entire season. But I’m of the opinion that there’s no reason not to maximize your odds on things like this.
  14. Yordan 2nd and Bregman 3rd and we’re set.
  15. As someone who was an undergrad while Gregory was totally renovated and came out seeming sparkly and new, I scoffed when I read this, as obviously it isn’t that old. Then after a moment of thought:
  16. JV having health problems in his age 41 season should 100% be expected, as his age is an obvious risk. Counting on him too much is a bit…optimistic.
  17. The fact that I have no idea what “happened” is probably a good indicator of basketball’s level of relevance to this conversation. What should NEVER happen is losing to Maryland or Cal or kicking off both halves of a game or having Steve Patterson anywhere near Belmont, or agreeing to play road nonconference football games that don’t serve the University of Texas’s best interest. Failing to sell tickets to a basketball game (?) is whatever.
  18. (I didn’t know either. It is actor Rex Linn who is in some tv shows. He’s the Mesa Verde CEO in Better Call Saul.)
  19. This is all probably true, but the pettiness and spitefulness is so much more fun.
  20. That’s interesting. I know he hasn’t killed it at UCLA but I can’t recall a head coach from a big program taking a coordinator job at another school without being fired. The rumors of Kelly taking an NFL coordinator job made some sense, but this seems…odd? I’m sure there’s more to the story that I’m not privy to.
  21. Me either. The guy has a pattern of injury at a young age and has the build of a DH/1B. He’s perhaps the best hitter in baseball. The primary objective should be to keep him healthy at all costs to keep his bat in the lineup.
