  1. popular/reputable outlets have had him in their shortlist: sbnation, sports illustrated, and nfl.com vegas oddsmaker placed him anywhere from 3-5 early in the season: betmgm, fansduel, caesars in this thread, there have been people non-sarcastically flagging him for heisman people here and elsewhere have predicted it, but he's steadily fallen off from those predictions as the season progressed.
  2. i dont understand how strong of a conviction people have and how finely attuned to music they are to be able to rank background instrumentalists from different bands. people will say shit like "the best bassists in 80s rock are from def leppard, motley crue, van halen, and then bon jovi". in blues music, the guitar is front and center, and albert king obviously has sound unique from john lee hooker and from jeff beck, and you can have a favorite out of them. but for drummers and rhythm guitars you must be a fanatic to discern that stuff right? i suppose its like non-"skill" positions in football. i couldnt name 10 NFL Right Tackles for a million dollars.
  3. if your night lights are that shade of white instead of a warm golden glow, summins wrong wif u
  4. The last 5 pages have been the same posts over and over again. It really does feel like some of you may have lost your got damned minds.
  5. Everybody always asks what happens to BRK when Warren dies but turns out he outsurvived his buddy Charlie Munger
  6. The point in having a ranked multi-team playoff is that the lower you go, the less important that place is. IF Alabama beats Georgia -- by any manner with any margin you can imagine -- whether Georgia is more or less deserving than Texas for the last spot is not that important in the CFP universe. In the 9 year history of the CFP, the top 2 seeds have won 66% of the championships.
  7. how did nick cannon make it his shtick to host stupid television shows
  8. By the window on the 6th floor of a library with a butter knife
  9. the machines are pumping on the neighborhood slope. i havent laced up my boots in years
  10. what in the fuck is duroc pork. it sounds like a 3M product. the specialty pork i see at restaurants is mangalica but it just tastes like normal pork to me - and normal pork is already delicious
  11. i lolled at this sentence (had the first Fire tablet a decade ago) but you guys do make a good point. kiddo so far ONLY needs netflix and nothing else.
  12. As a divorced father of 7 children who just lost a job at citigroup, my biggest worry is the price of a Chicken Melt on Rye, and its great there are elected leaders out there protecting my interest from the greedy Big Hoagie Cartel.
  13. People argue endlessly about where teams should be in the ranking, but nobody ever establishes what the ranking is supposed to represent. Is it the best 4 teams today? Or the best 4 teams over the course of the season? I blame the CFP for that. In their charter, they don't make it explicit. Sometimes one is implied, sometimes the other is. https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2016/10/11/faq https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2017/9/20/selection-committee-faq https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2016/10/24/selection-committee-protocol Conference Championship seems like the leading horse...
  14. A "middle of the road starter" today like Derek Carr or Tannehill will at one point have had a season in top 5 for their position. Kyler Murray had a 100 passer rating and accounted for 37 TDs. If you're a Colt McCoy, you don't automatically get this fat contract after the rookie one. Derek Jones is an anomaly.
  15. In actual productivity? or potential? His incoming class (2021): Drake Mayes, Shedeur, JJ McCarthy, Kyle McCord, Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe, Preston Stone even younger class (2022): Klubnik, Drew Alar, Noah Fifita
  16. this is how the Night King built his army
  17. iPad for a kid... yay or nay? at what age? watching cocomelon on a spare phone is a crutch for ours. sometimes he'll hold it too close to his eyes, or demand that we prop it up for him, etc. thinking a small/mini ipad in a childproof case with a stand is a better replacement.
  18. the entire womens roster is even thinner than mens heavyweight. womens p4p #4 is 12-5 #5 last 3 fights includes a win over meatball molly and a loss #7 is 12-6 (rose) miesha tate is top 15 in her division and has only 1 win in the last 7 years... etc...

  20. Ewers had an all-world rating coming into college, which was 3 years ago. This WR class and offensive starters was considered the best UT had in decades. Ewers was rated by all the press in pre- and early season as a Heisman shortlist candidate. People need to begrudgingly acknowledge that by all those standards he's well behind.
  21. They did it. They identified the true cause of inflation.
