    I wouldn’t consider roush being back until they are the top ford team again. I’m surprised Ford ever let them fall off with all the support roush has given them in terms of performance parts. But they went from being arguably the top team in nascar to an afterthought until the end of last year. Now they atleast are a top 10 team nearly every week without bad luck.

    I think one could make the argument they are the top Ford team at the moment, or at least 1B. Harvick leads Ford in regular season standings, but Brad is only 12 points behind him. Roush and Penske are tied for wins. Blaney, Buescher, and Logano are all within 6 points of each other. Penske and Roush seem to be on pretty similar levels at this point. I think most would still view Penske as the top dog since they're coming off a championship season, but Roush has put themselves in the conversation. SHR is not in the conversation at this point since the entire team is in shambles besides Harvick. 

     

    Either way, I am just happy to see Roush is relevant again. It was a tough time to be a fan from 2015-2022. I won't take this season for granted and enjoy every moment of them being competitive.

    So who's this Dorian Thompson-Robinson guy? Dude looked pretty good out there! Other than being a rookie I don't know how he got kicked to 3rd string behind Kellen Mond...Monday looked horrid out there. I'd be shocked if he makes it past preseason as #2, unless Kevin Stefanski is just stubborn to keep the rook at #3.

     

    That said, yes it's just one preseason game, but imma be real: I saw a lot of the same moxie out of Thompson-Robinson that I saw out of young Aaron Rodgers when he was still backing up the Favreness. This could get interesting for the Browns...except this is the Browns here, and I don't think even Griffin sees any reality in which Cleveland doesn't screw this up.

     

    I know one thing, though: if this kid ever makes it as a starter, he's already got the record for longest NOB of any active QB in NFL History locked down. 😆

     

     

    He actually is the 4th string at the moment. Watson-Dobbs-Mond-DTR. He will absolutely move up in the depth chart though.

    There's people that think he is worth his contract?  Take his conduct out of the picture and it's still an absurd contract.  I assumed that even Browns fans knew right away that the odds were it'll end up being an albatross around their neck.

    Some are gold medalists in the mental gymnastics with how they justify his contract. They'll say the Browns were never going to cut him and any contract he was given he would end up with seeing all the money anyway, so why not just make it completely guaranteed? Or they'll say that is just the price of a franchise QB, and they rarely become available. 

     

    I say it is a desperate short-sighted move from a desperate, QB-hungry franchise who is tired of being the laughing stock. So...naturally this move once again made them the laughing stock AND they got some bad PR for their troubles.

  4. The Steelers will go 8-8-1, because they have to keep up their .500 or better streak. The Browns will start out 2-4 to put us out of our misery early. By week 4 Cleveland will be calling for Stefanski's head, and by week 12 fans will finally admit Deshaun isn't worth his contract. In the off-season fans will convince themselves Watson can easily be traded for a haul of draft picks, but no team wants him and we are stuck with a middling QB on a horrible contract. 

     

    I don't make the rules, I just know how these things work. 

  5. Yesterday's race wasn't great, but I generally love the road course races. They're some of the tracks I look forward to most each season. But I am a Chris Buescher fan, so that definitely helps since he is usually competitive in these races.

    You guys think there's any fire regarding the Connecticut Governor re: Yotes to Hartford?

     

    I feel that most of the fans that the Whalers abandoned have either hopped on with the Bruins, Rangers, Isles, or followed the Whalers down to Carolina. 

    It was discussed a few weeks ago in here I believe, but Hartford would need a new arena before they could be seriously considered. Nothing has really changed on that front since the team left for Raleigh 25 years ago. The market also isn't doing itself any favors, as the city of Hartford itself is the fourth most populated in Connecticut and continues to shrink. That doesn't necessarily mean the metro area of about 1.2 million couldn't support an NHL team, but it might make more sense to give a midwest market like Kansas City a chance, or Quebec City if you want to go the small-but-proven hockey market route.

  7. So...the Browns have this logo on their website when announcing the winner.

    While on their Twitter is showing this logo.

    Does anyone else notice the difference in the right side of the dogs face in these logos? Or am I just losing my mind? Which one is it? 

     

    Edit: I am pointing out the extra flap/wrinkle on the dogs face in the bottom logo.

  8. I've seen this logo making rounds on social media. I like it better. The collar has more white which adds a bit more balance to it, and it takes away one of those weird flaps/wrinkles on the right side of its face to make it look a little less awkward.

    Tkachuk is literally the only reason this isn't a tied series

    He capitalized on his chances for sure. Our guys didn’t. Let’s hope we are in the ECF next year and have a chance at redemption.

  10. It stings to lose this way, but I’m proud of my team. They fought hard each game, just couldn’t finish and had some bad bounces. We have come a long way after a 9 year playoff drought. In the moment it is frustrating to lose, but I’ll take an ECF appearance over missing the playoffs or an early exit every time.

    The Panthers last playoff OT loss was Game 6 against the Islanders in 2016. They've won seven in a row since then, six of them on the road.

     

    The Hurricanes last playoff OT loss was Game 4 against the Preds in 2021. They've won six in a row since then.

     

    Maybe it's not surprising that this game is going to a 4th overtime.

    Plus the Canes have lost 8 straight ECF games. Universe has no idea what to do. 

  12. Even if the Canes can win this game, Bobrovsky is just too good right now. It's going to be tough to win this series with how he is playing. 
     

    At this rate I just want to win a single game in the ECF after getting swept in our last two appearances.

    Not sure if any of you listen to NHL radio on sirius, but they've been talking about Cleveland as a possibility on the air this morning.

    Don't go getting my hopes up like that. However, Cleveland can barely support 3 major league teams as it is, so I do not see it happening. 

     

    Just move them to Quebec City and call it a day - it is a slam dunk. Some Sunbelt teams have worked, some haven't. This one has been a disaster for a number of reasons.

    It's a bad thing that regular fans could go to the SCF instead of rich people with $500+ to blow?

    I was referring to regular season games for the Predators - I should have specified. Pre-SCF regular season tickets were relatively cheap and easy to acquire if you wanted to go. Post-SCF the Predators became the hot item, and regular season tickets were much harder to come by. Prices more than doubled compared to years past and their games sold out on a regular basis.
