The NFL needs to create an embellishment penalty like the NHL has to stop the ridiculous things that Patrick Mahomes does to try to draw penalties.

Oh come ON now. This new JWST image is just ASTOUNDING.

I feel like I’m falling looking into it, and that I would fall forever, and that I would enjoy it.

Brandon Aubrey just set a record with his second successful field goal of 58+ yards. It’s the fourth time in NFL history that a kicker has converted two 58+ yard FGs in a game (Aubrey has one of those) but it is the first time a kicker has made two in a single half.

I love figure No. 12. Covering the mouth to show "Communicating," which back then was a 15-yard penalty. (It was illegal for coaches to call in plays from the sideline.) bsky.app/profile/fbar...
The military salute was the original signal for unnecessary roughness. See #2.

221 coaches have had 20+ career games decided by 7 points or fewer. Matt Eberflus' .227 win percentage in those games (5-17) ranks 221st

There is no better way to watch Monday Night Football than with the ManningCast. Bill Belichick's first half insights alone are worth it. Eli and Peyton have plenty of those as well, and there is always at least one laugh out loud moment per game.
Figured we needed a quarter-zip presence on this app.
We’ll see ya tonight for the ManningCast!
