Wait @Aggies7 your the Scorigami guy right? Looks like we just got one somehow it doesn’t feel like that should be one
-
Agreed.
-
Good lord. I don’t think a lot of people saw Houston advancing.
-
I’m not watching, but looking at the play by play it looks like that was a nice use of time management by Houston and keeping their TOs to get that 3 points at the end of the half?

Dan Hayes Ownership update

One poster thought that having new Twins owners will mean that Falvey can spend more on free agents. I counter that new Twins ownership will not keep Falvey or St. Peter around but will hire their own top executives. -
Why limit your list to just U.S. cities? I have made jokes in the recent past about franchises rotating around to various cities in the United States (future ideas for new teams: Las Vegas A's, Oakland Devil Rays, Tampa Bay Twins, Minnesota A's, etc.) and how that just would not make sense, big picture. But lately I am keeping a more open mind about things. I think we have to recognize that there are essentially no ironclad rules anymore, no binding leases, no normal ways of doing things, and anything is wide open to possibility. Particularly think about how MLB seems to want to emulate the NFL; and that league will move a franchise in a heartbeat. I agree with you it is unlikely, and also I commend you for leaving the open possibility that we might turn out to be wrong about this.

Dan Hayes Ownership update

That is quite an increase from 2021 to 2022. Falvey would have been informed about payroll right-sizing again eventually. 2021: $121 million (17th) 2022: $150 million (15th) 2023: $156 million (16th) 2024: $129 million (19th) The sexiest thing in the world for the Pohlads would have been for Falvey to run bottom half payrolls and be consistently competitive, like Cleveland is. I can understand wanting to sell the team and cashing out, rather than trying to build the organization back up again. Maybe the new owners will juice payrolls back up—they probably will. -

You and I have discussed this elsewhere, but if Derek Falvey needs a high payroll blank check to put together a competitive team (and by my reading, it appears he does), then the new owners might as well bring in their own baseball guys to run the team. -
Mostly agree but I think other factors like down town real estate really complicate this
-
You don’t have to look past the Vikings. Frazier only got three years despite being tied to Christian Ponder, meanwhile Zimmer comes in here, is just as mediocre as Frazier and sets up a hostile work environment to boot, and nobody touches him.
-
Imagine. Guys were carrying Darnold on their shoulders a week ago with fake champagne spraying everywhere. There is still time to re-write the end of this story.
-
I guess I would take Darnold back next year? I am 100% confident he turns into a Jets pumpkin again if he goes anywhere else that is competitive next season. But on to next week..
-
Well, make sure it’s not any higher than this lol, because we are gonna need you in the thread next week
-
KFAN is gonna be lit tomorrow
-
gosh who was that against lol
-
lol the play is FG 100 out or 100 times, and the Vikings jump
-
You are a prolific father lol
-
I mean, fair enough
-
I feel like KOC is telling him the fan equivalent of “JUST THROW the Fffin BALL!” and Darnold is still not doing that
-
Does Darnold and his agent realize KOC has that power over his future right now
-
If Darnold hits a couple throws early, we are watching a high scoring tight game
-
3rd & long
-
and pray for rain (Mud Bowl of 1977)
-
Feels like just one player tho
-
God if we ever needed that from Van ginkel
