A) Yes B) But honestly, the bigger issue is that the final round of voting is not "Does this person have a hypermajority of voters think they're worthy of the HoF?", it's "Does this person have a hypermajority of voters think they're worthy of the HoF OVER the other finalists in the pool (to...

Yeah, it's kind of shocking how Balkanized the internet has become, such as this year when I asked myself who the hell is ishowspeed and why is he covering an NFL game on Youtube only to find out he has more subscribers than the population of most countries in Europe, or wondering why there's Mr...

The Pro Bowl hasn't been a full contact game from the 2022 season on, turning into 1:1 position games (emulating the MLB Home Run Derby) and, yes, flag football. No team (and likely very few players) wants to ruin their next season chances with a long-term injury.

Honestly, I am more annoyed with Shedeur over Flacco. Give Flacco a trip there before he retires for real, I'm fine with him getting to go once over nearly two decades. But fucking Shedeur Sanders? Year one, more interceptions than TDs, and a QBR (which admittedly isn't perfect, but is...

Player response has been so unsatisfied that Blizz actually bumped up the spawn rate to every 5 minutes for the rotation (note that one rare is not on the rotation), increased the currency by ~150%, and increased the catchup equipment drop rates by about 10x of what they were when the event...

Basically, the game fandom's opposition boils down to two (and a half) issues: 1) This isn't an adaptation, this is in-universe. Unlike The Last of Us, where they decided "Hey, let's film the videogame cut scenes with real people!" but the show has no bearing on the videogames themselves...

On one hand, I can see how, if you only effectively need 11 edit: non-votes, you can plausibly get to 11 from people pissed at the -Gates, assuming he'll be back once he's run out of the NCAA, or people trying to get other long running candidates in. I'm more shocked at how the voting is built...

I'm not sure any of the credit scenes should be considered canonical. IIRC, while Fallout's history had states, they were conglomerated into Commonwealths a century before the war. I'm not sure anyone would call Canada the 51st State, as opposed to the 14th Commonwealth. -- I will admit that...

To be accurate, Bill _only_ won 6 SBs as HC - the other two were as DC. Not being a first ballot is still insane to me. Bill has more SB wins as HC than the NFC North _division_, and more than the AFC South and NFC South combined. You can argue he wasn't an exceptional GM, but trying to...

The internal resolution could just be a bug, we've seen weirder incorrect rendering settings in the past, and there's a lot of evidence this was pared down from a system settings point of view at the end - that's probably why there weren't any previews, as _they_ probably didn't know if it would...

Eh, after watching Mike and Mike lose those other two games, I am going to have to instead go with Mike. (Is it really taking this long to come up with pro-Patriots analytics?)

I didn't like how gassed the Seahawks defense looked in the fourth, but the Seahawks sure had the better offense vs the Patriots today, even if you toss out the snowy portion of the AFC game. Seahawks over Patriots - The Patriots can turn Darnold into a pumpkin with a ferocious sustained pass...

Packers don't play the Browns next season, but with Gannon as DC, we'll probably inexplicably botch the game vs the Jets and/or Dolphins. Speaking of the Packers, that special teams gaffe could cost the Rams the game.

Do people really buy Conference gear in bulk? Either its superseded by your Super Bowl win in two weeks, or else you were just the Super Bowl loser.

I've been saying it for weeks, both high seeds being cold weather teams in mid-January with no traditional juggernauts meant the field was wide open for someone to waltz in. And now regardless of how they got there, they're just 60 good minutes away from a Lombardi trophy.
