This is a fun 8 minutes. A couple thoughts: -it's hilarious that it took Ben Simmons more games to hit a 3 than Boban -the funniest one is probably Brook Lopez. It takes him 300+ games and until his 7th season to hit one, then 2 years later he's shooting 5 per game -Steven Adams makes his first as a heave from beyond half court and my first thought is "I wonder if that's his only one" and it was. He's 1-17 in his career.

They have 4 wins over teams that are 0-8, 1-7, 2-7 and 3-5. They tied an NFL record by allowing 30+ points in 6 straight games. They still play Denver twice, Seattle and at KC so that’s 9 losses at minimum. They might be a game out but they’re a bad team and they weren’t making the playoffs with Cousins.

Eh not like you said they’d get a 1st and they got a 5th. But yeah, seems like a fine deal for the Raiders.

Looks like it only took a 3rd rounder. The Raiders might have claimed they didn’t want to trade him but there also wasn’t really a point in keeping him either.

What constitutes "a lot". Cousins is 38 so it shouldn't take that much. Vikings have a really good defense but are a disaster at QB. Bringing in a decent QB could make them a Super Bowl contender. Just look at Seattle last year.

Yes, I know that Maye has 11 picks this year and that Caleb had 1 this year before today. Just thought the timing was funny.

I'm not sure I agree with it but I get it. For the two-loss teams: OSU gets dinged because they didn't look good without Sayin last week and he's not coming back. If they win out, they'll be in because other teams above them will lose. And if Sayin is that much of a loss, they'll lose another game or two and be out anyway. USC gets dinged because of Sayin being out. They're low but they still play at Indiana and at UCLA so they're in if they win their last three games. Iowa lost by 17 to the only ranked team they've played. Northwestern lost to both ranked teams they've played (Indiana and Oregon) but they still play Iowa and Ohio St.

Yeah that's a weird situation. Seems like they generally tried to follow H2H. BYU over ND, Bama over Kentucky, Ole Miss behind Texas but ahead of LSU. The problem is if you move Tennessee up ahead of Bama, they're then ahead of Texas who beat them. If you rank them Texas-Tennessee-Bama, well, then we're parsing good wins (Texas over OSU, Tenn, Ole Miss, Bama over Kent, Tenn over Bama) vs bad losses (Texas to OU, Tenn to South Carolina, Bama none). Without putting too much thought into it, I guess I'd reward Texas for the OSU game, and rank those four Tex-Tenn-Bama-Kent and figuring it will sort itself out with the ranked games each one has left.

Shades of the AL this year except in the AL the three good teams all made the playoffs. But it’s more than the AL West winner got to host a playoff series and the Central winner got a bye (South and East obviously won’t get byes but like you said, they’ll host a game).

Butler missing to the right costing the Chiefs the game.

This year was the first time in the WC era (so since 1995) that the team with the better record won every series. The lone upset by seed was White Sox over Astros but the Sox had the better record.

Meh. Thats pretty tame. He’s telling fans to do what fans are going to do, which is trash talk fans of a rival fan base.

I feel a little bad for Cooper Pratt. You hit a home run that would have been shown for decades if the Brewers close out Game 4 and now it’s going to be largely forgotten except among Brewers fans.

Something finally went the Rays way this series. Seems like every bounce has favored Milwaukee. A pair of 1 run wins and Game 3 was very nearly only 2-0 going to the bottom of the 5th.

Give me one more win at least so then I'll either get the Brewers winning at home (always better when that happens) or only the second 3-0 comeback ever.
