Even had Bowles gone for two and got it, how shocked would anyone have been if Mahomes got KC in FG range with 27 seconds and 2 TO. Not very. I think most of us would be surprised if 15 didn’t get them there in that situation. The right play was probably to go OT and bet on the coin toss.

It took a little more time voting this morning due to not checking a straight Democratic ticket. Even though the position doesn’t matter, there was absolutely no way that I was casting a vote for Denise Ilitch as UM Trustee. When the family chooses to step up and invest back in the teams they are essentially holding hostage, I will choose to support them again.

A player pushed or forced out of bounds by another player can re-establish. A player that runs out on their own can not.

I have none. This is not going to be close. The polls are way off and Trump is going to get streamrolled.

He probably shouldn’t have walked all the way to the bench but removing himself from the play was smart. If he doesn’t the ball is probably coming his way and a penalty ensues.z

I know this looks bad but this actually a really smart veteran play. He ran out of bounds on his own and can’t touch the ball again without a penalty. He’s the closest WR to Caleb so the ball may have been coming his way so DJ smartly takes himself out of the play and gives Caleb a chance to convert somewhere else.

It’s an ejection all day and every day in college. NFL has different rules and this just a 15 yard penalty. Completely without warrant. Jordan Poyer on Miami and Coby Bryant of Seattle both had near identical plays yesterday and neither had a New York ejection.

Dennis Allen has been fired as Derek Carr’s head coach in New Orleans. I’d post the link but Elon has gone and f’d up his Twitter again.

Raiders fire OC Luke Getsy after only 9 games. He was canned as the Bears OC in January. Impressive suckage to get fired from 2 NFL Coordinator jobs in 10 months.

The overall record doesn’t really matter as long as they get the #1 seed and the bye and home field throughout the playoffs that comes with it.

Crazy things happen in the rain. Max finds himself in the right place at the right time and looks to have solidified the title.

I’ve got Michigan winning today because every so often college football makes no sense.

I’ve done more research than you can imagine on this subject and their many surveys and methods they use to collect and report data. This is not the first time I’ve posted about my issues with BLS data. The first and easiest change they should make is to not release jobs data on the first Friday of every month. It’s not enough time to gather accurate numbers. They should push back to 7 or 10 days to get a better initial results pool.

I always took Get a grip to be more abrasive than an ordinary awareness idiom but so be it. I think your take is ridiculously wrong and you think that I can’t be helped so maybe that’s where we have to agree to disagree.

So because it’s a hard thing to do, it’s ok to purposely put out essential data that is often off by 25 - 50%. That’s ridiculous. This has zero to do with Trump for me. It’s typical Washington bs that’s been going on for decades. Trump will be gone on Wednesday but these BLS issues will continue as long as people don’t challenge how they collect data. BTW, why are you all worked up? Definitely surprised by the tone of your reply. That got abrasive for no real reason. Ending with get a grip. Really?

It really isn’t too much to ask for a better system for a piece of data so important that it caused major market moves every time it’s released. This isn’t pump 5 at a Mobil station. Look at this chart. The consistency of massive misses on the initial release is staggering. How can you honestly refer to this an amazing feat of accuracy?

There are revisions every month because we use an antiquated system to gather the data. The BLS needs to determine a more modern and accurate system to collect the data. It’s one thing if the numbers are off by a small amount. August was reported as a robust 159,000 jobs gained and today was revised down to only 78,000. That’s a 50% miss. That’s too big an error on a piece of data that has so much of an impact on the markets.

Not sure how anybody could’ve watched the most recent Hard Knocks and come away impressed with Eberflus. He was just so awkward and not a leader in any way, shape, or form. A very fish out of water feeling whenever he was up in front of the team or even having one one one conversations with players. He’s a defensive X & O nerd and not a head job guy.

Another sneaky trick the BLS uses to deceive is rounding the data. The rounded Unemployment Rate reported and gobbled by media was 4.1% which was flat from last month. September’s actual number was 4.051 which they rounded all the way to 4.1% This month’s actual number was 4.14 which they rounded down. So the reality is that unemployment rate rose by nearly a tenth instead of flat as reported.

Big shocker - August and September jobs were revised down by -112,000 in today’s report. One has to think that the bogus 254k jobs the BLS made up for last month will get another revision in the next report too. Its amazes me that so much of our economy rides on this garbage data that is so easily manipulated.

But he has a plan and it’s almost ready.

The announcers are afraid to come right out and say what’s been obvious for weeks with the Jets. Rodgers is the problem. He’s old and done. We saw the signs 2 years ago in his last year in GB.

Still plenty of time for things to happen. There are teams trying to convince themselves they still have an outside shot at a playoff run that with another loss on Sunday will fold and become sellers. There will be a flurry of activity starting on Sunday night all the way up to 4:00 on Tuesday.
