The writers seem to be ignoring week 1 call backs this year. The veteran Ravens beat up on the upstart Texans week 1 in Baltimore. The divisional round had those same Texans, strengthened over CJ Stroud's hero's journey rookie year, returning to Baltimore to avenge their inaugural defeat. They still got pasted.

If anybody has the narrative juice it's the blue collar cast off Lions beating two supposed elite juggernauts in SF and KC/BAL in route to their first ever Championship. Now that's a sports doc in the making.

Personally, I think it's great writing then the good guys get smashed and destroyed unambiguously.

News: Buffalo choked against KC, again.

Views: Wide Right 2.0 is a net good because it saved us the embarrassment of seeing the Buffalo defense let KC march straight down the field in approximately 41 seconds in OT.

Bad, very bad!

quote:

Quarterback Bobby Layne had been lost for the season two weeks earlier,[6] and backup Tobin Rote led the Lions' rally, scoring 24 unanswered points in the second half to win, 31–27.

Tobin Rote. e: Tobin Cornelius Rote

Teddy Bridgewater would be a suitable name to replicate this. Hendon Hooker would be even better for future generations looking up really old stuff.

Pro wrestling when it was real drew crowds of hundreds of people. Fake pro wrestling draws tens of thousands. Relatively minor edits to NFL games will produce the winner that the marketplace desires. Why do you hate capitalism?

Vince tried to take the business lessons he learned from pro wrestling to do football but failed spectacularly. which is a shame bc i really want players to have entrance music and finishing moves

I think KC will win because:

It is more likely that Lamar will poo poo the bed than Mahomes based on their history.
It is more likely that Mahomes will ball out than Lamar based on their history.

Last time I was in Baltimore, my buddy took me on a walk along the inner harbor past the Johns Hopkins business school, and then we found a nice bar and watched Manchester United lose. The waterfront is a little sterile, but the pub was cool, and overall it seemed like a pretty alright place. Then we walked back a few blocks inland through a project that they’re rebuilding because the old one got so rotten it had to be condemned, and a squatter in an abandoned school building emptied his pissbucket while we were passing by. In conclusion, Baltimore is a land of contrasts.

Warren Sharp is talking as if you’d expect every ref to give the home team a roughly 50:50 record against the spread. Statistically, though, you should actually expect refs to fall into a binomial distribution: if every game is decided by flipping a perfectly fair coin (and remember that we’re talking about the spread here, so 50% should be about right), random chance means that almost certainly there will be some refs who happen to preside over a lot of home-team wins and others who preside over a lot of home-team losses. The Twitter thread says that the observed distribution is very plausible for a binomial process and the ref in question is not a significant outlier.

One of the throw back weekends for some kinda anniversary the refs iirc were wearing AFL throw backs. Pats were in their originals and iirc the Titans were in maybe their old oilers ones.
