2015-2016 College Football Thread

Ok, bets are in for today...always fun to do a little college football parlay... Buffalo +17.5 Notre Dame -13.5 Oklahoma -1.5 Arizona -10 Michigan State (moneyline) A couple bucks only because the odds are not high to him them all obviously...but $2.50 pays $47.25... Good thing you only spent $2.50...

2015-2016 Penn State Football thread

At 10-0, Temple was going nowhere and PSU was speedburning them to death. And then Temple adjusted. They figured out PSU's offense and became even more aggressive. Credit to them for recognizing. PSU's coaching staff should have to walk home. You can 'dominate the state' all you want in recruiting b...

What's up with Taylor "Ade" this week?
Has something to do with a new driver they have coming out this coming week. But the missing M looks kinda dumb on all the hats.

VA news crew shot to death on live TV

I have a couple of questions. How did the reporter know that reporter and cameraman would be doing a live remote at that time?The story being covered didn't seem like one that would have a lot of advance notice commercials. Just a typical morning news time filler kind of story. And do reporters alw...

VA news crew shot to death on live TV

It's been a difficult day in our industry. Newsrooms across the country, whether it's a local shop or a national one like mine, are feeling this one because we've all been in that situation. Granted, some of us are doing liveshots on golf courses which are generally pretty secure, there are countles...

Just watched the Skate in the Crease Sabres vs Stars SCF game from 99. Ugh, it's been 16 years but I still get twitches if I see video from that game or it even gets mentioned because back at that time, I was working for a sports TV entity that used to care about hockey and I was responsible for th...

My one-and-done pick is Day. It's his turn to win a major. He's been in contention way too much the last 4 years to not finally get one.

There's literally 6 minutes of golf in between every commercial break. It's like they took all the breaks they're not allowed to use at the Masters and shoved them into the PGA Championship. CBS is terrible when it comes to broadcasting golf. They went the first 20 minutes of the broadcast today wi...

Gary McCord rivals Johnny Miller for most intolerable golf commentator. Best part about Augusta. I can't stand any of CBS's production of majors...or golf overall for that matter. It's pretty painful to watch sometimes. As for the golf itself today, the morning wave certainly had the advantage when...

Rory's injury will be a non-factor this week. His lack of playing tournament golf since the US Open will be his main problem if he's not as competitive as expected. My one-and-done pick is Day.

Do people still think the Blue Jays made a mistake? I'd like to meet those who thought the Jays made a mistake and have their baseball brains examined. All that team needed was some pitching and they were gonna skyrocket with that offense. They add a guy with Cy Young potential and a terrific hitti...

KC broadcast just explained it...and this one makes it even more bizarre... There are two different walls. There's the one that the ball hit, which its top is the silver railing and then there's the wall that the ball flew over, whose top is below that of the top of the wall the ball originally hit ...

I looked at the Post-Gazette's Pirates beat writer's twitter to see if he had any insight and one person thought that the wall above the padding and below the railing may be a stadium ground rule that it's like the ball hit the ground and bounded over the fence for a ground-rule double. If so, then ...

This umpire has never seen that one before...going in search of the rule book now to find it. I have the KC broadcast and they offered no explanation. Did anyone on Root try to explain it?
