Sure Justin Herbert only has 80 yards passing and his team is down 30 to the Jags, but did you see how pretty some of his incomplete passes were.

Understand that the whole league is rooting for the Broncos rights now
Then you have the Denver Broncos who have been winning in spectacular fashion (sometimes spectacularly bad) with the league rooting for them to continue the Chiefs humiliation.

South Africa spirited Italy 32-14 on Saturday, coming out on top despite having to play a huge chunk of the match a man down just as they did in last weekend's win over France.

South Africa defy early red card to beat spirited Italy
Marco van Staden, Morne van den Berg, Grant Williams and Ethan Hooker scored the tries with Handre Pollard kicking the rest of the Springboks’ points.

110 minutes of South Africa playing with 14 men:
Total score: 51-17 to the Springboks.
Only one try conceded.
They have somehow also scored 7 tries with a one man disadvantage.
V Italy today they only missed 8 tackles.
An absolutely generational side, it’s a privilege to watch them.

The Springboks have played approximately 70 minutes with 14 men the last two tests and have conceded 6 (SIX) points while scoring 4 tries and 29 points.

Bafana at 15:00 and the Springboks at 14:50.
When national teams share a window, it becomes a quiet test of identity.
What we watch, what we prioritize, and what we think represents us.

The NBA shouldn't panic. If the audience is willing to go through trial and error, then so should the NBA.
I love the new NBA all star format. And if it sucks, try again but anything is better than the current one
