Proposed NFL rule change from the fiancée that we workshopped. The NFL needs their own version of an And 1. If the ball carrier/receiver is fouled directly on a play where they score the ball (ie a DPI, face mask, etc) their team gets an automatic 2 point conversion on the score.

I just want a place to talk sports where the most common response to @minakimes.bsky.social is “you’re wrong that’s too much Cover 3” and not “you’re a DEI hire and women don’t know ball.”
Discuss amongst yourselves... www.natesilver.net/p/what-is-bl...
What is Blueskyism?
And why is it so toxic for political persuasion?

Man Schefter’s hoodie over button down and under the jacket is a rough look. I don’t even know if I see the initial vision. When has a hoodie under the suit jacket ever looked cool. I hope the men’s wear guy see’s this atrocity.

@dannyheifetz.bsky.social I lived 2 minutes from the Henrico and Goochland border my whole life, and for 21 years never put together that it is a ridiculous name until I brought my girlfriend home from college and she pointed out that my father is from the land of the Gooch.

Norway defeated England in a World Cup qualifier in Oslo on September 9, 1981. Which led to this—the greatest call in sports broadcasting history.

This morning my girlfriend woke me up by telling me about the AD Luka trade and in my sleepy state I told her to stop lying and all of the reasons that would never happen. It wasn’t until she put the breaking news article in front of my face that I popped up in bed shocked.

Man, Caleb has zero touch on the move. He got a bunch of Rodgers comps in the draft process; but what made Rodgers so good in his prime was his touch on the move.
