San Diego would have used that 18 seconds to drive down the field for a game winning TD.

Holy Christ, Cam, let it go.

QBs have an inordinate amount of protection in the pocket. They’re considered defenseless players at that point. Outside the tackle box, they are treated as runners. Similar to how a receiver is treated differently when he is in the process of making a catch, versus when he is running with the football after…

I seriously doubt the veracity of Newton’s version of the events. First and foremost, the “you’re not old enough” bit doesn’t even make sense, even if it were said in jest. Newton’s in what, his 4th or 5th year in the league? And I’ve heard of a lot of unwritten rules, but I’ve never heard of a player being “too…

Does that include what we witnessed in this game?

Yes, it is. You’re intentionally creating a situation that is impossible (not difficult, but impossible) to defend or even properly officiate.

You can’t control injuries or the weather. You can enforce behaviors.

Simply put, yes they are that arrogant. It’s not even like they’re trying to get a competitive advantage. It’s just that unless they are screwing the opponent with some underhanded tactic like this they are out of their comfort zone. Belicheck is petty and spiteful, and this sort of behavior is perfectly consistent…

This is how the Patriots operate. They make breaking rules in a manner such that they won’t or can’t be caught by the officials an integral part of their game plan. What they were doing there was in violation of 12.3.1(j). That wasn’t a shift to confuse the team pre-snap. It was an attempt to simulate the defense…

You say “strip club ribeyes” like it’s a bad thing.

That’s a pretty accurate depiction of how it went down, too. Basically the party convinced him that it was a good idea. DM even made roll a Wisdom check before agreeing. I failed (obvious lee).

I’ve often been the worst (or best, depending on your point of view) gaming experience for others in my group. In D&D or Pathfinder, I enjoy playing characters that will annoy the shit out of the rest of the party. Paladin is a sure-fire way to achieve that end, but that’s almost too easy.

At supposedly academic-only institutions one can graduate with degrees in “Intergenerational Studies and Community Service,” “American Studies,” “Art History,” and so on. It’s sort of disingenuous to bag on an “Athlete” major.

Only thing missing from this piece is a Food Babe reference.

Injuries happen. You can’t wrap players in bubble wrap, then unleash them on each other in the first week of the season. Starters already play very limited minutes in preseason games, the purpose of which is to get into some contact situations to prepare for the season. If it were as skewed to the risk side on the…

Nothing dirty about that hit. He’s not targeting the knee with his helmet, and not using his momentum to push the leg in an awkward direction. Suggs wraps up Bradford’s legs and brings him down. That’s called a “tackle.”

Scorpion may be really stupid with it’s use of tech but it’s got a really nice group of likable characters that i’ll keep watching

I’ve actually liked this season of Doctor Who much more than the last couple of Matt Smith years. Capaldi is a good choice to play the Doctor, and the stories have been a bit darker in tone and crazier in subject matter. I was really tired of the Matt Smith formula — the Doctor and his merry troupe get into a mess of…

Kirk Ferentz immediately extended the kid an offer.
