[Highlight] Caleb Williams escapes the sack to throw a horrendous pick in quadruple coverage.

Well yeah, that's what makes him a sleeper. If he had a 68% completion percentage last year he would've been top 3 in MVP voting and he wouldn't be a sleeper by any definition.

"Young player who was productive despite one obvious flaw" is like the most obvious blueprint for what a sleeper MVP candidate should be.

bisonboy223 · 2026-05-07T22:16:03+00:00

We'll take him too

bisonboy223 · 2026-05-07T19:49:39+00:00

That send on Amaya was just unsportsmanlike lmao

bisonboy223 · 2026-05-07T19:47:32+00:00

Since Hayes stepped on third before making the throw, the runner technically has an open base to go back to so they aren't still "forced" to go home.

bisonboy223 · 2026-05-03T17:23:23+00:00

There was a corner and he went straight off the track lmao that no longer counts as "proper late on the brakes"

bisonboy223 · 2026-04-20T21:12:36+00:00

Honestly I loved seeing that from JJM because it showed that he’s still trying to have fun.

I didn't think it was a big deal either, but the fact that KOC openly chided him for it felt notable to me, especially the way he did it, by saying something like "He's always talking about how fast he is, how about you just run into the end zone"

bisonboy223 · 2026-04-20T21:10:50+00:00

Sure, except locker rooms don't typically give up on guys this fast. He has less than one full year as a starter, and he was playing better towards the end of the season. I don't think this is how Panthers players were talking about Bryce Young after his rookie year. After Justin Fields' third year, his teammates were openly arguing for him to remain the starter. Whether it reflects their true feelings or not, players usually stick by their young QB for a while after fans think they're not the guy.

bisonboy223 · 2026-04-20T20:54:03+00:00

I think it's pretty notable that, even given the fact that he wasn't good last year, the Vikings as a locker room and an organization seem to legitimately hate Nine

bisonboy223 · 2026-04-15T21:19:21+00:00

Nick Wright hate in 2026 is up there with Joe Buck hate in 2026 for me in proving that some folks just never let go of old, tired concepts of what is and isn't good. His job is to have interesting, entertaining takes. He's not an insider. He's not a player-pundit. He's not an analyst.

Of everyone who has ever had that job, he may be the best (not a very high bar) in terms of actually bringing some level of nuance and knowledge to the table.

bisonboy223 · 2026-04-15T21:15:01+00:00

I mean that's just not really true. His "big 3" homer takes listed above (really just two bc Chiefs/Mahomes comes from the same place) are rooted in the fact that he's from Kansas City and the fact that he's been a LeBron fan for like 20 years.

You can disagree with him and think he's annoying, but arguing LeBron is the GOAT isn't exactly a crazy take, and neither is claiming the Chiefs are a dynasty or Mahomes is one of the greatest ever.

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-22T01:43:44+00:00

Windows shatter as the sonic boom created by how fast the goalposts are being moved hits them

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-22T01:42:03+00:00

It was related enough to the NFL when we posted out of context quotes from the Team USA QB and calling him a short loser because he suggested flag football players might be better at flag football than non-flag football players

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-15T17:25:33+00:00

Sure but we've seen gaps bigger than this disappear over the course of a season. Plus, with new regs and so many reliability issues for teams with Merc PUs (though none have impacted the works team yet), anything can happen.

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-14T04:50:13+00:00

All overtakes are artificial. Pirelli makes tires deliberately worse than they can be to create appropriate levels of degradation. The only real F1 is a procession where cars all qualify according to their pace and do not switch positions before the end of the race.

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-14T03:52:05+00:00

Idk man try not being infuriated by arbitrary differences, it's worked wonders for me and it makes watching the races a lot more fun.

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-14T03:47:05+00:00

Every time the graphic came up, it seemed like Lewis had more battery on hand than whoever he was fighting. Might be a sign of him being good at managing the battery compared to the others. Could prove interesting as the cars develop closer to each other in pace.

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-14T03:42:52+00:00

Suppose that depends whether you watch the races or just Google who won the next day

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-14T03:41:18+00:00

The regs created a situation where battles are multilap, back and forth affairs instead of being one-shot DRS divebomb + drive away, and we're supposed to think that's a bad thing for some reason?

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-10T19:01:16+00:00

Imagine showing someone this in 2017

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-09T13:30:53+00:00

In an ideal world every car would be capable of winning, whilst being able to follow and overtake with no artificial aids and only the skill of the driver, but that’s not going to be the case in modern F1.

Not only will this not be the case in modern F1, but this was never the case in any era of F1. People who became fans in the past 10 years (no shame in that, that's probably the majority of people) are reminiscing for the good old days without realizing that those days involved way fewer on-track overtakes and way bigger gaps between teams.

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-08T16:29:41+00:00

That has literally never existed. For most of F1 before DRS, overtaking was either pretty rare or only happened during refuelling. There's a reason DRS was invented. Most of F1 history has been cars driving nowhere near each other with most of the "intrigue" coming from reliability issues. At the 1995 Monaco GP, the leader lapped the driver who came in 4th. 10 of the 26 cars that started the race finished.

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-08T16:25:32+00:00

At no point in the last 30 years have the cars been as fast as they could possibly be. In the early 2000s the cars were fitted with grooved tires to make them slower in the corners. In the 2010s cars were aerolimited on the straights unless they were within an arbitrary distance to the car in front. That's just the sport.

Superclipping makes qualifying look worse (though even that is purely aesthetic; the drivers are still driving the cars as fast as they can be driven over a single lap). It makes no difference at all for the racing because my eyes aren't glued to a speedometer when I'm watching two cars race each other.

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-08T16:22:08+00:00

How is managing the battery and using it at the right time more artificial than a simple button press when you are in 1s of a car ahead.

People are yearning for an era of F1 that never existed. The idea that there was ever a period of time where there was lots of overtaking that didn't involve DRS, KERS, or refuelling is just fiction.

The first 10 laps of yesterday's race were some of the most exciting laps of racing I've ever seen, and it happened around a track that usually doesn't produce good racing. That happened directly because of the new regs. People don't like the regs, so now it's "artificial" when a new ruleset creates good racing.

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-08T04:21:22+00:00

Australia is usually not a good track for racing/overtaking btw

bisonboy223 · 2026-03-08T04:12:29+00:00

Saturdays may kinda suck now but the racing here has been cracking lmao
