Jay Cutler’s left leg looks very small in that picture.

His victory speech was a bit like that- to me it sounded like the classic ‘you like me, you really like me!’ Hollywood acceptance speech. Like he finally felt loved. For a moment. It’s also the point at which he actually admitted to being daunted, as much as he is able- ‘this politics business is tough.’

Deep inside…

I actually think it’s the opposite- linemen are hitting each other on every play, from three-point stances. They’re set in the most ideal hitting stances and are going for each other explosively. I would agree that RBs do get the big spectacular, catastrophic events which knock them out cold more, but the cumulative…

A friend of mine once drunkenly confessed that he’d done this.

A week later, I was playing ‘I’ve never’ with his girlfriend in a social setting. I remembered this and said ‘oh, I’ve just remembered something really bad about someone but I’m not going to mention it, it’s too bad.’ She went pale, looked at me and said,…

It is weird how that fog seems to lurk around some teams. I feel relatively spoilt watching the Eagles, even though people are like ‘ha ha no Superbowls’ as if being the only team that ever beat Vince Lombardi’s Packers in a championship game doesn’t count, and half our fanbase screams for the entire team, coaching…

Yeah, I’ve felt like more weird shit went down this year. My understanding of the strategy behind trick plays is that they tend to be what coaches pull out when they need something wacky to go their way. That’s usually because they don’t expect their team to be able to win playing things straight, so to speak.

Does it…

I think Trump is a bit different, but I think it’s also fair to say that we’ve got to this point by each side demonising their opposition for a long while. I’m quite a lefty by inclination, but I’ve matured past the point of thinking that the other side are just cruel idiots. I always thought that no one political…

Why is logical disagreement ‘Trump-bashing’ to you?

Disagreement and debate, when conducted properly, makes both sides improve the strength of their opinions, if they are able to do so. If you disagree with what this article says, explain why you disagree and make a better case for your side. That’s democracy: we…

Yeah, I do broadly agree with you. I don’t know how you make the NFL game simple enough for a non-elite QB to play effectively enough. Unless a lot of the modern NFL’s methods and technical support were to go away. This article was interesting though- there were a lot of purported quotes from NFL personnel people…

Yeah, that was a fascinating thing about the Broncos’ season last year. There was an article somewhere a while back (I wish I could find it now but I can’t) which talked about roster building and the cost of Franchise QBs- one of the conclusions drawn was that sooner or later an NFL team was going to figure out how to…

Fair point. That is the most obvious example of an otherwise complete team looking for a QB to plug into the lineup, though. A year ago I would have said Houston were that team, but, well, look how that turned out.

Broncos?

I genuinely thought that guy was going to yell ‘fuck her right in the pussy,’ but that might just be because I am old and no longer with it.

Oh come on yes. One last time for good old gunslinger Tony, bringing joy to my beloved Philadelphians. One last go round for the sake of the memories. One last time.

My Eagles didn’t have a winning season this year, and 2016 sucked, but now, at the end, we get one last chance at the pure joy of seeing Romo throwing…

God damn those Spatial Justice Warriors.

Did I imagine it, or was there some foreshadowing of that too: like as soon as they got into the compound K2 sounded really depressed to me, because he seemed to know that there was no way they were getting out of there alive.

Do not underestimate the Power of Disney. The entirety of 2016 will soon be revealed as ‘mood’ marketing for Rogue One.

Sounds like he was quite the guy. I’m sorry for your loss.

Biggest red flag ever. Also, makes you appreciate how good the rest of that SB-winning Broncos team was.

What was she supposed to do, though? Not mention it when Cho took the conversation there? With respect, I think you’re still treating Cho’s initial account of the conversation as more accurate than the actual conversation.

I also genuinely don’t think that Swinton’s made any kind of mistake-people seem to be laying…
