normally, yes, but the Fox group that owns the Dodgers, much like what is seeming to be like the Mets, don't care about how high payroll is and figure they will make a lot back by marketing Ohtani. Again, not sure he will be the same pitcher again, but we shall see.

at least, and they still haven't really addressed their pitching depth. As an Angel fan, sad to see him go, but honestly, they could never afford him at that price. And I wonder if any incentives on his pitching built in. As has been noted, 2nd tommy john surgery in same arm.

I would be shocked if anyone would take Stanton and his contract at this point. He will be DH. They also picked up Grisham, who is a very good defensive outfielder to be the 4th one and late defensive replacement.

Do those work for the alignment chart?

Problem is, as my brother has pointed out, that Bama has 1 loss AND 3 wins against unranked teams in the last 2 minutes. They really don't deserve to be there.

Sorry to hear that, as I found the movie enjoyable, for the most part. I guess the surprise I had was that the main villain has Ronan's Universal Weapon, which I thought was destroyed in GOTG 1. You could say isn't his, but it has the purple energy and hole from where he inserted the Power Stone.

And once again a prevent defense prevents their team from winning a game. Whole game they had Fields throwing ball erratically by pressure, so when game on line, stop rushing him.

Hmm, reminds me of another San Diego team from this year.

Yeah, but wasn’t the first incident with Punk. He had literally just returned after the stuff with Omega and the Bucks. Also, Perry hasn’t worked since then either.

Our 2 afternoon games were Raiders/Chiefs (Raiders led 14-0 after 1st qtr) and were trailing 30 to 17 when I gave up. Other game was the aforementioned Browns/Broncos. Up here near Sacramento we must be considered Raiders territory still, otherwise there is no explanation why anyone wouldn't have put the Bills/Eagles game as the major game of the day.

WOW, given everything that happened in AEW and previously in WWE, I am shocked they brought him back. Wonder how long till he sabotages himself again. On a side note, one of the things I mentioned that I liked about AEW before was that even their heel announcers (mainly Taz and Jericho) did real analysis and didn't come of as idiots. When someone cheated or was doing something stupid in their story-lines, they would agree but say sometimes that's what you have to do. They then hired Nigel Mcguiness to co host Saturday nights. He does the exact opposite. He is the classic "I didn't see anything the Heel did" analyst and in addition, when everyone else is pointing out the falseness of a story-line, in story, he argues for it (see the Christian Cage as a great Father, Jay White is the real champion after stealing the belt or Strong faking his neck injury). He bothers me so much that it takes me out of the show. As I said, I don't mind heels as analysts, but willful ignorance from an announcer like this seems dumb. I thought we had gotten past this type of announder.

true, to some extent, except its an Avengers without Steve or Tony and maybe Thor or the full powered Hulk.

Sadly, I think that had more to do with the fact no one really knew that was Bruce's mom's name. I had forgotten it.

You forgot Silver Surfer was part of that. I have always joked when people start talking about most powerful teams that the original defenders were pretty much it. Ultimate energy blaster, Ultimate Brick, Ultimate Mental/Magic. Namor is specialty, but as we all know, a power unto his own.

Not true, there is one in Placerville, I know, have had breakfast there many times.

So, Dr. Evil has arrived in a future ruled by Apes.

As I said, not a good example, as that defender was beaten. but how many of that type of PI have you seen that the defender wasn't beaten, maybe half step behind the receiver as they ran and the throw takes WR into the defender and causes PI because the defender didn't turn around.

First thought I had was cactus, not dill. then I can't seem to take my eyes of the 2nd from right's lip.

I don't disagree with you and that was probably a bad one to mention against, as you are correct. I just am tired of QBs beginning to learn to throw the ball short for PI, which I know some do. Sadly, if Wilson could have thrown the ball that far, was probably a TD as the WR had 3 steps or something on the defender. I just look at it from the defenders point of view. they cant touch a receiver and if the guy gets by them, there is no way they can stay with them and look back. Really good receivers won't look back or reach for ball till last second specifically to keep defender from doing so.

I really hate that pass interference type of call. Who is really initiating contact, the receiver slowing up into the defender or the defender trying to catch up. It's kind of ridiculous that a bad thrown ball almost always results in this. Buffalo fired their OC. Not sure it's his fault the receivers don't seem to catch the ball anymore or that Allen can't seem to throw like he did before. I really wonder if he has a hand injury, as he doesn't seem to have the same zip he did.

now occurs to me joke works if father says plays with dolphins.

Or were hoping he would bring Taylor with him.

Funnily, I kept thinking he would end up a trainer for the Miami Dolphins, which feels like would work too.

God I miss real Nyquil when I'm sick.

IIRC, when the Chargers were up 21-3, the offensive stats for both teams, yardage wise, was pretty much the same. Difference in game was Chargers took ball away and Jets didn't get any of the fumbles they caused. This game was painful to watch, honestly.
