    Indy opened at -1.5 at Circa, but it's now flipped to Houston -1

    Also, Cincy opened at -2, and it' now -7

    Weird - as of an hour ago it looks like NB, Woods and Greenard are definitely out. 

    Considering the injuries and the state of the team coming into this year, it’s remarkable we are in this position. If Stroud has a big game to win what is essentially a playoff game with Xavier Hutchinson and Metchie being his top receivers…😮‍💨

    Dalton Schultz needs to have a big night. As do Jerry Hughes and Barnett. 

    I’ve been down on Caserio and the whole franchise, but the combination of FA signings and the draft so far this year has been nothing short of remarkable. Obviously Stroud and Anderson, but also Dell, Rankins, Collins, Cashman, Ward, Schultz and some others have been great moves. Maybe he got lucky with Stroud, but I 100% think Anderson was worth the draft capital to move up - much bigger gamble on later picks (see K. Green, K. Johnson etc.) and he is a game changer and clear locker room leader as a rookie. The culture has done a 180. 

    Regarding Hannah - I think she and Cal finally were able to get Janice to relent and get rid of the Baptist Church of Texan Day Saints. Easterby played to her extremely conservative and religious views and had her wrapped around his finger, at the expense of having a functional football franchise.

  2. I’m listening to an interview between Kalas and Dana - I presume it was today but not sure. He is gushing about Caratini and is shitting on Maldonado by everything he’s saying. Im sure it’s confirmation bias but he seems to imply Maldy was not good at the things he’s raving about Caratini - especially framing and, ya know, being an MLB caliber catcher.

  3. I was joking. Sorta. Of course they wanted FSU, who wouldn’t? 

    They got turbo fucked, I’d be most pissed if I was on that defense. Who’s to say they couldn’t shut down Michigan’s offense, give their offense some short fields and win a game 16-13? I think it was a terribad decision. Especially with the escape job Bama had against Auburn, you can’t say they are some juggernaut team right now.

  4. Glad that I was wrong about Espada not looking like the guy. Turns out they didn’t even interview anyone else. I still don’t get the delay in announcing the decision, but I fully support it as the right move. He was the obvious choice from a continuity and respect of the clubhouse perspective (Omar Lopez getting a look would have been fine too - maybe that was part of the consideration/delay).

    Anyhow, go Stros. A lot of that window is still open.

  5. I mean seriously what the fuck are we doing here. Doesn’t sound to me that Espada is the guy when (1) he wasn’t hired immediately and (2) our GM didn’t even know his fucking contract had expired. 

    I was relieved to hear the dumbass Angels hired Ron. I can’t believe he was an actual candidate but I was also sure we would end up with him somehow. And Maldy of course.
