They're one of those foods that tastes great when you eat the first few. but as you eat more and more taste very bitter and salty with not much else.

LSU over Clemson 41-34. Playing in New Orleans is a huge home field advantage

Ole's tenure at Man Utd has been the definition of a roller coaster. He started out extremely well, the high point being a 3-1 win at PSG that completed an incredible comeback/ However, pretty much everything since has been negative, and after the 1-1 draw hours ago, clamoring for Solskjaer's sacking has reached an all time high. This week's game at struggling Newcastle is massive. St. James' Park is one of the loudest and most intimidating grounds in football, but the team on the pitch has their own problems, and Steve Bruce the Newcastle manager faces his own cries over being sacked. 

What are your thoughts? If Solksjaer fails to get 4 points Sunday will he be sacked? If Newcastle lose by a significant margin (3-4+ goals) will Bruce be sacked? Also, as a bonus, what are your thoughts on Newcastle's tactics? A lot of Magpie fans were very angry with the defensive style they played against Brighton, as the Seagulls had 76% possession, and Newcastle generated few chances against a team they should've been able to beat.

Not big on any of the ones listed. I;ll go jazz. 

Predictions for who gets dealt? What are some needs for the top contenders? I'll be curious to see if the Yankees acquire another starting pitcher, and if the NL Wild Card teams like the Brewers Cardinals DBacks and others make a big splash or sell.

Coming into the tournament, I thought the US would win over Germany. I was honestly stunned the Germans lost to Sweden, so now I agree. Netherlands vs USA final. USA wins 2-1. However, I wouldn't be shocked if the Dutch win. The way they dominated Italy was very impressive.

Did I already post here? Anyways, I'm a 5 year debate.org vet of the same name. I found this site randomly, and almost exclusively post in the sports forums about baseball or world football.

Reactions? Who do you think got snubbed. I've seen a lot of people upset that only 3 Yankee players made it. And you could certainly make a case for Luke Voit and Gleyber Torres, however I think this year's list for the most part is accurate.

I like spiders, except giant ones.

Outside of anime and animated shows like South Park and Family guy I don't watch much tv that isn't sports. I'd day my favorite show has to be Lucas Brothers. 

Eh, I don't know. I guess it depends on the rules they're following, and their motives for following those rules.

A day late.

Skateboard along a beach somewhere, or somewhere like a forest.

it's why I haven't planned  on playing a full 18.

For all the talk of it being a bad contract, paying $30 million for a 5.7 WAR player who's only 26 is a pretty good deal. 

Water. No joke. And orange juice.

Post-rock. 

That's the best case scenario. At least for all O's fans.

I like these predictions and there are actually none that I disagree with on the AFC side. Even with how good the Chargers are, picking them to go into Foxborough and win is bold. However, I actually agree with you completely for that game.

As for the NFC side, I agree in terms of seeing the Saints advancing to the Super Bowl. Getting to play all their NFC games in the Superdome is a huge advantage. There is one game I disagree with though. I can't see the Seahawks beating the Cowboys in Dallas. They're 4-4 on the road this year, and the first matchup did not see Dallas feature Amari Cooper in their offense. The Cowboys are also 7-1 at home this year, and are 9-3 in one-possesion games this year. 

The defense for the Ravens is getting totally overlooked. 

Looks like this year held chalk. I'd be stunned if it isn't Alabama Clemson again.

So with Showalter fired, who takes over the manager job? It's anyones guess, and Mike Bordick is the only known candidate as of now.
