Kaiho posted:Hey guys, I've got a random question. Her job could be anything, with anyone related to the game - the teams, the TV broadcast crew, an assistant to anybody on the sideline for any reason. My guess based on her proximity to the cameraman is that she is his assistant. While he's looking through that telephoto lens at action at the other end of the field, he's very vulnerable to being run over by someone else who is also concentrating on far-away action. She may be there just to be a traffic cone, warning people away when he's occupied taking pictures.

If Aldon Smith (teamless) is suspended for X games (let's say, a season or less) and in two years a team decides to pick him up does he have to serve that suspension or is the punishment over?

Can somebody tell me a little about Robert Griffin III? I mean I know what I can from reading the wiki article and other stuff but was he actually ever any good? If you can draw a parallel to the NBA it'd help. Is he like a Derrick Rose type?

He's Kyrie Irving if Kyrie gets rushed back from this kneecap thing and then shreds all his ligaments and then gets rushed back from that and his head falls off

As a prospect RG3 might be more like Dirk maybe, in the sense that he had very rare skills and could play his position in a way that few guys did. I dunno I'm stretching my basketball knowledge at this point but imagine a guy who plays a given position but can offer you a lot of tools beyond the typical player at that position. So like a point guard who can drive really well or a big man like Dirk who can shoot from anywhere Then imagine that guy hitting the NBA and just failing to do both the rare stuff and the basic stuff

RG3 was really good his rookie year because he played to his strengths. Then he decided he wanted to be a pocket passer and now he sucks really hard. The field he plays on his horrible, he is made of balsa wood, and is incapable of falling down like a normal human.

For anyone who hasn't seen it check this out:  Every single receiver is open, the result of this play was RG3 holding on to the ball until he was about to be sacked and then throwing it away. I can't believe rookie RG3 doesn't throw that one to one of the deep guys.

I have a personal RGIII theory. Pre-November 25, 2013 RGIII (averages) 19/30.5, 237 yards, 1.36 TD/0.6 INT passing 7.5 attempts, 46.5 yards rushing, 7 rushing TD in 25 games Post-November 25, 2013 RGIII (averages) 16.5/25, 182 yards, 0.5 TD/0.67 INT passing 5 attempts, 27 rush yards per game, 1 rushing TD in 12 games November 25, 2013 RGII  Poor guy is just deathly afraid of getting kneed in the nuts again

Also the Skins ownership is awful and I'm pretty sure Dan Snyder writes DAN SNYDER GRIFFIN inside a heart in his notebook during team meetings, which is why RGIII is still around despite clearly being your standard great in college Heisman winner that isn't in the NFL any more.

Then he got hurt late in the season, got put back in for another series even though the doctors said he wasn't cleared, and then his knee fell apart in the playoffs after a healthy one full week of rest. Came back too soon, coaching staff showed no confidence in him, shut him down to prevent injury in a lost season, dislocated his ankle last year, and now he's a deer in headlights. The "he wants to be a pocket passer instead of playing to his strengths" stuff is garbage. He's hurt and got hosed over by the coaching staff and now he's no good to anyone for footballing.

So one of our best rugby league players, Jarryd Hayne, has decided he wants to play NFL. He was an absolute phenomenon over here and is getting headline after headline with how well he is doing trialling with the 49ers. Just wondering what the buzz is over there about him - if there's any at all. It would be one of the great stories if he made it over there and I hope that he does.

He's made the 75-man roster, so he survived the first round of roster cuts. Next saturday (tomorrow) are the final cuts where teams need to cut down their roster to 53 by 4pm EST. Last night was the last preseason game, and from what i've read he played pretty well there, increasing his chances to make the final roster. Seems like he's got a good chance to make the team! 49ers fans will be able to tell you more and in more detail though.

I don't know if it's a factor as much as it is in more international sports (soccer) but from the organization's standpoint it's nice to have a fan magnet where you draft a chunk of a country to watch games, buy merch etc.

Hayne has run really well so far this preseason but has played mostly against backups. He won't be getting the ball a ton as if he makes the team, he'll be the fourth-string running back. He'll get the ball a handful of times per game as he has been really good at returning punts. He's probably making it on the final roster. The 49ers made a surprising cut today so it might be to make sure they have room for Hayne. He's been the bright spot of the preseason for the 49ers, so I'm optimistic/hopeful. Plus he did this last night, which I'm told is a rugby move?

Shoulder charges are illegal offensively and defensively in rugby league. It's actually a matter of debate at the moment. A player broke their neck and was made a quadriplegic last year. That was caused by a spear tackle but I guess they thought they'd better ban the shoulder charge as well before a serious head injury was caused.

I mean, I know a thing or two about rugby league and I'd be prepared to write it off as just a quirk of the NRL's judiciary versus the RFL, but e.g. this NRL statement presents the shoulder charge solely as something that's done to a ballcarrier by a tackler.

Thought it might be something like that. You already use a play to do it so I guess it's not worth punishing for it.

Iron_Chef posted:I remember hearing that there is a limit to the number of officials and "suited up" players a team can have on the sidelines. Does anyone know what those limits are? Depends on what league it is. In the NFL you have a 53 man roster for games. This can vary a bit with injuries(I'll let one of the NFL guys explain it more as I don't get it myself). In college you can have a max of 85 players on scholarship, but there is no limit on team size. What this means is that at home games you can have 100+ guys suited up, but for road games it is basically the scholarship players and maybe 5 valuable walk-ons.
