OT: All Non-Hockey Sports Talk (2019-20 edition)

[Prominence Problem]

O’Brien is a moron. They don’t go for it on 4th and a foot, settling for a FG to go up 24-0, but he goes for a fake punt in his own side of the field. They should have doubled both Hill and Kelce, and let the rest of the skill players beat them. Terrible game plan defensively.

I heard it today, you don't beat Kansas City by kicking field goals.

 

[Prominence Problem]

I mean the Houston punishment is crazy, but well deserved. I hope MLB follows it up with something for the Red Sox, as cheating in baseball, sign stealing in particular, is so wrong.


Just about as wrong as what I heard today that my Blue Jays are bringing back their powder blue jerseys.

Just saw the home and road splits of the 2017 world champion Houston Astros, when they were accused of sign stealing. Oh boy, is there a difference there!

Not sure how the baseball can punish people for gambling or doing steroids, but let this this Championship stand. It's a disgrace really.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Aaaand the Red Sox just axed Alex Cora.

Don't know man, these are pretty sweet with the black lid imo.
Throwback with some added black to the numbers/name plate.
Think they wanted to give the new budding core their own branding and homage to the 92-93 Champs.
Either way, absolutely pumped for these next 4-5 years. Don't see why we can't chase a WC spot this year.






On another topic, hope you can beat TEN and we (@Ghoste ) will meet you in the SB.

No, I will admit, they don't look half bad. For some reason I had in my head the 07? Powder blues that they tried to bring back, and I hated those! I actually like these better than the pure Royal blues that they wore. I never liked those as much, possibly just because the colour didn't look good on me. I really enjoyed the White, and the greys weren't bad either. Hopefully they don't take the greys out of rotation now. My favourite blue jay Jersey I owned is a grey Brett Cecil #27. He is my all-time favourite blue jay, mostly because we're Birthday Twins to the exact same day, same year (so you can figure out exactly how old I am.)

As for tomorrow, I'm obviously biased, but I see Tennessee getting destroyed, even worse than Houston.
As for the Niners, I feel the NFL is going to do everything in their power to have a rematch of Super Bowl I, Chiefs versus Packers, in their 100th year. I do feel though that the Niners are the better team, so I'm torn right now on who to bet. But a Niners Chiefs Super Bowl would be very entertaining.

These new powder blues are the alternate so may only see them maybe 15-20 games in the year. I probably wouldn't like it as much without the black lid or numbers/pipings/name.

Good call. My sports conspiracy brain knows they want that 100th year rematch. Titans go as far as Henry and Tannehill take them. Can they keep up with the Mahomes point machine, think the dark horse glory story will be snuffed out.

Just feel the Pack will need Rodgers to have a career/legacy defining type game. He is definitely capable even at his age but I dont think people realize how suffocating our defense is play after play. Curious how it plays out for both games. Still believe it'll be KC vs SF though, two young teams will put on a show. Once Brady and Brees went out, its the young man's game now. Rodgers will be the 3rd old man out

Enjoy!

I was really confident about winning against Minnesota & Green Bay. But I'm not really confident in beating the offensive juggernaut Kansas City has. Feels like we'll need to play the best game ever and Mahomes has to suck to win. But here's hoping. Good luck bud!

Funny, I felt very confident as well the last two games, but I'm getting bad vibes about the Super Bowl matchup already. The Chiefs can't be giving up these early spots to the opposition against the Niners. I feel like that's a team that would be very hard to come back against.

All in all, I think it's going to be a Great Super Bowl. Best of luck.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

@PantherboyHTR and @Ghoste

Should be a barn burner!
Pure offense vs pure defense with some X factors in there.
Can't wait! Both these teams are built for the next 3-4 years too.

It's amazing how long, and the amount of quality content they have gotten out of the salad cat meme lol.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Just realized, happy Martin Luther King jr. Day everyone!
That means Raptors at 2:30, Pistons at 2, and Red Wings at 3.

Chiefs went to the Super Bowl yesterday, and party continues on today. Got to love it!

Wild! Especially since he got passed by LeBron for number 3 on the all-time scoring list last night.

A good friend of mine would probably be his number one fan. This is horrible.

I can’t believe it.

One of his daughters confirmed was with him.

So f***ing devastating. As someone who is about to become a dad...that makes me hurt.

Yeah some ass**** on ABC said all of his daughters were on the aircraft. It sounded like he misspoken, but still, it was just terrible because that info took off afterwards. So unfortunate.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Players in the Raptors - San Antonio game right now totally look like their heads are elsewhere.

I heard in the Houston - Denver game players are crying on the bench.

Remember watching the 81 pt game live and watching the Lakers tear it up through my teen/early 20's years.
We're so blessed and lucky to have seen Jordan, Bryant and James in our lifetime.

This commercial always makes me laugh
What a legendary man and player!




Also, Congrats on becoming a father!

Games should be cancelled today. Lakers found on on their flight home from Philly. Madison Square Garden changed the lights outside to the purple and gold. Neymar thre gestured the number 24 after scoring tonight. The NBA is a North American league, but it’s a worldwide sport. This has devastated the whole world.

Congrats Puma on the baby!

Poor kid too. Dying at 13 is just terrible. I mean, I wasn’t even a big basketball fan but this just pure shock.
