    Sorry for the late response - was out much of the day. Scheffler is just not human. Shooting a 66 after that morning? I’m in awe.

    I’m going to take the over. That said, if he does go low today he will prove that he is not human.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    The claim was that “teams wilt in Miami in September.” I didn’t check beyond this because, quite honestly, I don’t really have the time to pour through the data and carve it up. I mostly did the macro cut because the claim itself seems more urban legend than fact, and the aggregate data doesn’t...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    FWIW, some quick google work tells me that the Dolphins all-time record at home is 286-160-3, for a winning percentage of 63.7%. Dolphins all-time record at home in September is 53-30, for a winning percentage of 63.9%. This can obviously be sliced further, but my guess is that the impact of...

    I get that I’m not the target, but the coverage on ESPN Bet (for an hour before the main coverage starts on ESPN) is the most atrocious thing I’ve ever seen/heard.

    2024 PGA Tour

    I get what you are saying here and agree with the example you give. The problem is that your example is totally incongruent with what happened in this case. Xander had a shot that was unplayable in every sense of the word. For a rules official to state that it was theoretically possible for him...

    Formula 1 2024: Ferrari's Return to Glory. Possibly. Ok, Unlikely.

    The organizational issues are obvious, but Adrian Newey leaving is a massive loss for Red Bull and a sign that their performance edge will begin to erode. The only question is whether he’s retiring or jumping to a competitor, which would mean that team will be on the rise. He’s that important...

    Roasted GOAT

    It should be noted that when Donald Trump was roasted (in 2011) he put it in the contract that no one was allowed to make jokes that implied he wasn’t as rich as he claimed. https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-roast-on-comedy-central-what-he-banned-2016-8 My guess is that Kraft told...

    Unusual plays

    I’m actually laughing at this question because its a good one and I don’t know. I would think that the answer is no, but I’m almost sure he’d be called out anyway.

    Unusual plays

    When used as intended, equipment is part of the body. So if he was wearing the helmet and overslid the bag and ended up with his helmet (on his head) resting on the base, he’s safe. However, when equipment is used for reasons other than it’s stated purpose - like intentionally removing your...

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    The idea that the Falcons are secret geniuses for making this pick is absolute fucking madness. It’s not that the logic of picking Penix is flawed. It’s that it is fundamentally and inalterably incompatible with the strategy of signing Cousins to a big (guaranteed) money deal with the stated...

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    Perhaps. But he’s not wrong. Atlanta giving Cousins all that money and then not using the #8 pick to make the team better is simply insane. This misses the point pretty spectacularly. The time to be thinking about spending a top 10 pick on a QB is not in the same off-season where you signed...
