RIP: Hit King #14

Let’s not forget that Pete ONLY bet on his own team !
That is not acceptable just because it was his own team. A manager who bet on his own team is biased as to decision making, such as when to pull his pitcher.
Great player, not the best person. Did you watch the Charlie Hustle documentary on Max? It wasn’t a flattering portrayal of his life.
Local radio made a good point, Is it the Hall of Fame or the Hall of Good Behavior?

#1, #4, #9, #10, and #11 all lost

Absurd!

After 4/5 weeks you say those are the best teams...

based on what?
What someone else is telling you.

I swear the sheep never fail to astound me with these blind broad brush trendy statements.

Funny...so the Bama/UGA game...whoa everyone says what a game. This is the two best teams because look at that score and how it happened.
Alrighty then...it was a good game. Period. Nothing more. Nothing less. Either team might not be that special. If two average teams play a good game against each other it's not earth shattering. It's simply a good game.

I hate the polls. Polls should NOT be allowed to publish rankings until week 7. Playoff rankings ...the last week of the season.

By week 7 there will be some teams that have played some decent opponents. One can get an idea how teams should be ranked. By week 7 the SEC teams refuse playing north the mason dixon line so keep that in mind while the talking heads guide your thinking to rankings.

A week 7 poll also doesn't penalize teams for having started the year unranked.
NOBODY is ranked to start. After week 7 any undefeated teams can't be ranked lower than any defeated teams. It doesn't matter about any hypotheticals. Period.

BUT...

polls sell copy and get clicks and people can't help themselves dying to know in March where "their" team will be ranked for the season that will start in only 6 months.

End of rant.
Ohio St is loaded with talent and the games have born that out. The rest seem to be vulnerable due to transfers and turnover.

#1, #4, #9, #10, and #11 all lost

I still think UGA, Texas, OSU, Bama, are the best teams but it shows this could be a wild year.

7th UGA player

I believe that is the program that we want Notre Dame to become.
I would bet if you took a silent poll on the matter and nobody put their name behind their vote...

there's probably a lot more that simply would vote yes in taking those bad headlines for all the good headlines.

Listen...

I would take an arrest or two if we can just simply get a QB that throws the ball more than 40 yards, is a little more accurate than a six foot radius, and god forbid....CLEARING MY THROAT...GOD FORBID...
a QB that THROWS THE BALL DOWN THE DAMN FIELD.

If you can give me a QB like that just once a decade I'll deal with a few arrests here and there. Just once a decade. At this point that would be significantly more frequent than once per quarter of a century.

Sad days we're living here boys that we just can't get a QB..
AT NOTRE DAME.
The most important position and we can't recruit one and or lure one in the star trek portal that isn't another team's table scraps.

We get good linemen and TE's though so there's always that. You know...those game breaking TE's! YAY!!!

So the F what? Does he beat up his wife? Does he scare little kids and act like some kind of creep? If he was bit of a hard character which he appears to have been, that is America and he is an avatar. Makes him even better. Sometimes you get Tom Brady, who's this unathletic, gangly dude who can't run but has this youthful competitive gift, and if he can't run well he'll just play sports where you don't have to run like playing QB in football, and I think he was a serious baseball prospect as well, like a catcher or something. And he's just this dorky suburban kid who loves sports and cries when he doesn't get drafted high enough. And then you have hardasses like Pete Rose who seems like a decent enough athlete as far as it goes, and just a gruff dude who treats playing baseball for a living like it's way better than driving a cab or pulling a shift at the local bottling plant and would never cry ever about anything. And that's why he got 4000 hits.

It was probably a hit job meant to make him look as bad as they could plausibly make him look. Now that professional sports is this glossy playground for the billionaire class, and for computer geeks with their algorithmic 'analytics', and someone like Tom Brady is everyone's wet dream. By contrast Pete Rose is an embarrassment, he's white trash, and a target for millennial sports grifters and hangers on for their latest cool doc. If you're a real professional sports fan, you would demand this guy get in to the HOF.
It's this simple....

If they can't prove....
he bet on his team to lose, which then means he only bet on his team to win...
which is what you're supposed to do. Do what you can to win. Unless someone CAN PROVE otherwise then he should've been in the HOF the moment he could've been eligible.

Was he the greatest hitter ever? No. That debate can be endless. My vote is Ty Cobb.

That said was he an incredible "baseball player" that played with a heart bigger than his body with no care for life and limb....
his effort and energy wasn't matched by many and certainly belongs in the HOF.

While I agree with your conclusion, I disagree with your description of Tom Brady.

You don’t play quarterback in the NFL for 20+ years until you’re 45 by being a pansy.
You get the shit kicked out of you on most plays.
Mental toughness usually trumps physical toughness and he’s mentally tough.
And yes, he was an excellent baseball player.

If personal conduct and character were qualifications for getting into the HOF, they would be a lot fewer busts in the hallway
