My wife is a native Spanish speaker. I showed it to her and asked, and she said "It makes it sound more like they won two straight and are looking for a third straight win, but it's ambiguous enough that it could mean looking for their third straight appearance." She then asked me what it was...

Seriously, may failing to retract an unfair report about a sports team we cheer for be the worst thing that anyone ever does to us. Be well Mort, and cherish whatever time you have left with your family.

I agree that based on ESPN's pattern of responding to criticism so far this is what is most likely to happen, but if that is the tack he takes, I'm not sure why he would feel the need to defend ESPN in the first place. The thing to understand is, there is very little serious criticism of ESPN's...

You'll be waiting a while if you're hoping the NFL is going to make things kosher. Roger Goodell may be demonic enough to have cloven hooves, but I don't think he chews his cud, so you're fresh out of luck.

We're two steps removed from these measurements being relevant to whether or not Brady gets punished. The only reason they are measuring PSI at this point is because they need to appear as if they are taking seriously the fictional problem they invented so they don't have to answer to the dumb...

That was disgraceful.

That's demonstrably false as well. When it came down to spygate, we got punished even though the team and coach fully admitted everything after getting caught and were fully transparent and there was video evidence that they gave up. The NFL punished the Patriots and will continue punishing the...

You have to give him 5 yards if the returner signals for a fair catch.

Barring something crazy in the OAK/KC game, Denver will be a wild card team if they lose.

Congratulations this is the most convoluted conspiracy theory I've ever heard.

Yep, wind direction. I think they weren't feeling confident about getting the TD and were focusing on field position and preventing a long field goal from ending the game. Decision backfired, and I strongly disagreed with it both at the time and in hindsight now, but it definitely had a rational...

Yep, seems to me like Clete knew the Patriots were going to kick so he asked the question "Do you want to kick?", Slater maybe misheard as "Which side do you want to kick to?" and Slater responded with the direction, Clete misinterpreted the intention as a choice to kick rather than selecting a...

I think Slater was trying to pick a direction: "We want to kick off that way", and the ref interpreted it as wanting to kick?

Beautiful defense again. Incredible we are still in this game, considering our offense has done nothing.

This is disappointing. Thank god we already locked up the bye.

In playoff seeding, a tie is counted as half a win and half a loss, so yes it is the equivalent of a traditional 9-7 as far as I can gather. You just proceed down the tiebreaker list as normal, eg best head to head, best in division, etc.

He has made loads of cheap shots and unnecessary hits this game. Totally unacceptable. He should miss a game for it.

I think he's already won the MVP debate unless Cam has an embarrassing number of interceptions or Brady goes on an absolute tear in the last two games.

Don't know if this was intentional or not, but I laughed, considering all the terrible drive-ending mistakes made by the Panthers this final quarter.

He's been dirty all game.
