Hmmm I might have this all wrong, but my understanding is that the gloves are super tacky/sticky. My thinking is that without the gloves, he is grasping at such a tiny surface area that his fingers just slide.

I feel like the gloves are being a bit undersold. This catch is completely impossible without gloves, as are many of today's highlight-reel catches.

The best part of this play is the interaction between LSU #52 on the blitz and the running back who blocks him.

Colin Cowherd has a different theory:

That "wow" is going to drive me to homicidal madness one of these days

Having been removed from the South for a few years, I am amazed at the level of homerism in the CBS broadcast that I used to take for granted. I'm really glad the Iron Bowl got taken out of these idiots' hands.

Where the hell did he get the surgery done? "Very loose with no bone to connect it," "starting to smell bad," and just look at that fucking picture. Not a procedure you want to skimp on, Jose.

Is there any rule, in any sport, more stupid than the free pass to halfcourt after a timeout?

Ever since you introduced me to this guy during the World Cup, I have wondered: why is "heavy metal" the description you go with? From what I can make out, the song strikes me as bouncy and peppy more than anything.
