That little play action and then bloop toss to Bohanon for the TD was beautifully done.

Nah, he’s probably psyched he’s advancing further in the playoffs than the team that cut him.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Mike Mitchell expressed confidence earlier this week that the Pittsburgh Steelers were destined to face and beat the New England Patriots for the AFC Championship in Foxboro. In an interview with SI’s Greg Bishop, Mitchell said, “We’re going to play the Patriots again. We can play them…

I thought it was still getting good traffic, but was also still losing money.

What the sam hill are you talking about? I don’t like Simmons’ work any longer and haven’t for years.

Mom?

Yeah I’m with you. I don’t know anyone that really relates to Simmons any more. He’s almost exactly my age and demographic (although Daddy didn’t pay my rent while I bartended like Bill’s dad did), so his early stuff resonated strongly, but seemingly those of us in that demo have moved on a bit. Bill’s writing really…

Is The Ringer on the awareness/clicks/exposure level that Grantland was? I can’t believe that it is. He’s moving backwards.

Simmons hit a chord with a certain age/era of fans. For a while his work was extremely worthwhile.

People ask us why we harp on Bill Simmons a lot here and the answer is because he’s the most powerful, influential sportswriter in America.

Drew Bledsoe was a $100 million QB at the time. I mean, he’s not Brady, but at the time of the trade it was widely thought that the Pats had made a colossal mistake by trading him within the division.

I guess technically, Bledsoe got benched in November of that season, when he returned from the injury healthy but was not made the starter again. It’s tough to remember now, but at the time that decision was incredibly controversial and sent the Boston sports media into collective rage-gasms.

He also actually looked at the salary cap implications of either keeping both QBs or cutting Brady and keeping Jimmy, something which Wickersham never addressed.

Seriously, now I’m considering a visit there. I love checking out places I’ve never thought to go before. Thank you!

Why not make the whole plane out of Tom Cable?

Lynch was on the field for the Butler INT.

He was on the field, split left from Wilson in the backfield.

1 TO left, yes.

Belichick had noticed that Seattle was all scrambly on that last drive, twice burning time outs in stopped-clock situations. So he allowed the clock to run down after the Lynch run to the 1, gambling that Seattle would get all scrambly again. Gamble paid off.

It was 2nd down. 1st down was the four yard Lynch run down to the 1.
