I assume it means two basketball players getting past defenders to the rim at the same time.

Another example of people rushing to judgment before they see the context. There is a longer video, people! Watch the full hour. It shows Eric Gordon taking a bathroom break during the previous time out and not washing his hands. I expect a full retraction of this blog post and sincere apology to Tucker and his family.…

Don’t doubt what you saw with your own eyes.

I just came here to say Petchesky nailed this one. No rule change, please.

Nothing you said about the game invalidates my argument about why the one possession overtime rule makes perfect sense: Defense wins championships.

The game was not decided by a coin flip. It was decided by the fact that one of those teams had a weaker defense and thus was vulnerable to losing a coin flip in overtime. The rules were well known ahead of time.

This ignores the role of defense. Of the four remaining teams, the Chiefs were the least complete, specifically their defense was not championship level. The overtime rules punish unbalanced teams and I’m ok with that.

Thank you for not piling on. Actual Pats fan here. With Belichick on one of hte sidelines you know you’r getting a chess game. With Andy Reid, it’s tic tac toe.

It’s almost like you don’t realize that Trump is a potent symbol of racism and bigotry and that people subjected to it are butthurt. People in positions of power (white, male, Christian, cis, hetero) just want everyone else to get over their political correctness and let the white supremacist patriarchy keep on…

What goes around comes around.

How bad is it? Rate on a scale of 0 (Robin Williams) to 10 (Casey Affleck).

Do they do the accents? How are the accents? I can smell a bullshit Boston accent from a mile away (looking at you, Robin Williams). South Shore accent is special. I hope they don’t fuck it up.

In my version of that dream Tony Eason gets hurt and Steve Grogan takes the Patriots to an upset victory in the second ever wild card team to win the Superbowl, humiliating Ditka, McMahon, the superbowl shufflers.

Yeah, I hate how we have to elect the President of Iowa as our party’s nominee every fucking cycle. Fuck Iowa and New Hampshire. How about Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado. States with lots of electoral votes, lots of Democrats, people of color, importance in the general election.…

Idiots failing upwards like this in the AFC East is one reason the Patriots get to enjoy their annual free pass to the playoffs. I wonder if it’s too late for the Dolphins to back out of the Flores deal and sign Rex Ryan to their HC position.

As a Pats fan I was relieved. For the same reason. Sometimes it doesn’t matter though. You can beat the Colts by 40 points and move the ball on the ground as well as in the air and they’ll blame ball pressure for the outcome.

Pressure and “unexpected unblocked rushers” lead to sacks? What insight! I hope no defensive coordinators read your comment!

I know, right? Now the AFC side of the Superbowl will guarantee a big audience. Either to watch a baby faced kid throw 98 mile an hour sliders with a football or to hate-watch the Patriots again.

Sounds like the outrage in 1930s Germany over Jewish crime.
