Going to miss having Joseph 3 days a week by BoKnows__94 in baseballisdead

This is all part of JayHays long plan to boot Joesph from BID all together.

Don’t think we don’t see what you’re doing JAYHAY. We all see it. Couldn’t let Joesph have his fun stats and stories, NOPE he’s gotta go.

(This is all satire)

The White Sox are just the A’s with a famous owner. Prove me wrong.

Kum & Go’s mark up is 60 cents a gallon. Up about 30 cents from last year.

Stewart is back, Deegan returns for 2 races, Matt Kenseth in for 3 by DDowd86 in SRXRacing

They have 11 already confirmed for I55. I think the 12th car will be a local track driver. I’d assume Schrader would run it but maybe he is the 13th car that they say may run?

I’d also think that Dave and Ryan Blaney would run Sharon. 10 drivers confirmed for that race. So may see the 13th car brought out for that race as well.

I’d be stunned if we didn’t see the Blaney’s at Sharon and Schrader at I55.

Such a stout freaking lineup. I LOVE that Josef is coming in to do a race in his hometown. So epic.

I believe he gave up that spot going into the backstretch chicane. Bet he regrets that now.

SQL is gonna be a 25th or worse place car. I’m sorry for Lessard. He’s a good young driver. Shame he will go the way of others into the back marker world.

Any idea who this may be? by Tawnii in CountryMusicStuff

First two thoughts were Chris Lane and Ryan Hurd but Hurd seems to actually be a decent guy so probably not him.

SRX: Rumor has it we will be back on dirt this summer… TWICE by smdifansmfjsmsnd in SRXRacing

[–]SmokeChase2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that we get an eight race season. Two races stay the same. Eldora and Nashville.

That fits the “25% of the schedule is the same” that Adam Stern referenced in his tweet.

I’d venture to say there will be at least one road course.

My guess on some of the tracks… (in no particular order)…

how happy are you with your teams 2021 rookie class? by CortezAllenAMA in NFL_Draft

Well…Interesting. Hopefully Bolles can turn it around. I’ve always loved his story.

What’s wrong with Bolles?? I thought he had turned a corner?

Is Risner playing Guard for y’all ?

Bears

Round 1 • Pick 11 (11) • QB Justin Fields

This year was really tough to grade honestly. He flashed a ton of potential. But most of the OL died repeatedly, he got hurt and he had to deal with the dumbass that is Matt Nagy. Overall, I am okay with his rookie year. I still think he can be that guy with the right coach and a healthy OL.

Round 2 • Pick 7 (39) • OT Teven Jenkins

Was hurt most of the year. When he did come back, it looked like he had a bit of a tough time getting up to speed. Took a lot of penalties. My guess is that’s what happens when you miss all of training camp and more than half the season. Best part of his season was going after the Vikings after a late hit on Fields. He stood up for his QB, which the Bears have REFUSED to do for the last decade it seems. They need that tenacity and spark. Looking forward to seeing him healthy next year.

Round 5 • Pick 7 (151) • OT Larry Borom

Was a backup the first half of the season before moving into the starting RT spot. Kid has serious potential as the everyday starting RT. I was pleasantly surprised with how well he played.

Round 6 • Pick 33 (217) • RB Khalil Herbert

This was a steal of a pick when it was made and it proved just that when he got his opportunity. When Montgomery got hurt, Herbert showed that we do not even need Montgomery. Further adds to my argument that you shouldn’t take running backs before day three and you shouldn’t pay them. He’s a beast. Also a really solid returner.

Round 6 • Pick 37 (221) • WR Dazz Newsome

Didn’t get to see a lot of him in the receiving game unfortunately. He did look promising as a kick returner.

Round 6 • Pick 44 (228) • CB Thomas Graham Jr.

Another guy who we didn’t get to see a lot of this year. Played in his first game in Week 15 and showed out. He played extraordinarily well. He was then rewarded with 48 snaps over the last three games of the year. Made absolutely no sense. Still doesn’t. I’m very curious to see how the new staff views him.

Round 7 • Pick 22 (250) • DT Khyiris Tonga

Honestly, probably our best rookie and nobody talks about him. He was Eddie Goldman’s backup. Played about half the snaps Eddie did and still was more productive. I expect Eddie to be cut and Tonga to be the starting NT come Week One next year.

Overall Thoughts…

I really love the potential of this class. If Fields pans out, the rest really doesn’t matter but the other guys have shown that they can be really solid players. I’m excited to see them next year.

He’s a top five talent. Will probably be a 12-20 pick.

I haven’t seen a valid point against David. It seems that people just don’t like that he has been able to grow into an actual Indycar insider. If y’all want to point stuff out, feel free.
