  1. Yeah, he looks A LOT better than that.
  2. As an aside, since it is officially the offseason for all but two teams, I had a brief conversation with Art Howe this past weekend. His niece lives across the street from me and they were having a birthday party for a family member. Howe, former Astros player & manager, was there.
  3. What are you crying about dicknose? The only other place I’ve ever heard/seen “dicknose” was in Teen Wolf. Which we watched today before turning on the games. You made me laugh.
  4. Boy, he got him reaching on that swing.
  5. He’s been one helluva receiver and I don’t really like to see that sort of thing happen.
  6. That’s what I was wondering about. I don’t know enough about Seattle baseball to make an informed comment about their rotation but, what I have seen in this game and the game where Kirby got roughed up it made me wonder.
  7. The NFL generates so much money now that teams don’t really even have to win. Think of how many visiting fans make the trip to Las Vegas to see their team play the Raiders. And not one of those seats in that stadium is cheap. They haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1983, and I don’t think the son of Al Davis gives even one fuck about not winning.
  8. As a Pirates fan I am used to being pretty neutral during the playoffs.
  9. I’ve been flipping back and forth from the football to baseball. Should they have pulled Woo? They seemed to pull Kirby a bit early this game when they left him in last game and he got rocked.
  10. Well that was something.
  11. I was happy to see Pitt Man Erick Hallett making some plays in the secondary.
  12. https://www.espn.com/nfl/matchup/_/gameId/401772753 Did anyone look at the box for the Raiders game? Kansas City had 30 first downs to three for the Raiders. The Raiders had just 95-yards of offense. Historically bad.
  13. That was some serious defense played by Detroit. Amazing that Tampa couldn’t get it in the end zone there in the last 10 minutes or so.
  14. It’d be pretty fucking cool if his offense was able to Not Suck so much.
  15. Just funnin’. 😉
  16. I see the Falcons went back to the shitty uniform for tonight’s game.
  17. Max is a wizard. Final lap, leads Norris by just over 7 seconds.
  18. You, obviously, have an elevated and classy sense of style. Back in 1997 Pitt decided, well, Program Killer Steve Pederson decided, to change Pitt’s uniforms. They had the big reveal at the Student Union and I even remember the players they brought out in uniform; John Jenkins in the home and Jon Marzoch in the away. They came out and I leaned over to a friend of mine and said, loud enough to be heard, “those are fucking awful”. And they were. Anyway, I was on the outside of the inner ring because I was covering the athletic department for the in-house magazine. It was fun. I knew everyone and everyone knew me. We got rid of Script Pitt from just about everything, even the helmets. Script Pitt is based off of William Pitt, the younger’s, signature. Pitt was the youngest British Prime Minister at 24-years old. The closest to his signature was on the basketball uniforms until I think 1985 when they basically took the script from the helmet and put it on the jersey. So, we just threw away part of our history with some of the ugliest fucking uniforms - EVER. After that, I basically developed Tourette syndrome and anytime I was within ear-shot of Pederson I would scream, “stripes on pants”. My friends thought I was an idiot but, my friends who played and wore the stripes, appreciated my effort. I continued my efforts and one day at the Big East Tournament standing outside Villa Mosconi restaurant after a Pitt Guy lunch I was with Billy Fralic, Billy Callahan and Tommy Brown. And Mrs. Pederson came out while Steve was still inside and I stood beside her and put my arm around her shoulder and said, “when you and Steve are sitting at home and just watching some TV would you ask him to do a favor for us?”. She said, “yes”. And I said, “would you ask him to put the stripes back on the pants”. The guys started laughing but, eventually we got the stripes back, although the colors were still shit. My friends asked if I was now satisfied and I said, “no, I want the stripe on the helmet and Script”. I mentioned here before about how Tyler Palko got shit when he put Script Pitt on his helmet in place of Block Pitt for the Senior Bowl. Eventually they put Script back where it belonged, put the stripe back on the helmet and thankfully they went back to the colors that most people associate with Pitt. It’s just a shame that guys like Larry Fitzgerald, Darrelle Revis, Shady McCoy and Aaron Donald had to play in the craptastic uniforms. After we finally got the colors back, the uniforms back, the Script Pitt back, etc, we were playing down at Duke and I was told by our play-by-play man that I had to go to the house party everyone was going to, apparently the head of Duke Pharmacy or something like that, is a Pitt Man and he was having a party at his house. The AD at the time, Heather Lyke, took the “new-old” helmet to this guy for his game room and he had all the helmets on display. So I sat on the couch and I asked Heather to look at the helmets and asked if she understood why Script Pitt is so important to us. She had no idea about William Pitt’s signature. Sorry to hijack the thread but, it’s a roundabout way of saying I’d love to see Texas put the stripes back on their football pants and, like in that awesome photo, the stripes on the socks. If it was good enough for Earl Campbell’s legs it should be good enough for any current players.
  19. And don’t get me started on Stripes On Pants.
  20. I hate WVU but, their uniforms yesterday looked very sharp. I’d take West Virginia off the front of the jersey but, other than that it looked good.
  21. Good thing Sparty is focused on the “important” details.
  22. Name checks out. Thoughts & Prayers
  23. The collapse of Wisconsin and Clemson is pretty incredible. The GodPaCult is comprised of assholes so, in theory Kelly would fit right in with them.
  24. I’m just finishing up the Sprint. That was not a good move by Piastri. Max getting within sniffing distance of the McLarens in teh points is an amazing thing. And, Fuckin’ Stroll. He’s a menace.
  25. Kelly just sounds defeated, and not just today by Vandy.
