No way the universe is this cruel to Lions fans, right…

Probably the best offensive year of basketball we’ve ever seen. Wonder if they’ll try to nerf it with some new rules/emphasis, or if 70 points becomes the new 50.

They’ll probably just use their respective 3 point lines and balls. The college slam dunk and three point championships have had this for years, and it’s a huge hit.

I’m no fan of the Lions’ pointless all whites, but at least it’s a cohesive look from the neck down. I’ll take the all whites every day of the week over those dumb white socks with white pants the Eagles wore during the last Super Bowl

If they weren’t pullovers I’d be all about the Nats’ home uniforms, tho I’d prefer the DC front and center. Roads are kind of a snoozer, but as long as they actually wear grey every road game we’re good.

Very Falcons thing to do where you refuse to hire your 4-7 interim, hire a doofus from outside the organization for three years of nothing football, then fire him and hire the interim you could have had in the first place. Those three years of Art now mean even less. Not super stoked on Heem based on his interim stint, but players absolutely love the guy and he has been doing great for the Rams. Mostly I’m glad it’s not Belichick. That would have never not been weird and I can continue cursing that man’s name for infinity.

Had to work so unfortunately couldn’t be there, but great opening night for the league. Nearly a reverse sweep and a fifth set that finished 15-13. Only one uncompetitive set too, that bodes well for competitive balance within in the league. Play was clearly high-level, and the people I know who were there had great things to say about the atmosphere. Hopefully the 11k is consistent for attendance. Local broadcast was saying a chunk was grade school classes and youth volleyball teams, so I guess we’ll see.

I didn’t have a problem with the white outlines, but no outline does do the vintage storied Yankees charm thing better. Probably gonna need to see it on the field to really Judge.

Chiefs are my side team but God I’m so gutted for the Bills. If it didn’t happen this year, in this game, I don’t know if it ever will.

Love the fumble touchback rule with all my heart. Bills couldn’t do a damn thing with it, so after all that we’re back to where they would be if they punted initially.

NBC traded with CBS in 2022 so that there wouldn’t be a Super Bowl competing with the Winter Olympics. Plus, the new rotation contract goes in effect this year with CBS starting off the rotation.

It was a first down with two timeouts and 50 seconds left. At that point chuck it out of bounds and live to fight another down.

Nothing good ever comes after the announcer screaming “THROWS ACROSS HIS BODY”

My childhood bedroom was absolutely covered with their posters, and their cards were the start of my trading card collection. Good times.

At least the Bills are behaving themselves.

One of Jared Goff/Baker Mayfield/Jordan Love/Brock Purdy will be in the Super Bowl.

Two Eagles run into each other, giving up a wide open touchdown. Kinda says it all right there, doesn’t it.

I think that’s about the right level for him. All the tools of a decent QB are certainly there, but he had one absurdly costly turnover where he didn’t see something on the defense in each of the last three games. A change of scenery and a full season with less pressure should help him a lot.

The ratio on NFL vs. Everything Else on ESPN is the best it’s been in a few years, but still too heavy on the shield for my tastes. I might have to check out of SportsCenter again if it flips back.

LSU AND STANFORD GO DOWN IN THE WOMEN’S GAME THIS. IS. JANUARY.

Would have been a 62 yard field goal too. Not ideal, but you’re in a dome and Maher’s made from that distance before. Add in blowing two timeouts on delays of game, and McVay got seriously outcoached tonight.

The Packers going for it on fourth and goal up 41-16 for no other reason than to give the middle finger to Mike McCarthy. This has got to be the most cathartic game ever.

The Freezer Bowl was played before the 2001 wind chill recalculation, the same conditions would be -32 today. https://web.archive.org/web/20140104111820/http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=grb&storyid=99351&source=0

Bama’s found their next man. DeBoer’s won a lot everywhere he’s been, including an unreal 67-3 record at NAIA Sioux Falls. I’m curious what the standard will be for him. How long will Bama be willing to wait for another title?

Elsewhere, UCF took down #3 Kansas and Mississippi State took down #5 Tennessee! If Xavier can come back on #4 UConn, the entire top five would have lost to an unranked team in two days. EDIT: Xavier couldn’t do it, but still what a week
