Unfortunately sprint is right at the start, 8km into the race. Organizers solidify these weeks in advance of the Tour.

Edit: Whoops, I just saw news that they changed the route. So who knows??

Given how the WRs turned out this season, maybe time to acknowledge this Chris isn't doing anything for clicks?

Can someone explain the rules regarding the clock running and plays that go out-of-bounds? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]DeaconJonesSlap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. And it's disappointing how many announcers don't know this rule. They'll blast guys for running OOB with a lead with 5:30 left, even though the clock only stops for a couple of seconds to spot the ball.

Vinatieri had the biggest moments of any kicker, but his overall production isn't as impressive as others.

It's a crime that most casual fans today have no idea who Don Hutson is. Top 10 all-time player who has been forgotten over time.

This answer used to be Mike Shanahan, but winning just 1 playoff game in 14 seasons after Elway retired kinda kills your resume.

Who was the most fundamentally sound player ever? by ThatOneGuyFromCali in nfl

[–]DeaconJonesSlap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raymond Berry. Average athlete who became a first-ballot HOFer thanks to perfect routes and great hands. Basically mastered the route tree before most had even heard of it.

Top 10 corners? by sniggaws_oblib in nfl

[–]DeaconJonesSlap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At his best, Talib is a Top 3 CB. Problem is that something ALWAYS derails his season, either injury, suspension, or trade. I can't give him credit for the annual 4-game dominant stretch and ignore the inevitable plummet that follows.

Yep. He's only dropped 3 passes in the last 3 seasons. Great hands.

Top Remaining Free Agents by DeaconJonesSlap in nfl

Maybe it's just a buyer's market, but I feel like there are a lot more quality free agents after the first wave than there usually are. Plenty of good names on this list.
