I like the NBA but when a guy can run full speed into a defender 20ft from the basket and get a call to win the game with Free Throws like Mitchell just did there…your sport is broken

Walker then?
The idea that Jason Myers should win Super Bowl MVP because of five relatively easy FG... can we please not do that?

The Westbrook mvp season remains one of the most disingenuous sports things that has happened.
Westbrook is the best rebounding guard ever but his teammates were intentionally helping him gets stats that season. They were a 7 seed and had no bearing on the history of the NBA.

All-time triple-doubles:
Russell Westbrook 207
Nikola Jokic 182
Oscar Robertson 181
Magic Johnson 138
LeBron James 122
Jokic moved to second on the all-time list tonight vs. Bulls.

This unpredictable NFL season makes a lot more sense to me if the Rams or Seahawks win the Super Bowl relatively easily. The Seahawks got the easier path thanks in part to a fumblerooski 2pt conversion.
The best AFC team was one of the Broncos, Bills or Jags.

Nuggets rarely win if Jokic takes more than 7 threes.
Adleman should’ve mixed up the lineup in OT they were gassed

Ravens putting together a SQUAD
The Ravens are hiring Anthony Weaver to be their new defensive coordinator under Jesse Minter, per source.
Weaver returns to Baltimore, where he both played and coached.

The timing of Kwesj firing by the Vikings is very odd. He was a bit reckless with draft capital and struggled with roster depth, but overall the team was good. I’m sure OConnel was a part of the JJ McCarthy and Darnold decisions, and he’s a good coach, so Kwesi scapegoated? Owner angry?

I’ve had problems with Payton’s game management all year, but not kicking that FG, in this game with a backup QB and defense playing well may cost them their season.
Never got that 3 points back.

Poor fans are destined for 9-8 for eternity
Having succeeded wildly over the last six decades by hiring young first-time defensive coaches Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin, the Steelers have continued that cycle by hiring ... Mike McCarthy

Minter is probably a good coach, but this whole cycle has felt like the Ravens are bummed they let McDonald go, so now they hire a guy from the same coaching tree of the guy they just fired. That is an odd way to get a new voice and ideas in the building.
OC will now make or break their Lamar focus

17 months after taking over a program w the most losses in CFB… Indiana is the National champs. Unbelievable. Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers finish 16-0 lead by a Miami kid in Fernando Mendoza. One of the greatest sports stories ever.

Deserve means nothing in this sport. But McDermott did not *deserve* to lose his job based on his performance this year. But a fresh restart was probably necessary. That Brandon Beane is staying, based on what he put together this season, is dumbfounding

Bills GM Brandon Beane will be retained, per source.
He will lead the search for Buffalo's next head coach.

Now my living nightmare… Nix has to go score a TD or else I have to pray Josh Allen doesn’t go score a TD and even if Broncos score a TD the Bills could try a 3 yard tush push to go for 2 and win it.
