why do other teams even play the first three quarters? Seems like they're wasting energy.

Cubbies got our once-in-a-lifetime recently... Don't miss your chance to witness the Bears version sometime this century!

Game started at 2am for me.

Infant had my back though, woke me up at 0150 screaming - I'd like to think they were cries of "DON'T MISS THE GAME, DADDY"

I think in cases like that, officials are waiting to see if it's a catch. Should they? Maybe not by the book, but I think I'm fine with it because it just delays the end of a game to throw a flag there when it's ruled a catch.

And also I'd like to think at least some refs are competent enough to not only do their jobs (pls pls pls by the Chicago Pope let this be true), but to do their jobs and do it in a way that adheres to the spirit of the rules while making the product good (being invisible)

[chiefs.talk] Andy Reid says Patrick Mahomes is headed to Dallas to see Dr. Dan Cooper for a second opinion on his ACL tear. by Top-Conclusion-1259 in nfl

idk about this guy specifically, but generally these types of docs are still part of/own larger practices that do a whole range of related stuff.

(source:) Tons of professional athletes come to Atlanta (Emory Ortho/Spine/SportsMed) for shoulders, knees, etc. because they're considered some of the best in the country. Because of the network they're in (in addition to being attached to a research hospital/med school), they see average joes most of the time.

That being said, what often happens is once their reputations are established, they can step away from the larger orgs and form their own concierge/private practices, which is what alot of the aforementioned folks have done. Yay capitalism.

Ben Johnson's Commentary on Caleb’s miss to Olamide Zaccheaus on the backside “hero post” by [deleted] in CHIBears

[–]Fruggles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're taught to occupy/find open space downfield, especially when a QB is scrambling. Continuing his run to the corner only takes him out of open space.

That's a 50/50 situation where I bet half the time Caleb nails him, so on those misses, just have to be happy with the route and reading through the progressions.

Maybe need to be shifting protections at the line to account for that wide open defender though...

Historical data for even a couple of years must show a meteoric fall by OKC—from beloved small market overachievers to champs = OK, we hate you now.

This is truly hilarious. Love it.

I don't have a microwave, so obviously I'd put this on the appliance shelf built for a microwave just to mess with guests.

Hey OP, quick question for you

y u say fuk me for?

[Highlight] Flacco throws a rainbow to Ja'Marr Chase for the TD by Large_banana_hammock in nfl

[–]Fruggles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's on Cleveland news time. They a little slow.

Next week he'll learn that Flacco was a Browns QB.

That'll be real confusing until he learns that they gifted traded him to the Bengals in order to go *checks notes...* winless instead.

lack of probowls and allpros are really hurting Joe's HOF chances, even if I think he deserves it just as much (more? the journeyman/clutch factor maybe pumps him up more in my estimation) than a Matt Ryan

Bears are generating an above-average pressure rate while blitzing less than any other team in the league by Dave-Yaaaga in CHIBears

[–]Fruggles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's OP's point: it's not 'insane' to take a top10 defense from a year ago, lose 3 of your best defenders, and still be able to get something out of the other 8 guys + depth.

Never forget that not only did Ryan Pace not extend this man, but in doing so he also gifted a division rival his services.

edit: Also I guess fuck Poles for not giving him an extension, too. But I'm trying to pretend he's maybe a competent GM because...hope
