Belo Horizonte - Brazil
Two different networks here in Brazil bought the rights to show NBA games and the Celtics game isn't on any of their 5 combined channels. Since I'm not that big of a basketball fan to leave my couch and look for a stream, guess I'm stuck with this matchup.

I do not get declining a 15 yard penalty and allowing Atlanta to kick a 41 yard FG. You could have pushed them out of FG range at the 39 with a 3rd Down play coming up.

Yeah that seemed odd to me too

I get they will probably run something against a soft defense and pick up yards back and you want to avoid the dumb 5 yard penalty-first down but given field position seems like the benefits of taking the penalty outweigh the risks

Players don't seem to play without penalties on every other play. What do you do about it because it's awful?

Tampa has turned the ball over twice with two incredibly stupid fumbles, have had a shit ton of penalties to halt drives, and yet are leading the NFC contender Falcons.

Atlanta is just marching toward a home playoff loss in the wildcard round.

Zero clue what to expect in the Jets-Phins game today. Jets have won 4 of their last 5 in Miami. Big game for both teams. I think the Jets find a way.

Watching Mike Evans and Julio Jones makes me greedily wish the Patriots could draft a guy like that. They're so incredibly good - Mike Evans is amazing for how big he is.
Highly unlikely we ever will shop in this food aisle. We pick too low and Belichick advised Dimitroff not to make the trade for Jones.

Steelers saying Ben is questionable is like Brian Cashman saying Yankees will stand pat at trading deadline or in FA.
