  1. It's an extremely competitive race, but I think Florida might legit be the dumbest state.
  2. Are posters writing this off as an unserious offense, or are they skeptical that the NBA will levy a punishment harsh enough for Ballmer and Kawhi to really feel? Pretty big difference.
  3. It worked, so they get to be geniuses, but, if your margin for error for running your kick team out there perfectly, lining up, and having the kicker set up without rushing is less than 2 seconds, then the odds of something slowing you down slightly is much greater than Baltimore getting into field goal range with 20 seconds and no timeouts. But ballsy as fuck to trust your guys enough to execute when a second and half later and you've committed one of the biggest completely self-inflicted blunders in recent memory.
  4. Don't get me wrong, it was bad ass, but literally no practical reason to not kick on third down.
  5. Cut that unnecessarily close.
  6. Can one of these teams with clearly far superior rosters than Kansas City finally beat them in the AFC Championship Game this year? Jesus fuck.
  7. Like, random Twitter bot obviously means 8% "pure blood" right?
  8. I don't think we've ever had this discussion on Surly before.
  9. The guy with darker skin won. Of course he was pissed.
  10. Better odds of Trump losing an NFL stadium before a high level tennis or golf event.
  11. Ron Smith has a different standard for "mercilessly."
  12. Aaron Rodgers, in Week 1, throwing shade at his former franchise who paid a 40 year-old $75M to give them one season of mediocre quarterback play is peak Aaron Rodgers.
  13. Going to have to narrow it down.
  14. As someone with a 3 year-old son, this is a lot to unpack.
  15. [aggie08 looking up who Geno Smith currently plays for] "Oh, neat!"
  16. I suppose it would depend on which driver you ask. I'm sure Lando is happy as the trailing in points driver to be able to fight his teammate for wins...but still kind of pissed that he, as the more experienced driver, wasn't the clear #1 from when Oscar was a rookie. I'm sure Oscar thinks his much improved Saturday results and race consistency should have earned him priority...but is also glad, as a 2nd year driver, that team orders weren't put in place from Race 1. Not saying McLaren is handling it will, but there's also not a clear answer either.
  17. Oh, for sure. I thought that Hungary was fucking stupid and anti-competitive in real-time. You either pit Oscar first, in order, and let Lando fend for himself, or you pit Lando (who was way ahead in points) and live with Oscar's frustration if he gets undercut. But that's McLaren. This year, one of their drivers is going to win the WDC, and they're at least pretending to not care who.
  18. Okay, man. You see it through way different glasses. Last year in Hungary was a much more in doubt result than today when the last round of pitting happened. And only Lando had a shot at the WDC. If you manufacturer the swap then, you have to today, when Lando was clearly the 2nd best car on the track. You disagree. That's fine.
  19. Also, this. We're arguing over 3 points. McLaren has already locked up the constructor's championship, and they're going to finish 1-2 in the Driver's. Going back on the precedent that they set last year over 3 points (I guess technically 6) would be an even bigger self own, and for what purpose?
  20. Week 1 NFL football is the best. The best winning quarterbacks of the day are Aaron Rodgers, Daniel Jones, and Kyler Murray.
  21. This makes the opposite point you want it to. Lando undercut Oscar fair and square last year. Pit stops times were within normal ranges. They were close enough before pitting for an undercut to be highly probable, but McLaren brought in Lando first anyway. Then they still forced Lando to hand Oscar the win. Today, Lando built a big enough margin that an undercut shouldn't have been a possibility, the team called in Oscar first because they had the luxury of being overprotective of him wrt Leclerc, then the team fumbled in pit lane. If you make the swap in the first scenario, you absolutely have to in the second.
  22. Comic Sans didn't want in on that?
  23. How does it differ? Lando was their best/only shot at winning a driver's championship last year, and they still forced the swap. McLaren set the precedent, not the drivers.
  24. Consistently shit is a pretty good summation.
  25. You could even argue that last year the stakes were even higher, and they torpedoed any realistic chance of Lando catching Max in points when they forced him to let Oscar take the win in Hungary in the name of fairness. Not following the same template today would have gone a long way towards fracturing the team.
