That stat they kept talking about in the game last night with the Cubs was the most perfectly telling stat of all. The Cubs have scored 0 or 1 run in 39 games (40 if you count last night) this season. Almost 25% of their games and the only team with more were the Orioles, who are refried butt on butt toast. The Cubs

If the kid ever gets a decent set of offensive tackles blocking for him, he might actually be able to win a Super Bowl based on what I’ve seen so far.

To be fair to Keenum, he did have plenty of trouble last night because their tackles couldn’t block the end rushers for shit. In fact, both teams had shitty tackle play but whereas Mahomes is able to make plays on the run, Keenum is a goddamn statue and is going to get killed this year. If KC’s defense could tackle

I had no problem with the coach going for 4th down there. Take some risks, be a winner. What I DO have a problem with is that ridiculous ploy of trying to draw the other team offsides and letting the play clock go down so far that you have to burn a timeout. THAT WAS DUMB. Had that 4th down succeeded, Indy might well

Donald is a beast, but the Minnesota line appears to be complete shit. They didn’t give up any sacks when Cousins was trying to dink and dunk the ball down the field, but couldn’t run block for shit. The minute Cousins had to try to throw for more than 5-7 yards, they got ROFL-stomped.

Zidane is the only one I can think of that isn’t currently in a job post already. Otherwise, you have to start looking around at the younger guys like Eddie Howe at Bournemouth or finally give Giggs or Arteta a chance. And if they go with a younger, less known guy, everyone is going to make comparisons to Moyes. Either

Jesus, what do the refs expect him to do in that situation? 

Or when is the proper time to do either of those things or neither.

Sanchez was NEVER going to be all that good at United, at least not under Mourinho. Based on the players that they had when they signed him and Mourinho, he was never going to be allowed the free reign that his style of play requires for him to do well. Wenger understood that and Arsenal didn’t have another

That “hot take” alone should have disqualified that “scout” from ever working for any NFL organization ever.

What the fuck is on the O’s jerseys? Did they do their unis in all braille to honor the utter blindness that must have afflicted the Blue Jays’ defense to make such a ridiculous set of defensive errors all in one play?

I don’t think the Eli benching last year was necessary considering your alternative was Geno Fucking Smith. You weren’t winning any more games with Geno Smith than you would have with Manning. Making the playoffs was the worst thing that could have happened to the team under MacAdoo because anyone could see that team

Goddamn, this needs more stars.

That penalty and its subsequent ass-covering explanation are both grade-A bullshit.

If at any point in time you think “Putting Blaine Gabbert into a game as our quarterback” whether it’s as a starter or in relief gives your football team a better chance to win the game, you should be placed in the concussion protocol or the substance abuse program.

Yes, I realize Dez was cut and unfortunately I meant “which will make DAK worse” but my take is still steaming hot.

Prescott is a much better NFL QB than I ever thought he could be. But even Aaron Rodgers struggles when he’s throwing to trash wideouts - and even when Dez was on the field last year, their wideout core was truly trash. Now he won’t even have the safety blanket of Jason Witten to throw to, and his O line has injuries.

Considering that 2 of the last 3 seasons, he’s had a pretty severe injury late in the season, I’d say it’s a damn good strategy. The number of helmet shots to the knees this guy takes playing 2 games a year against Burfict is enough to make him sit out some games.

What... in the ever... living... fuck?

Gruden is fast approaching Ted Cruz levels of complete unlikability and douche-face. I mean, he’s got a long way to go there, but the inhuman tinge of his skin doesn’t help. I look forward to his Raiders reaching Art Shell-era levels of irrelevance.
