It was just a poorly designed and executed bubble screen, and also a very well read play by the ROLB (not DE). The LT was supposed to keep him at bay if he rushed the QB, but there wasn’t a whole lot he could do about it when the ROLB saw the play coming a mile away and didn’t engage. Terrible all around, which is…

I would presume they do the normal field goal kick because they’re more accurate that way. Also, and this is pure speculation on my part, they may not be comfortable doing their regular kickoff without a tee, since it will sit an inch or two lower.

Correct. If the kick is missed, possession goes to the defense at the spot of the kick. Also, they can attempt to return the ball if it falls short, just like a field goal attempt, so that’s also in play. But because the defense has to line up 10 yards away and can’t move until the ball has been kicked, it’s worth a…

It’s not that the fair catch would only happen at the end of the half, it’s that the call for a fair catch kick would only happen at the end of a half. If there’s still time on the clock, you run your usual or two-minute offense. But with only 2-3 seconds left, you’re not going to do much with the ball, so a fair…

Maybe because it didn’t involve trying to check something the Pats are doing.

According to the young lady’s twitter feed, it wasn’t an illegal termination. Their reasoning for firing her was for her long nails and using her phone in the food preparation area being a health hazard. Now, whether or not those suddenly became issues only because the video went viral is another story, but she…

I’ve never been to Panera, so I don’t know what the expectation of quality is, but I would presume a lot of people thought that the food was at least made in house, and kept in chafing dishes or something of that ilk. I don’t know why that would be preferable to the sous vide method of reheating it, which at least…

In my experience, it’s the former. Once upon a time I worked at a pizza place that worked with a delivery service that was a precursor to these apps. To order through them, prices were 15-25% higher, with a service charge and a flat-rate delivery fee. We only learned their prices were higher when a customer came in…

Some apps have just a delivery fee, but some will charge you a percentage of your bill as well as the delivery fee (some instead of).
But it gets even better. If you compare the app’s menu to the restaurant’s, there’s a good chance that they’re also charging you more than the restaurant would to order directly.

As a Dolphins fan, I’m really enjoying this. On the one hand, after years of disappointing mediocrity, I’m fully embracing the tank. On the other, I’m really enjoying the Browns shit the bed after so many people used them as an example of why tanking works so well. All of those people were acting like the 2 years of…

That’s what really bugs me about these celebratory locker room interviews. I don’t expect any reporter to be able to walk into the locker room and walk away dry. The very nature of these celebrations, much like when players get the Gatorade treatment, means that the reporter is going to get splashed. But to…

There are two things that strike me about that video.

The first is how amazingly stupid she is. Not just because she’s clearly a racist trying to pretend she’s not, but she should have realized that she would have had absolutely no cover for any of this. There was no way to even try and pretend that she was sitting…

Hmm... when I first saw the title in my RSS feed, I thought it was an ice cream recipe, probably due to my new found hobby of making ice cream. This could be an interesting flavor to try and figure out. 

Completing a catch still requires both feet (or one knee etc., etc.) to come down in bounds. I can’t say definitively that his left foot came down in bounds before it was out, so I can’t disagree with the review taking place, or with the decision to uphold the ruling on the field because there was no conclusive…

No re-kick. It’s a choice of 25 yards from the spot of the kick, or where the ball goes out of bounds. 

Complaining about penalties (or lack thereof) is one of the reasons that I hate watching games around people. Especially when it comes to holding, I always hear “they could call that on almost every play”. And while that may be true, if someone wants the refs to call a close one in their favor, I don’t want to hear…

I miss the old Coke Card. Not the credit card, but the discount card, with a new one coming out every year with a list of participating stores. There was a pizza place near me that would give you 1/2 off a slice if you had the card and bought a coke. That place was right next to a Blockbuster, so I spent a lot of…

I know this is your schtick or whatever, but I’m really kind of over it at this point. 

Works for me! I have the kitchen aid attachment and it’s fine. I got that one because it was on sale and I was’t sure if it was a hobby I’d stick with. If I had the money, I’d probably upgrade to one with a built-in compressor, or switch to one where the paddle stays still while the bowl rotates around it. At least…

Nah, I’m good. I’ll just take 10 seconds to order, then wait 5 minutes for the line to move.
