Never understood how receiving stolen property is a crime. Unless it can be proven a person knew it was stolen, it doesn’t make any sense
Woah... even bigger news here... Trevor Lawrence will take his entire signing bonus in crypto and has signed an endorsement deal with Blockfolio which is a crypto exchange.
I think it has to be a crime because without it, there would be chaos. I mean what would stop someone from giving you a car? Hey, I found this car, I'm giving it to you.Never understood how receiving stolen property is a crime. Unless it can be proven a person knew it was stolen, it doesn’t make any sense
I've posted on this before, it amazes me how much sports shows focus on the NFL. Your favorite team has a game day on 4% of the days of any given year. Yet so much time is devoted to the NFL?My LORD we need to get this draft over with, post haste.
ESPN is even more unwatchable with the draft talk. It is just speculation. UGH this sucks.

Probably some truth there, but I also think alot of this has to do with sports betting, fantasy football. Football is an easier follow for alot of fans because you can casually follow football, it's once a week during the season. You can know a little or alot about your teams. For a sport like baseball, you have to bore in and really put some work in to follow your team.The focus is on the NFL because that is what generates by far the most listeners. If people wanted to hear about tiddlywinks with the same interest, you would get that much time devoted to tiddlywinks.
When sports shows talk about other sports, people turn to another station
Baseball has it's issues and has been unwilling to force the pace of play. But I enjoy the daily grind of baseball and while many of the novice fans see it as dead time, there is pitch selection, pitch set up going on continuously during an at bat.Because the modern day American sports fan finds it exciting. It is easy to bet on and plan around while many modern sports fans see the sport with the most games, baseball, as drudgery with 4 hour games with 3:45 of dead time and only a half dozen teams able to possibly win a championship. I love baseball and grew up with it, but I am more in the minority by the day.
The pace is slowed down by guys adjusting both batting gloves after each pitch, their helmet, elbow brace, etc.Baseball has it's issues and has been unwilling to force the pace of play.

That is a terrible rule, but the way games are managed now with pitching staffs, teams complained that a 12-15 inning game ruins their staff for days. I just wish we'd stop coddling pro athletes. If you are a pitcher, pitch. There are guys in the bullpen who don't pitch for a week, then if they pitch two days in a row you have to sit them a day?? And we have the same numbers of guys hurt now as we did in the 70's.The pace is slowed down by guys adjusting both batting gloves after each pitch, their helmet, elbow brace, etc.
I know they want to speed things up, but I can't stand the automatic guy on second in the tenth inning.
I tell people all the time that I'll see them tomorrow if I don't get hit by a bus first. Can't take anything for granted.Restarting the NFL chat - you hear K. Shanahan's comments about Jimmy G? When asked if Jimmy G would play for San Fran in the future he made some comment like "I'm not sure - with the way things are going do we even know if we will be alive tomorrow" or something like that. Crazy.
Baseball has rules in place to keep the game moving, the umpires just choose not to enforce them. When you get a chance, watch Reds Wade Miley pitch. This should be shown to all pitchers. He never leaves the mound between pitches. It's all about tempo. And the biggest reason baseball games are longer from the 70's is the 2-3 minute commercial break between innings. Go to a high school/ college game sometime that's not on TV. You don't need more than 90 seconds between innings. Now you'll have to convince baseball that they need to cut away sponsors to keep games moving. I really think if MLB promoted 2 1/2 to 3 hour games instead of 4 hour games, some fans may come back.Go to YouTube and watch a MLB game from the '70s, it seems like a completely different game then what is played today. One idea I have for cutting down the time is to have the batters wear whatever they have in the box on the base path. I see these guys f-ing with all this stuff all the time and it is sometime unbearable. They get on to 1st base and then the bat boy almost needs a bag to take this stuff back to the dugout. On the pitching side maybe only allow one set of signals and that's it, one of the slowest things is seeing catcher and pitcher go through a series of signals and then the catcher getting up and visiting the mound to talk through this.
Finally not to make this a MLB discussion but the Indians and Twins had a half inning that went for over 20 minutes yesterday with not one ball being in play. The Indians scored 2 runs on 4 walks and 2 hit batsmen. I happened to tune in at the start and it was like watching a slow motion train wreck. How about finding some talent that can throw some strikes?
Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Jimmy G!Restarting the NFL chat - you hear K. Shanahan's comments about Jimmy G?

Not a Jags fan, but great move by Urban Meyer to bring in Tim Tebow. He doesn't even have to play or make the team to have an impact. He's a winner, always has been and will lift that team. Maybe a tone setter.
