    - Coupons to Domino's -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 9, 16:44 1
      - And a Bag of Baseballs -- nm - budice Jan 9, 16:51
Apparently the Texans are trying to be the worst team in the AFC. Their coach is under pressure to keep his job - Will Hunting Jan 9, 16:15 4
- Reminder: they have that Littlefinger wannabe in charge of the franchise. - The Allfather Jan 9, 16:22 3
  - Jack Easterby is his name if you want to read about him. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 9, 16:24 2
    - Oh yeah…he’s another toad. Meanwhile, the Steelers GM is likely to retire after the draft. He’s so good, no one knows his name. - Will Hunting Jan 9, 16:31 1
      - they dragged Big Ben's bloated corpse to the playoffs. He and Tomlin deserve all the awards -- nm - Beaker Jan 9, 16:48
And Christmas is officially put away until next year. - znufrii Jan 9, 15:55
are the Niners in? or do they need help? cause their running game is scary -- nm - Beaker Jan 9, 15:50 3

- GO FOR 2!! -- nm - Beaker Jan 9, 16:07
- If they lose, and New Orleans wins, NO gets in and SF goes home. Deebo is a freak...he single-handedly got them back in the game -- nm* - Flavorize Jan 9, 15:59
Astronaut Mark Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit on board the International Space Station. He didn't tell anyone about it. -- (link) - budice Jan 9, 15:43 1
- You packed WHAT? -- nm - Payload Specialists Jan 9, 16:30
Ramsay with the great INT, then the glory-hound he is shows and he runs it out to the 7 rather than taking the knee to the 25 -- nm - Beaker Jan 9, 15:42
Dano did you watch? This drama is going to be WILD about the team. -- nm* - MDH Jan 9, 15:34 2
- No... and I'm not really invested, but I disagree with the decision. - Dano Jan 9, 16:24 1
  - Agree completely with your analysis. And 100% agree that they made a big mistake. Huge. - MDH Jan 9, 16:31
AOC is COVID+ -- nm - Strongbad Jan 9, 15:26 2

  - There’s plenty of 2nd cases going around. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 16:35
Apparently crunchyroll has crashed, which is making it hard for people to stream Attack on Titan -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 15:15
Hee -- (link) - Reagen Jan 9, 15:09
The Ravens could legitimately have had a record of anywhere from 3-14 to 14-3 this season. -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 14:53 4
- I honestly thought they could win 12, easily—just too many injuries to overcome -- nm - Flavorize Jan 9, 15:01
- It’s the Flacco playoff run …. You could easily argue he ranged from multiple Super Bowl champion to Andy Dalton if any one of 4 plays change - Will Hunting Jan 9, 14:59
- Lamar Jackson injury apparently far worse than led on. -- nm - budice Jan 9, 14:55 1
  - Then him practicing was stupid. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 9, 15:00
Sheesh, should have checked the temp. before I went out walking in a black sweatshirt :/ -- nm - Meg Jan 9, 14:42 2
- Sunny and 74 deg. (feels like = 77) -- nm - Meg Jan 9, 14:43 1
  - We would have hypothermia if that's all we wore..brrrrr -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 9, 16:46
So, is Trevor Lawrence good now? - zunk xometimes Jan 9, 14:12 8
- He’s no Davis Mills, but he was ok. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 9, 14:16 7
  - I did not immediately compare him to Billy Volek in terms of awesomeness -- nm - Dano Jan 9, 14:37
  - There are some that would agree. -- nm - zunk xometimes Jan 9, 14:23 5
    - Based on actual performance, it’s almost unarguable. Mills QB Rating is 85…the other 4 are 72 or lower. - Will Hunting Jan 9, 14:37 4
      - It hasn't updated yet, but PFF's grade for Mills coming into today was 55. That's sub-replacement level. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 9, 16:46
      - Stats don't lie!!!!!!! -- nm - zunk xometimes Jan 9, 14:41 2
        
        If anyone tells you right now they feel confident in Trevor, Wilson or Fields…they’re lying. - Will Hunting Jan 9, 14:54 1
        
        Agree. And for me it goes the other way too. If someone declares a QB a bust in the rookie year - zunk xometimes Jan 9, 15:04
Giants stats: LT Andrew Thomas had more receiving TD's than Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney combined - Strongbad Jan 9, 14:00 1
- The ST All-Stars could outplay the Giants offense coordinator and QB(s). -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 14:03
I do not envy the decision USA figure skating has to make tonight for the men’s team. -- nm - MDH Jan 9, 13:46 2
- I think they should go with the top 3. Brown is great to watch but even if he hits he’s not a medal contender. Give the new kid the experience. -- nm - Dano Jan 9, 14:07 1
  - Agree with you completely. I’m just glad I don’t have to be the one to announce it ha. Those skating fans can be vicious. -- nm - MDH Jan 9, 14:14
NFL rules quiz: In an OT game, if the team to first possess the ball consumes then entire OT period on their drive and kicks a FG, do they win? -- nm - Baron Enero Jan 9, 13:39 8
- Yes -- nm - budice Jan 9, 13:41 7
  - The answer appears to be: During the regular season, yes. In the post-season, no. - Baron Enero Jan 9, 13:48 6
    - So essentially that second drive in post-season doesn't even need a clock. Just a play-clock, right? (NM) - Marlowe Jan 9, 14:45 5
      - They need to know when to switch stadium ends. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 14:59 2
        
