Altuve is the one that makes the Astros special. He’s the driving force. Not Springer. Not Bergman. Not Correa. Jose is. Houston was destroyed last year when he wasn’t healthy. He’s healthy now and changes everything for them.
I’ve seen the Butt Fumble at least 250 times and I STILL laugh out loud every time I see it.
And the Pats scored a TD on an 80+ yard pass play after a Jets fumble just before the buttfumble. So 3 TD’s in less than a minute for New England.
“Okay, hear me out. You know how the punter is usually the best athlete on the field?”
What people forget with the Colts’ play is that even if it somehow worked, THE ENTIRE LINE WASN’T ON THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE! So not only did the QB? Ballcarrier? Sacrificial lamb? get tackled by three players as soon as he got the ball, the play wouldn’t have counted anyway.
They don’t even have a gunner spread out to the side the punter ran to. There are at least two defenders on that side whose ONLY JOB is to ensure that the ball is kicked away and no bull shit happens. No pullers to gain numbers advantage, no misdirection...just the punter and his open field savvy. You make this call…
That Colts play is a masterpiece. It invokes such feelings of despair and helplessness. It’s like watching a hopelessly overmatched kid half-heartedly try something against an opponent, knowing in advance that they’re doomed, and it is so ill-conceived and embarrassing that you can’t even praise them for the effort. Th…
Again, completely in agreement, especially the “[x] is the right path to success.” mantra, which oversimplifies the core issue: professional sports are really, really hard, and the translation from “amateur” to pros is almost negligible, especially considering the situations you might be walking into.
Or look at the Raptors; Siakam, Van Vleet, and Powell all made meaningful contributions in this years NBA finals and were all in the G-league as recently as two years ago. The Spurs have been showing the league how important player development is for years and finally other teams are starting to pay attention and not…
Glasnow picked the worst possible time to adopt glasnost.
and it’s against the rapidly deflating Browns.
Complicated is short-hand for money on one side and morals on the other.
Somebody gets it.
I loved his early work with Chris Bosh and Sam Cassell.
I’m just saying, I don’t remember California bordering Mexico before OBAMA became president!

There’s a reason why players aren’t speaking out: they know their “brands” in China make them money. DWade has a shoe deal in China. Nike would get pissed at LeBron if he said anything; unlike what was clearly a marketing decision to support Kaepernick (Nike backs him too!).
Maybe, but players (and coaches? I’m not sure) in the NBA have more power than in the NFL and that wouldn’t vanish if owners suddenly decided to cater to the MAGA crowd. Labor in the NBA is simply worth more. The owners might try and tell LeBron to shut up but they couldn’t threaten to blacklist him, and I guarantee…
