2016 NFL Draft

[braves]

I want someone to take Jamarcus up on that waterboy thing.

that is real moneyball, browns should do it

 

[takeit]

Yeah, it would make sense to be able to see over the line a bit easier, but for whatever reason there haven't been too many successful QB's over 6'6". Could be there haven't been too many of them to begin with, that's quite possible. Flacco is the best on that list, and that's not a bad aspiration for a young, tall QB.

I read somewhere that the defense can easily see/read the eyes of a tall guy. Don't know how true that is. Maybe they are an easier target

 

[ArizonaKid]

Safe to say the biggest loser tonight is Myles Jack

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Wonder how CaptSlap is doing?

His troll about Grind a few months back was hilarious

I forget what that was ... how can you troll grind? He's so calm and pleasant all the time, lol.

wear colored contacts so they can't read them

 

[KJ]

After listening to Vernon Adams on Dan Patrick this week I can't wait to see who takes a flier on him, sounded like a chip on his shoulder

 

[takeit]

Yea - he may not even go in the 1st. All dressed up with no team to go to. Kinda sad really

 

[Lareux]

You'd imagine they wouldn't be as agile, but many of the guys on that list were/are.

 

[braves]

pats probably draft him, and he becomes an all pro next year

 

[guaranteeed]

Caps just won it in OT

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I read that defenses can read a tall quarterback's very soul through his clearly visible eyes.

 

[Joe Public]

Yeah, I'd think the height thing would be about agility. UGH, Caps win.

 

[KJ]

Yea - he may not even go in the 1st. All dressed up with no team to go to. Kinda sad really

Can mark bad interviewer in the "cons" box if you're his agent

 

[guaranteeed]

Sid saying its not in

 

[guaranteeed]

umm thats not in

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Caps win = bad news (just tonight, for me)

 

[Lareux]

wear colored contacts so they can't read them

 

[guaranteeed]

oh wait

maybe it is

 

[guaranteeed]

"I guarantee you [Norv Turner] will make him the Michael Irvin of the Minnesota Vikings." — Michael Irvin, just now, on Laquon Treadwell

 

[KJ]

Great. Interesting.

 

[takeit]

it's in

 

[braves]

haha yeah exactly

 

[Lareux]

"I guarantee you [Norv Turner] will make him the Michael Irvin of the Minnesota Vikings." — Michael Irvin, just now, on Laquon Treadwell

Hookers and blow? Nice!

 

[KJ]

Fucking knew it, opened my pie hole an hour ago and bam

 

[guaranteeed]

its in

CBC saying maybe it was offside haha

 

[braves]

they need goaline technology

 

[Joe Public]

Yeah, he snuck that puck in like Steed sneaks into your fucking hotel room late at night if you don't deadbolt the door. Goddamnit, Steed.

 

[Joe Public]

They definitely need goalline technology. Those soccer replays now are the best.

 

[Lareux]

Fucking knew it, opened my pie hole an hour ago and bam

You'll probably end up loving the pick, great situation for him to end up in. Winning team with a winning culture.

 

[guaranteeed]

They definitely need goalline technology. Those soccer replays now are the best.

the reason they can't is because there's no point on the puck that can trigger whether its over the line because of the shape

can be sideways or flat

I was watching a prem game this year, and I was confused how the ref called it a goal so quick, it looked 50/50, didn't realize there is some type of beep that goes into the ref's ear when it crosses

 

[KJ]

Could be right Lar, obviously the culture is here but man how much can a program take on and we've now lost Darryl Washington pretty much for good too. It's risk/reward no doubt

 

[guaranteeed]

American shootout hero TJ GOALSHIE

 

[guaranteeed]

its the big watch they wear, it buzzes

 

[Lareux]

its the big watch they wear, it buzzes

So the technology does exist? Why isn't the NHL using it, or talking about it?

 

[Joe Public]

Genius. Good call 'teed.

 

[guaranteeed]

And just refreshing to even see that phrase, 10 years ago we were the Lions

 

[braves]

ah okay, yeah manuk had to inform me on twitter i remember

 

[Joe Public]

The other tough thing would be the goalie's pads obscuring it. It's easier with soccer in that generally there's not a lot in the way of something seeing the ball cross the line.

 

[guaranteeed]

So the technology does exist? Why isn't the NHL using it, or talking about it?

the cameras can pinpoint the round footballs shape and know where it is

because the puck is a different shape

you could hold it sideways and its on the line, flip it around without moving it so its vertical flat and its in

 

[Lareux]

Ahhh, that's for soccer.

There still has to be a way to make it work with a puck.

 

[Joe Public]

Two words: GloPuck technology.

England could have used it in 2010 against ze germans

 

[Joe Public]

Can we also talk about how 30 NFL draft picks literally just took 3.5+ hours.

 

[braves]

Two words: GloPuck technology.

patent it

 

[guaranteeed]

the one thing I think they could do is a few more mini cameras in the goal

 

[Lareux]

the cameras can pinpoint the round footballs shape and know where it is

because the puck is a different shape

you could hold it sideways and its on the line, flip it around without moving it so its vertical flat and its in

I'm thinking more along the lines of the watch technology. No need for cameras. Sensors on the puck and the goal line. When there is a gap between the sensors, it's a goal.

 

[ArizonaKid]

Braves you hear that news about 2-3 weeks ago that the MLS agreed to fold after the 2001 season ? Jesus I hate to begin to think how disastrous that would have been for the future of USA soccer.

i watched the americans instead
