Combined over 2 legs: Chelsea had 2.6 xG on 27 shots including 13 on target. PSG had 1.99 xG on 17 shots including 13 on target. PSG won 8-2 on aggregate.

Not related to seeding but Missouri being a 10 seed and getting to play in St Louis seemed a little strange.

I'll never forget being at a game in 2014 and telling my wife that Junior Lake wasn't a good hitter. He then hit 2 HRs that day. After the second one she said something along the lines of "I thought you said he wasn't good". I mean, I was right but it didn't seem like it in the moment.

The second half stats is what stands out to me. Kobe had a really good first half (26 points on 10-18) but they were down 14 because the rest of the team sucked. Then he just got really hot in the second half and kept shooting (27 points on 11-15 including 4-5 from 3 in the third). Then in the 4th, win secured, he went for 80. Lakers were only up 7 with 7 minutes left and Kobe was at 59. Bam had a ridiculous first quarter (31 on 10-16 including 5-8 from 3 and only 6-7 FTs). That didn’t carry over though and it seems like he just kept chucking. He was 3-8 in the 2nd and half his points were at the line. 4-11 in the third and 10 of 19 points at the line. 3-8 in the 4th and 14 of 21 points at the line. That he set the record for most FTA in a game and it wasn’t a Hack a Shaq situation is ridiculous. I’m sure plenty of the fouls were legit but nobody should be shooting 43 free throws in a game. All that being said, credit to him and 83 points is still nuts regardless of how it happens.

So there was a lot of talk if it was a good thing the EPL had 6 teams in the last 16. Well, Spurs will be gone, Chelsea and Man City would have to overturn 3 goal deficits and are likely gone, Newcastle has to at least get a draw at Barcelona and Liverpool has to beat Galatasaray at home. The only team I feel confident will advance is Arsenal, and they needed an incredibly soft penalty just to get a tie.
-
That was embarrassing, even by 2025-26 Spurs standards. I turned it off after 15 minutes and swapped to Barca-Newcastle. Also, for this flop, which was given as a foul and led to the fourth goal, Spurs deserve one free shot at Alvarez next game, with the max penalty being a yellow card. I'd be more annoyed but it was already 3-0 so it didn't matter at all.
-
Didn't think anyone was going to top Kobe and certainly didn't think it would be Bam. But I guess setting the record for most FT attempts in a game will help you do that. Since the 83-84 season, the record was 39 by Dwight Howard twice and there were only 7 instances of a guy shooting 30+ FTs in a game.
-
Good news! Two hand pushes in the back are no longer fouls!
-
Yes but in terms of being more appealing to the players union, if you told them total money spent on payroll will decrease, the top 5%-10% of players will see salaries decrease but the bottom 30% of players will see salaries increase, I’m assuming the players would be for that. I have no if it would actually play out like that though.
-
But wouldn't that mean the number of players who get better contracts inreases? It's not like the top teams can pay 50 different players. You only have so many spots. So if you make those 12 teams spend up to a salary floor, they're probably not giving one guy $50M per year just to get there. Which means they're going to have to pay a few guys more money. So as far as appealing to the players overall, wouldn't you be telling them that more of them are going to get better contracts because these cheap teams are going to have to spend.

Bodo/Glimt last 5 UCL games, they tied at Dortmund, best Man City at home, won at Atletico Madrid and beat Inter home and away.
-
Certainly seems like you care because you keep asking questions about it when people have been perfectly clear about where they stand on this.
-
I'll preface this by saying by no means do I think Spurs would have won or gotten a point out of either game but... If anyone can explain to me why this is not a foul: but this is a foul: That would be great. Because I don't see a difference between the two.
-
Not a hockey expert by any means but that was my initial reaction. Canada had a 5v3 for 90 seconds and couldn't score, multiple great chances elsewhere in the game. The 2nd and 3rd in particular they clearly dominated. On another day, we lose by 3-4 goals.
-
What’s the purpose in calling a penalty if a team challenges unsuccessfully? Is there no limit to how many challenges a team can make? Seems like you just give them one or two incorrect challenges and call it good.
-
I might just not fully understand curling strategy but I have no idea what we were going for on the last shot in the 10th end. Seemed inexcusable to let the Swiss get 3 and tie it.
-
Just watched a replay of the ending of US-Great Britain in women's curling. I saw exactly how we F'd it up and I still can't believe it happened. Up 1 with the hammer in the 10th and you give up 2. Amazing final shot by Great Britain but at the very least, we should have found a way to only give up 1. They likely have to win tomorrow to advance.
-
-
Pretty entertaining end to their match today too. They were up 7-5, seemed like they made a mistake that allowed Italy to get 3. But then Italy messed up and the US got 2 in the final end to win 9-8. They face Sweden in the final tomorrow.

Guess what an idiot with a sports betting app did this time?

When you're leading going into the week and have a realistic shot at 6 figures, it makes sense to be a bit disappointed with 25k. -
Because they picked a guy who was one of the worst QB's in the league this year (albeit, in his first year starting) over a guy who threw for 4000 yards each of the past two seasons and is only 28.
-
Yeah, that's a good one. I could see him getting it.

Pretty solid crockpotting by Seattle. Took a while to fully come together but at the end, we have a really, really nice New England blowout loss.
-
So Walker has to be MVP right? I mean, it's the Seattle defense but they don't give the MVP to an entire unit. Darnold was fine (19-38, 202, 1 TD, no turnovers). Leading receiver is 6-61 but no TDs. Kicker made 5 FGs but the longest one was 41 yards so it's not like he's drilling 55 yarders out there. Walker is at 157 total yards but no TDs.
-
Okay that should definitely do it.
