Do the Chiefs get all the calls? My friends at @the-ringer.bsky.social asked me to investigate. In The Mahomes Era, KC is actually MORE penalized than their opponents by nearly 1,000 yards—but their tendency to draw certain penalties explains how we view them: www.theringer.com/2025/02/04/n...

Some day, the reckoning is coming for all of these pro sports leagues, their partnerships with sportsbooks and the gambling problem that is so obviously a volcano just waiting to erupt. Some day.

That toss to Worthy was the coolest play that actually didn’t end in a TD

This was a phenomenal read. You think things are bad now? Zitron points out here how it’s only going to get much, much worse.

Well it took 17 weeks, but opposing DCs have remembered how to render Sam Darnold completely ineffective.

Could the Mets sign Tanner Scott? Do they want to sign Alex Verdugo? @crschube.bsky.social and I discuss the latest Mets rumors and rehash the Pete Alonso market situation on the latest episode of Bleav in Mets: youtu.be/xxheBD1acA0

That Josh Jacobs stiff arm made me gasp out loud at the airport

Bringing back Sean Manaea is the kind of move we've been waiting for to bolster the Mets' rotation. If New York can somehow work things out with Roki Sasaki, my entire opinion of the pitching situation will be flipped (for the better!)

Am I crazy for saying I think Sam Darnold and the Vikings have to just figure something out? He and KOC have been a match made in heaven. That TD throw to JJ was absurd.

Every week, Bryce Young pulls me further into believing in him. We're getting to dangerous levels of Belief in Bryce.

Just checked on the Knicks -- Julius Randle and KAT really having a revenge-game-off, huh? Each one already over 20 points 😮‍💨

Troy Aikman said on the "Monday Night Football" broadcast that his "avatar" is "the minion." Which... I don't know what that means? His profile picture on multiple social media sites is just his face. But I also found this:

Loved the reveal that Matt LaFleur is 0-for-6 on challenges this year as he challenged a call which had a 0.0% chance of being overturned

Warriors-Mavericks is the perfect example of why, to me, the NBA is not fun to watch.

Running backs that are good in pass pro are so much fun to watch

I just saw a real take here on Al Gore’s Internet that “most of Juan Soto’s contract is deferred, actually, because it’s paid out over the 15 years rather than in a lump sum.”

I think the Niners pay Purdy and I get why but boy I’d like to see him have a good rain game if I’m spending that kinda dough

I just spent literal hours looking into the NFC West division race, and it's a DOOZY. All four teams are still in it, and there are situations in which each of the teams could win a four-way tiebreaker(!)

No, the Juan Soto signing was not a dream. Yes, the Mets still have work to do this offseason. @crschube.bsky.social and I broke down the Clay Holmes signing and what's next for the Mets: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzSX...
