In very limited scenarios it makes sense. If you’re inside the five yard line and on one of the hashes, you’re basically having to kick sideways. In that case, backing it up a bit to make the angle less severe makes sense. It did not make sense in this situation. 

It’s almost enough to make you long for Roberto Aguayo, who would just go ahead and miss without the need for all these mental gymnastics.

When pressed for solutions on how he’s going to fix his kicker problems, Arians responded brusquely, “We’re not going to yell and scream at him. We are going to support Matt and gently focus on converting extra points and field goals with him this week in practice. It’s Gay Conversion Therapy all next week.” *mic cuts…

Welcome to America in 2019, where Arians claim to be helping a Gay but really just want to set them further back.

Why is everyone talking about mass snarkings, and no one is talking about this snark on snark violence?

The 13 fans in attendance were stoked.

“He didn’t dive for a fumble in the Super Bowl!”

You left off 4,800 rushing yards, 58 rushing TDs, and more clutch First Downs than you can count, but hey, every QB in the league can do that, right?

I heard some talking head on the radio the other day (discussion Antonio Brown) say it best:  just say you don’t like the guy.  Don’t say he sucks.  Don’t say he’s overrated or selfish.  Just say you don’t like him.

You think there’s QBs with his physical talents coming into the league left and right every year? Talent does not correlate to results, never has, never will. He came into the NFL as big as a DE and running faster than most RBs. And an absolute cannon for an arm. Here’s the first line from his NFL Combine scouting…

Steve Smith has been the best wide receiver he’s ever played with, and it’s not even close. Greg Olsen has been his leading receiver since then. That organization had a generational talent at QB and failed abysmally to put even an adequate supporting cast around him.  

And don’t forget the NFL has a standing policy that, unlike Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, a defender using his helmet to smash Cam Newton’s helmet (and Russell Wilson’s) is not a personal foul and, in fact, is encouraged.

It’s insane to me that in the year of our Lord 2019 we’re still having “Cam Newton is selfish” conversations. The guy has had no offensive line, no noteworthy receivers, and a platoon of overrated running backs basically ever since he came in the league, and has muscled them to numerous playoff berths and a Super Bowl.

Cam Newton is playing injured and probably has been playing injured for the last 3 or so years. He continued to play, because the Panther’s only other option at that point was...*check notes*...A literal robot who was programmed to throw turnovers and make racial slurs. He didn’t play because he was selfish, he played…

It was possibly the single worst decision I’ve ever seen a director make in a movie.

The rat represent obviousness- Ralph Wiggum 

+one billion for that. It literally ruined the entire movie for me. .

Still more subtle than the end of The Departed.

Agassi fired a ball directly at a lineswoman at Wimbledon after his loss to Rafter. She had reported him earlier for an obscenity. Luckily she was watching him and was able to jump out of the way.

I was not expecting chill U.S. Open ball person to be my Monday motivation to be upbeat and not to let little annoyances at my job get me down, but here we are.
