    What is next for BB?

    I'd wager a LOT of money that the Falcons' QB situation going into next season will be much more appealing than their QB situation this season. They'll either trade for Fields, or sign Cousins, or stay at #8 and draft someone like Penix, or trade halfway up and try to draft Daniels, or trade all...

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    Which Braves forums are you looking at? At my own preferred Braves site, the most-recommended posts are pretty positive about the trade: https://www.batterypower.com/2023/12/30/24019955/atlanta-braves-to-acquire-chris-sale Very much down on Grissom's defense, noting that he didn't have a place...

    Al Michaels: The End of An Era?

    I am absolute fascinated by how Al Michaels transformed his voice over the years to make it deeper. Go back and listen to his calls of the Miracle on Ice, or the Hagler-Hearns fight, and think of where his voice is now - he's got to be at least an octave lower, doesn't he? I can't think of any...

    2023 PGA Tour

    I don't feel persecuted. I do feel like my takes are so entirely different from everyone else's here that there's absolutely no point in getting involved in the discussion. (I'm more annoyed at myself for forgetting this than I am at any of you, to be honest.)

    2023 PGA Tour

    Not that I give a damn what anyone else here thinks - my golf takes are rarely aligned with anyone else on SoSH, and every time I post in this thread, I wonder soon afterwards why I've bothered - but I was only responding to what others had just written. Three people posted why they don't watch...

    2023 PGA Tour

    I love watching golf - especially final round golf - on the PGA Tour. Even more especially on a good course with a lot of history, and/or when there are one or more compelling stories on the leaderboard. It helps that Sky Sports always has a lighter commercial load here in the UK than NBC and...

    NBA In-Season Tournament 2023 Discussion and Gamethread

    It's quite a nice time for those of us in Europe. (I wonder if that was a factor at all? Probably not...)

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    FWIW, I was on holiday in Italy in October and downloaded a Simmons podcast there, and all of the ads I got were in Italian.

    Arsenal 23-24: Watch this Space

    The first "The Tuesday Club" podcast in about 18 months dropped on Monday - required listening for any discerning Gooner. (The "Who said this - Mikel Arteta, or General Franco?" quiz was particularly hilarious.) Also, that win last night over Luton...Declan Rice, Rice baby indeed.

    NFL Officiating: Zebras gone wild

    FWIW, I had started a thread about officiating issues more generally in the General Sports forum... https://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/has-refereeing-umpiring-gotten-significantly-worse-in-all-sports-recently.40913/ ...which hasn't gotten much traction, perhaps because of its...

    CFB 2023 Conference Championships: A thread enjoying five major conference championship games for the last time

    Just to circle back on this, having watched and listened to Herbie both Thursday night and last night and properly compared his work closely, I think the biggest reason for this is actually Chris Fowler vs. Al Michaels. I've always loved Michaels, but he's at the "too cool for school" stage of...

    Yam Madar in a Garden

    I actually called the other EuroLeague game that went to overtime on Thursday. Partizan Belgrade games, with 20,000 screaming and singing and chanting fans, really are unlike any basketball you've probably ever seen before...and there was a pretty cool ending as well: View...

    NBA In-Season Tournament 2023 Discussion and Gamethread

    Point differential is a tiebreaker with regard to who qualifies for the EuroLeague and EuroCup playoffs, FWIW - mainly in terms of H2H point differential between teams that split their two regular season games, but occasionally across the entire league as well. (This has thrown me off as a...

    They only had 1 timeout - they burned one trying to ice the kicker.

    CFB 2023 Week 13: A thread rising up to the challenge of its rival

    Are there other people here who still believe this? I think he's become a shrieking, cliche-ridden parody of himself who no longer possesses even a shred of nuance - I actively try to avoid games he's commentating on.

    Mac's Future

    The Rhein Fire went 14-0 this year and won the ELF championship with former Weber State QB Jadrian Clark under center...so probably not.
