    man, what a substantive post, full of facts, stats, and anecdotal evidence which support your argument! you definitely addressed the things that i've actually said and rebutted them. great job!

     

    That does sound exactly like what I did actually. You think Harden is better than Hakeem don't you?

    lulz

    Mayfield was fucking awful this year. 

    Only one of these was not a bad throw or play by Mayfield, the 4th and goal play against the Rams. You can call a few of them unlucky bounces, but those unlucky bounces happened because the ball was low or behind the receiver.

    I didn't say he was good this year, but he doesn't deserve all the blame. The play calls were atrocious, as was the offensive line. And "bad throw" or not, they are NFL WRs...they have to catch the ball if it hits them in the hands

    no, you don't have it straight. it's pretty simple-

    1)Luka is already better than Dirk ever was. Never in Dirk's career was he as versatile or as talented as Luka is now. Vision, rebounding, ball handling, dynamism- Dirk at his very best was never as good as Luka is *now*.
     

    2)Dirk is an all time great player and Luka has a very long way to go before being in the same class as Dirk. Luka hasn't been playing nearly long enough for that be the case. 

    3)I'm having a tough time remembering anyone presenting actual facts which support the idea that Dirk is a better basketball player than Luka, but that's probably only because it's not true and therefore impossible to even post. 

    got it? good.

    Basically what I am gathering is that Luka is better because you have seen more of high highlight plays than you have from Dirk and because Luka is more "dynamic" aka "more fun to watch". Neither of which make him a better basketball player than Dirk. To say that Luka, a second year player is already better than a future HOFer and absolute legend in the game is incredibly ignorant. Had you said that Luka will likely develop into a better player than Dirk it would be slightly more understandable, but this is blasphemous. It sounds like you probably think that Harden is better than Olajuwon too

    To be fair, Baker is not a good QB. And OBJ is a fucking cancer and has been since NYG.  OBrien and Garrett have much better QBs in Watson and Dak. Cleveland was put together like a kid playing Madden. Flashy names and what not but no real substance.

    Although if you switched Garrett and Kitchens, the results would probably be similar for Cle and Dallas.

    Baker doesn't get enough credit. He may not be an elite QB, but he is certainly better than a lot of guys out there. I would like to see and top-tier QB try and throw the ball effectively with an O-Line made of paper like the Browns'. Though, DW4 does it year after year. Plus, with Hunt and Chubb, paired with OBJ (no matter how much of a cancer he may be) and Jarvis, there's no way the offense should have been as bad as it was. I put the blame primarily on the O-line, then Dorsey, then Kitchens. Maybe switch Dorsey and the O-Line. Also, Dak is so incredibly overrated

  5. Garrett, O'Brien and Kitchens are all about the same level of terrible in my eyes. To have teams with as much talent as the Browns, Texans and Cowboys, yet still underperform year in and year out should say something about their coaching ability (or lack there of). The Texans are only in the playoffs because they have a Top 5-8 team talent wise, but they never seem like a true contender because BOB is just such an awful playcaller. he gets carried by Deshaun, something that Garrett and Kitchens don't benefit from

    worst ballot of the year, worse than Jeter-only.

     

     

     

    Vizquel doesn't get nearly the respect that he deserves. The dude was one of the best defensive shortstops to play the game, with likely the quickest hands I have ever seen. He deserves to be in eventually, if not this year

    ok i just found out that Dirk is Arsenal fan, and based on this new information i'm going to have to change my tune. it's Dirk >>>>> Luka all day baby! that Real Madrid loving bastard could only dream of filling Dirk's shoes!!

    seriously though, i do want to make it clear that i'm not anti-Dirk or anything, i'm just blown away at how good Luka is. and i watched him play at RM, and i listened to the Russillo podcasts where he was telling anyone who would listen that he was going to be great, and i expected him to come in and play well right away...but not like this. i haven't seen anyone storm the league like this since LeBron. 

    Now I understand why you're so angry all the time...you're an Arsenal fan

    entertaining game but they overdid it on the country-fied theatrics 

    The game was fantastic. I wasn't able to get my hands on a ticket, but even just watching it on TV I was able to tell how nuts the stadium was and how the environment changed so drastically after each goal. Being at the game, were there any issues of puck visibility? The seats seemed to be very far from the ice.

    By the way today was more evidence why Dallas >>> Houston. Sports are just a bigger deal here on the pro, collegiate, and high school level.

    Because Dallas fans have more support for the Stars than Houston fans have for the hockey team that doesn't exist?? And whether they're a "bigger deal" or not, all Dallas sports teams are far worse than Houston sports teams

    I agree that the replay overturn was incorrect, but the receiver never turned to go upfield. He was turned by the defensive back while still moving backward.

    Eh, debatable, but nonetheless less he made a football move or two and the call should certainly should not have been overturned. If they had ruled It incomplete and then confirmed the decision it’d be different, but there wasn’t enough evidence to support an overturn there

    Lol at OSU fans having the audacity to bitch about reffing.

     

    First off, fuck you. Bad officiating won you the championship against Miami. That is the most atrocious call i've ever seen.

     

    Second, that dude didn't clearly possess the ball for long enough, i dont give a shit how many "steps" he took. Those weren't steps anyway as much as they were his feet kind of shuffling because he was having to work back to the ball at a weird angle.  

     

    Also, here's what the rule says about whether something is a catch or not:

     

    3. Maintains control of the ball long enough to enable him to perform an act common to the game, i.e., long enough to pitch or hand the ball, advance it, avoid or ward off an opponent

     

    Under this definition here, he didn't advance the ball, and he damn sure didn't maintain the ball as he tried to ward off the opponent. The rules say literally nothing about number of steps. That is an incomplete pass all fucking day you maroons.

     

    Fuck Ohio St and fuck their whiny bitch coach and fans. Play better and let's go Clemson.

    I also don’t care how many steps he took, but controlling the ball, collecting his footing and turning to go up field sure seems pretty “common” in any game I’ve seen

    Tickets are way too expensive. The midway open is a cool touch but I'm not spending that much to watch a hockey game in a stadium that should be terrible for sight lines for hockey. Didn't want to but tickets in April because of unknown weather but glad it'll most likely be pretty good for the game. 

    I f***** up. I only bought two tickets back in April. Didn't think about the daughter being home. So now I have two tickets for three of us. Trying to get another single, but the cheapest tickets in our section are $270. I'd kind of like to sell mine, but that would piss the family off even more.

    How much will you sell them for?
