Interesting news here, I think the Dolphins will be a contender next year. This along with the other pieces put in place recently.

If we want a QB with a bum shoulder, we have a former MVP and Heisman.

I don't see many other good options out there unless the plan is to tank next year. I like Pickett but I'm not sure he's going to hop right in and be a burrow or Mac Jones. Having watched Willis struggle in person vs state I'm not that impressed

Tanking isnt a bad idea IMO. I'd love to see us trade CMC for some picks so we can get some value out of him.
 
I prefer another North Carolina-Villanova final.

I'm afraid it's going to be Duke-Kansas. Especially considering that one of Villanova's stars might be down and Duke is playing better than they were at the end of the season through the ACC tournament.
 
If anyone is interested in a Masters pool, picks are due at midnight tonight central. Rules are listed below. Send me a message for the email of the person running the pool. I don’t want to put the guys email out in the open. If this not allowed mods, please delete. Thanks

RULES:
- $25 per entry. Limit: 2 entries per person.
- Each person will pick SIX (6) golfers.
- Only 2 of your picks may be from the Top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
- At least 4 of your picks must be from outside the Top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings.

SCORING:
Once the tournament is completed, you take the best four of your six scores and add them together to get your final score. Whoever has the lowest total wins.

**Any golfer that doesn’t make the cut gets an 80 for rounds 3 and 4, respectively.

***Any WD or DQ will be scored as an 80 for all four rounds.

Choose the winning score as a tiebreaker (for example, if the winner posts -12, whoever guessed closest wins the tiebreaker).

TO ENTER:

If you’re in, contact:

“Send me a PM for contact info”

All picks and payments must be made by MIDNIGHT (12:00am Eastern on Thursday, April 7th before the tournament begins.)

2nd Place: 10% of the pot

3rd Place: 5% of the pot

Owner of pool for consolidating: 5% for being so nice.

*A Google spreadsheet will be sent after each round to show everyone’s picks and scores.
 
I typed out a possible Braves lineup for later this year on Reddit and man...

It could be nasty.

If there's anything to pick at, you can possibly say that there may be a bit less hit for contact (I look at the possible lineup with Acuna and I don't see somebody that is for sure going to put up a .300 BA). But that's not certain. Maybe Riley does repeat and Acuna hits .300.
 
Worst scoring day at Masters since 1983. Despite the wind and cold, nothing like watching the masters on TV. Just beatifull, historic course. Scotty Scheffler is going for his 4th tourny victory since Feb 13th I beleive. Guy is fun to watch. The Aussie likes to roll the dice, agressive, so tommorow should be interesting. Ole Tiger putts like me today. Course he wasnt alone.

Now if only the mlb umpires would ever face any repercussions for their bad calls

Right, I wish they would just fine/fire/train whatever it took to address those umps making consistent horrible calls. What I really don't want to see is the automated strike zone. I mean if an umpire is calling it tight, consistently, that's part of it, pitchers adjust, if he's calling it low, whatever, consistently, again part of it and hitters adjust. Either way agree, when you're that inconsistent though it really needs to be dealt with.

I think deep down mlb loves having bad umpires and believes that they drive interest

Probably, kinda like hockey fights I guess and I'm good with a missed call here or there, it happens. Plus who doesn't like seeing a little dirt thrown on an umps shoes haha but when it's consistently bad it detracts from the game.

I'm with you on this. I like the human element and don't want an automated zone. I also like the pitchers hitting though. That said, Hernandez misses them by a foot off the plate and I think they do need to rein in some of those inconsistencies.
