LAD 14-4, very impressive…. we’re only in April and they’re at 32% of their 43 win total from last year

43 fucking wins for Kershaw to finally get his ring….what a joke. That’s a high school season.

Let’s just hope that Kershaw’s childhood buddy doesn’t also need a reduced season to win a championship, because like Kershaw he was a big choker in Detroit in meaningful games.

2020 WS ASTERISK*************

If it’s so easy to win a reduced season, how come the Giants didn’t win it?

When I saw the title of your post, I thought you were talking about Corona beer. LOL.

Anecdotally, it seems to me that Moderna 2nd dose is the one that knocks people over.

I got Pfizer and… shoulder/neck muscle aches on the 2nd shot.

Sorry about that, but the Giants are Satan’s team. You can tell by their colors.

Hey JM thanks for the update and story. Sorry you suffered from shot 2.

My wife got Pfizer and was nauseous for 2 days after shot 2.

I got Moderna and basically had no side effects after shot 2. I think there was a little bit of feeling worn down but nothing bad or even inconvenient.

So a lot of this is personal to our own biologies I guess.

Hey JM, notice that zn (The Contrarian) did not dispute my claim that the Giants are Satan’s team.

And white folks posting, “I can breathe.”

i can’t believe i’m actually going to defend mark davis a billionaire…

but reading the explanation of why he tweeted that. i can understand it. he was echoing the words of george floyd’s brother philonise who apparently said, “we can all breathe again.”

so i can understand why he said it and am not completely aghast. yes. he should know the history behind those words and at least admitted he understood why people would be offended when it was explained to him.

but yeah. i agree. how many times has this happened and it wasn’t filmed?

I know it is said with good intentions. But it’s a bad look when the people who are saying it never have to worry about breathing. That’s for starters. The second thing is that the phrase has a history. It was used by pro-police groups in response to guys like LeBron James wearing “I Can’t Breathe” on t-shirts in warmups after Erik Garner uttered the same goddamn phrase when he was killed for selling loosies. So it is literally a pro-fuck-black-people phrase.

And, again, I know every single white guy who said it, including Mark Davis, meant well, and I don’t even have the slightest doubts about Mark Davis because his dad, Al, and the Raiders organization, have about as sterling a record as any sports franchise I can think of. And Floyd’s family even came out and endorsed the Raiders tweet.

I just would personally be mortified to find out that it was a phrase used by racists, and I would apologize, and take it down. But I’m not outraged by it, don’t get me wrong. Just think it’s a bad look, and kind of shake my head, knowing that it’s going to stir up a bit of momentary resentment in the black community.

Oh, my god.

Alex Smith announced he is retiring

Remember how the 49ers drafted Smith #1 overall, and left local boy Aaron Rodgers for someone else to draft?

I’d like to see similar results from this year’s draft.

I probably missed the irony but…Donald hasn’t assaulted anyone. I mean except for football players. But even then, it’s only offensive football players.

I didn’t read what you posted…so….

I got a push notification on my phone that said a guy claimed Donald assaulted him “for no reason.”

Which…you know…doesn’t really seem likely. And I responded to that here without reading the other articles.

“I got friends that are Muslim.”

I understand Ramswire running the story about Kroenke, but why did CBS Sports run this headline?

Why feature the THIRD richest guy? Jerry Jones and David Tepper are both richer, and Jones has greater notoriety.

I worry about Jefferson’s toughness. Woods and Kupp can take the physical part of the game–I’ve seen signs that Jefferson has some “Isaac Bruce” to him, meaning the part of Bruce that would not take hits or get the best out of physical contact situations.

I always suspected that you hate Isaac Bruce. The only mystery is why it took you so long to express it.

It’s amazing how many Seahawks fans are on this board when it’s such a small board.

Remember when Mike Martz threw a fit when Cris Carter dallied in Cleveland on his way to St. Louis in order to feign interest in other offers in an attempt to drive up the Rams’ desire for him and Martz, in what may be the apex of his hubris, told Carter to go screw himself if he was going to make Martz late for dinner?

Yeah.

I remember that.

The DeSean Jackson signing just reminds me of that even though they have nothing in common apart from they are two WRs near the end of their careers.

Yeah. Mike Martz. Where is old Mike now?
