Big Blue Huddle / Re: End of OTAs?

Quote from: andrew_nyGiants on May 28, 2024, 11:38:34 AMFor what these players sacrifice, with the greedy owners cap controlling while lengthening the season......the players should take every minute back that they can.


You want mandatory?! Let the owners and their shill (Goodell) open up the coffers, pay these players what they deserve and go back to a 16 game schedule.

Sadly, the pattern we have seen is the the owners are more than willing to sacrifice the quality of the product for more money.  That's why the owners traded away practice time for a bigger piece of the pie.   In the end, we have seen lower-quality games and a chronic shortage of offensive linemen due to the owners greed.



To the point of this post, the football season is already a long grind.  I think it's fool-hardy to eliminate the OTAs and lengthen the training camp.  I could see value in making OTAs mandatory, but not in what is being proposed.

I coach middle school baseball and I hate to say it but it cost me the 1st period of the Game 1 and all of Game 2. 

Overall, the Rangers got outplayed in 3 of the 4 wins vs Boston and 1 of the 2 wins vs Florida (if not both based on the reports I have read). In that sense they are getting it done but it sure would be nice to play a full game dominating a team more consistently

As well as this playoff series has been going I would argue the Rangers have not even hit their stride. I have read they are lucky but plenty of puck luck is being had by their opponents so to focus on their luck and no other is selective criticism. 

Kart- Miller has been off all year imo.  His personal issues required he pull himself from lineup 6 months ago.  He seems to exist on both ends of the spectrum, making aggressive amazing plays at times or absent minded soft play.  In the cap series he did a tremendous job against OV.  Unfortunately, this time of year on this stage 1 mistake can be the difference.  I will say in Game 3 the whole defense was chasing the Panthers. 

Hoping my team gets rained out tonight so I can watch the whole game. 

GO Rangers

Quote from: MightyGiants on May 28, 2024, 09:46:28 AMWhen will the sensor know when a runner's knee or other body part (other than feet or hands) touch the ground?
They won't. But just as they use different camera angles, they can use the video to determine when a body part touched the ground and then use the digital evidence to see where the ball should be placed.

Quote from: T200 on May 28, 2024, 09:42:39 AMPut a chip in the ball and sensors on, around, or above the field.

When will the sensor know when a runner's knee or other body part (other than feet or hands) touch the ground?
