    Maybe he should have just come out and owned not being vaccinated instead of pussyfooting around it with the entire "I've been immunized" bullshit. If you believe in your actions then own them and explain it, instead of trying to come up with excuses once you get caught in your lie. 

    Maybe he wasn't upfront about it because of the tsunami of retards who would be indignant about Rodgers being publically non-vaccinated. Every time an athlete came out as non-vaccinated they got shit on for undermining the credibility of vaccination even if the athlete stated it was a personal decision. You can have whatever opinion about what Rodgers should have done, the people who are indignant about the vaccination status of the Packers QB as if it is relevant to their own life are pathetic.

    Y'all disappoint me. Shaggy never lacked creativity. Surly has become like a bar at closing time where the only people left are the ones who couldn't get laid.

    Are you saying we should not jab Aaron Rodgers?

    He's been immunized from criticism, so I don't think it will have much effect. 

  3. Don't get the self-righteousness about Rodgers not being vaccinated. He wasn't advising others to not be vaccinated. He made a personal decision based on his own health risks. Then he got Covid and guess what? He was perfectly okay. And if you're one of  those retards who thinks Covid would be gone if everyone was vaccinated, understand that has  been an indisputably anti-scientific position since delta emerged in the mid-summer. Vaccines don't even have an impact on omicron infection rates.

     

    Tl:Dr Don't be a pathetic shit head wishing suffering on people who made personal decisions about vaccination.

    Could be, sure. But, as a professional, how does he justify his opinion that the incident was not penalty worthy? I mean, that was the literal perfect example of a targeting penalty. 

    He didn't say it was for sure not a penalty. He said that he hates guys getting ejected for plays like that. The reality is that most people decide targeting calls by whether they would like to see that player removed from the game. Gus' point is that it would be a lot easier to accept the controversial targeting calls if they didn't carry an instant ejection as penalty. All sensible CFB fans are in favor of a flagrant 1 flagrant 2 system for targeting and it's assinine that it hasn't been implemented.

    And he just shrugged off his biggest rivals team getting away with a clear-cut targeting penalty when his broadcast mates were sure of it being a penalty. You'd think a meat chicken man would jump all over that opportunity. 

    Or maybe he's professional and doesn't let the name on the jersey affect his opinions?

    When your WR6 transfers to Alabama and becomes WR1 there you know the WR room is ridiculous.

    That's not really accurate. Metchie is WR1 and he's very good. He just got overshadowed by Smith and Waddle. Also I'm not sure Fleming and Marvin Harrison Jr get more play time than Williams, even though I bet that those two will end up better players.

    The whole “strikeouts are the same as any other out” logic always bugged me as a former player. When I got to two strikes it was time to choke up and just make contact. Foul off pitches, work the pitch count up, work a walk or put the ball in play. Sure the contact was weaker but I’ll take my chances with the defense maybe making an error or something. Anything but striking out. Always felt like a bitch knowing the pitcher sat you down. /rant

    That's because the fielding in Tee-ball is not as good as the major leagues. Putting the ball on the ground in the major leagues is probably an out. Even if it slips through, it's likely only a single.

  8. Manfred is such an idiot and I'm surprised the owners let him do it. From a pure business perspective, letting the activist players split the player's union on a hill that most players won't die on would have been good for the owners heading into the CBA. In fact, if some high profile players sat out, that would have benefited the owners by tanking public approval of the players.

    From a baseball fan perspective, he dunked the MLB straight into politics and committed the MLB to more politicization in the future. What Manfred does not understand is that it does not stop here. He does not understand that he has implicitly suggested that the MLB has a moral responsibility to disengage from any institution that our cultural elites label as unjust. The applause of the cultural elites will only continue so far as MLB ratifies whatever narrative they want to advance. The moment Manfred has to oppose their wishes on something that affects MLB's bottom line, it will be as if he has never done anything to gratify them. They will not care.

    I enter the season with a bit of optimism.  The Dodgers may just be OK this year.

    At least the Dodgers will have real competiton for the division this year. I'm hoping Dodgers-Padres lives up to the hype.

    If there are no opt outs for Tatis. I think it’s genius. It’s only 23 million a year AAV. That’s so cheap for an MVP level guy. If you can hit like that, at that age, the number of guys that don’t become HOF types that are positional players is just really small. Like absent some sort of major injury he’s gonna be awesome that whole time. 

    I don't know how the money is divided by the year but if it's close to even then the AAV is not large enough to completely tank the Padres contention hopes down the road. That said, I'm not sure how well Tatis will age. His game is centered around explosive athleticism, and that typically does not age well without PEDs. And if he suffers major injuries, he could go the way of Grady Sizemore.

    I’m on this team with this one. Delay the season a month and let’s try and get the most games in we can with people in seats and back out locally. I could give a shit about the DH in the NL or expanded playoffs at this point, I want the opportunity to use my normal season tickets as much as possible. If that means a months delay and 7 inning DH’s, I’m good with it.

    MLB is the only one of the big sports that is now going into year 2 of lost local revenue. 

    I would be on board with the shortened season plan if it did not include expanded playoffs. A 14 team playoff makes a 162 game season redundant. MLB season will turn into the NBA season, where no one cares about results because any team with talent automatically makes the playoffs.
