I just saw someone claim she was drunk, peed on the carpet, and hit him in the face, and wouldn’t leave his room.

I haven’t read that in a reliable source, but even if it’s true, I feel pretty confident that a professional athlete can handle a drunken woman without kicking her.

It just seems like for every step forward we take as a society, we also roll 1000 feet off the side of a cliff.

Yep.

So…law enforcement and the NFL investigated this, and nobody who knew about the video bothered to inform the Chiefs until 8 months later. I mean…that’s what you have to believe in order to come out and praise the Chiefs right now.

That is so stupid I have no words.

Rams off the bye…50 points. Lions…20 or fewer.

They knew video evidence existed. They all knew. There is no WAY that they didn’t know.

There is no WAY that this video changes the NFL’s or the Chiefs understanding of what happened, and for them to imply that Hunt denied doing it and had the benefit of the doubt until today is Grade A mercenary BullShit.

They released Hunt because all of us now know of the existence of this video.

So…just for emphasis…they did not have a moral conscience about this beating until society found out about it.

I am disgusted, though in no way surprised, by the mercenary amorality of rich sons of bitches. Fuck them.

Worked for me, in the end. I will take it.

Aaron Rodgers is now 0-37 when trailing by more than one point in the 4th quarter to a team with a winning record. That’s a real stat. #GBvsMIN #SNF #Packers #Vikings

What?

Say that again.

Yeah it’s not true though. Seen that stat before, it circulates. But this year in their opening game GB came from behind to beat the Bears, who have a winning record.

The old stat was that it was 35 games, but that was before this year.

I don;t know why whoever wrote that forgot about the Chicago game.

…

So…what are you saying? That Rodgers is 1-37 when trailing in the 4th by 2 or more points to a team with a winning record?

That’s…that’s…that’s what I’d expect from…from Tony Banks. From Colt McCoy. From JaMarcus Russell. I have a hard time believing this.

I saw that game.

I feel privileged. That was a helluva thing. And I’m proud it was a Ram who did it.

Whatagame.

His clumsiness and ignorance certainly drew attention in this case to the fact that the US does not care about the murder of a journalist when there is money at stake.

But…you know…it has been pretty obvious to many of us long before now. I’m not sure there is a silver lining here. The people who can connect dots already have. They aren’t going to learn that skill now, even with the blatant ham-fisted ramblings of the misfit in chief.

I loved the “Aaron Donald is a goddamned cheat code” line.

Also…”I’m watching Madden Night Football…LOL.”

And…”Damn. What sorcery is this?”

That was as good a collection of comments as I’ve seen compiled.

Props to Hacksaw for that.

Yeah, Kap has been deliberately screwed. There is no question about it.

Washington is going with Colt McCoy? And bringing in Mark Sanchez?

There is no way

I think most analysis is superficial, and tends towards cliche. And some analysis tries to stand out from the pack by saying something unconventional. Loudly, if possible. This argument that the Chiefs are better seems to be based mostly on the fact that the Chiefs had 5 TOs and that is a high water mark that ordinarily won’t happen, and therefore the Chiefs would have won without that anomaly occurring.

TOs are big. They are momentum changers, and often result in good field position. In this case, two of the TOs were directly converted to points by rEbuke’em.

But turnovers are not in and of themselves points. They are turnovers. Punts are turnovers, too. Missed FGs are turnovers, and failed 4th down plays are turnovers. Throw all these into a brand new category we can call “Stops.”

The Chiefs had the ball 8 times that they did not score if you add the 3 punts to the 5 TOs. The Rams had 4 punts and 2 TOs for a total of 6 Stops (not counting the kneeldowns at the half and end of game which shouldn’t count…they weren’t Stops).

So basically what I’m arguing is that a deflected pass on 3rd down, or a hurry that creates a bad throw, or a sack on 3rd down, are all almost as good as an INT or Fumble. It’s basically the same principle that had Donald rated very highly by PFF the first four weeks of the season even though he didn’t record a single sack. Turnovers are striking, and perhaps psychologically important, but…a Stop is a Stop.

I don’t think it makes any sense to conclude the Chiefs are better because of the 5 TO anomaly that will not happen if they meet again in the Super Bowl.

I don’t know how one concludes anything from that game other than that the two teams are evenly matched, and the outcome is pretty much a tossup.

The analysts are going to talk because that’s their job. And that means their job is to say things that are interesting, and it’s always more interesting to take an unconventional position than a conventional position. I mean…do they REALLY believe that the Chiefs proved they are the better team? I mean…REALLY?

Usually in November we are killing time waiting for FA and the draft.

Now we are killing time waiting for the playoffs.

This way is better.
