Re: Unrelated but why was Andy Reid calling Time Outs for the Bucs?
At the end of the first half when Tampa only had 1 time out left. Andy Reid called 2 time outs that enabled Tampa to score a TD right at the end of the half that effectively put the game out of reach. I could maybe just kind of understand the first one but the second one when it was 3rd and 2? Why?...

Re: 2020-21 Schedule (top post is current)
I haven’t been able to follow college basketball, including the Rams, as much as I like to this season, so the team might have addressed this, but have they mentioned any plans for that gap between 2/16 and 3/2? It looked good at the time to have that break if they needed to make up games, but they...

How bout the coach taking over with a lot of intensity from the bench? It might become contagious. Intensity from the bench? Like Tom Landry, Bill Belichick, Jay Wright.
