I'm trying so hard to like Hockey

i enjoy watching but get bored quickly. i find myself online while the game is on. while watching a panthers game, i'm focused on every play. growing up in a small town in the south, i knew nothing of hockey except for the olympics.

one question though, why don't they get a really big fat guy to play goalie? they could crane in one of those guys that can't get off his couch and plop him down in front of the net and block 90% of it.

you'd think they'd have really big defensive tackle type guys playing goalie.

i miss football. i wish summer would be over already.

I love watching hockey, but I'd rather see it in person.

this is true. hockey is so much better in person than on TV.

that said, hockey in HD is really really good. SD hockey is pretty unwatchable. its impossible to find the puck

enjoying game 2of the finals tonight. pulling for chicago as i pretty much hate all philadelphia teams and liked watching jordan and the bulls and walter payton so i hope chicago wins.

i just hate philadelphia sports in general. i even pulled for clubber lang to beat rocky.

i think i'll give it a legit shot next season and follow it all season.

i still love my game 7 in the NBA with everything on the line. ive been to every major sport live except football which i plan to go to later this year. Hockey and Basketball are great to me live. Baseball however bored me to tears. i had to go to 3 games, i skipped the 4th

    • It’s not new. That particular claim has largely disappeared because it has become untenable, but a few games into his rookie year when the playbook/gameplan/personnel/everything was terrible there was endless claims, posts, even threads made that Bryce Young was physically incapable of throwing the ball 20 yards downfield in the NFL. It was also argued that physically throwing the ball 20 yards in the NFL was somehow different than college. Once he threw the ball 20 yards, the goal posts moved to 30 yards, etc. I’m not going to use the search function for you, the point wasn’t as much that one claim as it was that that was one claim out of many that has made it very difficult to have a reasonable discussion here.
    • I mean, I can get a ball downfield 40 yards.  There would be a couple massive issues with me doing it.   My ball placement would be off the charts bad.  Second, for me to get it 40 yards I'm gonna have to moon it......which would give DBs the opportunity to make plays on balls that wouldn't exist if a better QB were throwing it.  Which is all an exaggerated explanation of the Bryce issue.  To many play the literal game w/ Bryce when it comes defending him.  Every NFL QB likely can loft one up around 50 yards.  Every QB in the NFL can't get a ball 30 yards downfield in the same windows.  Or the same ball placement.  That's the Bryce issue.    But I also think mixed into that is just his QB DNA.    Take a young Brees, it was in his DNA to stress defenses and takes shots.  He would flat out be Delhomme-ish at times.  Which is coverage and assignment altering.  Brees would throw balls into triple coverage 40 yards downfield.  Is that smart? Sometimes it is.  Not because the play gets made but you force the secondary to play honest.  
    • Tbf were not going to the superbowl this year so the development of our young wr is invaluable  As a side note 5 of our wr are in their 2nd year or less ( t Mac, Coker, tremayne, horn, x)  It's def a promising youth movement
