OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread

Say what…I was speaking to prof about the Falcons schedule he posted. The AFC-NFC crossover games are the least meaningful games so unless the Bears are 3-0 or 0-3 it’s almost like an extra 3 weeks of preseason football.

I understand the preference for divisional rivalries, but a dub is a dub in the NFL. There are only 17 opportunities to make hay for a playoff spot.

Not just divisional but then conference games, then the others….when it comes to tiebreaks those are the least meaningful…of course they all matter

It's funny to see the catcher set up to catch the ball outside of the strike zone and not that close to the plate. Funnier still to give Greg Maddux that kind of strike zone.

Angel Hernandez would be proud.

Tom Brady should have endeared himself to those poor tablets he destroyed on the sidelines after he made a bad play.

If you got a reputation as an umpire, regardless, yer doing it wrong.

Ever heard of a great umpire?

Didn’t think so.

Jim Joyce is probably the only umpire I respected. He blew a perfect game and went and found Sanchez and apologized profusely. He couldn’t change the call but he owned up to it. The guy was crying because he felt so bad about that call. Sanchez responded about as nice as you could imagine. That let me know all I needed to know about Joyce. I wish more officials/umps would take it as seriously as he did, instead of thinking they rule over the sport.

I remember that. You’re correct. I know there are plenty of great officials out there. Rarely do they achieve notoriety based on positive circumstances.

Luka leads Mavericks to a win over OKC and Celtics sent Cavaliers home.


Cowboys, Jets and 49ers with 6 primetime games each leads NFL .

This popped up this morning- nine years ago today, on the last weekend of play, Tennessee made the SEC tournament. In addition to a UT win, it took another team to lose for Tennessee to make the tournament.

The improvement has been nice

That’s how it works. If you win the division last year then you play division winners the next year.
