Teams are genuinely asking Lamar Jackson to do WR drills at the combine. NFL scouts are dumb.

I'd like to think it is because since he runs pretty well, and hasn't caught a pass in a game, scouts want to see if he would be able to catch well for trick plays. However, I don't think that's the case and I have to agree with the statement that the scouts are dumb.

To that first point: until they ask all QBs to do that, I wouldn't begin to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Tonight I stared at my 360 library and then ended up not playing anything because I have too many games for it and it's too daunting. I just don't know what to play anymore; there are a ton of games I kind of want to play, but nothing that I am dying to get into.

I was gonna say that I don't have that on my 360, but I guess that's too old to even be a 360 game. I should probably play my 360 because it's my biggest backlog and it's the only thing I have set up right now besides my Switch, but I think I'll hold off on Switch games in case I have a use for portable gaming in the near future.

Oh, is it the Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection? I see that now, but initially I didn't notice anything with 360 in the results (searching on gfaqs). I'm pretty sure I'm never buying another 360 game unless I think of something I feel like I really missed out on and need to play

I guess your brother would be Peyton because he came to a sad but necessary end after many years with Squall7491, but managed to continue the success he's known for with CaptainHammer.

Also I seem to remember you originally had some account here you didn't really use so that would be like the Chargers in the Eli comparison

I want him to be a 49er, even though he might be a bit undersized for a 3-4 Mike LB.

The Avs got a point today against Nashville, which is pretty good, all things considered. Maybe they can make the playoffs after all?

I consider myself more of an NBA fan than an NHL fan, but I'd much rather see the Avs make it than the Nuggets. In the NHL it always seems like anything can happen in the playoffs (besides the Capitals getting past the second round), but I know the Nugs would just lose in the first round in four or five games.

Actually, the NBA playoff seeding in the West right now is a huge clusterfuck, with 2 games separating 3-8. So the Nuggets could conceivably be stuck against the Warriors or they might luck out and get somebody like Portland or Minnesota

Was there ever a time in the NBA when any team in the playoffs had a chance to win it all? They should cut the teams in the playoffs in half now. Go from 8 to 4 in a conference because the first round is a waste of time right now.

Like everything that sucks in sports (and life in general), it's ruined by money. I totally agree they should just cut it in half, but killing 8 playoff series is such a huge revenue loss. Actually I'm not sure 4 is enough, but it's hard to work it out when you don't have powers of 2. Six would be good, but bye weeks don't work as well in other sports as they do in the NFL.

To be fair, we don't actually know how well bye weeks would work in other sports. I can only speak with any authority about baseball, but the narrative that time off is bad in the playoffs isn't really supported in any way. It's just used as an anecdote when a worse team wins a series against a team that had steamrolled the previous series, but you don't need to have time off to lose 4 of 7 against a 88 win team even if you won 100. It just happens.
