*whispers* actually the national anthem has no relation to sports whatsoever and there’s no reason to play it before every game

I don't get the outrage over Dan Campbell's 4th down decision on Sunday. Their defense is Bad Bad Bad so he wanted the game decided by the offense. Seems reasonable to me?
Replying to @benbbaldwin
The Vikings' defense is fake due to opponents. The Seahawks still have the best defense. I am an unbiased Seahawks fan. (the Bills/Lions/Cowboys are perfect)

We joked about Penei Sewell drawing coverage away from Jameson Williams, but credit Jared Goff. Pretty sure that's a no-look pass or a very-last-second-look pass.

oh sure, but when i wave a gun around outside a cheesecake factory for my religion, suddenly it’s “reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon”
Clinging to my guns and religion at the Greensboro Cheesecake Factory tonight.

Dumb. With a B
🚨 LEAKED: In a fundraising appeal, Mike Rogers told potential donors, "When you stand with my Senate campaign today, you are directly shielding Elon Musk" from potential investigations into the harm caused by DOGE cuts. Rogers asked for donations so he could "protect Elon."

The Packers got a stop on the Lions 22 with 4:50 remaining in the game and proceeded to produce a putrid three play sequence including a dropped TD and then had a 35 yard FG attempt blocked. That sequence is where a good team would have overcome the officiating.

Is that the kind of leadership you @jayfeely exhibited with the NFLPA when you were caught leaking information to the media during the 2011 CBA talks (a move that helped you get a sideline reporter job)?
This gives you a good window into how my teammates viewed me, the leadership qualities I exhibited, and the relationships I had with my teammates which should give you a window into who I will be in Congress bit.ly/FeelyFolktales

Harrison Butker's 15 missed kicks (10 FGs, 5 PATs) since start of last season are the most in NFL.

Our society is never going to top this
Around 1500, Hieronymus Bosch painted sheet music on a sinner's bare butt in hell. 500 years later, someone transcribed and performed it. Now you can hear the original butt song from hell.

Jared Goff now leads all quarterbacks in success rate. No pass play through seven weeks has been more likely to produce a positive result than a Goff dropback.

Has to be the largest size disparity on the Mesh crossers in recorded history between Penei Sewell (335 pounds) and Jameson Williams (184 pounds)

one frustration people in analytics had w 4th down decisions is that "contextual factors" always altered a model's recommendation toward punting, never going for it. never saw a coach use his gut to be more aggressive. then dan campbell blew that shit out of the water

Probably one of the best 4th down decisions you will see all season, because a punt would've given the Packers the control over the clock.
