They also played "I Don't Know Anything" when things went sideways in the third quarter.

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.

Fin.

I would have thought this phrase explained the actual usefulness of plus-minus.

Biden should do a short speech to inform Americans what happens if a state should opt to secede, including loss of federal tax funds, what happens to FDIC-insured bank accounts and mortgages, and so on.

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. Or Tobias Harris is a better player than Nikola Jokic, Trey Murphy III and 143 other players are better than LeBron James, and 340 players in the NBA are better than Stephen C...

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.

This took a moment but it's good.

It doesn't work great due to Christie, but he's big enough, I doubt it's the first stray he's ever caught.

I just got an email from the Palm Beach Post that Lee Majors will attend Trump’s super bowl party. They had a picture of him, and holy crap his face looks like it was put together like a ransom note. Airbrushed photography of your plastically altered face can do that to you I guess. With his "...

Just realized LIV scheduled an event in Las Vegas the weekend of the Super Bowl which seems idiotically on-brand for them. ETA: think most ppl know but the Super Bowl is in Vegas this year so hotels etc are at a premium. Until the addition of the 17th regular season NFL game, when the Super Bowl wa...

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 .

That's fantastic.

My apologies for fooling anyone by digging up this old thread in an effort to highlight how poorly I judged the Campbell hiring, which is possibly my worst prediction in this iteration of the Swamp. ("Steph Curry's peak is being a combo guard off the bench" is going to be very tough to bea...

I was, however, wrong about this one. 24 wins (prediction was made one year prior to the 17th game, so predicted win percentage was .328, actual win percentage .358).

Six-year contract for shit like this: “We’re going to kick you in the teeth, all right?” Campbell told reporters. “And when you punch us back, we’re going to smile at you. And when you knock us down, we’re going to get back up and on the way up, we’re going to bite a kneecap off, all right? And the...

Aaron Schatz has James Cook and Stefan Diggs as the worst RB and WR/TE, respectively, by DYAR in the divisional round.

Allen was second among QBs, behind the guy you think he was behind.

I always wondered how many guys used to transfer back in the sit-a-year days just to rack up a post-grad degree. Lots of guys are doing it now.

Every time I hear the chant of "foot" in their studio, all I can do is think of the Mike Schur punch line, "Somewhere (beep)... Mina Kimes (beep)... is relieved. (beep)" and the roaring laughter resulting from it. LeBatard also says, "UFC... this sport is in the gutter"...

I think the weird is "you should hang out with this person who is 25(?) years older than you". The generational difference seems like the biggest issue to me.

He'll also help on defense. Not sure how much one player can do, but his versatility gives a lot of options.
