unrelated: I was very surprised there was a Whataburger on the strip in Vegas. didn't eat there -- we got In-N-Out as soon as we landed and, well, there are like 20 Whataburgers here now -- but made sure to go in to just laugh at the idea of a Whataburger paired with a bar on the strip

I think the fear with Randle if he comes back is reinjuring that shoulder. I hope he doesn't need surgery, but feel that it could be the ultimate outcome if he comes back and reinjures it.

the kirkland joggers on the costco website are allegedly vuori copycats. hope to verify that on monday.

the simple answer is a home playoff game I think 99.9 percent of coaches and 80 percent of ADs would rather have a 4 seed than a 5 seed in the new format. (Though I’ll grant the 5 seed will end up winning 95+ percent of the time since it’ll usually be facing a Group Of Five school.) right but it's ...

ETA: it's also the four highest-ranked conference champions. that's splitting hairs a bit, but it's not exclusive to the four power conferences

Second Burial and Sunny Point. I think we went to Sunny Point twice in two days last time we were there.

you only get the top 250 here. https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/g_career_p.html Marion is tied for 128th all time in playoff games. Is there a better player (in top 250 but anyone with better stats...) with less playoff games? id chalk up all I see to shortened playoffs you said this If...

the same Shawn Marion who played in 109 playoff games and was an integral part of the 2011 Mavericks title team?

2024 is a really weak draft class without a standout prospect; though there's a decent chance that the Spurs could pair him with another prospect from France

Is Romo drunk? Well, when he was urging KC to spike the ball to save time ("15 seconds") prior to the field goal at the end of the fourth quarter, about a second after he shut up, you could see Pacheco come into frame, running back across the field and line of scrimmage, then get set for ...

Like I said it didn’t impact the outcome but I think there’s an argument to be made that it’s indicative of a lack of planning and foresight on Shanahan’s part and that would concern me if I were a Niners fan. This guy has now blown 3 huge leads in Super Bowls - 2 as a head coach and of course the ...

I would take the ball first. If you feel both defenses are gassed and touchdowns are easy, you want the ball 3rd. there were three TDs in regulation You look at the two games that caused the rule change. In the Super Bowl when the Patriots scored with a TD, would Atlanta have equalized? And if so, ...

No, it was terrible, just not as bad as TAKING THE BALL FIRST IN OVERTIME WHEN BOTH TEAMS ARE GUARANTEED A POSSESSION BECAUSE YOU ARE PLAYING AGAINST THE SAME QUARTERBACK WHO MADE THE LEAGUE CHANGE THE RULE, THEREBY GUARANTEEING BOTH TEAMS A POSSESSION. I wanted to ask about this ... I was thinking...

This is surreal. I went my entire life through the 2018 season thinking they'd never win the Super Bowl and then ... this. So prior to 2018, you were unaware of Superbowl I or IV? Any fan supporting Detroit, Tennessee, San Diego, etc,.. would be pretty happy with pre 2018 KC playing history. This c...

knowing full well that Kyle Shanahan is going to get another offseason full of crap -- did anyone else find his clock management at the end of the first half to be extremely weird and conservative? Chiefs got the ball to start the second half and they got a gift timeout from the Chiefs with 1:09 to ...

On the 4th and 1 scramble by Mahomes, was it Bosa who lost containment? Romo was talking about that so much throughout the game. I also feel like if they force fed McCaffrey more it would have helped a lot, although Purdy had an awesome game On the read option to the right? I don't think it really ...

I think a woman Republican president is a lot closer than some think. It'll be a Maggie Thatcher situation. A female Republican - unless she's a complete nutjob like Greene - will naturally appear "moderate", and voters like that. Plus, she'll get a lot of votes from conservatives for the...

yeah, we're getting into the vagaries of in and out of market stuff here in-market OTA NFL games are available via the Fox app with your cable credentials. for CBS games, you can access them via Paramount Plus (which you can get for free/bundled with a lot of stuff). as AB said, you can also put a g...

I pay $70/mo for YouTube TV. Is your cable tv cheaper than that? And does it include unlimited DVR? And you can watch on your phone, computer, and TV (at the same time if you want)? And you can watch it just as easily when you're traveling? my directv isn't but I know my setup/needs aren't comparab...

I had no idea Todd Blackledge was an announcer until the Browns/Texans game. He was pointless.

you never heard him on a college game over the last 20 years?

Retractable roof. No idea if it was open or closed though for that game.

Felt like Campbell went too meathead with the call to not kick. Isn't the meathead call to kick it though? Kicking it would've been an old school move. Meathead would be not learning from previous mistakes. depends on which "not kick" call we're referring to (I'm referring to both) and th...

the worst decision was running on third down before the TD and calling timeout though

yeah, I don't understand not wanting to re-establish the 3-possession lead you had at half eight minutes into the third

the 49ers defense had been sneakily not good recently but there's nothing sneaky about this so far

and thanks y'all -- this is a run to not be taken for granted. it's fun, especially with the acceptance of how unique it is and that losing a playoff game is hardly the end of the world when your team is doing stuff like this after I went the first 30+ years of my life wondering if they'd ever go to...

I laughed about that part. I would have loved if he showed his second Super Bowl ring.
