doesnt care*

Point is about whether someone's skin color goes into making a decision about drafting or not.

NFL is probably the worst of all the big professional sports leagues for racial discrimination still.

I haven't personally, but my uncle had and this was the diagnostic he gave. The issue is he doesn't have the time to actually run it down and fix it.

She wants to just have a shop figure it out and get it fixed. So was mostly looking for recommendations for good wiring folks in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge/Maryville area.

Oh okay my bad.

Todays “gimmick”
Is tomorrows revolution.
I remember hearing a story about the old wishbone offense never having a wr. Then one day a team put a guy out in a wr spot. No one covered him and he caught it and scored.

That running game isn’t no more a gimmick than the offense is. It’s 11 on 11, either stop them or get scored on. I guess they are going to call our D a gimmick to in the coming years. Heupel wants our O to be able to do it all, to get the best matchup. It’s not about being pass or run heavy it’s about working you over and finding the weak spot. Gimmicks don’t last, our offense is built on being good at everything. That is no gimmick. GBO!

Gimmick is such a misnomer for what our team does. A gimmick is a trick or device intended to attract attention. It implies it's for show rather than effectiveness.

Whatever else Heupel's offense is, it's highly effective. Not for show at all.

Even if it's true it wouldn't work in the NFL (I'm not entirely convinced) I still wouldn't describe it as a gimmick.

I know it gets said sometimes but what evidence do you have of that?

I think Heupel's offense should make his QBs/OL more desirable. If you can make those reads and figure out assignments in a constant tempo then you can do it even easier when slowed down.

That doesn't happen in the "Timber's Cork Ball League"

Worst potato chip flavor ever. I can't believe someone actually tasted this and thought it would be a good idea to sell it (I thought I picked up bbq chips, ). . . kinda like watching Will Levis and thinking "this guy is incredible". . .

Can't say I can recall a similar type of lawsuit against the MLB or NBA in recent memory.

I really relate to the "I love dogs more than humans", but I also have anger issues, and I do have a serious dislike for stupid people.

I you run rule a team and end the game in fewer innings and have given up no hits, is it still considered a "no-hitter", since the game ended early?

they'll find a way to designate it, like they do with everything else in baseball

He was 24-25 in 3 seasons with no playoff appearances…. It’s not like he was winning big… he also sued the nfl…. Still got employed and is now the defensive coordinator for the Vikings…. Here is a good article on why black head coaches have not succeeded… Mike Tomlin keeps getting trotted out there by my Steelers and he hasn’t won a playoff game in years…. I am a fan of his but he needs to get it done soon.

Why Black head coaches lost ground in NFL, and what teams should know when hiring

Brian Flores is 4th in winning % for the Dolphin among coaches with more than 1 season as HC though... 24 wins is 5th all time in franchise history for HC there and 11 of his 25 losses were in his first season.

To comment that Tomlin needs to get it done when he's 2nd all time in wins and 1st all time in winning % for the Steelers is crazy...

Honest question.............

Is this the greatest single game performance in sports history?
I mean, what else is even close?

Where can I get this for my husband???

He tried to get me to share with y’all yesterday his T-shirt that has a gun on the front saying “this is a tool” then on the back says “I am the weapon.” He thought y’all would appreciate that. Then he asked me if he could wear it to work today. Told him probably not a good idea.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I found a shirt for @InVOLuntary .

He needs this one too lol.

I’m no tshirt designer but that just seems like a lot on one shirt. It’s almost like someone had five ideas but only enough budget to get one shirt design printed.

No, that’s my husband’s biography.
