OT: The Other Sports Thread Part X - MLB back?

[GoodKiwi]

Looks like another loss on a game ending play for the Niners.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Two TDs for the Falcons in the last 2 seconds of the game.

 

[peate]

I didn't see the Niner's game, but I guess they went all Habs today and played down to the Falcons.

 

[GoodKiwi]

SEA/SF/GB all clinch a playoff birth. NO already had their division locked down.

It is down to either DAL or PHI for the NFC East crown and there's a slim chance MIN could concede their spot to LAR.

Everyone else in the NFC has been eliminated.

 

[GoodKiwi]

We want 539 from Brees tonight!

 

[GoodKiwi]

Kamara has been absolute dog shit this season. Remember just how disinterested he looked in the game vs SF. Wonder what is the reason for that, as he's been an electric player for NO prior to this year.

 

[peate]

That's one, 2 to go.

 

[peate]

There's #2, tied with Manning.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Booger is high if he thinks that was an obvious OPI to deny Brees (for now) his record setting TD pass. But, to his defense, Booger might always be high during MNF broadcasts.

 

[peate]

Was an iffy call. But what a QB clinic he's putting on.

 

[peate]

That one counted. 540 TD passes. a new NFL record.(for now) Brady still in it at 538.

 

[GoodKiwi]

540!

Breaks his career high for straight completions at 20 too. He's playing lights out!

 

[GoodKiwi]

I can now turn the game off. Colts rolled over a long time ago.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Apple has been terrible pretty much since he started his first game for the NYG. Jenkins (also from the Giants) picked up today should address their obvious weakness at CB for the playoffs.

 

[peate]

Another first for women. When aim matters.

Kind of annoying, but not the end of the world.

An overrated part of the spectacle. Besides, they're all on Youtube anyway.

It's been quite a few SB since I've stopped caring about the commercials AND the half time show TBH. They are a pretty big part of the experience for a lot of people though so I get how this could pissed some people off.

For sure. They're still fun to watch, IMO. I'm not going to go out of my way to watch ads on YouTube, but I'll watch them on TV.

Jennifer Lopez and Shakira doing the halftime show in February? Well, okay then. I'm not a fan of their music, but they should at least put on a good spectacle.

Don't follow basket that much, a little, so...what,s the story with Tacko Fall? Why all that commotion of him playing?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

NFL on a saturday afternoon always feels so weird to me.

Celtics' Tacko Fall puts up career high after Boston crowd begs Brad Stevens to put him in vs. Pistons
He's a nice cinderella story to make it short, a bit like Jeremy Lin but without the Jesus stuff (or Tim Tebow, ditto the Jesus stuff). Plus his name is funny and we're living in a meme world now.

A sure sign it's getting near post season.

 

[GoodKiwi]

It's unlikely, but I'm sure as heck rooting for Jameis "The Crab Legs" Winston to push hard next week and try to become only the second QB since the 60's to toss for more than 30 INTs in a single season.
