This year is making a serious case for more “flexible scheduling” or whatever it’s called. Currently the NFL can only do this for the Sunday night game and only do it 4x a season.
The way this season is going they are gonna want to be able to do it every week after week 2 and even be able to change who plays Thursday + Monday night lol
Snoozer is an understatement. It was absolute garbage. Russell Wilson has the worst contract in the league, I’m saying it now.
Only highlights were watching the Denver fans leave before OT even started, Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit getting progressively more disgusted with it, and Richard Sherman losing his mind post game
I actually enjoy NFL regular season ties when the game is good. This was NOT that though.
I’m all for defensive teams, but give me a couple of touch downs!!! The rules have been changed over the years so that it’s impossible for the D to be as effective as they used to be (85 Bears etc).
I had to take a 3 day break from any type of sports to process what happened to the Blue Jays on Saturday. I witnessed what I would call a historic collapse of epic proportion.
Well, it’s opening night tonight and we play the Leafs. Against my better judgment, since we’re supposed to lose this year, tonight will be the only game I’ll actively cheer for a win. Just to embarrass the Laffs.
Jonathan Drouin will be a healthy scratch though. Feels like his time in Montreal is all but over. He’s either getting traded or just let his contract expire.
Michigan beat #10 Penn State in their first real test of the season.
Both teams came in undefeated for the first time since 1997 (when a scrawny unknown kid named Tom Brady was Michigan’s back-up quarterback). Michigan won by 24 and it wasn’t even that close. Michigan ran the ball and dominated the line on both sides of the ball. Penn State’s two touchdowns came on an interception and a fluke 60-yard run by the quarterback (on what was admittedly one of the best fake handoffs I’ve ever seen).
Michigan State’s next week. They suck this year, but they’re always dangerous.
Thanks to NBC’s deal with Notre Dame and my fortuitously subscribing to Peacock at the right time, I’m getting the rare chance to stream this weekend’s Michigan hockey games. (ND hockey plays in the Big 10, so they’re conference games.)
I have to put up with the homer announcers, but Michigan’s four unanswered goals in the 2nd are making them a lot more tolerable. They have a whole mess of talented freshman this year and, at least in Game 1, they’re looking really good.
Michigan survived a scare from Illinois. After a couple of unanswered touchdowns, the Illini were up 17-10 going into the 4th. But thanks to a big 4th down conversion and a key pass interference call in the last minute, they managed to eke out a 19-17 win.
Michigan had a couple of injuries and Illinois is having one of their better seasons, but I think Michigan got caught looking ahead to next week’s Ohio State game.
I had to watch the recording a day late bc of work but the final formula one gran prix was very exciting. Ferrari managed to stay ahead of Mercedes for 2nd place and Leclerc managed to stay ahead of Checo Perez for 2nd place in the drivers standings, although that battle came down to the final lap with Leclerc ahead by 15 seconds or so with 17 laps left. Checo 2 stopped and Leclerc only stopped once so the gap was coming down and the race finished with Leclerc only 1.3 seconds ahead at the chequered flag. Ferrari made a sound strategy call for once.
104 days until the Bahrain Gran Prix to start the 2023 season. I’m not counting down or anything though (-; Perhaps Ferrari can finally do it next year.
Undefeated Michigan beat a scrappy, giant-killing Purdue team in the Big Ten Championship game to win their second B1G title in a row.
They’re pretty much a lock to be the #2 seed in the Playoff. With TCU and USC losing their conference championship games today, it’ll be interesting to see who the bottom two teams will be. There’s a pretty good chance one of them will be Ohio State, so the big question is if the Committee will put them against #1 Georgia or set up the epic rematch with Michigan.
And the matchups are #1 Georgia vs #4 Ohio State and #2 Michigan vs #3 TCU.
It’s probably the best-case scenario for Michigan. Beating a heated rival twice in one season is a tall order for anyone and Michigan (and the Big Ten) has a history of getting run over by the SEC, including against Georgia in the semi-final last year.
TCU won’t be easy, especially without Michigan’s Heisman-candidate running back (knee surgery), but this is the best Michigan team I’ve seen in a long time and they’ve been talking a lot about how beating Ohio State and winning the Big Ten isn’t enough.
Now comes the four-week wait until they actually play the game.
I stayed up until 1:15 AM to watch the Habs blow a 4-0 lead to Vancouver to make it 5-4, then score two goals to make it 6-5, then get taken to overtime where we lost 7-6. This team is real(ly bad)
