With such a small sample size in week 2 it’s mainly based on both weeks this early. And beating the Bears isn’t that impressive.

I know. That's why it's always a point of discussion during the season lol

It gets people talking about it

OT

This mom must have played for Vic. Get her on the practice squad

I really am excited to see the defense develop and grow the next few months. I think we have the best pair of LBs in the NFL and studs in all the other positions. Campbell is already looking like a future All Pro.

Want the offense to get early leads because this Dline is full of pass rushers and if JD can keep up his pass rush, then just damn. JD has been outstanding so far this year.

Equestrain, Horse racing, skiing... all true. Not sports. Fencing, wrestling, boxing there's a grey area... it has some 'objective' scoring, but people argue about the scoring all the time. There's clearly an offense and defense... and the tip of the foil, shoulders, gloves could fit into the 'ball' category, because that's how you 'score' in those activities. Why would baseball not be a sport by that definition? Which element is it missing?

And yes, its controversial, especially to fans of 'non-sports' by that definition. But, I posit that its a much better definition than most out there.

BTW, golf wouldn't qualify either. And I'm perfectly fine with that.

Anything that the product can be labeled ‘game’ or ‘match’…potentially a couple other words that escape me - sports. Basically anything with a clear opposition, not judges, not subjectiveness. 1v1, whether team or individual. Heck darts and bowling I’ll include in there. Curling…

The rest are competitions, which i think you can label as sports adjacent. (Golf, chess, weight lifting included…where you’re essentially competing against a field for a ‘top spot’)

Then you get into fringe stuff like cheerleader (activity, though they do have ‘competitions’), the WNBA, and body building.

Three swords in fencing. Foil, Sabre and my favorite, Epee. Epee is more freewheeling and requires more skill to defend. I greatly enjoyed fencing as I am left handed and that made me harder to defend for right handed folks. (Left handed folks are so used to things right handed that right handed opponents are our norm).

Your definition of sports is pretty limited.

One of my favorite things when i was stationed at the AF academy when i worked night shift was doing walk throughs of the ‘sports’ facilities. One night showing around one of the new guys who i was training as my replacement shift chief so i could take over the whole ops section we went through the fencing area…figured out how to turn on the cable and detection system. We didn’t want to full blown mess with stuff, but it was pretty cool. Then we went to the indoor football practice facility (often used by NFL teams when they travel to Denver), kicked field goals and played with the jug machines. I’ve also made phone calls from Coach Calhoun’s office phone because cell service in those dungeons is spotty if you’re not on their WiFi.

Campbell appeared to cool down after game 1…he was merely just great vs did Ray Lewis/Luke Kuechly/Urlacher/SIngletary/Butkus/Bednarik have a love child. Dude is a baller…we are good for whenever age catches up to Baun in the next year or 2.

He threw the key block on Saquon’s TD.. I am very interested in what you see. I don’t get enough feedback on OL play. People act like I know what I’m talking about and at best I’m only half right. Please tell me what you see and I’ll respond.

He was already there in the SB.

Now he's on the sideline checking fantasy stats while he's losing.

I’m not making fun of an injury, it sucks. But it’s funny to see "a key depth piece” for someone else couldn’t even make it past final cuts here. Really make you appreciate what we’ve had for a long time.

Disqualified because of the Umpire calling balls and strikes … not objective.

Tennis used to not be a sport by your criteria, but now it is a sport. Thoughts?

Then no sport is objective. My point was the SCORING is to be objective, and it is.

Tennis would absolutely be a sport by my definition. Why wouldn't it be? Scoring is objective. There is an offense (sometimes you are going for the kill shot) and defense (sometimes you are just trying to get the ball back over the net), a ball, and it requires athleticism (human locomotion).

Yes it is. And I have no problem with that.

Darts and bowling don't make it for me. You can't affect your opponent. You just have to sit there and hope they screw up more than you do.

Campbell looks great, it makes me wonder what they'll do when Dean is ready to come back in week 4.

I don't think Dean will be ready to come back in Week 4. He just can't come back before then. But that injury... he'll be lucky to be on the field this year at full speed/strength.

I can evaluate Def better than O, but thru three quarters it seems like Steen is doing far better in pass protection than run blocking. Seems like he isnt getting to the second level?

Every practice squad or roster bubble signing is reported as it's going to "bolster" the team's offense or defense.

Chris Jones sees the people on his team now compared to the past and he sees how Mahomes is a shell of himself.

He knows its over and its all 24/7 rage

@just relax

To further this, it seems like he has his head down and stops his feet after contact
