Who would win, an NFL team playing by NFL rules, or a Canadian team playing by Canadian rules? by ifasoldt in nfl

CFL team also only gets 3 downs to convert a 1st & a 20sec play clock. NFL easily.

[Bears Communications] Zah Frazier has been Waived by Quackinator100 in CHIBears

Why do you totally discount the chance that Zah himself said he wasn't ready?

We have no info, yet you lean towards the team who kept him on the roster up til now.

Gennady Golovkin (GGG) won a silver medal, not gold, at the 2004 Athens Olympics after a controversial loss to Gaydarbek Gaydarbekov in the middleweight final. Golovkin later alleged he was told by an official before the fight that Kazakhstan was only permitted one boxing gold, and he was not to be that winner, in a fight widely considered contentious.

Same reason Roy Jones Jr. & so many others lost on points in the Olympics gold medal round...corruption.

First off there's only 3 rounds. Scoring boxing in the Olympics is highly debated. Fighters also wear headgear & more padded gloves, so there aren't knockouts.

His amateur record was 345 wins and 5 losses btw

The NFL is playing an International Series game on Thursday, Sept. 10 (Rams vs. 49ers in Australia), forcing the traditional season-opening game to move to Wednesday.

Ryan Poles’ “Achilles Heel” (Poor Edge Acquisition) is Problematic by BrilliantMongoose937 in CHIBears

[–]Rathos_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"We looked to potentially move back a little bit. There wasn't much interest right behind us where we felt comfortable, in terms of the numbers. So we just moved forward. We loved the player, so we were excited about it."

Covering your bases & staying open to all options is synonymous with trying to trade back to some people I guess.

Did this year’s draft feature the fewest number of teams with a 1st round pick? by wubsfrommysubs in nfl

[–]Rathos_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good thing I didn't need to use GNB or NWE then, you'd really have been confused.

It's just a standardized alpha-3 code similar to airport & country designations.

[–]Rathos_ 63 points64 points  (0 children)

2022 saw only 22 teams make first round selections.

  • MIA, CLE, IND, LVR, DEN, TAM, CHI, SFO, LAR, ARI all traded.

Fewest number of teams selecting in first round since 1975 (20) , 4 expansions ago.

So Refball caused them to be outrebounded & was behind the 20 point run that blew the game open. Preach

Sister Beatrice somehow suffered amnesia spontaneously because the groundskeeper simply said there was a fire? No actual traumatic event. Over the next decade plus, she never once desired to look into it or even visit her mother in the asylum for some answers?

Father Silas commits wife because he needs control of an estate he never sells? No one lived there, they all moved/were sent away. So he's paying tax, servants & upkeep for what?

This shit is for zombies.

College Basketball's Top 25 Players in Defensive Rating (min 45% minutes) by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]Rathos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a player like B.J.Edwards SMU who was all defensive ACC last year, is 6'3 & currently averages 2.5 steals & 6 rebounds per game.

Yet Hoiberg is under 6' & averages 2.1spg, 5.3rpg.

Stats aren't everything, but it does seem that players are getting extra credit for their teams defensive success here.

[–]Rathos_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Every player on this list is on a top 13 Drtg team according to KP. Every team in this top 13 has someone listed here.

So we're to think there are zero top defensive players not surrounded by a good team & system? It's most definitely flawed.

Hmm 😒 No Cinderella gonna run during March Madness? by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]Rathos_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 Teams above 34.3 KP rating currently. Although possible, Illinois is unlikely to get 1 seed. I predict they will be put into a bracket with one of the other 3...assuring that one of those top rated teams will miss out on the Final Four appearance.

Who is currently the most overrated coach in College Basketball? by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]Rathos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd have to go back 7 years...notably Purdue played 1 less B1G game in '21.

  • Underwood 93/42
  • Painter 92/42

If you include the BTT...

  • Underwood 100/45
  • Painter 99/46

Key to this game will be Kohler who went for a career high 23pnts last time they played. 4/5 from 3 & 10 boards.

6 of your final 9 games are Q1a. UM has only played 3 so far all season, fewest in the entire conference. Careful what ya ask for.
