re: Red flag behavior or not?

IMO, relationships work better when the woman is more into the man. As long as everything else seemed okay, I would be fine with it as a man,...
re: NFL has had the least parity among the four major NA sports over the past six years
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 5/20/24 at 4:06 pm
[quote]That being said football in general has less parity than the other major American sports because it is the game in which luck plays the smallest role across large sample sizes. Being bigger, stronger and faster than the guy across from you matters more in football than baseball/basketball/hoc...
re: NCAA could face $20B in damages, bankruptcy if proposed settlement offer isn't agreed upon

[quote]I would suggest that this business model has reached its soon-to-be demise.[/quote]
There are several challenges in CFB right now.
1. There are thousands (even tens of thousands) of students enrolled at every major university across the country. Nobody cares if 85 of them can't spell thei...

re: Dabo: “We just signed a whole class of guys transferring from high school”
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 5/18/24 at 12:13 am
Terry Don deserves credit for Dabo.
When Phillips promoted Dabo to interim, he encouraged him to treat the job as if it were his for the long haul and that he would give him a legitimate shot at it. Phillips was willing to hire him originally (at about 40 years old with nothing but position coac...

Villains are sometimes more frightening when you try to imagine what they would do with more power than what they actually do.
Hannibal Lecter is more interesting locked up in a cell. Jaws is scarier beneath the water. Ledger's Joker and (coincidentally) Spacey's John Doe are better with no backs...
re: Congrats Caitlin Clark on her triple-double debut
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 5/15/24 at 6:21 pm
CC is likeable and obviously works hard because she’s a great shooter and not a physical freak by any means. I want her to do well.
That said, I will never watch a second of WNBA basketball and believe her star will start to fade soon. If she were a 6’2’’ tattooed black girl with all the same ski...

re: USA Today's Top 25 College Football Coaches
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 5/12/24 at 9:45 am
Smart is clearly #1 but hard to say beyond that. Swinney has the best resume, but he seems too old school to fully embrace NIL and the portal. (He’s not too old school to accept a $100,000,000 contract to lead an extracurricular activity, though.) He also isn’t hitting on QB’s anymore and is experie...

[quote]Considering that most of the members of the '72 Dolphins are now in their 70s? Probably. I think the question you need to be asking is this: what would it look like if the 1972 Miami Dolphins could somehow be time warped to the present while in their primes and given the same sports science a...
re: What's the closest you or a family member has been to a part of history?
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 5/5/24 at 8:02 am
I guess the closest thing for me personally is having visited the World Trade Center before 9/11. I visited in 1990 when I was 11, and 9/11 happened when I was 22. I have an eerie picture of me looking out over the Hudson from the indoor observatory of the South Tower around sunset.
Anyway, becau...

$13 million a year to lead an extracurricular activity and teach life lessons through football to young adults getting their college education as these scholars mature to become pillars of society. I am glad the alumni and administration recognize the importance of this and ensure that Kirby remains...

re: SIAP: Goodell wants 18-game NFL season, Super Bowl on Presidents Day weekend

I dislike schedule expansion primarily because it fricks up all the statistical records. It also makes each game a little less meaningful. I wish the NFL had stayed at 16 games. ...
