Poll of the Day > Sports Discussion Topic #163: We are sold out of Sport license plates!

(+) Yeah! (+)

wasn't joking, actually got the game

The St. Louis boys both got Golf Story. It is, as I said the other night, very cute and fun.

Matt Cain is official done forever

Wainwright will be the guy who makes me very sad very soon when he retires.

from the screenshots I saw, something about it reminded me a bit of stardew valley

It for sure has that vibe but it's like a legit story driven RPG. I didn't mention Stardew because I'm sure I sound like a broken record on that one by now.

I sure feel stupid for owning the Super Mario Galaxy games for four or five years without even touching them. I mentioned it briefly before, but Odyssey coming out has finally made me want to play them. I beat the first one a couple months ago and I'm about halfway through 2 now. They're phenomenal, other than the fact that holding the Wiimote in a pointing position is a little uncomfortable. Odyssey is going to be so awesome because the gameplay looks even more creative and I don't have to deal with a weird controller.

I used to feel the opposite about Mario that I did with Zelda - that 2D is vastly superior to 3D - but the Galaxies (Galaxys?) really make me rethink that. 3D Land/World are also pretty decent. I was just never completely sold on 64, and Sunshine was even worse.

The Galaxy games own. I prefer 2 because it's much harder and has Yoshi in it but they're both great.

I tuned in to the dolphins saints London game a few minutes into the 2nd quarter and it's probably the worst football game I've seen. It's so bad

Fuck yeah Sunday morning football

So many people at that game are about to swear off american football forever. Imagine if that was your first real taste of the sport

I like when they show the crowd at these London games. It's so random. You'll see a 4 people sitting in a row wearing pats, 9ers, Packers, and jaguars stuff, even though none of those teams are playing.

Reminds of when I went to a Chelsea vs AC Milan game in mpls last summer. It was a combination of MN ufc, Vikings, and Real Madrid attire in the stands

The other day i was in a store with sports attire and with the Rams gone the only football jerseys for sale were Brady, Rodgers, Brown, and Kelce

ick. I think you've said hardly anyone in STL likes the chiefs, but I bet next year there will be Kareem Hunt jerseys in stores everywhere

Really? It seems a lot easier to me, but maybe I'm just used to the controls and if you actually played them three years apart it would be more noticeable.

I'm interested to see if they'll ever do remasters of these Wii games. A lot of people seem convinced they're coming to Switch, but I feel like they aren't factoring in the controls. I know the Switch has motion controls, but I'm not sure if they work entirely the same, especially with SS that used motion plus. And then what about portable mode, would people just have to use the kickstand?
---

I didn't know the switch has a kickstand until just now. I'm dumb

Man why would I even bother watching the last Cards game when they put out a lineup with literally zero legit starters in it? If you don't make the playoffs you should use a real lineup assholes

But but the draft pick?

The Cardinals have 83 wins and there is no other team with 82, 83 or 84, so that doesn't make any sense
---

Oh. But but the potential for injury?

Even if they were playing for draft position, I feel like MLB teams don't really care that much, at least compared to other sports. I don't recall recently seeing a draft where there has been a "sure thing" prospect outside of the #1 pick, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I just think of the Strasburg and Harper drafts, and those guys were considered sure things, but how many people can name the #2 guys in those drafts?
---

Machado went high one of those years. That's all I can recall atm

There's always a few guys. Correa and Buxton went back to back at the top one year. But no the Cards wouldn't tank to go from like 15 to 14 or whatever it's gonna be.

I was looking at the drafts since 2010 or so and most of the 1st overall picks end up being all-stars, but it's a crapshoot after that.

I think in general teams have gotten pretty good at that very first pick at least, but you can only do so much because as we all know guys flame out all the time for any reason. But the fact that the Nats got Strasburg and Harper back to back from tanking is just insane. Neither one is the absolute best player in the world or anything but they are both great and were the two biggest draft prospects of the decade, and aside from maybe Griffey Jr. they're like the two biggest ever.

Mark Appel is looking like a bust right now but that was a really bad draft. Everyone knew he was the best talent but that he probably wasn't destined for greatness

The most unnecessary bust in recent memory was Tim Beckham because the Rays should have just picked Posey. They got too cute with it and it cost them a hall of fame caliber talent at catcher

And then there's Mark Appel...

apparently I didn't see that Missouri Kevin beat me to it, go me

Of course the Rams are good now. Literally all they had to do was replace Jeff Fisher.

Are the Patriots maybe not that good? Or at least their defense. It's not like them to give up so many points. But Tom Brady is still good, so that sucks
---

Case Keenum played like Case Keenum today.

Patriots lose!

The Falcons also lost. It's crazy that in week 4 there is only undefeated team left. We could be looking at an NFL where the Chiefs are literally the best team. What a time to be alive

Or the Patriots will just win 12 straight games like they always do when people think they look bad early in the season
---

Welcome back to Earth case keenum. He wasn't very good and looked like a backup. That's what he is though and I'm not upset at it.

I think Bradford would have won that game.

And now they think dalvin cook tore his ACL, which is cool.

I think the Rams coach is good at least for the offense. They've been scoring points way better than they did under Fisher and that's with this being the first time Gurley wasn't worthless this season (he went crazy today actually). I haven't been watching so I don't know how impressive Goff has looked but his stats have been better than any Rams QB has put up for as long as I watched them. Annoying but oh well, I knew they wouldn't be bad forever

The raiders have bad luck or Carr is very fragile

They should sign Kaepernick.

I mean, they won't, but they should.
---

Also, quick nerd question: if I'm not one to usually care about crafting or farming, should I still buy Stardew Valley?
---

Yes

It is a perfect video game so yes.

I only watched about five minutes of the Broncos game today, but they won

0-4!

Lmao Sandoval hitting a walkoff homer cost the Giants the #1 pick

and now the kneejerk reaction to dalvin cook probably tearing his ACL is "SHOULD THE VIKINGS TRADE FOR ADRIAN PETERSON?!?!"

I'm going to sell all of my stuff and go live a quiet live in the countryside and only watch golf or something

Yeah, I didn't watch, but even the highlight recap was boring me to tears. It's great how the 49ers lose 2 weeks in a row because they can't get a TD with 1st-and-goal. Take half of the salary of Hoyer and give it to Robbie Gould since he's the one scoring all the points.

I just....why? I'm going to look back on this in 5 years and cry when the Tiger's draft pick turns out to be a star.

But then again, if the Giants draft a random white infielder, they can't miss.

The crowd at the Chargers' game today was supposedly like 80% Eagles fans. If the Eagles could do that, I'm curious to see what's going to happen when the Broncos roll into town. It might be more of a home game than our actual home games

I've been enjoying watching the NFL and WWE slowly decline after they became so arrogant and also complacent because they think they'll always be on top.
