created a topic NBA Referee Matchup stats
in Covers Help

Hi, up till this year, Covers used to update the matchups each day with the scheduled referees along with their relevant stats.

This was very useful information as some refs definitely contribute towards the totals if nothing else.

This season the matchups don't seem to include this info anymore, altho I do see the standalone referee stats page.

I hope you bring this info back, because it's a pain hunting the ref schedules and then having to scan for the relevant stats.

Hi. Covers used to post the listed referees for each game as part of the matchups, along with the relevant referee stats for those teams and situations.

This was very useful.

Is this not listed anymore?

I'm not sure what your injury source is but you are missing major injuries.

Just to name two, you don't have Tua listed for Miami nor McCaffrey for SF.

Obviously, knowledgeable people are aware of these very public injuries, but if you're missing these I have to wonder how accurate you are with the lesser known players. Should I trust your listings?

Yeah, it doesn't make sense even from a terrorism fighting level.

We've been told that the fear has been foreign terrorists receiving funding from outside the US to perform evil deeds possibly within our country.

Apparently the new fear must be terrorists receiving funding from American sources and using that to perform evil deeds outside the USA.

So why am I getting groped at the airport again?

This is not the place, but I thought I would tell you guys my dead-simple way to have a college football playoff system and still please everybody.

This year (and every year) there are 35 bowl games stretched out over four weeks, so we have plenty of time.

Start with the top 16 teams - nobody can seriously complain if they are not ranked in the top 16, right?

OK, the first weekend of Bowl season - the week before Christmas, from Friday to Monday - there are eight bowl games. 16 vs. 1, etc.

Yes, right now there are not eight games scheduled that weekend, but how do you think the Independence Bowl would answer if asked to choose between a Dec 26th game between NC and Missouri, or a Dec 18th game with National Title implications? If they don't want to move, then somebody else would.

Next weekend... same thing. the remaining eight are narrowed to four.

Next weekend... same thing.

The second weekend of January you can have the consolation prize on Saturday night (if they still want to play), and the Championship on Monday.

Presto. 

Solved:
- We have an undisputed Champion.
- Nobody ranked #17 can seriously complain if they are not in the playoff. Maybe they shouldn't have lost those 2 games.
- We turned 15 or 16 bowl games that were previously meaningless with minimal TV ratings into interesting games.
- There are still 20 bowl games left, so Notre Dame will still find a game and there are plenty of choices for a Wednesday night game.
- 6-6 teams might not get rewarded with a bowl game.

About the only downside I can find is the colleges might complain about the travel and planning.

Boo-hoo. The pros do it every year.

There's lots of room for tweaks (maybe the top few teams get byes into the second round?), but I think the basic gist works.

Thoughts?

Does the VIN on the car match your paperwork?

If not, then you might want to get a friend to steal that car from you.

They get a brand new car with an untracked VIN, so they can sell it for top dollar. You get a new car from the insurance company.

Wow. I did miss a lot.

Personally I believe Tebow is the Antichrist...

He looks like Jesus, walks like Jesus, talks like Jesus, but ultimately those who believe in him will be denied the ultimate salvation that can only be achieved with an actual passing game.

Hey guys, I've been away for a while. The last time I checked into this thread, it had like 20 posts.

Can somebody sum up the arguments nicely for me so I don't have to do all that reading?

Thanks.

Yes, it's rape. 

And yes, she's old and not that good looking - although I suspect she would look a lot better if she tarted herself up a bit because nobody looks good in a booking photo.

However...

I'm not sure who said it before, but the only longterm problem this kid is going to have is possibly rotator-cuff surgery from receiving so many high-fives.

I have iTunes. Who doesn't?

I've never don't that before tho. That's a subscription, right? I always thought you had to pay for those, but I guess not... loooking at it now.

I'll think about it.

The audio thing is a good idea tho. Maybe if I could set it to automatically turn on at the right time, it would work awesome.

Can I do that?

shit braskyman, don't tell me that. I loaded up on them!

seriously tho. i already like most of today's calls so it was an easy sell.

VSD: To answer your question, i'm an old fashioned guy and I just never think of using my computer for video. I forget the show is on and just go about my business. Plus I listen to tunes so it interrupts my day to actually watch something.

Hey man, notice how I'm not giving away the spoilers?

OK, since I started a thread about your show about an hour ago and nobody answered, I'll chirp in.

first. I'm not much of an online video guy. so I'm a tough crowd.

I watched the show about a week or so ago and didn't get back to it again until today because i never really thought about and didn't see the banners Covers was showing today.

Much better. Teddy is looking a lot smoother than my first watch. I think you guys must definitely be doing a lot of research because you pull out stats and trends a that I have no idea about and I like to think I'm pretty informed.

Anyway I'll reserve my opinoon until I know if your picks at the end gave me any winners 

Seriously. I will watch again, but i probably won't be a regular because i just don;t watch a lot of web video.

but if you want opinons you should probably point people to the show

Watched the Covers podcast today for the second time.

I thought I had a good handle on the Bama/LSU game, but they broke it down in a couple of ways I wasn't expecting.


I'm a fan right now, but if their money time picks go sour, I'll change my mind.
