I’m almost as concerned by the playcalling. Team was running the ball effectively and then used that to set up play action where all the passes were dump offs to the tight ends. Facing Cleveland who was missing 3 starters from its secondary and barely calling any deep plays seems insane to me.

Chubb is a beast tho. …

true, its a dirty, helmet-to-helmet hit on a defenseless player - but if anything it was early and not late

You’re correct, it’s a bad headline. There was nothing late about the hit, it was just an egregiously dirty one. 

It wasn’t a late it, it was flagged as “unnecessary roughness.”  Given that the receiver had a knee on the ground and a second defender in the process of touching him down, a full tackle to the head wasn’t necessary and was over the top physically. Hence, the flag. 

I hate my alma mater for thinking it needs to be, or is even capable of being, a good football team.

It’s not a club America until you add bacon to that chunk of meat.

Except that not using a truck to full capacity often consists of somebody daily-driving a crew cab longbed by themselves. Sure, the driver feels superior with their high seating position and 3-4 tons of metal surrounding them! The problem is that everybody else on the road can barely see past you, whilst hoping to God…

Really disagree with this, particularly the sports car part of the analogy. They’re actually pretty antithetical to each other. Torch or somebody made this point in an article about being a ‘tough guy’ on the road a little while ago. There are fewer small, interesting cars on the road because these behemoths make it…

perhaps his insane dedication to working out after grueling games of football will help him

That’s because you collapsed from heat exhaustion within sight of the finish line!

You beat me by 6 minutes.

Sounds like perfect weather for a prestigious quadrennial soccer tournament!

Not hard if you are lucky. A lot of McMansions have that open floor concept so you just need to punch through the 1-2 pieces of exterior framing. Which shouldn’t be hard for multi-ton vehicle moving at speed. The siding on those is mostly decorative, and the plywood or OSB is intended to keep the building from…

Houses are pretty overbuilt in that way. This one still had about three and three-quarters of its walls and the header that spreads the load across all those remaining studs in that wall was probably intact. (In another important aspect, the damage was not only small compared to the size of the house, but really…

When you think about it, he went through maybe four 2x4's — maybe 2x6s or 2x8's because of the height, but still, sticks — and some wood siding and sheathing, and on the inside, drywall. That’s pretty stout with respect to its intended loads, but not meant to stop a speeding truck, so no surprise that it won’t.

I was wondering how this mofo managed to crash into the back-side of their house. Here it is on Google street view.

Whatabout whatabout whatabout whatabout ....

I saw that when I first woke up and just assumed that Politico was more wild than I thought. Perfect headline.

Trump has been committing impeachable offenses since before he was even elected. 

A classic for people in the know from Michigan:
