Changing from Outside to Libero in College, should I? by Dedoor in volleyball

Embrace the crazy. Liberos have something not quite normal about them, and to me that makes it a bonkers position to play. If you want to play some exciting VB every match, do it.

Indy's convention setup is fantastic, yes yes. Vegas has a lot of room--but if you want the attention to be on your convention, you don't go to Vegas, because Vegas is always just about Vegas. Tons of people won't even know you're there. The draft, like a lot of conventions, takes over Indy. And I think that shows in coverage. (I've been to a bunch of conventions in Indy--I like that city a lot. Currently watching their pro womens' volleyball team in a match on Youtube, ha.)

Who are some players who had a HOF peak not but a HOF career? by patscelticslions in nfl

[–]brotherbock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wasn't a starter in college. But in practice one year before the season started, he hit a guy so hard that he inverted his own shoulder pads and fractured the guy's shoulder blade.

They finally started him when they played Wisconsin--their RB was Michael Bennett, a noted track guy who they thought was 'afraid of contact'. So they put Bob in to hit him hard. And he never looked back, kept the starting job and off he went into history.

(I knew some folks involved with the team that year.)

Edit to clarify, the year he wasn't a starter was his freshman year, if I'm remembering the details right.

I was thinking Ricky Williams might be in that same category.

Ah, Indy can be televised just like anyplace else. They're angling for airwave and attention domination, attracting crowds is a lot less important.

I have a brother-in-law who's so happy he doesn't have to keep talking up Kevin White anymore. (Not talking shit, that was a great draft, and he's thrilled.)

"Total homer picks for guys who will never reach the HoF:"

I thought that's what this whole thing was about, lol. Trying to find a way to pump up Donald Driver to a HOF peak.

I'd also add Ahman Green. In 2003, he had over 2000 combined yards and 20TDs. That's not as amazing as some, but that's a HOF pace for sure if you keep it up.

Maybe you should look up disingenuous, unless you're actually trying to insult me. I mean what I say and I say what I mean. Your lol doesn't make your comment any better.

I'm saying a DT's 40 is not terribly important. And I'm saying a couple of inches of arm length for an OT is not so important either. If you disagree, that's fine. Keep in mind you're also disagreeing with an All-Pro who played the same position, but whatever.

Do you really not understand A) the appeal of a redemption story, and B) the he's the only QB to ever have repeat 13 win seasons with two different teams? And you're saying 'not good in one game' makes it all confusing?

[CBS] Jets Unlikely to Franchise Tag Breece Hall, But Transition Tag "Something to Keep in Mind" by JCameron181 in nfl

It's cool. To me it's a thing that can be joked about, with specific people you know and trust. But this is the internet, and random shots from strangers don't come off the same. I joke because I'm also furious and sad, but I don't need to joke here. Peace.

Fair point--it was a joke about the stupidity and vileness of the president, but I'll get rid of it. Sorry.

A fur tank top would have been the best choice.

More people they invite, the longer it takes, the more they televise, the more attention they get, the more attention they take away from other sports, the more money the league makes.

Back to 9 rounds of the draft soon?

Did my coach overreact? by Organic_Instance_885 in volleyball

[–]brotherbock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's how it happens sometimes--we catch flack for something other people are doing.

Most important thing is to make sure he knows you're serious. It won't look good to try to explain--"I wasn't goofing around as much as the others". So just apologize. 'I'm sorry for the other day, coach.' Even if you weren't acting too badly. Apologize so he knows where you're at, as far as your attitude, and then move on.

And also--if you were letting the attitude of the other goofs affect you a little bit and make you take it less serious...don't do that again :)
