Midway through the second half, I was convinced it was going to be one of those games where a team dominates but can't find the back of the net. Fabianski was great until he didn't catch the corner and instead punched it, which led to the first. This Spurs team is a lot of fun. Now tied with Leicester for most goals scored (though City is 1 back with a game in hand) and they've allowed 5 fewer than any other team. Massive week though with at West Ham and home to Arsenal.

New record for 3's in a season and tied the record for 3's in a game. It's his third game in the last month with 10+ 3's in a game. JR Smith (3) and Klay (2) are the only other players with at least 10 3's in a game more than once in their careers. There have been 28 instances of a player hitting 10+ 3's in a game and Steph has 5 of them.

Liverpool-ManU and Tottenham-Dortmund in the Europa Round of 16.

Steph's record for 3-pointers in a season is 286. After hitting 10 more tonight, he's got 276 on the season. The Warriors have played only 57 games this year. So he's about to break the record with more than 1/4 of the season left. He's on pace for 401 3-pointers this year. To put that in perspective, the equivalent in baseball would have been for McGwire to hit 86 home runs in 1998, or for Bonds to hit 98 in 2001.

3-1 today for ManU right now so they're up 4-3 on aggregate. Still a terrible look against a team that hadn't played a competitive match since their last Europa group stage game in December before the first leg of this tie.

SPORTS BONER ALERT No Arrieta because of the DH. Zobrist will be in there at 2B.

[tweet] [/tweet] Arizona is paying Greinke $1M more this year than it's next six highest paid players will make combined.

I'm in.

Yeah, that Feinstein article was great and FJM was the first thing I thought of as well. I really liked this line: Sorry John, but none of them do that. I also loved the few instances (like the one above) of him putting a few words in all caps for emphasis.

City against the current top-8: 1W, 3T, 6L. The one win was home to Southampton. They've now lost at home to Leicester, Spurs, West Ham and Liverpool.
-
What a day. I was dreaming of a win but hoping for a tie. Outside of Arsenal not getting that goal at the end, this couldn't have been a better weekend. Spurs now 10 points clear of ManU.
-
I thought Vardys was worse than Mahrez. Looked was more like Mahrez dove to me. Neither one was clear cut so giving them one of the two seems fair to me.
-
And that was a dumb foul at the end. No Arsenal player was getting to that header, the Leicester player wasn't going to beat Monreal to the ball. And it cost them the game. So basically a couple dumb fouls cost them the game.
-
Second yellow was deserved. The first one seemed a bit harsh but the announcers made it sound like he had a few fouls and it was for accumulation (I didn't watch the whole thing). The second one Giroud is past him and Simpson just grabs him without trying to make a play on the ball with the intention of stopping play. Seemed like a pretty clear yellow to me and Simpson should be smarter than that. You're already on a yellow so you probably shouldn't pull another dude down without even trying to play the ball. Was really hoping that thing would end in a draw. Oh well. For sure Spurs won't drop points on Leicester and ManU.
-
It makes me feel much better about tomorrow's game knowing that Spurs won't drop any points on 5th because ManU couldn't beat Sunderland.
-
Surprised it's not in the 91-93 range. Not sure what Vegas was last year but the Nationals were 93.5 online and the Dodgers were 92.5.

I started reading Das Reboot and one bit was about Thomas Muller. Apparently, the one year Jurgen was the Bayern coach, he didn't like Muller, who was only 19. Jurgen only gave him 5 appearances with the top club and Muller spent the whole year with the reserve team. Muller said that Jurgen told him he could look for a transfer and that he had no place in the squad. He probably would have left but somebody else vetoed that. Van Gaal came in the next year, played Muller and he scored 19 goals each of the next two years. I'm sure Jurgen wasn't the only one to overlook Muller but it's still funny to think that Jurgen had no use for a guy who would have 10 World Cup goals before he turned 25.

Football was played different 40+ years ago? No way! Dolphins had the best defense and great power run game. They made games short and limited the number of possessions as well as limiting risk as much as possible. That was Shula's game plan. They ran the ball 50 times in each Super bowl and had leads from start to finish. I'm well aware that football was played differently 40 years ago. In Super Bowl I, the Packers led the whole way with the exception of a few minutes when they were tied. Bart Starr threw 23 passes in that game. They led the whole way the next year also and Starr threw 24 passes. He threw for over 200 yards in each game. The two Griese games were the two fewest attempts by a Super Bowl winning QB who played the whole game (Unitas had 9 but he got hurt and didn't play the whole game). There are only two instances of a QB throwing less than 18 passes in a Super Bowl win and it took Griese two games to reach that.
-
Was looking up how Manning's Super Bowl performance compared to other QB's who won the Super Bowl. In Miami's back-to-back Super Bowls, Bob Griese was the only QB to throw a pass for Miami. In the two games combined, Griese went 14-18 for 161 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
-
Denver won that game because of their defense and because Carolina's receivers weren't very good, both in terms of not being able to get open and not being able to catch the ball. Cam didn't have a ton of time back there but there's not much he can do if nobody is open. Cam's numbers would have looked better if he had some decent receivers. Everyone wondered if that was going to bite them at some point in the playoffs and it did today.
-
Oh well. Not going to happen.
-
Denver is 9 minutes away from winning the Super Bowl without scoring an offensive TD.
-
At Arsenal next Sunday too. Could potentially be a death blow to them. Mahrez cost them £400,000, do you sell high high or lock him long term? Gotta keep him, right? They make a decent champions league showing and he pays for himself. Plus with all the TV money coming into the league next year, it will probably take a huge offer to get him away.
-
So Leicester goes @Spurs, @Villa, vs Stoke, vs Liverpool and @City and the one team they drop points to was Villa. Plus they tied Bournemouth right before that also.

A .319 BABIP isn't ridiculous, which is what he had from 05-07 with the Cubs.
