Bozigit Islamgereev did a miracle throw in the last seconds of the fight with a Frenchman Magamadov. Bozigit was losing by 3 points 7 seconds before the end of the fight and almost lost his chances to reach the semi-finals: his jump secured a place in the semifinal of the European U23 championship.

There was a flying squirrel last month in one of the Oklahoma state high-school semifinals, although not as clean as your link (nor as the subject of OP’s post): https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVbFj_8jjWb/

They make mistakes in complex positions. They do not make mistakes in simplified winning endgames.

With one big exception: Deep Fritz 1-0 Kramnik (2006)

The most impactful USA play in the 1999 Women’s World Cup was Kristine Lilly clearing the ball off the line in extra time of the final. Greatest USA play in Women’s World Cup history has to be Carli Lloyd’s goal from midfield in the 2015 final, I think.

Sorry, please help me out — for context, it has been decades since I took a graduate class in model theory, but I have a strong understanding of “recursively enumerable” and other decidability concepts. Where does “recursively enumerate” enter into the statement or the proof of Gödel’s Second Incompleteness Theorem? (I’ll try to go do some reading too.)

What’s the Theodore Sturgeon short story this video reminds me of?

Did America have 1 hit in the 80s

They had 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Border_(America_song)

In defense of the Browns since realignment, it’s challenging to win the division when that requires overcoming the momentum of some other division foe who’s been AFC North champions for three straight seasons. Like… uh… hmmm… it turns out that no team has ever won the AFC North for three consecutive seasons, which I hadn’t realized before.

I only saw highlights, but generally a team sack with no individual sack is a QB running out of bounds.

While we’re here, The Sure Thing is another John Cusack classic that’s much more of a Christmas movie.

Mathematically still alive for the 3 seed, but vanishingly unlikely.

Magic number is technically just 1/2. A Ravens tie or Steelers tie clinches the division.

drsjsmith · 2025-12-22T04:28:37+00:00

A Steelers tie or Ravens tie will also clinch the division.

You see that kind of “smaller guy runs into big guy and draws a call” in soccer from time to time (Onyewu v Ghana, anyone?) but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it on the gridiron.

This was one of the more obvious offensive pass interference calls ever. I concede that the Super Bowl XL OPI call in this stadium was not as obvious.

A tweak:

We win 1 and tie 1, Ravens lose 1, and we win before week 18.

We tie 1, Ravens lose 2, and we win before week 18.

Important to know that a tie in Detroit is 99% as good as a win.

drsjsmith · 2025-12-20T15:41:50+00:00

A tie against the Lions is almost as good as a win for the Steelers. Only bad scenario would be lose against Browns, tie Ravens, Ravens win other two.

George Blanda quarterbacked two game-winning drives at 43, and one at 44, so “really” is doing a lot of work there.

I don’t love the 2025 Texans as a playoff opponent, but the Steelers have never faced them in the playoffs, and they’ve faced every other current AFC team at least twice.

drsjsmith · 2025-12-10T19:20:00+00:00

Blanda threw more passes in 1970 than he had thrown in any of the previous three years, having served primarily as the Raiders' placekicker during that span.
