Im doing an american football crash course with pizza and alcohol tomorrow for my Japanese coworkers. Im limited in games from the last week I can show them, so im going with Ravens/Browns as its kind of close for the first half and then becomes a points bonanza. I feel like thats a good way to show how it all works.

Thoughts?

Chiefs Lions is kinda fun if you can get that one. Slowish start to explain some basics, full clownball in the third quarter so they get a taste of that, then an exciting finish.

For added effect, big up the Lions so they can root for them only to watch the crushing failure of the 4th quarter, for maximum Lions experience.

Plenty of chances to whine about the refs too, which is part of the experience.

It is a very odd feeling to be on the right (wrong) side of these complaints by the way.

Chris Borland

Glen Coffee too a while before that.

He might have been crazy though, or just crazy on religion, I didn't keep up with the story.

e: looked him up, he tried to come back and got cut before the season, now he's apparently on Nick Saban's staff at Bama. Or was in 2017 at least.

Or the lack of guaranteed contracts

I remember a few baseball players who were stars but not absolutely top of the game guys sitting out for over a year with concussions. Hockey too although that was Crosby who was like the biggest star they had.

What's the longest anyone who didn't retire because of it sat out with concussion symptoms in the NFL?

I mean you know Gordon or Ekeler is gonna go down this week

I'd tell you to give up on the team that left you but I know you won't because of Rivers reasons. I also think you're being sent a message in some fashion over and over again and it's just going to get worse from here on out.

This was seriously beautiful even if it made me do the surrender cobra watching the game. There's a better view from behind Stafford out there somewhere where you can see exactly how tight the window was.

e: oops it's probably in there, I just glanced at the first few seconds.

Im suddenly dissapointed I didnt get to live in the universe where Barry Sanders is like a foot taller and just obliterates defenders to their composite atoms inside the paint.

He was such a ripped little dude.

So Diggs is on a pretty nice 5/$55m deal going forward and is in his year 26 season. He’s worth at least a 1st rounder in trade, right?

The Chiefs have absolutely no real need of him and I'd be ok with doing this.

Why? If his spleen is fine, and his conditioning is fine, why wait? From all accounts he's been totally normal for over a week and had a pretty mild case symptoms wise. Granted Gase hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt for his decision making, but if the doctors say he's good to go, let him play.

General proximity to the Mets has me sure that whatever the wrong decision is the Jets doctors will make it.

You can't trust doctors remotely affiliated with an NFL team

I mean they probably do want to avoid immediate death.

They just don't care if you die 5 years later from a decision they made today.

10 early games tomorrow. 2 late games.

gently caress the nfl.

They do that to try to create marquee matchups or something and it's always like the Cowboys playing the Giants in the afternoon and it has sucked for sooooooo long.

I typed that before I looked at the schedule and of course the Cowboys are one of those games tomorrow. I mean that's actually a half decent matchup with the Packers but there are years and years full of weeks where that wasn't the case.

Huh, Jonathan Martin avoided jail time for that instagram post where he threatened to kill a bunch of people including Richie Incognito partially because Incognito went to bat for him.

The Chiefs just put up the worst offensive performance of Mahomes's career and he still threw for 312 yards, 1 TD, no INT.

Jags last year was the worst pretty easily, it's just easy to forget because Bortles threw every interception that day. And that was still 313 with 2 picks.

e: oops misread you, that was Mahomes personal worst

What would the draft position tie breaker be between two 0-15-1 teams that tied 0-0 in their matchup? :thunk:

Worst strength of schedule wins (er, loses, er, gets the higher pick), if there's a tie there I think it's a coin flip.
