I’ve watched a very unhealthy amount of football over the last 25 years and I think I’ve seen maybe 3 total flags for pick plays in the NFL in that time. But you see pick plays at least 5 times in every game. I wish the NFL would either remove the rule against pick plays or actually call them. This whole “It’s…

Ford was obviously lined up in the neutral zone, but shouldn’t that have been an illegal formation penalty before the ball was snapped? The LT was lined up in the backfield. 

Tom’s psuedoscientific TB12 crap is enough to make anyone with a decent head on their shoulders hate him. He seriously believes that drinking ocean water is a good idea and that sleeping in compression pajamas has some kind of physical benefit.

Though I don’t hate Brady nearly as much as I hate his legion of fans.…

Pretty much every big man the Bucks rolled out in that period who got significant minutes, except maybe Andrew Bogut, fits really well. Dan Gadzuric, John Brockman, Ervin “Not Magic” Johnson, Joel Przybilla, Scott Williams, Charlie Villanueva...

I used to do a lot of work in the Toronto area, so I’d go up there for business like 1 week every other month, and I never got the fascination with Tim Horton’s. The first time I went there I asked for my coffee black and they looked at me like a space alien, and I figured out why pretty quickly. It tastes like crap…

So many people have done crazy in-depth research of dozens of middle school AAU kids. I’d have given up after realizing 80+% of them end up getting a scholarship to Texas State or Northern Illinois and never even make it on TV.

I don’t get this “No one believed in us, we’ve been underdogs all season” talking point that comes from the Patriots. You were home favorites in a playoff game. You were supposed to win. I guess most people didn’t expect the absolute shellacking that occurred, but it’s not like anyone’s surprised that they’re in the…

Probably my #1 problem with them are smug Warriors fans online. I’m sick of every discussion involving the Warriors becoming Warriors-fan saying this “Is only gaem? Y U so mad becuz Warriors good?” question. I hope every Warriors fan has this interaction with their child one day.

Kid: “Dad, what was it like to watch…

The Pats had the 6th best scoring defense in the NFL this year. A lot of teams wish they had a defense that “shitty”. 

The whole “coaches scouting Pee Wee football” thing is kind of already happening in the NCAA. I remember a few years ago Lane Kiffin offered a scholarship to a 13 year old. Lovie Smith offered a scholarship to a 10 year old last year. The odds are severely stacked against those kids, imo, but a bunch of coaches are…

I just looked up the PFR combine numbers for 2010, and Antonio Brown’s numbers basically show him as a smaller and slower version of Golden Tate. Scouting reports said he had mediocre hands and wasn’t a very physical player, and that’s against MAC competition. Maybe character concerns did make him fall? But based on…

LSU held Alabama to 29. UCF hung 32 on LSU. Hang the banner!

Back in the ‘80s there were no cheap baskets. You always had to earn your baskets, and if you went to the rim, you’d get put on your ass.

I’d probably argue even further that market size matters less than nothing in the NFL. When was the last time a free agent willingly chose to play in New York over playing in Nashville or Phoenix? Every once in a while you get a case like Eli Manning refusing to play for San Diego or John Elway refusing to play for…

Harden has 4,974 made field goals in his career, and 5,160 made free throws in his career. That’s just mind-boggling to me.

For reference, Dwyane Wade has 8,179 FGs and 5,607 FTs. 

I’ve always been skeptical of these TV “talent evaluators” and how much they actually can evaluate talent in comparison to just having sources within teams. I mean, how do you know who to put at spot 19 vs spot 20 between the 3rd best LT and the 2nd best Safety? They do complete different things on the field, so how…

He just trounced the Packers at Lambeau. No matter the circumstances, that’ll buy you at least 2 seasons of goodwill with any NFC North franchise.

Tom “I Don’t Care About Stats, I Care About Wins” Brady was out there winging the ball around while up by 28 late in the 4th against the Jets. I don’t care if NFL teams want to run up the score, but I hate when QBs pretend they don’t know how close they are to some kind of record or milestone. 

Ron Zook is possibly the worst coordinator in the NFL. I don’t know why the Packers allowed him to leave the stadium as an employee of the team. Ever since he showed up in Green Bay, the Packers have had the worst special teams in the NFL by a lot. 35 year old Tramon Williams was fielding punts for the majority of the…

Toilolo split out wide one second after they lined up for the kick and no one bothered to run out there to cover him.
