Agreed. I guffawed at a .9 Magary Level.

Every single time a college coach tries his tough guy histrionics to “motivate” the team, somebody should whip out that photo of George Woodruff and force him to bow before it.

I’d set the line at Clemson-96. It would be higher, but too many Penn players would be dead to continue the game.

The idea that Ball is one of three, and Rajon Rondo is the only other one to have done it seems statistically unlikely to me.

FYI, we’re joke bros now

So you’re telling me that NFL teams can adjust their offenses based on personnel? Huh.

Having Tony Romo call this game was AWESOME. His enthusiasm and expertise shined on every series and unlike the useless humps every other network employs he was able to communicate the more intricate concepts behind the Ravens offense. The Browns did slow them down during their second half comeback. But instead of…

Pardon me, but my understanding is that mid-Atlantic NFL teams are not allowed to retool their offenses when their starting quarterbacks get injured.

yes let’s all make fun of the genius who is trying to make the world a better place with his money as opposed to the smart people who sit all their ass and collect cheques while ruining the environment, acquiring as many assets as possible, and not giving a single fuck about the other 99.999% of the country, let’s…

Because how else are people supposed to know when theyre ready for some football?

he will have his other homilies reviewed by a priest mentor

Historical data says that teams have a ~70% chance on 4th and 1 and ~70% of scoring a touchdown from 1st and goal from the 5 (However, 4 attempts instead of 3 may increase the odds to as much as 85%). As a result going for it gives you odds of .7 * .85 = 60% chance of scoring a go ahead touchdown.

The link isn’t working for me. I’m having a really hard time understanding how this can possible be the worst call “on record,” even if “on record” only goes back 7 years.  People can disagree with it, but the logic seems sound to me.  And it almost worked.  They just needed another 15-20 yards to get into FG range…

The probability models based on historical success rates can’t factor in situational variables. Like, in this case, the percentage doesn’t know that Denver was getting stood up on most of its running plays and was struggling to do much of anything in the air.

The success numbers I’ve seen for 4th and 1 are around 60%. Even if they get the first down, there’s no assurance they score a touchdown. If you go for it and don’t get the touchdown, your chances of winning are miniscule. In light of that, how could going for it possibly have a chance of winning of 59.8%? The…

Carcasonne!! My four-year old beat me when we played.

The trades to pick up the 8th and 19th picks in the first round (Chicago’s and Dallas’s 2018 draft order and consistent with 2019 expectations) might look a lot better if those trades hadn’t directly caused the picks to move down to their currently projected 25th and 26th.

You’d be amazed. Raiders fans travel well, thanks to the massive bus fleet owned by the California Department of Corrections.

You know what the NFL should do? And I’m serious here... every time a player is accused of something violent, hire TMZ to truly get to the bottom of it. Not the police, not their internal investigation team, not the player, not the victim.
