    What’s up with the fad with no knee pads?

    I'm with you. Will the pad keep your knee in place when hit? I doubt it, but it will protect the surface. Most bomb suits are not intended to save your life from the explosion of a large bomb. All they do is keep your body intact so your family can have an open casket funeral.

    NFL RB’s Pay

    League minimum salary across the board. Pay additional "incentives" based on the point system of productivity as mentioned above. Set a standard base pay "raise" per season. A 10 year vet will have a higher base pay than a rookie. Longevity in the league is rewarded consistently, and the...

    SEC Run Rule Totals

    The emphasis on launch angle and HR power fits right in with the current MLB trajectory. If he were hitting .200 with 22 HR as opposed to +300 with 22 HR, the power numbers are what will get him the look. Joey Gallo has somehow made a career out of batting .200 with power. That tells you a lot.

    Baseball and “Swagger” - Would you rather…

    Have the team mindset of B, without the blatant and obnoxious presentations. You want a team with that same dawg in them. Unfortunately, I don't see that with this current team, on the mound specifically. Baseball is mostly mental. We have talent on this team, we just don't have that dawg that...

    How long does Sawyer Robertson stay at Mississippi State....

    That's one thing I love about Leach, he doesn't give a rip what you were coming in. If you don't produce for him, you won't play for him. Everybody gets a fair shot to win the job and the one that is the most productive will be the man. If someone transfers due to lack of playing time, then that...

    RIP Tony Siragusa

    Wish I could have heard him say "Bring me a can of corn and a diet coke, I'll be fine."

    What are the WORST golf courses in Mississippi?

    Yep, you know it well then. The last time I was there was 2014-ish and I had the same experience.

    What are the WORST golf courses in Mississippi?

    To clarify, Shady Oaks and Meadow Oaks are two separate courses. Shady Oaks far surpassed the quality of Meadow oaks. Meadow oaks was out Clinton-Tinnin Rd. Literally a field.

    What are the WORST golf courses in Mississippi?

    We referred to it as Ghetto Oak. But we loved it. It was perfect for our skill levels. Never crowded, cheap to play.

    What are the WORST golf courses in Mississippi?

    Ahhh for those that never played at Meadow Oak just north of Clinton, you missed out. I lost many a ball on the bush hogged fairways. And lets not forget that wall of cigarette smoke coming out the club house door when you entered to pay for your round. Best days ever.

    Curt Schilling to Vols: You're making the other teams want to kick your *ss

    Hear! Hear! There's a difference in playing with an edge and playing with those antics. I'm especially a fan of this line "“Acting like you’ve hit the biggest home run in the history of college baseball, every single time, it’s going to make people beat you." Far too many hitters are doing...

    Paul Goldschmidt

    Braves are the default childhood favorite (thanks to Grandma), but the Cards are my squad by choice.

    Paul Goldschmidt

    Gallegos, Pallante, Helsley, Cabrera, Woodford, with an additional Hicks out of the pen is a nice pen. Woodford has had limited appearances, but has decent stats. Four of the Six are sub 3 ERA. The rest are currently pretty pathetic. But, we have the guys there to win games late. Dejong has...
