Agreed. The Emmitt bit has become more and more obscure. It’s funny to read a play on words, it’s not fun to repeat it over and over because you have zero idea what the author was thinking. I usually skip it anymore. Used to be funny; now, not so much.

I thought that was the hormone that helped you sleep.

JJ Watt would have have played regardless of the weather.

This comment is grossly under-appreciated.

“They weren’t flooding in his area...” Who is the “they” that was flooding in his area? And “the water that was a little high...” So now you guys have pot smoking water in Texas? Guessing you should pre-read your post before you hit “publish”.

The fact that the attacker’s momentum carries him into the box doesn’t make it a PK. The infringement is judged where it happens and not where the players stop or land.

With 86% of statistics being made up on the spot, I’m 58.4% sure he’s 73% correct that football will be safer by 2-3.12%.
