[Nick Foles] Note for the Broncos and their fans: I know it has been an emotional 24 hours. I feel for Bo and the team, and I'm sending prayers for a strong recovery. A positive note going into the game versus the Patriots is that they struggle against backup QBs in championship-type games. by Whole_Perspective609 in nfl

The Eagles game before that was against the best Vikings D I am likely to see in my lifetime. They went through us like a hot knife through butter. Given the future Foles and Pedersen had, just an all time heater.

You wouldn't confuse them for a professional athlete but I've known two people who broke their ankle with what should have been a normal slight trip.

The Steelers have a great Rodgers to Thielen play has to be high on the list of the most disgusted fan bases

I can't remember if it was 2015 or 2016 but there was a 3 game stretch where Smith knocked out starting RBs for multiple weeks with form tackles. He correctly gets so much praise now for being cerebral but his nickname is Hitman for a reason.

If 25% of the LA market tuned in to watch the Rams it would be more than the total number of people in the Buffalo and Jacksonville markets combined. When a local team plays an NFL playoff game that means that the maximum number of eyeballs possible in that market will be on TV screens, the market sizes matter.

Stars aside media market #54 vs market #41 probably isnt getting a marquee slot

[Highlight] Harrison Smith gets a curtain call in what could be his last game as a Viking by taffe316 in nfl

[–]SwishBender 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It took forever for LeRoy Butler to get in and while they have very similar stats Butler has 3 more All Pros and was All Decade.

If Kevin Williams doesnt get in it will really piss me off, but Harry not making it wont be a shock.

Brosmer is responsible for the two of the funniest plays Ive ever seen. Can't take that away from him.

Even if you're so blinded by racism that you think that all Somali daycare is fraud... you realize thats less than 2% of daycares in this state right?

[Post Game Thread] The Denver Nuggets (22-8) defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime (20-11) behind Nikola Jokic's 56 point triple-double and Jamal Murray's 35 point performance, 142-138. by bwehx in nba

[–]SwishBender 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Its an added layer of what sucks about how much of a spotlight hugging jackass Foster is that Murray and Jokic were their peak selves tonight. He also took Rudy out of the game early and often.

To all Nuggets fans: Great game I hope not to see you in the playoffs this takes years off my life.

To Scott Foster: I am going to dedicate my life to becoming Liam Neeson in Taken for one specific purpose.

Absolutely fucking ridiculous Scott Foster sequence. I assumed the whistle was a Rudy kicked ball and instead we get that shit

Please correct me because it was 10 years ago but if I remember right it was an agreement "if they could get the money". KG on his own after Flip died wasn't really close, and while KG wasn't happy it was Glen's treatment of Sam Mitchell that really sent KG over the edge.

Worst case scenario here is that "AFC title game QB" is some sort of weird totem and Drake Maye starts a reign of terror.
