Lousy end.

But there were credible predictions we would still suck this year, so good season.

[big'ol_freeper]

LIfe is good

Lookin' for one more

[Enterprise]

The ball hit the left upright, but could it at least continue through? Nooooooooooo. Then it hit the crossbar, so could it at least fall out of the endzone? Nooooooooooooo.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Boston Braves 8 or so championships are lost to history. Includes 1914 WS.

Truth

[big'ol_freeper]

I know where you can find a kicker. Not too far away either. Justin Yoon.

[Red Badger]

Well, I was HALF RIGHT......................

[Red Badger]

The Bears need a new kicker.

They can get Seattle's kicker for a good price.................

[Jim W N]

Well, if it weren’t for that “double doink” we’d still have the Bears’ best defense in football in the mix.

Ravens, Chargers fans fight in stands during NFL playoff game

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/ravens-chargers-fans-right-in-stands-during-nfl-playoff-game

Hard to tell if that’s a cop or a Raven’s fan that’s taking a tumble with the Charger’s fan.

[ro_dreaming]

Well, I voted with my heart on the Texans game, and that bit me in the as$.

So, lesson learned.

Thanks again Impy - appreciate the work you’ve done for this. Even if we are traitors to our kind :-)

[trisham]

:)

[Impy]

I like that idea. I hope he clears the draft, I don’t know if they’d spend a pick on kicker.

Parkey’s bloated contract is an issue though.

[Palio di Siena]

John Unitas ended his career playing for the Chargers.

Anybody watching Bama vs. Clemson?

So far good stuff.

Here’s the matchup: (Bama takes it.)

***Scoring***
#1 Scoring Team in college football: Bama
#2 Scoring Team in college football: Clemson
Bama- best team in College Football - but close.

Bama: #2 Offensive Scoring
Clemson: #2 Defensive Scoring
Even when Bama has the ball.

Clemson: #5 Offensive Scoring
Bama: #4 Defensive Scoring
Edge to Bama when Clemson has the ball

***Yardage***
Bama Offense: 2 in Pass, 18 in Run
Clemson Defense: 28 against pass, 1 against the run
Bama should pass almost all the time.

Clemson Offense: 31 in Pass, 1 in Run
Bama Defense: 11 against Pass, 16 against Rum
Clemson should run almost all the time.

Bama takes it.

[Bender2]

BTW I picked ‘Bama in the College Championship game as I cannot stand the college my mother’s 3rd ex-husband attended and he was a real A-Hole from the git-go!

[darkangel82]

21-16 Clemson 2nd quarter.

[Rummyfan]

So far, it’s a shootout.

[Jim W N]

I’m complete surprised. I thought Bama was going to blow them away. Makes for what may be a pretty good 2nd half.

[Impy]

Wow, Bama is getting wrecked.
