This weekend is working to be a trial run when they expand to a 16 team playoff. They’ll adjust the season so Round 1 (it won’t be the wild card round anymore) will be MLK weekend. They’ll do a triple header on Saturday and Sunday, and then an afternoon and night game on Monday. And have the player...

I think fans' view of Jason Garrett the analyst would be significantly different if they could separate him as an analyst from Jason Garrett the Cowboys coach

case in point:

This helmet thing is fascinating to me. 1) the military precision in having the backup helmet ready between plays and 2) the fact that the backup helmet doesn’t fit, despite having months to try it out. I think the cold played a role in both events eta: it's uncomfortable as f outside. when the win...

One drain in front of the sliding door. Patio guy said not enough pitch to the driveway for additional drains. I need to find someone more experienced who might have some additional ideas.

I now find myself wanting to re-landscape your yard and solve this issue for whatever weird reason

Brontoburglar

I know you've probably said this previously, but is this all groundwater? How is your yard sloped? I still have PTSD from all the times my basement flooded and I had to stay up all night with wet vacs, so I totally can relate. it's terrible. Looks like the wife saved out guest room, but the mudroom...

if you buy a new door handle it may be easier to just install that in whole than trying to put your current one back together via a repair

these have been my go-to breakfast bar, but they are also expensive and I've moved away from them. I stock up whenever they're at costco, but $20 for 12 is still pricey, especially when you're buying 5-6 boxes at a time because they're not always in stock (and I don't go to costco more than once a ...

everything ok? this feels more than the typical way that patriots-related topics go

I’m even more confused now — are you saying that a coach can only be considered as part of a coaching tree by virtue of where his first coaching job was? You should know exactly what I'm saying with your wealth of knowledge. Thanks for the comments as always. unfortunately, my genius doesn't extend...

our bike crapped out so we needed a replacement. she has been wanting one for a few years -- basically since we bought this house -- so this was the time to do it with the black friday deal I haven't tried any of the classes yet but will be doing that soon as I'm running out of scenic rides.

I think maybe 175 is my aim overall, dunno. 168 to get within alleged normal weight per BMI chart. Will see how it goes and if I am able to keep losing steadily. Your progress is awesome -- and if you're already in 34s, I don't know if you need to sweat the BMI chart too much. go for whatever goal ...

odd argument aside, trying to claim that a guy who got his first major head coaching job directly after spending five seasons in New England and working his way up the offensive staff *isn't* part of the New England/Belichick coaching tree is quite the reach

metro area or strict city limits on No. 3?

Washington is +160. So is UM like the Patriots where any time the media doesn't say the other team simply cannot win, its disrespect and Wolverines vs the World nonsense? Not for me it's not. I'm specifically reacting to The Athletic article and takes from college coaches that are tethered in "...

No, no... you're right and I'm clearly from that culture. I don't buy the refs are out to get us (2018 OSU game notwithstanding), but guilty as charged on a lot of the media coverage riling me up. (With that said, I'm not gonna go through the entire Athletic article, but there are some outrageous &...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that The Athletic has yet another article with anonymous coaches saying MI doesn't stand a chance against their up coming opponent. Now he line is MI can't deal with Penix and his NFL-caliber receivers. JFC. what Michigan’s bruising play along the lines and run-heav...

All this drama because they forgot that teams can only field 11 guys.

Bills host the 7 seed if they win

the rationale for Daniels over Penix was pretty simple: JD led the nation in Y/A, YPC, and was the only QB to throw for over 3,000 yards and rush for over 1,000 yards. he led Y/A by a full yard and YPC by over a half yard. He also had a pass efficiency rating 20 points higher than Bo Nix, the man wh...

I'm pretty convinced that the people who didn't vote for Penix for the heisman never actually watched him play.

well actually

Weird - are you replying to a post that is not mine? I called it malpractice - I didn’t say it was better or worse than 2022 - but it is absurd to basically neglect that room in the way that KC did. Mahomes can only do so much. And relying on kadarius Toney on any level in a meaningful way as part ...

Fracas in KC! Man alive, the malpractice from the KC front office with respect to their WR room...just...yikes. It’s like Andy Reid looked back fondly on his WR corps in the early 2000s in Philly and wanted to recreate that. Its fookin' nuts. The WR room changes from 2022 to 2023: Out: JuJu Smith-S...

feels like the simplest explanation is that the officials mistook Decker and Skipper somehow and that set off the chain of events

(not a defense, it just feels like the only way this makes sense without veering too off the rails)

it would make more sense if the true records were per game/percentage based but that will never happen for a variety of reasons
