To be fair… Koepka's girlfriend (above) was giddy as all get out from the first second she was on camera at the end of the 18th all the way until Koepka headed inside where the score table was (he entered maybe 5 seconds before this photo). She was excited and having a blast. More power to her.

What a way to start the season. Tyreek Hill to the house! Go Chiefs!

 

[ginolicious]

Yup. Indeed that was unreal. I missed it. Can’t get the game. Watching Dallas instead. But I do have Hill in my pools (not the FC league)

No college football fans this year? This is the time where all of your off season hopes and dreams get smashed to pieces within a few weeks and we have to wait for another year . . .

We will be done with the cupcake games soon, although Stanford did beat USC down on the Farm . . .

I'm surprised that UCLA with Chip Kelly are starting so slow . . . and the Huskies LOST to Auburn . . . so sweet . . . Jake Browning is not looking very sharp yet.

The Ducks are hanging a lot of points on easy teams right now, however, Justin Herbert has made some amazing throws. He will be in the Heisman conversation this year and the team looks generally together.

Anyways . . . GO DUCKS!!!

 

[ginolicious]

Not a big college fan. But when in the States I’ll catch a game depending what school I’m at.

Can somebody please win the Dodgers/Red Sox game?
14th inning and I need to go to bed sometime....

EDIT nly 18 innings and it is over @ 2:33 AM finally!!!

 

[VAPEHUNTER]

Now the 15th inning.

 

[hinglemccringleberry]

I wonder how many sox fans in Boston are still awake right now

 

[Grey hair]

How about them Raptors!!!!
Great start. Don't wanna jinx them but damn. Best record in the NBA. Healthy so far. Let me hear ya say ' oh ya! '

 

[GetLeft]

The East is entertaining with Toronto Boston and Philly all poised. I'd like to see KD land in Philly next year but if you guys don't hold on to Kwame, we wouldn't dismiss him as an option.

 

[Grey hair]

Khawi would make a great Canadian. Heck, I bet he'd give Trudeau a run. If the organization doesn't keep him , it'll be a much harder road but we're 3 lines deep. Pretty solid bench.. I'm feeling good about their chances of going very deep into the play offs.
Yes to KD and Philly. And those bloody Celtics. ( and I'm Irish)
Gonna get hot in the East.

Yeah, that was a crazy game-changing missed call but there was a facemask on Geoff that didn't get called either. Bad calls are all part of the game. Ya win some and then.........you lose some. Ya just gotta score enough points so these kinds of calls don't cost you the game.

 

[hinglemccringleberry]

Thing is, if that facemask gets called it sets up the Rams w/ 1st and goal, but we don't know what would've happened from there and there was still alot of time left.
If the PI gets called, we know exactly what would've happened.

IMO blatant no-calls where the ball is involved need to either be reviewable upstairs, or challengable by the coach. Rams should be allowed a review of the facemask no call, Saints should be allowed a review of the PI no call, at least in the playoffs. They stop the game for enough ticky tacky shit as it is, and show a replay (video evidence) for the TV audience 10 times in a row, but yet blatantly wrong shit doesn't get cleaned up when it matters the most??

Another Patriots Super Bowl… isn't it time for Brady/Belichick/Gronk to retire already!??

I agree. And there is talks to make the change. Saints are not happy with that no call. That was pretty blatant for sure.

 

[GetLeft]

I don’t have an iota of pity for NO. Peyton’s an asshole imo. And how many times did that OL hold against the Eagles? Every play? No wonder Brees can pick the field apart.

brady is playing until he is 45. So no

 

[ghostofcyberx13]

First, I'm a Chicago Bears and Oakland(Soon to be Las Vegas) Raiders fan. Second, the Patriots are a great team like 'em or not. Third, it wasn't the Patriots fault that the refs absolutely blew the call. Fourth, whatever it would've taken that called should have been made even if requiring them to call NFL Control in NYC. Millions of fans were watching the game and many were neutral, they just wanted to see a great competition and a great game. What they got was a very, very, tainted game and one of the worst calls(No call) in NFL history, right up their with that "Blizzard" game(Raiders @ Patriots). Sure maybe the Saints were kinda tanking a little prior to the playoffs but they were hanging in and holding their own right up to that fateful call hence costing them the game. Shame on you NFL. Sayonara.
