Tuned in right at the beginning of the third set and was shocked to see that not only was Djokovic down 2-0 but that he’d won only 3 total games. However I’ve seen him (and Nadal when he still played) be down 2-0 and come back and win too often so I bet on Novak at +350. He then won the third set in a tiebreaker so I assume he’s going to win the match now.
I think I saw the stat correctly when they showed he’d won 20 of his previous 22 tiebreakers in majors before today, which is insane.
Even now if you ask me would I prefer the Cubs to have either
A. Not won the title in 2016
or
B. Won the title but had Chapman record the final out
I'd take option B and wouldn't think twice about it.
But man am I glad he didn't get the final out even though it made the night more stressful.
Successful is not the same as good. McCarthy is successful because he was lucky to go from Favre to Rodgers to Dak. I think most would agree that having 11 years of Rodgers and only making 1 SB and only 3 NFC title games is disappointing. Especially when LaFleur comes in, wins 13 straight games 3 straight years (McCarthy won 13 games once with Rodgers and twice total) and made back to back conf title games.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The Cowboys held on to Garrett for far too long and they're doing it again with McCarthy.
Nimmo and KB also didn’t have two awful years like Bellinger did in 2021 and 2022. The closest each came were in 2016 for Nimmo (80 PA as a rookie) and 2020 for KB (147 PAs in the weird Covid year). Bellinger had 350 and 550 PAs in his two bad years. There’s going to be some skepticism from teams because of that.
of course like you said, all it takes is one team to go above and beyond.
Strictly regarding the tweet since you didn't mention this part, but it's tough to feel bad for the Rams on a missed holding/PI call when they literally made the Super Bowl due to one of the worst missed PI calls in history.
I mean, yesterday was a 4-5 game which would have happened anyway. And today while yes, GB doesn’t get in with a 12 team field, they’re the team winning. It’s not like the 2 seed is demolishing the 7.
Correct. With a win they win the division. With a loss, they get in as the 7 seed (and would rematch Miami) if Tennessee beats Jacksonville and are out if Jacksonville wins that game.
Pittsburgh is in if either the Bills or Jags lose.
Pretty wild that if Buffalo beats Miami they’re the 2 seed but if they lose and Pittsburgh wins (and Hou-Ind doesn’t end in a tie), they’re out altogether. Usually these win and you get a home game, lose and you’re maybe out involves a team going for the 4 seed.
