OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XI - Defense? Who Needs Defense?! (Wade Wilson Memorial Edition)

[AKL]

How is he gonna decide if say the Vikings have the 2nd pick, but one of the teams he doesn’t want to go to has the 1st pick and no quarterback? It’s also a joke that a player in college can make more than a rookie contract in the pros, but that’s a whole other discussion.

I guess he can keep going back to college until one of those 5 teams gets the first, and then after his last year of college eligibility, if they still don't get the first, he can quit football?

I think if he's really set on this, it would be more likely that he would get drafted and then traded for a haul to one of the teams he likes, so at least the drafting team will get a bigger return than whoever the second best player they could take at the draft is.

I don't really know how good he is, but saying this kinda stuff is a red flag to me.

It happened with Manning and Rivers. I believe Manning said he’d never play for the Chargers so they ended up swapping QBs

For the proof: Giants legend Eli Manning finally opens up about 2004 draft day trade

John Elway threatened to play MLB baseball for the Yankees if the Colts drafted him.

He’d refuse to play for them and it wouldnt be the first time it’s happened as stated above.

2-0 Newcastle over PSG at the half. Still have lots of game to go, but it would be a huge win for NUFC if they can pull it off. Rainy, of course… is it a rule that you have to be pudgy and pale in order for you to take your shirt off in St. James’s Park?

I believe that’s the rule across the UK

Could be a long game if we keep getting into these jams.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Sonny G has been squeezed more than Berrios so far.

 

[Minnewildsota]

And you guys thought Baldelli was bad…

 

[NHL1674]

Getting caught too far from second.....that was awesome.

 

[NHL1674]

MERCY!!!

 

[Soldier13Fox]

And you guys thought Baldelli was bad…

That was crazy. Feel bad for Berrios.... talk about overthinking and playing the analytics game

 

[Victorious Secret]

And you guys thought Baldelli was bad…

I mean, Rocco did the same thing to Berrios every year.

 

[NHL1674]

Some extra insurance would be nice.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Get an insurance run here, shut them down the next half inning and... don't even want to jinx it. I'm so excited

 

[NHL1674]

We need more tackles in baseball.

 

[Oilers in NS]

WE don't even know, really.The guys who were supposed to be their stars, Buxton and Correa, have been mediocre at best. Gallo, their off season acquisition, has been beyond awful.Their best position players are a bunch of young no names like Julien(Canadian), Lewis, Castro, and the like.

The pitching staff has been very good, and deep. Sonny Gray has been good ever since he came here, but otherwise, the starters seem to take turns on getting hot. Ryan and Lopez have both been excellent at times, but so has Maeda, and there is a rotation of pitchers coming from the St. Paul Saints that come up and play very well for brief stretches. Dhuran closes games with some absolutely filth, but he can be shaky, despite his awesome stuff.

In other words, they are pretty hard to prepare for, as they are a no name team that are a work in progress.

U guys deserve this. I’m a Canadian but I can’t stand the Jays. I’m waiting for the Expos to come back. 1 run in 2 games ain’t gonna cut it. They left too many runners on. I’d trade Vladdy in the off-season for sure. Schneider is not a good coach either. When coaches rely on analytics, it always costs them. Cost Tampa Bay a few years ago with Snell and cost Jays today with Berios. Dump coaching
Minnesota has a nice team. Would like to see u guys do well . Another bad mistake by Schneider was leaving Belt in for 2 games. 0-8, 5 K’s.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Shit. That's probably not good

Hopefully he's ok

 

[NHL1674]

Son of a B!!!

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Shoot. Ok, let's see some filth Duran

 

[NHL1674]

So, are the Astros still beating on the garbage cans?

 

[GordieGallant]

WTF?

 

[NHL1674]

Just gotta make things more difficult.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

WTF?

Right? What happened?

 

[NHL1674]

Pull him.

Ehhhhh....nevermind.
