  1. A… good friend of mine has a dad that was born in the United States to illegal immigrant parents in the 1960s. His mom was born in the US back then to (legal he thinks) Mexican immigrant parents. That friend was then born in the United States some years later of course. Is he still a citizen?
  2. I’m not sure where you get this idea that QBs hit WRs in stride all the time. It’s actually a pretty rare thing on deep throws
  3. Does blitzing 6+ on 3rd or 4th and long ever work?
  4. Just put skirts on them and make them wear flags. Jesus christ. Same thing with the double-first base thing in college baseball. Let men be men
  5. Howard will not throw an incompletion tonight. Wow
  6. Whole lot of fuck you from ND there. Leonard won’t last till the 2nd quarter at this rate though
  7. Buckeyes are winning this by 3 TDs at least
  8. My dads family was when he was a kid. During picking season they’d leave Texas and go to Cali, Washington, Nebraska, etc to work on farms. A couple of his siblings liked that part of California so much they moved there as adults and have been there ever since.
  9. TIL that pointing out an autistic person is an awkward loser means you support whatever it was they were doing.
  10. You and me both. The real nazis would’ve thrown most of their modern day American worshippers on trains if they ever met them. But being so rage-blinded you totally miss the point of someone’s statement is an example of the modern softness a lot of people are tired of.
  11. Find where I made any excuse for nazi salutes. My point was he’s an insanely cringy loser no matter what he does. And the type of oversensitivity you just displayed is exactly why trump got inaugaurated today. People are tired of it.
  12. Is he actually autistic? He’s said he is right? Even the nazi salutes were cringey/awkward.
  13. Well shit there’s actually an international baseball academy in Uganda that’s produced a handful of signings in recent years. It’s currently being run by the fucking dodgers.
  14. Uganda had (has?) a pretty decent baseball culture recently. Almost sent one team to the LLWS but had paperwork issues, then the next year they had it sorted out and did qualify a team to the LLWS. Even won a game I think.
  15. That was an excellent season opener.
  16. I have a ton of family in Cali (Central Valley/San Jose area). I like it there alright. Is it better than NYC? Fuck no. Yes I’ve never been to NY in the winter but a ball player wouldn’t have to be there then either.
  17. Punters are a lot better now at controlling the bounce. Now it’s more like you fair catch anything outside the 2. I disagree with the new school of thought though. To me the potential of a touchback is well worth the 2-3 yards you save with a fair catch. It’s stupid.
  18. TIL that baseball season extends into January. Seriously, the weather argument is so stupid. No MLB players are in their city in the winter
  19. LA has only about 64,000 Japanese and Japanese-American residents combined. A whopping 1.5% of the population. Enjoy being around all those familiar folks Sasaki.
  20. What kind of bullshit participation trophy mindset is this?
  21. Maybe I mistook his tentativeness as a lack of speed. I did like the vision I was seeing, he was seeing the right holes, getting skinny, then bringing contact to the 2nd level guys. Didn’t have the top end speed I thought he would. I think he’s a perfect wildcat QB. Can hit a pop pass, and due to his background I think he can hit some more challenging passes too. It’d be a mistake to use him primarily as a WR I think.
  22. I think Terry should’ve been a low 4 star. I have high hopes for him since he’s from San Antonio. But I watched all of his last playoff game and was not impressed, he looked slow and like he did not care about the game at all. Did not participate in the team warm-up after halftime. However he did have a circus catch over a DB in the 4th, so there’s talent there for sure. Since he has no speed, I’d love to see him bulk up and get his attitude fixed. He’s comfortable taking snaps, he’s slow but shifty and powerful. And he can catch passes. He’d be a hell of a redzone weapon.
  23. Great article by Mike Axisa explaining his HOF ballot choices, and what it meant to become a voter this year after first becoming a baseball writer by starting a small online blog 19 years ago: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/baseball-hall-of-fame-peak-players-ped-guys-on-mike-axisas-ballot-plus-a-surprising-ichiro-consideration/
  24. You guys live in Katy and fucking tomball and say you’re from Houston. I’ve visited NYC and love the Yankees so I’ll say I’m in NYC and we’ll call it even.
