The thing with Kliff’s house is anyone living in a place like that isn’t gonna sustain success, whether you’re talking about football or narcotics trafficking.
Week 16. Merry Christmas, Baby

I don’t get how the NFL isn’t a bigger global sport. The NFL is so good. I like most sports but man, I love pro football.
If you think there's a 10% chance of a blocked kick loss then it's a bad risk, no way he's 10% to make a 67 yarder, probably closer to 1%
Ok, so he misses it and it goes to OT, just like the hail mary attempt. But I'd still put a FG make at 50x more probable than than the hail mary completion. If Kingsbury thinks he even has a 10% chance to beat Tom Brady in OT, then he must be a terribly optimistic guy...
Jacoby Brissett beat Tom Brady in overtime this year....
And I actually doubt a 67 yard fg is more likely than something good happening on hail mary, and the odds of something bad happening are way more likely with the fg
The correct play is run a draw with Conner, lateral to Hopkins who laterals it to McSorley standing near the logo. Can’t fail.
Actually I amend my estimate of 50x more likely of the FG being successful, seems a bit less mostly considering this study done by the Indy Star where 4.5%(!) of hail mary's were successful. (But obviously, based on McSorely's arm that was damn near nil to be successful.) https://www.indystar.com/story/colts-insider/2014/08/20/colts-hail-mary-boomstick-long-field-goal/14331211/
Brissett is miles ahead of McSorely, my evidence is when they show the parents in the stands of an NFL game that's a bad sign .
In any case, Merry Christmas/happy holidays and thanks for the discourse tonight!
It is a sport only its parents can love.
Least amount of action, most commercials and it takes the longest to watch.
I have only been to a few games, but it is one of the worst in-person sporting events to go to. People will say soccer is boring but in the stands it is a party the entire time.

Feels like maybe it is on the rise globally. The international games continue to be pretty well attended , with the foray into Germany this year having been a huge hit. There was also an interesting story on NFLN yesterday about the passion Ukrainian solders have for it, particularly Brady and the Bucs. I wonder if the fact that, I think, outside of the US and Canada, it is not meaningfully played on the youth and high school level hurts it. With a few exceptions, very few players coming from outside the US.
Interesting data, but lacking context, IMO. The NFL is a great television product, despite average length of game. It’s cinematic looking, very well shot and produced. And every play tends to hold the attention, in terms of what could happen. An NFL game never feels long to me, whereas, baseball and soccer at least often do. I’m with you on the live part though. Brutal to sit through the tv timeouts, deal with logistics of getting in out, etc. Though not of that seems to be much of a deterrent to attendance.
James is lucky he didn't injure his own spinal column, in addition to the damage on the receiver.
Concussed himself, almost fell trying to stand, got flagged by the neurologist upstairs and was in the tent before he was even ejected
Absolutely, that is the broken neck impact angle. It's fractions of inches of luck/bad luck at that point.
Why are the Chargers running the ball down by the goal line? Don't they know you can fumble it that way and lose the opportunity to score? Why are they being so cavalier?
Ekler could have lateraled that to another player for a tuddy. These guys are so behind the NFL curve!
This throw is a Lazer BTW

How many guys in the league make that throw before the DB gets over? 5? Maybe 7?

Feels like he makes one of those types of throws every game. The arm talent is just off the charts.
I feel like there are fewer than even five starters who have Herbert's arm talent but who knows. Mahomes and Allen get more love for their ability to make something out of nothing but I think Herbert excels at this too.
