In Year One As The Guy, Jordan Love Took The Youngest Team In Football To The Playoffs And Maintained Full Ownership Over The Bears

Don’t leave it up for debate. Either just totally suck or prove you belong. With the youngest offensive unit in football any real team expectations were foolish. Just show me legit lashes and let’s move onto 2024-2025 with a legit plan. I was willing to be patient within reason! Then I glanced at the schedule and thought, hey maybe 9 wins is possible. Could they actually do this if he’s competent?...

Knee Jerk Reactions to Week 18: Patriots vs. Jets

Still packin' them in. Which turned out to be just an anomaly. Which he immediately followed up by makingThe Trouble With Girlsand a steady diet of Peanut Butter & Barbiturate sandwiches. –What’s going to happen to Bill Belichick is a matter for another blog. A seriesI’ve already started, in fact. Which shouldn’t take long, since the Pats really gave us nothing to talk about. –Let’s get this funeral started by focusing on the utter futility on offense....

Monday Rap: Tiger Woods and Nike Are Done, A Tough Reality For Tour Coaches And Chris Kirk Gets The W In Maui

He never looks rushed nor panicked, his silky swing rhythm a natural extension of his unflappable demeanor. The guy doesn’t get down, nor does he get up. That birdie gave Kirk a one-shot lead and the ability to play the par-5 18th conservatively. “It was an unbelievable day,” Kirk said after the $3.6 million victory. This existential battle has moved into its third year. Everyone’s a bit tired of talking about it, of speculating....

UK pours £330M into nuclear fuel to cut energy reliance on Russia

One reason why is that they could unlock the faster and cheaper construction of power stations. They also have the potential to generate low-carbon electricity and produce hydrogen, as well as industrial heat. According to theInternational Atomic Energy Agency, SMRs require between 5% and 20% of HALEU. The first plant is expected to be operational in the early 2030s. For example, France has also pledged 1bn innuclear projects, includingstartupsworking on SMRs....

HANG THE BANNER! The Colts Finished The Season Way Better Than Expected!

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK THEY WERE SO FUCKING CLOSE!!!!!! Now that we got that out of the way, I’m not going to let myself be angry. The loudest of neighs go out to the Indianapolis Colts organization. Even I had expected something close to that.

The Celtics Are Currently Off To One Of The Best Starts In Franchise History And The Scary Part Is They Can Still Get So Much Better

Over the last 96 minutes of basketball, we have yet to see the Celtics trail in a game. I’d say that’s a pretty impressive last two days. Friday night against a Jazz team that had been 7-3 heading into that game, blowout. There’s a reason I call this team a wagon, and we are currently seeing it. This is what wagons do. Credit to me for acknowledging that. So if you want to take what I say with a grain of salt, I get it....

There's Nothing Quite Like A Stress Free Night Of Watching The Celtics Beat Another Team By A Billion

They may stink, but they have been playing well as of late. I couldn’t disagree more. No regular season game, regardless of opponent, will tell us that. I look at a game like last night and I see growth. They aren’t playing with their food. They aren’t overlooking bad teams and assuming they just had to show up to win. So what did they do? They won by a billion....

Closing Arguments: The Case AGAINST Keeping Bill Belichick (Part 1 of 2)

Particularly these last 18 weeks, which have been trying on all of us. In my 20 years in this job, this is the hardest case I’ve ever been confronted with. He turned the Patriots irrelevance into hyper-relevance. And made them the center of the national discourse for over two decades. But to me personally, it’s much more than even that. I have an emotional and professional attachment to the defendant....

Closing Arguments: The Case IN FAVOR OF Keeping Bill Belichick (Part 2 of 2)

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, thank you. But I’ll elaborate. “As Bill Parcells put it, ‘You are what your record says you are.'” Which is, of course, true. What you are not is required to be what your record says you are in perpetuity. Every year is different. Group dynamics get better. Where the Giants teams that won 10 and 9 games what their records said they were? Or are they Super Bowl champions?...
