  1. I heard an interview with him and he said he always buys the same type of gym shorts, then takes scissors and "cuts the dick out" for more comfort and mobility
  2. Nova will get better, but they're gonna take their lumps. KU should be up in the 20-point range by halftime this weekend. As for the Quakers, lot of motivation to snap VU's city steak there at the Palestra, with one of Penn's best teams in a while. The Ivy could be a safe two-bid conference with Penn and Yale.
  3. I hate that it was the Cowboys who put the final nail in the Eagles, but it was coming anyway. Total SB hangover: age, injuries, performance drop-off, coaches leaving, tough schedule, and the cliche of opponents wanting it more now. Now I hope NFC teams look at this film and realize you shouldn't just play conservative against Dallas because you expect a low scoring game. Receivers can get open, and you can run inside with some success against them. And the refs - WTF on both sides. The teams were struggling enough, we didn't need those ridiculous calls on major plays from literally the opening kick all the way into OT.
  4. I love NFL celebrations, even against my team. I really don't want to see the Vander Esch yodel or Zeke feed-me this weekend, but I respect their right to do it when it's earned. They are rich and famous, they know they might get de-pantsed the very next play but that's part of the job. Notice the other team rarely takes issue with it...just having fun for players, fans and TV cameras.
  5. They're trying to copy Stoops-to-Riley, a handpicked young successor who can maybe relate to players better. Saves some money too, after a year of massive legal bills and probable hush money to people who knew what Zach was up to.
  6. Remember the meaningless 2016 finale where Dak started, then Romo took his first regular season snaps of the year for some reason, and Sanchez got the majority of play against (of course) the Eagles. Philly won 27-13 to hurt their draft position
  7. Beltre > Chipper Jones fuck y'all
  8. But we're still gonna get "Bama was scared" takes all month
  9. Illegal formation on the dagger touchdown? We try to copy SEC in everything, I guess
  10. You can get out, I did a couple years ago! Still check this thread 1-2 times per season to confirm my decision. Carl dying a virgin is the only thing this show got right.
  11. I think the main thing about this game is the sideline reporter is @Alex_Curry If you are a hetero male over the age of "born", it's worth spending some time scrolling back through the Insta link above
  12. If you're going to the Cotton Bowl semifinal, pretty clear it will be the early game that day. As the No. 1 team, Bama will select to play in Jerry World over Miami. Which means Notre Dame will be in the 2-3 game in Miami, which means ABC will 100 percent make that the prime time game for ratings purposes.
  13. The Butler move would fit in with the Process. It was always assumed an outside superstar would be added to the lineup of young studs and role players. At the moment we may be a bit lacking in role players, and Butler may not be exactly the superstar we needed, but it's worth a shot. I watched last night start-to-finish. Embiid is ridiculous, he doesn't even really get tired anymore.
  14. This was my response a few weeks back when it came up. Probably too late if you were in for the Eagles-Cowboys atrocity... The trendy food and drink right near there would be 13th Street, just 2-3 blocks from your hotel. El Vez, Barbuzzo, Sampan, Vedge, Charlie Was A Sinner are all in that region. We like a dive-ish place called Franky Bradley's that is just off 13th near Locust. In the past I've recommended McGillin's, also just off 13th near Chestnut and very close to Loews. It is a neat spot but kinda overtaken by young money douches the last couple years. For lunch and/or dinner a little cheaper but still good, look at Walnut Street on the block between 11th-12th. Moriarty's has great wings and is a fun spot. Destination Dogs has way too elaborate hot dogs but you can customize them down, or get something else. Oloroso is a little pricier but terrific tapas in that same block. Bareburger has great burgers including two meatless options. It will probably be cold, so all of the above is within 5-10 minute walk.
  15. I understand the motivation, but it has spread out of control. This week's Big 12 holds were mostly about where to place Bedlam vs. UT-Tech. You can't tell me the ratings for one or the other would be THAT different if Tech had pulled off the OU upset, or if we had beaten WVU. No need to wait to make the networks pick between those two games. And for Pac 12 and lower where ratings are garbage no matter what, there should never be a need for a hold.
  16. We got some problems Saric is lost, Fultz is not in a good spot to grow into any kind of role, and there isn't enough veteran presence to stabilize when shit goes wrong. How ironic that the moves Colangelo made last year (Belinelli, Ilyasova) are what is lacking this year. The East basically sucks so there should be playoffs again. But a major move will be needed in the offseason if not sooner, and the lottery days are over for now...
  17. Kansas holding out de Sousa because of "some new" information that came out in the FBI trial
  18. A 42 percent chance at the playoff after losing by 29 to a 3-3 team. And their best non-conf win is neutral site over TCU. The sad thing is I think that 42 percent number is probably right IF they win out. But they're kinda mediocre so I doubt they can pull that off.
  19. Probably lost in the madness, but didn't 6 minutes stoppage time seem excessive? I wasn't totally glued to the game but was expecting 3-4 minutes to be added.
  20. Loews is nice. The bar/restaurant in the lobby is way overpriced, no idea if it's any good. Brand new Iron Hill Brewery is in the next block on Market Street - their other locations are great so I assume this one is decent too. The trendy food and drink right near there would be 13th Street, just 2-3 blocks from your hotel. El Vez, Barbuzzo, Sampan, Vedge, Charlie Was A Sinner are all in that region. We like a dive-ish place called Franky Bradley's that is just off 13th near Locust. In the past I've recommended McGillin's, also just off 13th near Chestnut and very close to Loews. It is a neat spot but kinda overtaken by young money douches the last couple years. For lunch and/or dinner a little cheaper but still good, look at Walnut Street on the block between 11th-12th. Moriarty's has great wings and is a fun spot. Destination Dogs has way too elaborate hot dogs but you can customize them down, or get something else. Oloroso is a little pricier but terrific tapas in that same block. Bareburger has great burgers including two meatless options. It will probably be cold, so all of the above is within 5-10 minute walk. For history, the sweet spot is walking to the 5th & Market area. Independence Hall tours (15-20 mins) are free and lines probably won't be long in December. I think the Liberty Bell is overrated but it's there, you can see it from the outside to save time. Constitution Center is really well done, take your time if you do that one. There's a new Museum of the American Revolution, haven't been but seen mixed reviews so far. Feel free to ask more...as you can tell I'm pretty familiar with this area
  21. If KU has the kind of season they are expecting, the Self era should surge forward just as it has been recently. Recruits aren't reading Dan Wetzel and Adam Zagoria columns, and they have no idea who Mark Emmert is. People say "the NCAA" will get them but really that's just a coalition of old dudes who don't want to disrupt the machine any more than the fans do. These trials will probably have some impact at the school level, but nothing major that would impact the current pecking order.
  22. Gonna have a few days off so yeah they'll use Jansen
  23. Was wondering what a hail mary FG looks like. 4-5 guys running up to kick it at the same time?
  24. Thought we would have a "Kyler Murray will NEVER beat Texas thread by now" but I suppose there could still be December rematch
  25. They had a spy on McSorley at least during the 4th quarter, and definitely would have if it was empty backfield. I thought they should have thrown to one of the single-covered guys at the top, but as mentioned none of them even ran a pattern because they wanted the ol' negative yard screen. Such a waste.
