Last night, before dozens of fans wearing Rams gear...

They're going to need a hell of a lot of Ajax to clean up this mess.

poor girl. You can only go so far in life when your parents name you Racine.

A word of caution, passers-by: You're not just taking a selfie with Gronk. You're taking a selfie with everyone he's ever taken a selfie with in the past.

Bird shot an absurd 81.8 percent from the field

Wilson: I don't know what happened. I thought I put the ball there. I don't know though. He cut inside. I don't know if 21 was on top or underneath. I think he just went around him.

This is a great article, thank you for writing it. Two additional points that bother me about the articles you present:

Kyle, I'm not sure they would've been able to run three times in 26 seconds with one timeout, but they definitely could have with 50 seconds and one timeout!

It's amazing the gyrations that some people will go through rather than admit a mistake. Here's a perfect example from the entertainment industry:

It's a game. Not really all that complex. It doesn't take a level of genius to figure out that the ball should have gone to Lynch.

Absolutely a bad call. Not from the "YOU MUST RUN !!!1!" criticism. But 3 WRs on the goal-line with a mobile quarterback? You absolutely can call a pass in that situation, but it'd better be a play-action to try to sell the defense on a run and not a "We're going to pass formation, and given the limited space this

I don't think Carroll ever insinuated that running would be a "bad idea" and I don't think that most people coming out in defense are trying to imply that passing was a "good idea". For me, I just thought it was silly for people to jump on the ITS THE WORST CALL OF ALL TIME AND HE HAS TO BE A MORON!! train. I still

More galling than the pass call itself was the fact that the formation made it so obvious. You're never going to call a read option on the goal line - and nearly never going to run from the shotgun - because the defense has you outnumbered in the box and you need momentum to power through the line. Starting under

This is spot on. But one thing it misses is the abysmal clock management by Seattle the WHOLE drive.

One major gripe I had about Carroll's half-assed attempts to explain this away is that he claims he couldn't run 3 plays in 0:26. That might be true, but if you said that you couldn't run 4 plays in the Super Bowl on

I am all for advanced stats and I think we are at a point in history where you can tell that the better teams are utilizing them while the worse teams often are not and many idiot sportswriters who can't be bothered to look them up because they think math is unmanly are being shown to be the dinosaurs they are.

To be fair, everyone in the world rushes to judgment, except for Pete Carroll, who passes to judgment, and is usually intercepted.

That play call was the equivalent of Mr. Burns telling Strawberry to bunt.

Not to mention, he'll be getting a 4 game suspension.

When it gets below 10%, they get hired by ESPN.
