OT: The Other Sports Thread (Titans, Vols, Dores, etc) - Part VIII

So nothing about Mariotta?

 

[BigFatCat999]

T. Brady is gone in New England *shrug* As a Pats fan I’m curious about the future at QB

Probably won't see much of him other than holding a clipboard. But that's what we said about Tannehill here too.

Conklin to the Browns, that'll be strange. I remember thinking that with Lewan and Conklin, working under Munchak that the Titans O-line was going to dominate the league. They were the top rated line one season, but that was before the offense had any other weapons.

There's actually a ton of roster turnover this summer (and next), especially on defense.

Walker and Succop gone, but neither have been a factor recently due to injury.

It'll be interesting to see if the team peaked last season, or if there's a real foundation for success there.

 

[LCPreds]

I'll miss Mariota because he seems like a good dude and I always wanted him to be successful.

I hate having to lose Conklin. He was great last year but also understand that sometimes you have to let players walk.

TSSAA starting tomorrow will only allow approved people into the games, basically means teams, administrators and family only.

Are any spring sports actually playing? Baseball in Rutherford is off until April.

Pretty sure it's mostly been shut down at this point.

If I knew how to embed a meme I'd do Curly Bill's "Well... bye" from Tombstone

My local paper said that MLB is postponed until mid May!

Casey for a 7th?

Hopefully they didn't lose a player like Casey just to sign someone already on the roster.

yeah gonna have to see what's to come.......

“Only” got a 7th because the Titans get completely free from his contract. $13 million each of the next 3 years plus a $5 million roster bonus that was due soon.

I totally get it. But as a fan I'm hoping that money is used to pull someone else in. I imagine it will be.

Agreed. I’ve got faith in Robinson

 

[Gnashville]

Mariota now a Raider

 

[jumb0]

Jadeveon Clowney to the Titans soon.

Chris Johnson suspected for murder for hire. On TMZ sports

Just read about it, crazy story. Also mentioned that he was possibly at least funding, if not running a narcotics ring. Hopefully not true, but also wouldn't be surprising. Not in the article, but in comments I saw, the alleged hitman was also killed at the beginning of this year.

MLB considering radical realignment for 2020 season: Grapefruit and Cactus leagues

So Red Sox and Braves in the same division

The Reds would play the Dodgers and Indians. I would enjoy seeing that!

Except the Reds might have had a chance in the Central but I dont like their chances against the loaded Dodgers

 

[BigFatCat999]

I'm just wondering who the Braves have as DH?

 

[You]

Maybe Marcel Ozuna. Maybe Yonder Alonso. Inciarte, Duvall, and Markakis are 3 options for one OF spot right now, so shifting Ozuna (or one of them) would help there.

I just enjoy seeing the Dodgers lose! They did win 106 games last season, which was disappointing to me.

The Brewers (89 W) would contend for their division, if they played in their "real" division. It is killing my wife that they aren't playing!

St Louis (91 W) is also looking good. They were first last season. The Slubs would battle it out with Pittsburgh for last place.

I got a lot of thumbs down on Yahoo for saying that the Cubs would be third place at best last season. They finished third at 84-78 with only 33 wins on the road, the worst of the 5 teams in their division. Only the Rockies (57 W) and Marlins (71 W) won fewer road games in the NL than the Cubs.
