The most KAT thing of all time — he was holding up the walkway off the court because he wanted to share the trophy with Knicks fans, so he stopped and leaned into the stands to let a bunch of them touch it. They reacted like it was the best moment of their lives.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

I do understand who Shedeur Sanders is as a QB, and he put all his positives and negatives on display. What I don’t understand is what Cleveland seeks to accomplish with this competition: www.theringer.com/2025/08/12/n...

Where Does Shedeur Sanders Stand in the Browns’ QB Battle?

There were some good moments in the rookie’s preseason debut. But has anything changed for Sanders in the NFL’s weirdest quarterback competition?

Desperation can acquaint you with strange bedfellows. Pittsburgh needs a new identity on offense, and Aaron Rodgers needs a chance to wash the stink off of his reputation. What Mike Tomlin needs to do to make this unlikely marriage work: www.theringer.com/2025/06/10/n...

OSU’s 2024 defense is gonna be interesting to place in the modern era convo. Super talented, but won’t join 2021 UGA, 2018 Clemson, 2013 FSU, 2011 Bama, 2008 USC and 2001 Miami. I think this is as good as it’ll get in the Transfer/NIL era, though. High water mark for sure.

Protect the health of the players in football by making it clear that offensive players cannot initiate contact with the crown of their helmets. That was a textbook example of a dangerous offensive play from Javonte Williams.

It’s early, but that scoring drive was exactly what I had in mind for Baltimore this postseason. When it’s time to control the pace of a game and take the stress off of Lamar in the pocket, the only answer they had was Lamar as a runner. Now they have Derrick Henry to hand out body blows, too.

If you played in the street, you wanted to be picked to play RB. If you played youth ball, you wanted to be RB. If you created a player in a video game, you wanted to be RB. They tried to bury the coolest position in football, but 2024 was a RB renaissance: theringer.com/2025/01/10/n...

There are more free rushers than I’m used to seeing from this offense, too. Darnold needs to be better but there are things to clean up on the playsheet too.

Diante Lee @diantelee.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Darnold is wilting beneath all these Cover 0 calls. KOC will have to use all the calls that would beat Brian Flores in practice to win this game against Aaron Glenn.

Diante Lee @diantelee.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Amon Ra is such a skeleton key as a blocker in this offense. That TD run may as well have been out of 22 Personnel. St Brown takes out run support and leaves the MOF safety one on one with Gibbs. When your slot receiver is a Tier 1 blocker you can do whenever you want in the run game.

In the biggest game of the year (so far), the Vikings defense allowed their fewest yards in seven weeks. Defenders say they're adjusting quicker than ever, pulling from stuff not in the game plan. They're also not that worried about the hurry-up issues. Story: www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...
