The KC Chiefs are the only team to play on every day of the week except on a Tuesday in 2024

Quote from: Ed Vette on Today at 08:09:13 PMThere was some talk of another joint practice session with the Lions. If so that would be here.

I just spoke about this in another thread. I hope we practice with all 3 teams. Those practices will be the biggest tell as to were this team is currently. Not any of the otas, training camp, or preseason games.

Quote from: EDjohnst1981 on Today at 02:44:20 PMFair enough, if that's his point of view but I think we've learned from last year not to glean anything from the pre-season, let alone OTAs and mini-camp.

Curious to see who we practice with this offseason in joint practices.

Last offseason the Lions dominated us in joint practices and I remember the story being oh well Dan Campbell is an intense guy so the Lions probably practice hard-core and go all out being at home.

Then 1 series in Carolina with 4 vanilla Waller catches later and we are the greatest show on turf.

So wild to see the narrative run wild because 90% of the beat writers thought the offense was going to be great after that carolina game.

The prices make absolutely no sense. The design isn't even that special or interesting. No Giants logo even.

You could buy a generic custom t-shirt with "1925" on it for what, $20?

Quote from: Ed Vette on Today at 07:57:31 PMHe has the Receivers, whether he has the Oline or not, its not his fault. According to almost everyone here besides us. So, unless he's not healthy, why would they pull him? To keep him healthy so they don't have to pay an injury clause? Admit they were wrong about him and not drafting a QB?

That injury clauses is a very real concern for a guy that has played 16 games only once in his 5 seasons in the NFL.

41.5 million total for 2025

-23 million guaranteed if he can't pass a physical at the beginning of the year

-12 million guaranteed if he isn't cut by march

So if he is on the roster in March it'll cost us 42 million on the cap and if he is cut he could only cost 22 million, maybe even 11 if we spread the dead cap over 2 years.

So the difference in 30 million or 12% of our cap will be decided on whether or not Jones simply plays injury free, not whether he plays great or bad.

Quote from: LennG on Today at 07:34:28 PMWhen I was a youngster, if a cop ever asked, or commanded us to do something, we did it automatically, not asking why, who, how, or because. Isn't that how most confrontations start between civilians and the police?
I am also not saying this isn't some rogue cop, but as a civilian do you really want to get into a situation where the cop may fear for his life and fire his weapon, even if it isn't warranted? We have seen this too many times where innocent people who did not obey a police officer's command, get shot. We do not know what is going thru the policeman's mind at that moment, so why be stupid and take an unnecessary risk?
People are saying how nice a guy Scottie is, really what does that mean to a policeman when he orders you to do something and you feel why to bother, I'm Scottie so and so.
The policeman may have been dead wrong, but you still need to obey their commands or face the consequences.

A good policeman can make split decisions and manage his emotions and calm things down. A bad one gives an order and beats a person up for hesitating.

Week 1: vs. Detroit Lions
Week 2: at Houston Texans
Week 3: at New York Jets

 A quick pitch is illegal and considered an illegal pitch.  As Steve said, I didn't see what had happened in the video. To be honest, I have seen pitchers use a very deliberate motion to the plate and then vary it with a quicker motion. I see nothing wrong with that. The idea is to keep the batter off balance.
A quick pitch is usually when a pitcher gets the ball, immediately steps on the rubber, and pitches really before the batter gets set. You see this a lot when a pitcher, while in the set position with a man on 1st, will step off the rubber and immediately step back on and pitch. The runner and the batter will usually relax a bit when they see the pitcher step off and for him to immediately step back on and pitch, is and should be illegal. A quick pitch, with runners on, is a balk. If there is no one on it is called a ball.

Any illegal pitch is a balk with runners on and a ball with no one on.

If the pitcher lost contact with the rubber, I would think a base umpire would call that as it would be almost impossible for the plate man to see that.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 05:51:54 PMIn week one, yes, 100%. In week eight or later, probably but not automatically.

You can have controversy about the QB position even if you don't want it. Fans and media members can effectively cause it. The same way they can get coaches fired. I'm not saying this will happen this year by the way. Just that it's not impossible.

Also having no bad vibes or controversy about the team in the centennial anniversary year is basically impossible if they're a bottom seven or eight team again. Having no QB controversy in a big anniversary season is nice and all, but who cares about any of that if the team is on its way to another 4 to 7 win season?

He has the Receivers, whether he has the Oline or not, its not his fault. According to almost everyone here besides us. So, unless he's not healthy, why would they pull him? To keep him healthy so they don't have to pay an injury clause? Admit they were wrong about him and not drafting a QB?
