Ja'Marr Chase working out pretty well so far.

Probably just jinxed him.

2-0 Raiders
2-1 Bengals
1-2 Chiefs
3-0 Panthers

Who knew?

I wonder if Brady would retire if he had a perfect year?

Also, that Ravens game, holy fuck

Yet somehow as i watched it, i knew Detroit was going to blow it.

And poor Justin Fields got a baptism by fire today. Sacked 9 times..

Jesus is, of course, the team I played, and we have 0 players tonight.

This week: 4th worst (out of 12) in points. My opponent? 3rd worst.

Saw that story yesterday. Guy's a complete idiot and it should be a season ban for what he did.

The issue is that there was no definitive angle that showed a TD. Dak was blocked from every angle but one, and that angle had him reaching, but unsure where he was due to him being invisible every where else.

It probably was a TD, but I can see why they said what they said.

I thought it was an obvious TD live, but apparently the side judges couldn't see.

Given the importance of the goal line, it seems odd that there aren't cameras positioned above it in the stadium.

You know what's really weird? There's an RFID chip inside the football that tells the NFL where it is 25 times a second, but they don't use that to tell.

What's weird is how nobody in the media has asked why the NFL doesn't use it.

TO be fair, the NY Times did, 4 years ago, and the NFL said it wasn't precise enough.

They are accurate to within six inches of the ball, which wouldn’t help when the most contentious calls come down to much smaller distances.

Which feels like it might have been enough on that TD call, imho.
Ah...

But the N.F.L. has challenges other sports don’t face. A Hawk-Eye spokesman told ESPN in 2015 that the cluster of players around first-down and goal-line plays could make its system useless because 25 percent of the ball must be clearly visible for it to work. Hawk-Eye did not respond to a message seeking comment.

But, as long as the Hawk-Eye sensors were above the play, they would have worked for the Dallas call, since it was uncovered from the top.

Also, the article's 4 years old, I don't doubt they could be a little more accurate by now.

Super Bowl halftime show gets big

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar will perform for the first time onstage together at the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Interesting. Snoop and Em have a current feud.

"We good" - Jan 2021

I dunno, had to google it.

Rap beefs are so strange.

Snoop not thinking Em is one of the 10 best rappers of all time is pretty insane too. Makes me think there's racism behind it.

Who expected the Bengals-Jags game to be so good?

This video is cool because of:

Chase's comment to BB.

#55 on the Eagles

#94 on the Dolphins

His attitude is kinda awesome.

As a kid I always felt these people should hate each other! MORTAL ENEMIES! I didn't understand how they could basically be friends outside the game.
