Ok. Last resort.

Don't suppose anyone has a spare ticket for Radiohead in London on Monday or Tuesday that I can buy? 🙏

An article on why there's clearly only one way to play overtime now with the new rules.

This is my best piece yet (I think). Check it out for free on Substack.

I just realised! Kyler Murray got put on IR a week before the new Call of Duty comes out.

Now it all makes sense.

Halfway through the season. Only one Division has 3 teams with 6+ wins each.

The NFC West. Competitive.

I wrote my first Substack article! Inspired by @dannyheifetz.bsky.social (and his incorrect recollection of Mario Kart colors), but also why looking at DVOA is super cool and will help you win fantasy football. Enjoy! substack.com/@mikescmike/...
Why Negative DVOA Will Help You Win Fantasy Matchups

NFL rule change for 2025! (#2)

Onside kicks can happen at any time when a team is losing. Last season they were limited to the 4th quarter.

They still have to be declared (boo!) but the kicking team can now stand a little further forward on the 35 yd line (about a yard closer than previously).

NFL rule change for 2025!

Regular season OT: Now BOTH teams have a chance to score in overtime. Previously OT ended if the first team with possession scored a TD.

This mirrors the change that was made to playoff OT last year, so now all OT allow both teams to have the ball.

LRZ has left the #NFL to resume his rugby career!

He has 55 days until domestic rugby starts up again and is looking to get ready for the new season.

The dream is over.

Got an email the other day from NFL UK & IRE saying there's still plenty of tickets available for the UK games.

Not surprised given the increased cost this year!

The near 100% price hike is absolutely appalling. I hope the empty seats serve as a lesson to the money grabbers, but I know it won't.

Aaron Rodgers goes to the Steelers! (Finally!)

It's a win-win for the Steelers.

If he's good. That's a win.

If he's bad, the Steelers have 12 picks in next year's draft (I think the most of any team), and a high first could see them amass a pick package to make a move on a promising rookie QB.

It's official!

NFL players can be part of flag football teams at the 2028 Olympics.

Feels like the US just locked up the first gold of the games 3 years in advance!

The more I think about Derek Carr retiring, the less I understand it, monetarily in 2025.

Carr stays = paid $40M guaranteed.

Carr cut (post June 1st) = paid $20M

Carr "retires" = paid $10M.

If injured why not stay and get paid $30M extra to rehab.

If he wants out, get cut for $10M more.
