    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.

    So does McCarthy get fired tonight or does Jerry Jones wait until tomorrow to announce it?

    Also he stole Jack Grealish's haircut.
  4. soccer10k
    This is pretty wild.
  5. soccer10k
    Saban reportedly retiring.

    Much like the Bama game, I think Michigan was the better team but Washington definitely had some chances. They just didn't play well enough.
  7. soccer10k
    Huge TD for Wash since they get the ball in the 3rd.
  8. soccer10k
    Washington has no chance against the run. They’re in a bad spot right now.
  9. soccer10k
    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.
  10. soccer10k
    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.

    Iowa won 4 games this year where they scored 15 points or less. I’d love to know if that’s happened at any point in the past few decades.
  12. soccer10k
    Two games that both came down to the final play. Can't ask for much more than that.
  13. soccer10k
    I look at it more that Alabama lost because Milroe just isn't very good throwing the ball and that really limits what you can do as an offense.
  14. soccer10k
    I was thinking that’s a pretty crazy non-conference schedule but then when I looked up the schedule I realized Wash is a Big 10 game next year.
  15. soccer10k
    No idea how Jota survives this horrific challenge from the goalkeeper. True credit to him for continuing to play on after this. I get that while yes, there was contact from the GKer on Jota and that because it was rule a PK on the field, it's not a clear and obvious error. But this being a PK is so stupid. Jota didn't need to go down. He wasn't knocked off balance and he wasn't impeded. He got lightly grazed, took another step and then fell. If soccer rules made sense, this would be a yellow for diving.

    Also boy did they get lucky that the punt returner didn’t knock that ball a couple yards further back. Wonder if UMFan survived that one.
  17. soccer10k
    Great game. Though Michigan was done when they recovered that fumble, missed the FG and then Bama went up 7. Just didn’t think their offense would move it down the field for a TD.
  18. soccer10k
    Obviously I think most people would prefer it to be 34-31 right now but any sort of close game is fine by me. We've had too many blowouts over the years in these semifinal games for me to be too picky.
  19. soccer10k
    It's a perfect comparison because, just like FSU, Texas A&M was also playing one of the best couple teams in college football that had won 29 straight games before losing in it's conference title game. Oh wait, they played a team that lost at home to South Alabama 33-7 and at UCF 45-3 (both of those teams were 6-6 before the bowls).

    Also Ohtani is pretty unique in terms of how much money he makes from endorsements. So he can take $2M per year in salary from the Dodgers because he’s getting paid superstar money in endorsements.
  21. soccer10k
    I mean if we're talking baseball, the 2016 Cubs probably qualified. Had a ton of young talent, won 97 games in 2015, destroyed the league in August and Sept, went out and signed Heyward (I know it didn't work out but he was the most sought after position player FA), Zobrist and Lackey (3 of the top 18 in terms of FA dollars signed for that offseason) plus brought back Fowler. That's after signing one of the top-2 most sought after FA pitchers (Lester) the year before.
  22. soccer10k
    Jorginho does a similar run up, though he usually pauses right before kicking to get the GKer to give away which way he’s going to dive.
  23. soccer10k
    Good group of ties minus Man City against Copenhagen.
  24. soccer10k
    Yep! With West Ham and Villa on deck, ManU has a couple good chances to get him canned. In general, I do agree with you. But sometimes whoever makes the decision does need a really bad result (or a string of bad results) to push them to make the move. I think that's something most people experience at some point in their life, like ending a relationship or changing jobs. It's sort of a final straw type of thing.
  25. soccer10k
    Yeah, the obvious dives they do give cards for it. Bissouma got sent off earlier this year for a second yellow on an awful dive. The ref just needs to be certain it was a dive and since yellow card offenses aren't reviewed, a lot of dives don't get punished.