        Oh, good point. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 9, 15:01 1
        
        It the only reason I got really. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 15:05
      - In theory they could score a FG on that drive and the OT continues, and then no one scores the rest of the quarter, so they go to a 3rd - Reagen Jan 9, 14:47 1
        
        What prompted this was me watching PIT-BAL in OT and the Ravens very deliberately inching down the field. - Baron Enero Jan 9, 15:25
Spider-man $33 ($668.8), Sing 2 $12 ($109.0), The 355 $4.8, The King's Man $3.3 ($25.1), American Underdog $2.4 ($18.7) -- nm - Beaker Jan 9, 13:38 1
- And thus they won the Movie Theater Wars and all movies are Spider-Man now. -- nm - Jovian Jan 9, 14:23
LAC/LV tie apparently gets both in the playoffs? -- nm* - budice Jan 9, 13:35 1
- Yep. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 9, 13:57
oh, Simon & Schuster .. no -- (link) - mud Jan 9, 13:25
Why are quarters 15 minutes but OT is 10? Player safety? -- nm - Volnelk Jan 9, 13:25 2
- OT games can screw up the TV schedule -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 9, 16:41
- Heightened sense of urgency! -- nm - Spawn Jan 9, 15:01
January 9th birthdays: Joan Baez (81), Jimmy Page (78), John Doman (77), Buster Poindexter (72), J.K. Simmons (67), Imelda Staunton (66) -- (edited) - Max Jan 9, 13:22 [youtube]
A tie here if your wondering helps the Colts -- nm - eag Jan 9, 13:19 5
- And eliminates both the Ravens and Steelers. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 9, 13:21 4
  - And would still need a Raiders win -- nm - eag Jan 9, 13:22 3
    - And that point is mute -- nm - eag Jan 9, 13:35 2
      - moot. -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 14:23 1
        
        moo -- nm - joey Jan 9, 14:54
Kick the 70 yarder, cowards -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 13:16 1
- NP coach -- nm - JTuck Jan 9, 13:16
Steelers are such cowards. -- nm - Beaker Jan 9, 13:05
Jacksonville is pissing away the #1 overall pick. That’s peak Jags. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 12:58 10
- With fans in the stands wearing clown wigs. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 9, 13:04
- has a team ever tanked their last game to get a #1 pick ? -- nm - mud Jan 9, 13:03 3
  - is that a rhetorical question, mud? -- nm - ST Jan 9, 13:28 2
    - I thought you were joking sarcastically. Yes, phrases like "suck for luck" have been a thing. Philly famously threw their last game last year. - The Allfather Jan 9, 13:39 1
      - thx -- nm - mud Jan 9, 14:00
- what's worse is that Indy can't beat a 2-14 team. -- nm - Remlik Jan 9, 13:01
- No because Detroit is winning, too. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 9, 13:01 2
  - Ahhh, forgot GB stopped trying when Rodgers quit for the day. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 13:05
  - Correct. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 9, 13:04
- Perverse incentives, ftw! -- nm - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 9, 12:58
Aqib Talib is so charming. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 9, 12:52 1
- how he's never won an Up With People award is beyond me -- nm - prayformojo Jan 9, 13:17
Mac Jones going 2-3 in that blizzard game didn’t set passing back more than Heineken vs Fromm. - Will Hunting Jan 9, 12:39 7
- Fromm and Fields were these two ridiculously highly regarded five-star prospects Georgia signed, and they both suck. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 9, 12:42 6
  - Fromm was never going to be an NFL quarterback. Similar to David Greene, Aaron Murray, etc. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 9, 13:57 1
    - (They also had Eason) -- nm - Strongbad Jan 9, 13:57
  - I’d love to know where each of the top 20 starters ranked as recruits - Will Hunting Jan 9, 12:48 3
    - Here’s a list from 2019 where only about 20% of the starters were top 100 QB recruits (not 100 overall but just qb) - Will Hunting Jan 9, 12:53
    - I feel like we could break Billy Beane's brain by showing him the accuracy of recruiting rankings. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 9, 12:51 1
      - All I’m taking from them is I should not invest in Arch Manning rookie cards. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 12:54
Skol! Noticed some Bears quit on that runback. -- nm - budice Jan 9, 12:38

I Know What You Did Last Summer cancelled by Amazon -- nm - Beaker Jan 9, 12:22 1
- Maybe You Didn’t Do It After All -- nm - Qale Jan 9, 12:48
Maybe Philly can trade Minshew to Indy for a strong draft pick. Win a 3rd QB trade in a year. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 12:18
Wentz! -- nm - Ghost of Irsay Past Jan 9, 12:14

The twins born on cusp of new year, would one go to school a year earlier than the other based on year of birth? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 9, 11:57 4
- I think schools typically divide ages in summer months, but maybe there's a retirement "year you turn x" factor? -- nm - Max Jan 9, 12:00 3
  - I typically see June or September as the cutoff. -- nm - kelly Jan 9, 12:52
  - Not only that, but there can often be some leeway given. - the wrong element Jan 9, 12:11

Imagine that. You add an extra game to the regular season and you get some single season records broken. -- nm - Dano Jan 9, 11:38
Colts are so lucky—Jags had two drives stall, inside the 5…could easily be 21-3 -- nm - Flavorize Jan 9, 11:33 3
- Wentz feels bad for this so keeps throwing INTs to them -- nm - Beaker Jan 9, 12:09 1
  - Trading a 1st rounder, for a QB that implodes in a must win, easy game—it’s sad to watch -- nm - Flavorize Jan 9, 12:13
