  1. Play enough 1v16 games and eventually the 16th seed will win.
  2. Modern sports uniform aesthetics in a nutshell
  3. The charging bronco is a better logo than the old D horse
  4. The football world has collectively lost its mind in regards to uniform aesthetics
  5. 1800 yards and 13 TDs for an mvp? They won 30-0 in the game he missed and Mostert had 21 TDs
  6. I voted for the teal version because the color scheme is more unique in the league
  7. They really need to use BIR instead of BHAM. Do they think nobody will know what city BIR refers to??
  8. The Bowl Coalition was a step above de-facto national title games so I started there.
  9. Arbitrarily splitting a league into geographic divisions is boring.
  10. I looked it up and only found two other times something like this has happened since they created the national championship game in 1992: 1993 was FSU (never) vs Nebraska (1971) 2010 was Auburn (1956) vs Oregon (never)
  11. We missed out on an undefeated P5 champion in the playoffs and Georgia going for a threepeat for... a boring Alabama team that got bounced in the semis
  12. Caught this hilarious Giants loss on redzone: New York scores a late TD and kicks the XP to tie the game Penalty on the defense, Daboll says hm yep take our point off the board 2-point conversion fails, Giants down 1 Get the ball back with ~1 minute left Tyrod Taylor runs 40 yards to LA's 35 Panic spike it at 40 seconds left Surely our 39-year old kicker is a sure thing from 52! Terrible run play loses 2 yards Terrible pass play falls incomplete FG lands in a different timezone, Giants lose
  13. MVP goes to the QB with the best stats who makes the playoffs. Obviously putting up 5000 yards and 40 TDs is gonna win you a lot of games, and seeding can come into play in close races (Rodgers-Brady 2021) but it's not like the AP just looks at the teams with a bye and says here's our candidates. See: Ryan Tannehill, also in 2021
  14. Not with the side panels. After they dropped those it was fine
  15. They like playing football and probably don't want to let their teammates down
  16. The NFL never had a genuinely bad uniform in its history until the early 2000s (Rams, Bills, Falcons et al.)
  17. Half a football game is zoomed-in replays and closeup shots of players standing around. The "You don't see it during the action" argument works even less than it does when people use it to defend uniform advertisements in other sports
  18. The designated rival thing is a fun thought but it always ends up with a few obvious choices then a bunch of leftovers paired together. Jets-Giants Chargers-Rams Raiders-49ers Steelers-Eagles Texans-Cowboys Broncos-Seahawks Jaguars-Panthers Ravens-Commanders/Colts Browns-Lions? Chiefs-Packers? Bears-Cardinals? Bills-Vikings (0-4 bowl) Bengals, Falcons, Titans, Saints, Patriots?????
  19. I'm not commenting on who was deserving. The Heisman has never generated less hype and interest as far back as I can remember
  20. I heard plenty about Williams, then Penix, then Nix. Daniels captaining a team that had no expectation to win their division let alone their conference surely had something to do with the lack of hype.
  21. The Heisman trophy has reached its nadir. I never heard this guy's name all season, and I watched a good amount of football
