From the Department of The Story That Just Wouldn't Die Already: In a bid to not repeat the hubristic mistake I made a couple weeks ago with the Fox News debacle (insert joke of choice here), this time I waited for the segment to actually air before sharing it here. This three-minute interview ran on the NewsNation cable network this morning on their Morning in America program. Despite appearances, Markie Martin is not grilling me relentlessly in this thumbnail, and I am not recoiling in horror for being Dunning-Krugered. You may not care about me or the story one way or other, but I hope you at least respect that I'm properly representin' here.

52.5 points for Minnesota or both teams combined? 🤣🤣

I don’t understand how you can find fault in him. If anything, he should be praised for holding it together with a bunch of guys who were on practice squads a few weeks back.

dan campbell: coach of the year. if THIS collection of has beens and never wuzzes on defense can win the nfc, it should go down as one of the greatest coaching exhibitions in nfl history.

Great defense!! Aaron Glenn is a genius. 😅

When I die, please don’t volunteer to do my eulogy.

Petersson and JT Miller don’t get along. I thought that was just rumor, but team management recently confirmed it and basically said the two of them both need to grow up and get their act together. Fans have been on Petersson since the spring as they feel he has really tailed off after signing his 8 x $11.6mm contract. My daughter is dating a fine young man who is a Canucks fan and who like many fans his age (21 y.o) is big into analytics, prospects, drafts, trade proposals, etc. way more than I am. When he was over on Christmas he said any trade for Petersson would start with Seider and add from there. Well yeah, if we are just talking about player quality, but not if we think Petersson’s contract is bad. He’s coming over tonight for New Year’s Eve and wanted to make sure the Canada-U.S. world junior game will be on.

Your last sentence makes me think you need to do a lot more research on this.

I just read an interesting twist, which is that the states that were transitioning to cage-free had been doing marginally better against H1N1, but now are being hit as hard as non-cage free operations as the virulence increases. So you may be seeing the cage free states just catching up to the rest of rest of country in bird flu impact. So cage-free may be a factor in why a price increase now, but not the cost issue per se. https://www.fooddive.com/news/post-holdings-egg-business-impacted-by-bird-flu-as-prices-rise/735694/#:~:text=Michael Foods%2C responsible for brands,about 14% of Post's supply.

Sleep well......😆

Speaking of QBR, Aaron Rodgers had the lowest QBR of the season yesterday with a 1.2.

They played on Thanksgiving in 2016 and 2017. The last time they played a game past 1:00pm though was in 2014, when they played in the 4:25pm slot. The last time they played in real primetime though was Thursday Night Football before Thursday Night Football was a thing. November 30, 2000.

So Goff was 26/34 for 303 yards and 3 TDs and 0 INTs. Purdy was 27/35 for 377 and 3 TDs and 2 INTs. Purdy's QBR was 85.5 and Goff's was 73.3. So Purdy has two more INTs, but 74 more passing yards, and that equals a 12 point advantage in QBR?

The NFL re-seeds its bracket after the wildcard round, so the 1-seed plays the lowest remaining seed.

Goff in general is one of the best vs. blitzes. So is Arnold. They disguise their blitzes so well though. Should be an epic game.

Goff has been the one QB who has solved Flores defense.

Agree - I think Anzalone's loss has been a bigger deal than generally recognized.

Since that 5th INT against Houston Goff has thrown 22 TDs to 1 interception.

No. In fact, only nine teams have done this in NFL history. Five won the Super Bowl.

1st win in SF since 1975. Gas was 39 cents a gallon!! 😅😅

I’m taking a bow on this one! 👍🏻

Moody kicks the onside kick thru the uprights. 😅😅

Last 13 games the Lions have scored 40+ in 6 of them.

There is the exclamation point. Hell of an effort from Ben Johnson and Kerby Joseph.

He was out there on the 4th down TD.

Good decision, good play call, hell yes. You can't settle for 3 with this defense.

That INT was a step in the right direction. Time to show the world that the 49ers are the 49ers.

in true lions fashion, this year really really hurts. the best lions team of ALL of our lifetimes is crippled by injury. it makes me so sad i dont even like to think about it. it hurts. if they still win it will be the greatest championship in the history of michigan sports and i'll be rooting for it. but i just dont see it.

Would this be the same punter that Caleb Williams said wouldn't be punting often?

I have my own rant about that.

It's amazing how such a horribly coached team is 13-2.

I say we give relegation its first test in major American sports.

Guess I shouldn't make a joke.

I did not like that call. They needed the points.

a thousand times this. that's what he was SUPPOSED to be. that's why a 6'6 guy gets drafted #9. and he's played like it for MAYBE 20 games two years ago. since then, nothing. he's just an ordinary nhl player but tall. not physical. not imposing. nothing. he must be a really nice guy because none of the beat writers ever call him out. not even bultman (the best of the bunch).

I enjoyed that interview. Great job and great deal. Loved the Detroit baseball hat, but I would expect nothing less from you. 🙂

I wish someone could shake some sense into Rasmussen that he falls into the same category of needing to be physical and mean

I stay away from all centralized password managers. I use KeepassXC. That saves an encrypted password file on my PC then I use SyncTrayzor to distribute it to phone/tablet/laptop. I have it set that anytime something is plugged in to charge and is on my wifi network, it syncs the file so my phone always has my updated password file.

Seriously because we are all tired of you saying this every week, where is it proven? Please provide any analytical data that it leads to more wins.

LG and LT for the 49ers are making their first career starts tonight

QBR is better than raw QB rating but like all stats has it's flaws. For instance they put alot of weight on game situation, which is fair but also doesn't make it even across the board cause if your a QB that gets to play in more close games with more high leverage plays you're going to get rewarded more vs. a guy who's team plays in more blowouts(like Goff). Also it factors in strength of defense, which again is fair and again makes it hard to compare guys cause if you play well against a bad defense that doesn't mean that your performance wouldn't have been the same if the defense is better, and like game situation if you happen to be a QB who plays more games against tough defenses you are going to get rewarded more. To me though like all QB stats it doesn't account for the mental side of things like making the right reads. I know that is hard to quantify but just cause you completed a pass to an open receiver that physically didn't look that tough doesn't mean that it wasn't a good play. Lesser QBs may have completely missed the guy, or thrown too early/late to maximize the play but that doesn't show up in these stats, atleast to the best of my knowledge.

Nice , Chaz 👍. Wearing the colors

Awesome! Way to represent.

Carter's activism and community work post presidency cemented his legacy. I fear we will not see anyone in public office again who exemplifies what it truly means to have Christian values.

Something tells me that the same party that has frequently advocated for radically changing or even ending of Title IX may not be the most trustworthy advocate for women athletes
