I think he meant that every goal line play is a fade route, not that they fail to utilize fade routes on other parts of the field.

Robert Evans MVP watch is probably my single favorite thing about life right now. I savor every word like a fine whisky.

Drew, I hope that someday you might be able to schedule a conversation with Emmitt Smith and Robert Evans. The world must have this moment.

Seriously, the 5 throwgasm games include the Lions and the Cardinals?!?! I'll be gobsmacked.

I know this is going to come across as a severe disappointment but that 2.5% is only fruit juice. Hopefully it is the juice of some crazy Japanese uranium-filled cancer fruit.

Sign seen in Patriots' locker room:

If video games have taught me anything, it's that the short double-cross routes to the tight ends inside the five-yard line has a Football Outsiders-confirmed expected value of 6.00 points per play. Fuck the fade route indeed.

I think of that line any time I eat at a fancy-ish restaurant, even though it's the second best line on that episode. First place goes to "Where you going, baby? Going to get the corpses?"

Yes... so long since they beat the Ravens in 2010. I'm just happy that they make the playoffs and consistently make it to the later rounds. When did it become acceptable for Patriots fans to think Super Bowl or bust? I feel like we are all going to get a rude awakening in like four years when Brady and Belichick say…

If my Kanji is correct, it's 2.5% fruit juice , 菓 汁

You need the still of the plate at the end of the meal too...

Spot on re: 30 for 30. What was better than the OJ 30 for 30? No talking heads, no interviews at all! It was great.

As a Patriots fan I enjoy that not only does the team enrage you but the idiot media guys that I don't read also enrage you.

This.

WTF Kinja. Wanted to say, haughty dipshit he may be, but this was pretty funny.

I work in a bar on Sundays & the top half of this article about the Giants sounds like every Giants fan in said bar on Sunday, cursing up a storm about the fade. How the hell do you not even try ONE running play? Or try something else on 3rd down when the fade didn't work on the first two tries?

Everyone here in New England automatically tunes Simmons out when he's not talking about basketball.

Very well, lobster stuffed with tacos.

"Fuck the fade route."
