    good luck on the grey areas in the 'hip-drop tackle' rule-change proposal

    Edit, up top, might have helped. 'Source' I didn't fuck with but link still works. Sorry for any woe-is-whoever BS. Keeping things in perspective is deeper than I can fathom.

    good luck on the grey areas in the 'hip-drop tackle' rule-change proposal

    Glad to see some people still alive, here. I've had too much family and friends (and even my only ever pet cat) shirking their responsibility, in this regard. Mighta made me a bit of a bitter, lonely fuck, but I probably had that in my back pocket even before said recent chaos. I mostly...

    good luck on the grey areas in the 'hip-drop tackle' rule-change proposal

    Looking for someone to change my mind. Shoulda wasted this 11 min before post, but this didn't help: While I am related to Simms' neaighbours, Herb and Jane, I'm not sold. The crucial threshold influence of 'egregious,' mentioned post-7min--can be a head-scratcher. These same guys will...

    good luck on the grey areas in the 'hip-drop tackle' rule-change proposal

    I need a new computer or it appears this way for all? I see most all crossed out, on my perusal. 5 more months of nothingness, beyond more Sound of Silence from the coming Leafs playoff trip. I dunno. Enjoy the tune.

    good luck on the grey areas in the 'hip-drop tackle' rule-change proposal

    I love this paragraph from the story at espn, According to competition committee chairman Rich McKay, the proposed rule was written to address only a subset of the rugby tackling style that has spread around the NFL in recent years. It calls for a 15-yard penalty if a defender grabs the runner...

    more fun with analytics

    I'm just re-watching the 49ers@Rams game from Sunday. Out of curiosity, right at the point where the Rams are up 17-0 and then Garoppolo throws an INT on the next drive (2nd quarter, 3:43 left in the half), I opened up espn's gamecast page to see what win% they gave the Rams, at that point. I...

    the concreteness of arbitrary analytics

    list of players having great games then immediately testing positive for Covid

    I know there have been others. Two recent come to mind, for me. Sometimes this has been a Sunday game followed by a positive test on Monday. Help me out with this list if one comes to mind. Travis Kelce Tyreek Hill Odell Beckham Jr I remembered that Hill just got the word today. Pretty...

    Is there a site available for historical in-game line movement?

    I know there are sites available for standard line movement, showing daily and/or hourly line movements. I can't find the same for in-game line movements. I suspect such might not exist. I haven't been betting much since pandemic pandemonium first fucked us. Still, I continue to watch a...

    All or Nohing--Toronto Maple Leafs

    I have only watched the first two, of five, episodes but I can't contain myself and herein seems as good a place as any. I may append the following comments once I have managed to suffer through the final three episodes. There is little that I can praise but I must begin by saying that the...

    QB runs for a first down, out of bounds, and clock left running-rule change I missed?

    Happened in the game I'm currently watching. Mahomes scrambles ob, 3rd and 7 at the Clev 36, at 10:31 I presume the clock kept running by mistake, but it seems unusual. Not going to affect the outcome, but that's besides the point. If anybody else caught that, and can explain, I'd dig it...

    Inside Game (2019) - Tim Donaghy - reality or fantasy?

    Did a search but I can't find any comments on the film. I now have a chance to watch it but I'm not majorly anxious. From my understanding, this film is based on Donaghy's side of the story. If memory serves, in interviews he generally claims both coercion and ignorance as defenses. If any...

    At least one Canadian province has implemented $1,000 fines for sharing car ride

    I spoke to a good bud last night. He's currently in Calgary, Alberta. He told me of one of his kids getting stopped in a car, while with someone else. Because the two don't live together, apparently, the were each issued a $1,000 fine. Best confirming evidence I could fine was something like...

    a couple of ultra-brief reviews of virus-related books

    Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic by David Quammen 2012 This books wasn't bad. A decent review of some of the history and the categories of 'zoonotic' transmissions (transmission between species, which seems to be a serious problem, based on the text). I heard the...

    What past sporting events is anyone watching to fend off insanity (or otherwise)

    Probably a bunch of "none"s out there, which is fine. I experienced a desperate void and I've been trying to watch some older events to keep me satisfied, to some small degree. I do this more that the average human, anyways--watch past, recorded games--but usually I have some freakin' events...

    Gee, this is encouraging (not)

    Our current planetary status isn't affecting me as adversely as many. The concern that's juggling my marbles is the over-arching anxiety that this current situation presents; this likely holds for most people, as while the end of this seems inevitable it certainly does not appear imminent. I...

    question for any experienced Malwarebytes user

    From my experience, most of the time that it found anything was at the tail-end of its scan, doing what it called its 'heuristic' analysis. When I've used it lately, it doesn't do this final process; it just scans the files, stops, and then tells me it found nothing. I ask because I suspect...

    Grand Canyon final score mystery

    I'm seeing 64-61 at cbs. Same at espn, claiming that Jovan Blacksher Jr. made a couple of free throws at the very end. ncaa dot com claims the final was 62-61. Not the first time I've seen WRONG finals posted there. I would assume, by the name...you know... Maybe somebody can drop word. I...
