Just saw where ESPN reporter Holly Rowe's cancer has come back and is spreading. She has Melanoma. She is one of the best sideline reporters during football season. Really sad news.

That is really a shame... Holly was the real deal, not just one of these pretty faces we see that have been prepped.. she knew her 'ish...

Y'all want to knock a kicker but every team needs a good one.


I know of 3-4 wins we should have had over the past 4 years

I agree. I think overall the kicking game should be a winning edge for us outside of Medley. He just hasn't been consistent enough IMO. He could be the difference in a couple ball games this year.

So with how these NBA Playoffs have been going so far, has Lebron finally completely left humanity behind?

Although I've thought for a while now that LBJ was already #2 behind MJ, I could understand people's arguments for putting some other all-time greats before him. Once Lebron captures the all-time playoff points record and if he wins the Championship versus this Warriors team, I believe the realm of legend that only MJ exists in will have another resident.

Honestly I've moved on to hoping Cimaglia just shows up and takes over at this point.

Medley just hasn't shown he can be depended on for anything over 40 yards. He's money on kickoffs, usually. But I don't think he's ever going to be a weapon for us in the FG department.

Even if he does all that, people will find one reason or another to try and knock him down a few pegs lower than he should be.

What's funny to me is how much criticism he gets for his persona in general on and off the court despite being by pretty much all accounts a fairly down to earth and likeable guy.

Meanwhile MJ is a pretty despicable person off the court and always got passes for it because he was so good. If he'd played in the twitter era, he'd have gone down as one of the biggest NBA villains of all time.

His mechanics have been all over the place in 3 years. Can't be consistent with his style.

Those misses in Tuscaloosa still haunt me. We should have won that game.

Florida granted 52 yards but he has an all world leg...

Big miss against Oklahoma while up 17 🤢.

Those are the big ones. There are some other ones that would have changed games as well. (But honestly, I can forgive him for the UF kick)

If he doesn't miss against Arky in 2015, then all we have to do on the last drive of that game is get back into FG dame instead of score a TD.

Missing against Vandy last season may not have changed too much since we still would've had to score and convert a 2 point conversion but still put more pressure on the team as a whole.

I'd love to see him put it all together in 2016 and finally live up to his potential, but I'm not really expecting much from him.

Very good posts by Darth here last night. Agree on all including the Lebron post.

Agree. MJ was an incredible talent but a pretty piss poor off the court personality. LBJ is just as talented on the court and from all reports, a dedicated family man off the court. I hope that is true because I hate when role models turn out to be slime balls.
