@Don Corleone … you had me until
you had to make political commentary in summation . I’m just tired of it in all directions ; I don’t go to the Mid for that
From T. Peterson: Right. I agree. I usually delete political comments but since it was just one irrelevant one at the end I let it ride. We like to keep it sports related.
Not really a conspiracy but a fact these days. About 100 x and current professional players of different sports are currently being charged for fixing games. Current estimates say that men between the ages of 18 and 34 bet on sports at a rate of about 60%. Pro athletes don’t need the money today as they already make millions? You can’t satisfy the lust for money just look at our current president.
#9, that pass was thrown with 18 seconds left in the 4th quarter of regulation, not overtime That TD put the game in OT. #14 for the Rams made two interceptions in the game but then made a stupid move that almost cost them the game. He was right there on that hail marry pass and had plenty of time to react and knock the ball down, instead he let the receiver get behind him and didn’t even contest the pass.
From. T. Peterson: Right.
The Buffalo Bills have fired coach Sean McDermott in the wake of the team’s loss to Denver this weekend. He had been the Bills coach for nine years.
That play was the difference between Rams covering the point spread, or the Bears covering . Rams victory field outcome either way
Then Caleb throws pick to snatch defeat from jaws of victory in OT ..::::.interesting circumstances for conspiracy theorists
Can’t stop thinking how stupid it was to hear an offsides penalty being called a ‘neutral zone infraction’ during the Buffalo-Denver game. Do they teach them these high-sounding phrases in zebra school to boost these guys’ egos?
#9-
That crazy pass had to have been to pay off some Mobsters prop bet. I read 25 billion was bet on this weekend’s NFL games. He threw it off his back foot, it then floated 51 yards, and no Ram was Within 5 yards of the receiver. They all must have been thinking about how they’re going to spend their gambling winnings.
