I still can’t figure out what exactly sending the field goal team out there first accomplished. Made the Eagles burn a timeout? Even then, the Titans burned one too. Someone explain to me why we’re lauding Mike Vrabel for this.

God help me, but I think I understand the rule. Mind you, it might be a BAD rule, but I think I get it. Clay Mathews and Co. are acting like they can’t turn their bodies in mid-air. Stop acting like that’s some magic; it’s a thing that people can do without a problem, and the videos show it.

This is a weird thing to be writing about

How does that make it all the way to the headline without someone pointing out to drew that the batter is standing right next to the catcher?

The play was a risk for Brewer, leaving him wholly unshielded if anyone on the coverage team sniffed out the ruse and decided to plow into him at full speed.

It wouldn’t kill you to include some blogs about millennial fall fashion trends though

Even my love of bat flips and showboating is not without its limits

Assuming that when he returns he plays at his usual level, I wonder how much this impacts his value when he hits free agency next year. On the one hand, the NFL is a win at all costs league. On the other hand, it’s also exactly the type of league where owners/GMs would devalue a guy for lack of respect, tarnishing the…

I like Serena Williams a lot. Why can’t we just say that she didn’t react very well, was probably going to lose anyway, and we still like her?

I still think it’s tough to come down on Foster and Pouncey too hard. There’s a big disconnect between the general dynamics of labor-management relations and actual football. They want to win games, and they know that’s going to be a lot harder without their best player. They’re more interested in winning games than…

Why do you keep referring to this as a sack? Foles didn’t have the ball anymore. And why would you refer to it as a sack rule? It’s a roughing the passer rule, you know, applicable where the quarterback has already passed the ball. Even the point of emphasis published by the NFL refers to defenders that “land on the…

I’d like to see a chart for, how would you say this, away-field disadvantage? For example, the Nuggets are getting 2.5 wins per year at home, but are they losing any when they go on the road and the game speeds up a little at normal altitude?

I’m fully on Team Bell but it seems kind of shitty to say these guys are carrying management’s water. They want to win games and they know it will be harder without Bell there. They stuck up for him, then lashed out when (in their minds) he made them look dumb by not showing up Wednesday. So they’re mad at him. That’s…

It seems disingenuous to compare Beadle never watching ANY football ever to an ATH panelist or radio guy not watching EVERY game. I mean, I don’t think I disagree with you overall, but that’s just a really bad argument.

The community of people that think stretching is unnecessary is, like Bob Wylie, pretty good-sized. It’s not a majority or anything (as far as I can tell), but you’ll even find plenty of doctors who ascribe to the theory that stretching is either a) useless or even b) doing more harm than good.

A lot of the headlines and articles I’ve read about this (including this one) seem to be trying to induce the inference that the news caused her to lose so badly. The last paragraph of this one might even have you think its the reason for her continued “poor play.” But that’s totally unfair, and portrays Serena as an…

For sure, if Uber drivers were unionized and licensed specifically to insure a certain degree of safety to both the passenger and driver alike, that definitely would have prevented this guy who is not actually an Uber driver from punching someone. Nailed it.

To that point, how low can one really get if they’re squatting with the dumbbells at their sides? Maybe I have long arms

When I first read headlines about this, I assumed it was the basketball team, selling their basketball shoes. In which case, yeah, you’re gonna need those for basketball. But giving these to the football team just seems like a gift, a cool-ass gift. Why should anyone give a shit what happens to them next?

Then, after the series was over, Green refused to give Thompson a customary, cordial dab on the court.
