- Wings, easily. Generally not a chili fan, and nachos irritate me. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 11, 10:22 1
  - piled nachos aren’t my fave either, a more sheet-pan spread is my method of choice. — nm - i.b.! Feb 11, 10:29
- Nachos for snacking, chili for a legit meal.............. wings. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 10:18 1
  - same, except the last part. ;) - — nm - i.b.! Feb 11, 10:27

- EDGAR MARTINEZ -- nm - crash davis 😺 Feb 11, 10:16
- That's a tough set of criteria. I'd argue that Karl Malone wasn't an MVP player until his 30s. But he was notable before then. R.A. Dickey in MLB? -- nm - David Feb 11, 10:15 1
  - Dickey's a good example -- my reasoning is i"m trying to downsize my card collection and I'm going to group the rookies/prospects by birth year. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 10:20

  - He was already a 30-30 guy at 24 years old...he'd hit 25+ homers for 5 years in a row before he went for 66. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 10:08
- Tough one. Arguably Neville Southall and Peter Shilton in soccer, both goalieswhose fame in large part was down to their excellence despite their age. -- nm - Loyola Feb 11, 10:01

  - "as a pick-up strategy" - very admirable, I say -- nm - mud Feb 11, 09:46 1
    - "I like it but don't quite undertand the rules. We could watch some games together and..." - Marlowe Feb 11, 10:01

  - The current fix works, imo. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 09:39 2

  - Evolve as a person, not a sports fan. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 10:21 2
    - You knew exactly what I was talking about :) -- nm - crash davis 😺 Feb 11, 10:23 1
      - I'm the guy the year the Patriots and Eagles played who rooted for the Patriots solely because the Eagles had never won one while the rest of the NFC - Will Hunting Feb 11, 10:35
- 3 - which is high for me. I'd prefer 49s just cause Purdy was a Cyclone, but it doesn't matter that much to me. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 11, 10:13

- 3 -- KC wins; they're locking down the dynasty and keeping Mahomes on a GOAT path. 49er's win, Shanahan Jr gets validated as a great coach. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 09:29 4
  - SF loses, Shanahan is Marv Levy -- nm - Strongbad Feb 11, 09:30 3
    - Nah -- he's in his 2nd as HC -- he's not there yet. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 09:38 2
      - 28-3 is on him as well. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 11, 10:02 1
        
        Maybe as well...but I'd say it's more on the DC who gave up the 4 scores to get to even. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 10:07

The pads vs no pads is a huge fight right now in girls lacrosse. Right now they don’t have pads and it is supposed to be “non-contact” -- (edited) - spamlet Feb 11, 08:53 5
- lacrosse is one of the most violent sports I've watched. They all use their sticks like the worst hockey players out to hurt someone -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Feb 11, 09:04
- I've always wondered that -- the ball still hurts like a motherfucker, right? Sticks do hit...why the hell would they not demand protection - Will Hunting Feb 11, 08:56 3
  - Honestly not many girls get all that hurt by sticks and balls. A girl that can’t control her stick won’t play long and there are more safety rules. - spamlet Feb 11, 09:18 2
    - Wait, what? There's a rule that you can't shoot if a defender is between you and the goal? - Will Hunting Feb 11, 09:30 1
      - Yes to both. You have to play man defense and be within a certain distance of an offensive player unless they are behind the goal. -- nm - spamlet Feb 11, 09:47
