Re: Television (no longer temporary)

Two episodes of "Shrinking" was enough for me. Really started nicely, but the second episode had so many incidents of what Roger Ebert called "The Idiot Plot" (events that could only happen if every character involved is an idiot) that I just couldn't go on. The psychologist tel...

Re: NFL Conference Championships week

Guys, I highly doubt the Ravens gameplan was to not run the ball. Finite amount of plays in a football game and that number tends to get smaller when you don't have the ball. SIX carries by running backs. Did they only have 15 total offensive plays? Probably not, but beyond just getting first downs...

Re: NFL Conference Championships week

Ravens only ran the ball 16 times if I saw the right stat. And a number of those were Lamar scrambles. That’s…an odd gameplan for by far the best rushing team in the league this year.

I don't understand going for two down eight points. On the road, analytics is a strong move to do that. Theory is if you get it, then a TD wins it rather than OT - and OT for the road team is still less than 50/50 proposition. If you don't get it, you still have a chance at 2 to force it to OT. Tit...
