Re: NFL Week 14 - including New Jersey at New York!
These guys...
Every few years, defences adjust and then the league has to tweak the rules to bring more scoring back. It's been happening since the 70s.

Re: NFL Week 14 - including New Jersey at New York!
At the moment, the Bucs and Giants are in playoff position.
Other than the Texans, Colts and Broncos, I don't think they'd be favoured over any AFC team.
And the Seahawks aren't any better.

Re: World Cup - Qatar - Knockout rounds to the Final
Don't like having Kane take the second PK. Don't understand not putting Grealish in the second that PK was missed (as soon as possible). In general, I think he waited too long on all the subs. That was a great game. Going with the same penalty taker is like going with the same play on 4th and 1 twi...

Re: World Cup - Qatar - Knockout rounds to the Final
Don't like having Kane take the second PK. If a different player took that second PK and did not score, the second-guessing and complaints about not using Harry Kane would be so loud we'd hear them all the way across the ocean. That's very true. Kane is as money as there is when it comes to PKs.

Re: World Cup - Qatar - Knockout rounds to the Final
Gruesome moments for Spurs fans.
Kane is booed everywhere he plays (outside Tottenham), I can only imagine what the rest of this season will be like.
But on the bright side, I am ecstatic to see the end of the Portuguese diving team.

Re: World Cup - Qatar - Knockout rounds to the Final
Watching games on delay - just finished the Brazil-Croatia game... and instant classic. Absolutely wild how both teams managed (more or less) to play their style. Yet even though the Croatia keeper should get a statue in Zagreb, it really can't be said that Croatia didn't deserve the win.

The whole premise of the Walker campaign was that the candidate did not matter, that what you were really voting for was a 1/100 vote in the Senate, and you should use that vote to frustrate and negate whatever Joe Biden wants to do. The vast majority of Walker ads never mentioned Walker, and I don...

Ghana got too carried away with 'revenge' against Uruguay today.

A thoroughly delightful performance by the Bills last night. The defense is starting to get healthier, and there's nothing like a game against a weak offensive line, a poor QB and a Matt Patricia offence to get things going in the right direction.
