The Sports Random Thought Thread

I'm surprised there was no live posting here during the super bowl. Perhaps there aren't many members interested in football.

Man, shame I haven't been active on the forum lately. I had many thoughts during that Super Bowl.

I met my friend's GF, a die-hard Eagles fan, for the first time that Super Bowl at an Eagles watch party. Man, that was a raucous night but so much fun.

I really like zero fucks Jack at the Lakers games.

I'm reminded of how I have this Jack Nicholson impression that is intentionally terrible, but I feel like it's too meta to unleash on anyone besides my own family.

Fuck ratings. I'm excited about the Denver-Miami Finals.

And I know @Stigmata must be happy LeBron's not in them.

I'm not clear on whether not the White Sox suck this year.

Well their spelling sucks every year, The White Socks are due for a good folding eventually.

I wonder what that's even about. Boston does it too.

They're no Oakland A's, you can take some consolation in that.

Oh me too. And the Boston tears are delightful.

Any day Bill Simmons and Dave Portnoy cry over their team's performance is a good day.

1. Denver repeat.
2. Zidane is soccer's goat and it's not even close.
3. 100 pt NBA record will be broken within 10 years.

Also, imagine being the Cleveland Browns and trading your #1 overall pick, plus 3 first-roud picks, all while completely tarnishing his character in the press on his way out the door, to trade for a with over 20 civil cases, AND you pay the guy a record contract at the time, only for him to be worse than the guy who he replaced after taking two years off.

At this point, I think the Baker Mayfield thing worked out exceedingly well for Tampa Bay.

Tampa was easily the best spot a journeyman QB could end up, and I hope he does well and is able to become a long-term solution for the Buccs.

I've been Team Baker ever since this event:

To me, he had the perfect bravado and energy for a team like The Browns that were looking to change the fortunes of their franchise. He is one of the very few QBs in the league that doesn't carry himself like a media-trained robot; he actually has a unique personality.

"Peace signs" pale in comparison to the trash talk between offensive and defensive lines. Surely neither the NFL are losing ticket sales nor sponsors pulling ads because players throw the peace sign. These defense guys excel at a rough sport and grab hefty salaries...they can handle a peace sign.

Odell Beckham fined $10,927 for peace sign while running into the end zone

The NFL called Beckham's gesture unsportsmanlike conduct.

I wonder when they'll swap him out with his media trained robot.

I don't know how many times I've heard "The Browns should have kept Baker" in the last several days. As for myself well, the Lions, historically, lose games like the last one against the Bears. But they didn't. It's difficult to process lol.

Lions Baker and Browns oh my.

This is how I enjoy sports. I'll show myself out now. ^_^
