nobody

He's had too many jabs. He'll die during the game and we'll have Taylor weeping over his lifeless body.

I assume this some spoof of another thread, or are you really that bad at driving?

I'm rooting for Taylor to get her first super bowl ring. I think those kids are going to make it.

Unless it says what we want it to say, of course.

The only thing studies are good for is providing examples of faulty studies

Another worthless study.

Not really the max. He stole thousands of returns and only got charged for one of them. 5 years though seems about right to me. This whole undermining democracy angle the judge is taking it too far though.

Man, people really believe he wasn't fixing games. There was a giant ESPN piece where the guy he was working with described it. I'll probably never understand people's unwillingness to acknowledge the obvious.

This is a bizarre conversation. An NBA ref went to jail for fixing games, and people are saying there is no way games are fixed.

you said building a team from scratch

The chiefs did have a good defensive game plan. They kind of did that mush rush thing to try to contain his scrambling. Then they knew he's less effective throwing outside the numbers so they clogged the middle of the field and dared him to go outside. That's the default game plan, but the Ravens had an answer. They just kept trying to take the underneath stuff, but they weren't disciplined enough to not shoot themselves in the foot with a turnover or penalty. Part of that is on Lamar for sure. Part of being great is not getting board taking what the defense gives you. That's where Josh Allen struggles too. They love to say they're happy just handing off or taking the checkdowns, but they always get bored and want to start chucking it.

LOL... Levis? Come on, dude. Rodgers is 50 on a bum Achilles. Stafford is what? 35? 36? Dak is just as bad in the post season. Cousins has never won anything Lawrence is overrated. You must really think Lamar sucks if you'd take these guys over him.

I think it's about right. If you factor in contracts, I'd want Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert, and then I'd add Stroud since he has four years left on his rookie deal. You might be able to make a case for Hurts, but I'd rather have Lamar even at the bigger cap hit. Stafford has just as bad of a cap hit as Lamar, so I'd rather have Lamar. If it's just talent and not salary, I'd go mahomes, Allen, burrow, and that's it.

I was close

He actually said he influenced games by up to 6 points. The whole insider knowledge thing doesn't get you arrested.

I don't know about close to 0. An NBA ref was doing it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_NBA_betting_scandal

Chiefs defense might be the best unit on the field.

Actually it may not have even been Nick Bolton. He hit a chiefs defender in the face with a pass. For some reason I thought it was a linebacker number.

Nick Bolton

Lamar should've had two picks. He threw one right to Fred Warner in the first half and he let it go right through his hands and hit him in the face mask.

That game would have been like 4 sigmas of stupid.

And not only did the refs get the call wrong on the lateral. They said Pittsburgh couldn't decline the penalty which is obviously false. So they had to make a bad call after review. Then they had to make up a rule saying Pittsburgh couldn't decline it. Guaranteed that was fixed.

It's actually pretty easy to fix a game if you're a ref. People love to say, "you could call holding on every play" All a ref needs to do is call holding more against one team and less against another.

Refs definitely fix games. Watch the ending of Pittsburgh/Chargers in 2008. The refs were making bad calls against the steelers all game, but the chargers kept shooting themselves in the foot. On the final play, the chargers tried to lateral, and the Steelers picked it up and ran it in for a TD that was meaningless to the game, but covered the spread. Ref calls for a review, and says the chargers had an illegal forward pass on lateral which obviously wasn't and overturned the TD. Everyone was completely confused... Coaches, announcers, everyone. The fix couldn't have been more obvious. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/fans-think-fix-was-in-for-chargers-steelers Let me be clear. I watched this game and was speculating it was fixed halfway through the second quarter. The calls all the way through were BS. Keep in mind too, the nba had a ref convicted of fixing games. I don't know why people think it couldn't happen in the NFL.

Mahomes is playing like he's scared to get hit.
