At that time, had technology reached the point where they could attach a golf shirt collar to a v-neck sweatshirt or was he still in the stone age of wearing a golf shirt under the sweatshirt?

Oh, I'm all in on the Romo hate. He was helped by following Phil Simms. Aikman has the same problem that Simms had in that they haven't played in 30 years so their understanding of the game isn't what Romo's was when he first started (Simms is also a buffoon where I think Aikman is more of a cranky...

Gould was 85% from all distances over the last three seasons (66/78). Jake Moody was 80% as his replacement (24/30). Jake Moody would probably have the same percentage if he got as many 25 yard attempts as Gould did. I doubt they are even attempting a 50+ yard kick in the rain with 2023 Robbie Goul...

When you rule it a turnover, you get to review without costing either side a time out.

And this review won't take long.

Feels like the game has reached the point where KC is pretty content to just get first downs, as it means more time run off the clock in a two-possession game.

Is Thibs a great defensive coach or does he simply force teams to trade anyone who defensively sucks or doesn't fit his system? (Real question, I'm only thinking about Toppin and Quickley in NY.) Based on Minnesota, it's not the "forcing teams to trade bad defensive players" thing. At the...

So getting back to OGA ... his relative +/- are pretty sexy, no? There's value in showing that he's consistently above or near the team lead (on a new team/system). The Knicks have played well since Anunoby (+239) has been there. He has played a lot with Brunson (+193 in 11 of the 13 games since th...

It measures how good a player is based upon who the other four players who are on the floor with him.

The more you play with good players, the better your plus-minus will be.

The more you play with bad players, the worse your plus-minus will be.

All five starters from the team with the best record in the league are in the top 16. It is a highly context-dependent stat.

But seriously I think Gyllenhall is the right type for this. And the director has made some entertaining films. McGregor seems to be an awful dude but I'd otherwise watch this? Having watched the trailer, I respectfully disagree on Gyllenhaal. Liman has done some very good stuff, but that trailer l...

I hope this attempt at a re-make falls apart like the Ronda Rousey one did about five years ago. Jake Gyllenhall? GTFO. In case you needed another reason not to watch what will likely be a horrible remake, Conor McGregor is involved. This remake sounds bad. And, I have a difficult time seeing Jake ...

Low. But, I can see a return to a more "classic" Raiders of the 1970's under him.

From a mindset perspective, not a win-loss record perspective.

Because he is CHAPPELLE I think too many of the legions of upcoming and new and struggling comics see him and just drift toward that. Sucks.

They also see the money of the Rogan Industrial Complex.

If KC makes the Super Bowl, the Usher halftime show will be the most-watched show in (whatever time period). The difference between the halftime show and the game's average is usually about three million people.

And she will completely upstage the halftime show, just by her presence.

Detroit is America’s team. Lions/Bucs was the most watched divisional round game since 1994 a week after Lions/Rams was most-watched prime time TV event since last year’s Super Bowl. And then, the game after it averaged ten million more viewers to become the most watched divisional round game ever .
