Remember when they wanted to trade for Kaepernick last year as long as he'd redo his contract?

Wonder why they haven't shown any interest this offseason.

Well they've invested a first round pick in the position since then as well

I can't imagine any reason for shortening it from 15 to 10 unless you're literally trying to make the game shorter to IDK

e: Ok finally actually clicked the link and the reasoning is hilarious. If a team played a 15 minute overtime on Sunday then had to play Thursday they'd be at a disadvantage

Yeah pretty much. So football games would have like 8 hours of stoppage time

Volkerball posted:

No it wouldn't because the clock stops during stoppages in the NFL. In soccer, it keeps running. If we were on soccer rules, at the start of the game there'd be a kick return, a few first downs, a punt, and then it'd be the two minute warning

I was responding to the idea of a running clock with stoppage time

e: Big George Foreman deserves mention for hanging around forever too, although he did take 10 years off in the middle.

I think it's funny people accuse Moorer of taking a dive when if you watch the fight not only does George pretty clearly catch him right before the final KO punch (his hands just drop like a foot), after the KO you can clearly see Moorer's eyes are just glass at that point

I still maintain big George was a better boxer than Ali and it took a perfect storm of circumstance for him to lose that fight

Amy Pole Her posted:

I do. It's why I'm laughing. I grew up playing tennis. It's obviously a great sport but if we're talking "what sport is impressive to play at age 50" it's not tennis.

That would be like saying a kicker at 42 and a QB at 42 would be the same. Not even close.

Playing professional style tennis is absolutely impressive to play at 50. If you're talking about those older guys who just return everything like a backboard or something but never hit any winners or drop shots and just try to outlast you, sure

(those fuckers eat me alive since I'm more of a ground stroke and volley player and suck at drop shots so I can't really force them to move and they just lob it over me if I go to the net)

Bartolo Colon is still going

One of my favorite factoids about him is that he started his career the same year Turner Field opened and has outlasted it

This works better if you have a recently dominant or at least very good team. I'd advise you to check out the Kawalimus system where you insult everyone's intelligence by claiming everything about your team is the worst ever in a transparent attempt to get attention, although you might have to find an obscure hobby to make people like you.

Although he certainly had a nice senior season with 11.5 sacks in 14 games, edge rushers who are one-hit wonders in their senior seasons rarely pan out in the NFL. The lone exception is Tamba Hali, and Hali had the additional excuse of being miscast as a defensive tackle for his two years -— an excuse Sam cannot claim. Moreover, it may not be a coincidence that Sam’s senior season coincided with the ascension of teammate Kony Ealy.
