I was reading Sports Illustrated’s clock management piece this week and it reminded me that the Seahawks burned two timeouts on that final drive with the clock not even running because this fucking offense still takes an average of 3 hours to get plays called in and to line up properly. This also fully justified the…

“When you’re in the same division as Jeff Fisher AND Jed York, you get a four-win head start every season”

Lynch is always willing to go that extra yard.

Really think Felix would’ve gotten it if she’d done a hard lean at the line.

That 10.49 is very much in dispute given the wind-gauge controversy, but even then, she ran 10.61 and no one has touched that record, either.

nice nighttime temperature in Minneapolis.

Watched the BBC’s coverage of the final live through ... other means, and the play-by-play (stroke-by-stroke?) guy Andy Jameson — A former Olympic medal winning swimmer himself — was on the ball right away saying that Manuel was the first black woman to ever win gold in a swimming event once they reached the finish…

That announcer is Hockey Night in Canada’s Elliotte Friedman, subbing for their normal swimming announcer (Steve Armitage), who couldn’t make it due to heart problems. Pretty embarrassing last 24 hours for the CBC.

Not 100% sure, but I believe Colts-Dolphins (2000-01 Wild Card Game) is the last time an NFL playoff game was blacked out on local television due to a lack of ticket sales.

He definitely meant 2009, as that was the year Denver started out 6-0 and hilariously collapsed their way out of playoff contention.

In Cleveland, Sasha Kaun was a pure winner. The facts don’t lie. I don’t see how LeBron can recover from losing Kaun’s heart, grit, and the raw will to win.

70 hot dogs?

Excellent work! And while we’re on the subject, this is Ronda Rousey on Joe Rogan’s podcast talking with Eddie Bravo in 2011.

I need to know how the shit got there.

Whether he is or he isn’t — And for what it’s worth, LeBron probably compares better to Magic than to Michael — there are two things that LeBron’s teams have managed in this era that we’re unlikely to see duplicated either ever, or any time soon:

1.) Defeated a Gregg Popovich-coached San Antonio Spurs team in an NBA…

If you just did the still frames you’d wonder how LeBron managed to block this.

This means Sadaharu Oh is the true home run king, right?
