Also doesn’t help besides embiid, harris and Simmons everyone else is still on the nba hiatus 

They arent even running an offense. One pass and a bad shot...rinse and repeat

that seems to be brett brown's offense.

also, Shake is shook. He wasnt ready for PG in the NBA. So, as we knew coming in to the season, PG is a major problem area on the team. Neto isnt a help.

They may need to scrap this new lineup and go back to Ben at PG for the playoffs. It sucks, but this might suck worse. Till we get a legit PG hopefully next year might have to stick with Ben.

We’re watching Last Chance U on Netflix then going to root on my second favorite NHL team.  (Whoever is playing the Penguins).  

I'm halfway through the 2nd episode.  I won't spoil anything.  I look forward to seeing how the WR develop during the year.  They both look explosive.  I try not to google anything about them to see where the ended up.  

Is there anyway to pin important dates for the NFL?  I have no idea what's happening with TC.

We’re about 7 eps in.  Dior is a good kid.  The other WR is a little baby.  

Is he #4? the guy that sleeps in his car?  Yea he seems like he has his head on right.

I do find it funny they make a big deal out of having to work PT jobs while in school.  I think most of us worked PT jobs while in school.

Do the uniforms look more ummm turquoise?  That doesn't look midnight green at all.

I know NIke for some unknown reason can't make the color but these just look way bright.  Then again I have no idea what I'm talking about.  I personally hate the color.

What’s wrong with a woman commentator?

Generally speaking they try to hard and sound annoying as hell.

Yep.  That’s him.  Great team guy.  Has dad issues.  They’ll touch more on that. 

I know.  Trust me.  But they are the lesser of two evils.  

Honestly hoping the flyers can get enough points in the round robin to avoid a first round matchup with Pittsburgh if they stay where they are. 

Apologies if this was already posted.

Interesting comments from Duce and Stoutland. Duce said he views Miles as a bellcow back (I'll believe it when I see it...) and broke down each back back on the roster. I loved his comment about Killins when he said an NFL RB can be small as long as he's special; you can't be small and not special. Did nobody talk to him before the Pumphrey pick? Lol.

Stoutland was great as usual. Candid comments about Peters, Mailata, and Pryor. Eagles are really fortunate to have Stoutland and Duce.

Meh.  Honestly I think it doesn’t matter who they play.  With this format, anyone can beat anyone in any round.  I’d rather they just work in the PP and PK and get both goalies time in the round robin.   It’s really gonna be more about goalies.  

Eh still rather not face Pittsburgh who has fire power and experienced. i think out of the 4 top seeds who gets the 4 it is the most difficult matchup for any of them in the first round. I think it’ll catch up to you down the road having to go through Pittsburgh then caps, Boston/lightning. That’s a brutal road. Much rather get a Carolina or rangers or Columbus or islanders. Also the penguins have been injured all year and finally healthy.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet but that phrasing was an allusion to Stanley Kubrick's satirical period piece "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb", with Peter Sellers, George C. Scott and a host of other notable actors, a decidedly irreverent and  over-the-top look at the hysteria prevalent during the Cold War days and one possible outcome of the "Mutually Assured Destruction" Doctrine adopted by the Super Powers of the day.

@Connecticut Eagle  can weigh in on this as to his intentions or if he was even aware of the tie-in ( I'm pretty sure he must have been...). Maybe it was a slightly off the mark attempt to lighten the mood around here, inject a small measure of humor or just trying to be clever. I'm sure he didn't intend to try to minimize the deadly serious nature of this virus and the consequences felt by so many. 

Was it insensitive? Maybe. Was it purposefully hurtful? I seriously doubt it. He doesn't strike me as that kind of lowlife. ( some other kinds, maybe but not THAT kind...).

The title has been changed, the dust has settled, let's just move on and get back to critiquing our new Middle Linebacker, TJ Edwards... 

 

edited...just saw JR posted up about this as well. Carry on...

 

Yes, someone else mentioned it.  I had no idea it was in reference to that saying.  That certainly changes things and I apologize to @Connecticut Eagle for jumping the gun.  

I watched a fifteen minute Youtube video of the Eagles/Rams game from 2002 the other day. That's the one where the defense shut down Warner, and they won with A J Feeley at quarterback, making his first start after Detmer was injured in the MNF game against the 49ers. Bobby Taylor scored the only touchdown of the game on an interception return. 

The very first thing I noticed was that the shade of Eagles green just looked different to what we've become accustomed to. It was obvious that it was more "greeny" back then. It really feels like there has been a gradual infusion of blue into the tint over the years.

This particular one didn’t offer any insight, just gave comment on what was already apparent to any viewer with proper vision.

A female color commentator in general?  My bias is that I prefer hear from someone who has played the game at the highest possible level, and gives a perspective that would not be possible from the average viewer or player.  Neither the US nor Canadian National Women’s teams would be able to beat a rank and file US Men’s College or Canadian Tier I junior men’s team.  I have the same opinion of Jessica Mendoza’s abilities doing MLB telecasts.  I’ve never heard her say much of value that the average Joe at home doesn’t already know.

It’s also helpful if the commentator has anecdotes of actual events from their career that the viewer would find interesting.  Since I’ve never paid much attention to women’s athletics other than tennis, golf, and curling there isn’t anything interesting to offer there, either

Duce has the Doug answer strategy down. Stout seems honest but mostly positive.  I hope he is right that Dillard added strength because as Stout says, he needed it. 

Dumba has the right name.

As for the Flyers I don't think it matters who they play.

Hot goalie 

Yep it felt like after the Penguins got the second goal that Carey Price just carried the Habs until they found a way to somehow get a goal to win it. I thought the penguins after tying it looked like the better team outside of price standing on his head.
