NFL Off Topic

Re: NFL Off Topic

I don’t mind it when the turnover is in or right near the end zone, but when they have to run 40 yards to get there it’s a bit overkill.

Don’t they have cameras on the sideline too? In cases like this I’m like “Why don’t y’all fools just run to the sidelines instead of sprinting to the opposite end of the field?”

Re: NFL Off Topic

All of those choreographed full team celebrations are about as uncool and dumb as you can get. I'd rather have TO doing the mime over this.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I’m not a big fan of the team celebration either, but I really hate how dudes that weren’t even involved in the turnover turn out.

It’s cool when the guy that made the int poses and people stand next to him, but you’ll always have those one or two random guys that get right in front of the camera smh

Since I was born in Baltimore and don't have an NFL team...I'm 100% on the Lamar Jackson bandwagon.

GO RAVENS!

That dude is ridiculous and whatever scheme they have rolling is looking pretty damn unstoppable. One thing I don't see mentioned often, although I admittedly don't watch too much sports TV, is that Lamar seems to have amazing protection. Shout out to big Ronnie Stanley holding down the blindside, Go Irish!

One thing I love seeing from Lamar is his read progression. Like on QB I recently saw play (Kyle Allen) was atrocious with his reads. Literally stared down every first target and it was so painfully obvious where he was going with every pass. They won the game on the back of CMC.

Anyways it's really fun to watch Lamar do his thing and I'm hoping the Ravens go win the Super Bowl.

Lamar is a “do something” player. He goes through his reads and if he decides to run he runs. He doesn’t prolong plays and I love it.

Can’t tell you how frustrated I get watching some QBs and I have to yell at the TV for them to do something just for them to eventually take a sack

NFL Off Topic

Is Ryan Tannehill good? Titans been rolling since he came in.

Change of scenery helping? His career numbers aren’t bad by any means, always been around a .500 record (never much worse, but never much better). Disappointing from a 1st round QB, of course.

Seems to me he’s just getting it done. First comparison that comes to mind is Case Keenum when he was in Minnesota. Surrounded by the right players and coaches, playing in the right offense, they made the NFC title game. Tannehill has a bit more of the physical attributes than Keenum, he’s running a bit more and surprisingly well. Basically, he’s doing everything Mariota should’ve been doing at a consistent level in Tennessee.

Gotta admit, I’ve been waiting for a Rich Gannon style late career resurgence. That was a bit longer career before he found his groove in Oakland, though only 3 years older.

They can play themselves right in to an AFC South division title as they see the Colts again before playing division-leading Houston two times in the final three weeks. It really is looking like it’s going to come down to the results of those games.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Cardinals' Josh Shaw suspended through at least 2020 season for betting on NFL games.

The NFL said its investigation didn't uncover any evidence indicating that Shaw used inside information or that any games were "compromised in any way." The league said that there was no evidence that any of Shaw's teammates, coaches or players on other teams were aware of Shaw's betting activity.

Those are all interesting questions, but if you are a professional athlete and you are going to bet, the 1st rule is don't bet on your own sport.

I don't understand this though? Why not?

I work for a bank, I'm allowed to buy stock (and do) with competing banks.

I don't have insider information, I know my competitors strengths and weaknesses. I don't see why that would be considered to be taboo?

That's where this comes in: La esposa del César no solo debe ser honesta, sino parecerlo.

Which translate to: Caesar's wife must be above suspicion (sounds much sharper in Spanish).

Stock trading isn't betting (don't laugh). And betting is still taboo to many (not me). It is about the appearance of propriety.

You want to play in the NFL, you should forego the chance on betting in that sport while actively participating in it, that's not a high burden.

At least that's how I see it.

Let Rose in!

On that one we disagree my friend. All his memorabilia is in the Hall, but Rose shall never be let in.

Let it serve as an eternal reminder to all baseball players: don't bet on baseball.
