Yeah I loved that play. I saw them get into formation and thought "Why are they ending regulation? Taking a hail Mary here would be low risk and could win the Super Bowl!" So I was pleased when they tried to make something if it. If it had worked it would have gone down as one of those...
I just wanted to add one thing that I haven't seen addressed. You are discussing the running back as if he is just another receiver who is coming out of the backfield, but on top of actually rushing the ball, he has some other responsibilities that receivers don't usually have on passing plays...
Yeah you're right, that's a thing. It's called a fair catch kick. The 49ers tried to do that at the end of the half a few years ago. I managed to find it on youtube:
It's within the realm of possibility to make a 75-yard kick with no defense, but it is such a low probability play that I'm not...
I for one think that Coach Belichick the Younger sounds like an awesome coach, and I appreciate you sharing the article, even if things went off the rails in the third post.
You know the most incredible implication of this stat? No other team is more than 4 games above .500 against playoff teams specifically because the Patriots beat them all so often.
I agree with everything you are saying, but on top of that, this isn't really possible to do successfully in the NBA anymore either. It was already draining on Russell to spend three years of his life both playing and coaching, even taking over with continuity from the greatest coach of that era...
I agree. Why should I get hot and bothered over where my team's away games are played? Considering travel time and time zone issues, I would even say I prefer they play in D.F. over London.
Not to say I disagree -- in fact, I even brought up a pro-NFL bias as one of the driving forces that tinted ESPN's coverage of ball deflation accusations, and there is evidence that ESPN was motivated to suppress staff criticism of Goodell and the league office in order to maintain a good...
NFL's league office seems to have taken it upon itself to hold a grudge match against Brady. I am presuming that this is Brady's punishment for not immediately accepting whatever charges and punishment Goodell and his cronies decided upon, perhaps as part of a half-****ed revenge plot, or...
Man I never thought I'd see so many fans here admit that they care more about the difference between a 0 point loss and a 3 point loss than they do about the difference between a guaranteed loss and a very long shot at winning. Guys, this is professional sports. Our players and coaches are...
I'm not whining about Kraft, but this is a spurious argument. The "Article 46" disciplinary powers of the commissioner existed under a different name long before the new CBA, and they were never a focus of the negotiations because no commissioner (including Goodell himself) had previously chosen...
Which is the point I'm making. This is even more problematic for situations where we don't have a union representing us to collectively bargain an agreement guaranteeing neutral arbitration, which the NFLPA could do in their next CBA negotiation. For example, if I sign a cell phone contract, can...
Even worse, their argument was that the "conduct detrimental" clause and the player contract are notice that the commissioner is empowered to punish players through fines and suspensions of unlimited length without constraint and without reference to any specific action a player takes so long as...
Not just unions. Considering the growing prevalence of binding arbitration agreements in everything from employer contracts to consumer agreements, all Americans should be furious if it is determined that those in positions of power can pick arbitrators who will guarantee them the result they...
