OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XII - Heeeeeeressss JJ! (Percy Harvin Edition)

[Digitalbooya]

Caitlin Clark is a certified stud

 

[57special]

I don't think women can be studs.

 

[Minnewildsota]

I don't think women can be studs.

Not with that attitude...

I’m not an English major, clearly lol. Clark is very good

Jimmy Clark? Are you praising a Gophers player?!?

Nothing to do with school. More my time spent on a farm, and at the racetrack. You don't put a female out to stud, dudes only.

I hear male cows give funny tasting yogurt.

The one and only!

Sounds like the corresponding word for females is vixen?

Wife asked me if she should buy Brewers homer opener tickets when they first went on sale. I said no because it'll be weather dependent if we go. There is currently 2" of snow on the ground with no sign of letting up any time soon. Glad we didn't buy tickets.

 

[MuckOG]

I will be interested to see what other picks in addition to next year's second.

Texans starting to look scary good.

EDIT: Looks like the return will be a 2025 2nd and 5th round, and 2026 6th round picks.

[Dr Jan Itor]

It's incredible the quality of established players you can get with drafts picks in that league.

Until Diggs starts pouting again

 

[57special]

Was Diggs starting to be a problem in Buffalo, or is this a move for cap reasons? Seems like a terrible return for him.

Basically, Diggs was doing the same thing in Buffalo that he was doing in Minnesota - complaining about not being targeted enough. He never explicitly said he wanted out, but it was pretty clear that he was unhappy and would welcome a trade.

What is it about the WR position that there are so many divas?

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Kiriloff, Buxton, and Jeffers produce for the Twins. Correa had a great catch. Relief did their job.

Hope Kiriloff can stay healthy - love his swing.

Also, Morneau is starting to enter Walz territory for me. Former player I really liked becoming extremely annoying...

 

[Wabit]

I'm going to get a Chourio shirt at some point this year. I see why the Brewers gave him that huge (8 year $82m) contract to a kid that just turned 20.

 

[TaLoN]

You have a position where the best players only touch the ball 8-10 times/gm, yet are talked about like they are the one player a defense needs to be concerned with... thus you get over inflated egos.

QB, WR, RB, TE are your fantasy players as well. So, their names will come up more often with fans.

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Well Walker Jenkins left his first minor league game yesterday due to injury. While I don't think it's going to be long, three players I was most excited to see start their seasons are out. Lewis is out for the main team. Brooks Lee is out. And now their best prospect Jenkins is out.

I guess if you're a top prospect for the twins of the last decade, you just automatically get injured.

 

[Sad People]

Caitlin Clark is annoying as crap. She reminds me of Luka always complaining to the refs for calls.

Wonder if another pity part will be thrown for Iowa after another natty loss.

It's all of basketball - pros and college. Every single whistle has someone complaining at the refs. It's gotten out of hand and makes it nearly unwatchable.

I guess I don’t really agree with this but to each their own. It seems like every other play Luka is running in transition with his arms out wide looking at the refs and it just get annoying to watch and I don’t find myself seeing other players doing it nearly as often.

I watch very little NBA, but that has always felt like a problem to me. Ant seems to complain every time he turns it over or misses a shot.

I watch very little basketball as well maybe 5-10 regular season games then the playoffs. For whatever reason it’s always stood out to me when I’ve watched Luka and then Caitlin Clark and I’ve noticed it very little else where but maybe I could do a better job at keeping an eye out for it.

 

[TaLoN]

I watch very little basketball because the modern game barely resembles what basketball is supposed to be.

The traveling was getting bad in the 90's, but now it's downright ridiculous.
