  1. Stay on script!! As a team, NE regularly shut out Revis. The Bills, as a team, he shut down more than any other in the league he played against.
  2. gotta be tough sitting on $270 million and when in your backyard, you can only throw left handed. You can just chop off my arm for 100 million. But yes, shoulder replacement should fix him up nicely.
  3. Over a West Ham v. Wolverton match?
  4. let's put you down for 1 jersey! Have you watched a Super Bowl in the last 32 years?
  5. all the Bills "J's" are now part of my suppressed memory...
  6. is it because professional soccer is so popular in the US?
  7. Johnson had 3 solid years in the middle of an otherwise unremarkable career. Fell off a very steep cliff after 2012. Even in those 3 years his catch % was only 56. Definitely TBD myth making here...
  8. on the Chiefs he did have 172 and 150 yards two playoff games.
  9. So Josh Allen is the best QB? phew, lol. I appreciate the work done here. Josh had a better O-line play this year, but as far as "sack discipline"--he was far and away the best at avoiding sacks--mainly because of his legs and savvy. His sack% is a half of Mahomes's and about 1/3 of Burrows. Mahomes is an elite scrambler though. Burrow, not as much. Jaden Daniels will be a superstar. Caleb Williams isn't long for this league. He will be in the Justin Fields pipeline to journeyman soon. The Bears draft Fields, after his rookie season the Bears ownership dumps the GM. Hire Poles. Picks Williams. Commanders ownership dumps GM and hire Peters. He takes Daniels. Which team had 100 year old owner? lol. imagine being a Bears fan. No better than Cleveland. "Slaughterhouse of Dreams"...
  10. he could be in HOF: 2nd team. lol. Basketball HOF is open admission at this point.
  11. My son and I were at that nut punch game. So stupid. I would have tried to trade his selfish azz after that. Would have won the Finals they won without him. Kerr was as integral to the Bulls dynasty. One of the best 3 point shooters of his day. 6th MOTY twice. Championship winning shot '97. Played all 82 games 4 of 5 seasons with the Bulls. 3 rings. He's not getting in.
  12. I respect your opinion. But given the low success rate of the 3 pointer (38% of shots taken this season by all teams were 3's and only 36% of those were successful) these guys don't defend the arc like you think--why would they? With the way guys kick out and get cheap 3 free throws or 4 point plays...why would they. Sure the might guard the best 3 point shooters, but in the history of the 3 point shot, only 5 players have shot over .500. There's a bunch of guys with over 400 attempts who have made less 1/3 of them. Why step up on them? Fair better value play is get in the lane for the defensive rebound. And this is what you see--as I showed above, offensive rebounds are up and defensive rebs up. This is all easily seen watching the game. The 3 point shot has relaxed, not increased defensive requirements. Indy could have simply watched the Thunder chuck up another 30 3's and still won, given how badly they were missing. Alos, Free Throw attempts have dropped by almost 27% since the mid 80's----it's not the refs are "just letting them play", it's that there's much less tough D in the paint. Guy drive to the hoop unmolested. I understand everyone wants to draw a straight line from "kids play more, training is better", etc. to "the league has more talent top to bottom today". But the data (and observation) don't support this conclusion.
  13. My point that in Kerr's era, Green doesn't get in. The bar is lower. Green played on a dynasty, that's the most powerful item on his CV. Solid defender. But the Warriors win all those rings with a lesser defender in his spot. As for a facilitator, if he had his 5.6 assists, 2.3 TOs, and 8.9 points on the Knicks, Pelicans, Jazz, etc, he's not a HOFer. If almost 40% of the shots your opponent is taking are 3's, there's really not much defense to be played. OKC was trounced in game 6 not because of a suffocating Indy Defense. It's because they made 27% of their 30 3 pointers. That 91 points despite 30 3 point shots. Unwatchable--how can you conclude you are watching a much higher skill level?? Teams take twice as many 3 pointer than they did even 17-18 years ago--but they are no better at it. Transition game is cross half court, pull up and launch a 3. So Offensive rebounds are down. There's not the post up inside game anymore, and if guys drive to the basket, then offense do so with impunity as there is little physical enforcement in the lane--fouls called are down 35% from the Celts/Lakers heyday (yet the flops and whining for calls are at an all time high). All this science and training and youth game playing...and you still have a 5 team division without a winning record. An higher overall skill level of player distributed around the league with mostly similar budgets, this should not happen. 5 teams with less than 25 wins. In 1985, there was 1. 1995 there were 4. Given an overall significant increase in size, speed and skill, shouldn't the wins be more evenly distributed, i.e. fewer awful teams? All boats lifted?
  14. now it's time to invest in carwashes, a branded BBQ sauce and a restaurant named after himself!
