The hardest thing to understand about that Commanders ending..why are you even trying to run the clock down? Make the FG & the game is over. You have zero timeouts left. If you're going to get cute in case you miss and the Giants get the ball, make damn sure everyone understands the clock situation

I hope KC Concepcion is ok. He went limp immediately. That's a scary situation.

This is what did them in, huh? 
Ben Shapiro tweeted on October 6 the best thing happening in America right now is the Chicago White Sox just saying they did not win a game after that

Yeah, it's absurd that he homered on that pitch

Is it good when your drive starts at your opponent's 29-yard line and it ends with a punt? Asking for the Crimson Tide

I have no bigger pet peeve at the gym than someone sitting on a machine and playing on their phone for 5-10 mins between sets

The reaction from Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt on that one-handed grab by Indiana was a bit much. Yeah, it was an impressive grab, but it gained like 4 yards.

Some great tracks on that album (Promises, Promises, Defiance, and Adolescents are probably my favs), but I remember not knowing that Incubus had a new album until like a year after it came out. There was so little fanfare around it. Not sure why.

Mike Myers was in a few of those sketches too and has done guest appearances as Musk in recent shows. Could make it work with Smigel-Gillis (hosting tomorrow) -Witaske-Mike Myers

Peyton Manning at least has a couple Super Bowl wins to hang his hat on, but in his career, teams he QB'd won 13+ regular season games 6 times. 4 of those 6 teams lost their first playoff game.

I was 2 years old when the Bears won that Super Bowl, and 9 when Ditka was fired. His coaching peak was largely before my time w/sports watching. I'll always just remember Ditka as the juice box guy in Kicking & Screaming, though I do love the Bill Swerski's Superfans SNL sketches.

Chris Brooks has 0 career fumbles and a career average of nearly 5 ypc. Would love to see the Packers actually give him a real opportunity, though I know he's not the most exciting option. He just plays assignment sound football and executes the fundamentals. Too bad he tweaked his ankle

Dallas just waived Emari Demarcado too. They don't have much behind Javonte and like Philly, have another game left vs Washington this year they could get intel for.

I remember clips of Steve Perry at a Giants playoff game in the crowd a few years ago belting out 'Don't Stop Believing' along with the other fans. Had to be a similar feeling. Really incredible.

Murakami > Any player on the 2005 White Sox (though I say that as a Cubs' fan whose opinion doesn't carry much weight when it comes to Sox stuff)

Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, and Dexter are gonna be popular answers for this, but for me it's Westworld. Season one was SO good, but it just fell off a cliff from there.

It's a pretty high scoring league with a lot of bonus points, and very TE-heavy (I've been starting all 3 TEs each week).

Shawn Foss @shawnfoss.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
For additional context, here are the important roster pieces QB - Lamar, Bryce RB - Saquon, Skattebo, Monangai, Charbonnet, Pacheco, Sean Tucker, Kaleb Johnson WR - Olave, Carnell Tate, Diggs, Doubs, Bateman, Antonio W., M. Fields, Tre Harris, Dohnte Myers, Flournoy TE - McBride, Kelce, J. Johnson

I've got $909 (out of $1,000 budget) left. Waivers are usually pretty barren in this league (best players on waivers right now are Huntley, Will Shipley, Holani, Cody White, Mitchell Tinsley). Do I say fu*k it and just take the L this week if Lamar doesn't play, or go all-in on Huntley?

Shawn Foss @shawnfoss.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Fun dynasty hypothetical (this isn't actually hypothetical - it's an actual problem I'm facing this week)... My 4-0 Superflex team has 2 real-world starting QBs on it, Lamar (injured) and Bryce Young (bye). Tyler Huntley is the only available QB on waivers. What % of my waiver budget do I bid?

Pitts averages in 16 Michael Penix starts in the last 3 years: 4.25 targets 3.1 receptions 30.8 yards 0.125 touchdowns Pitts averages in all other games in the last 3 years: 6.0 targets 4.1 receptions 50.2 yards 0.32 touchdowns There's a distinct issue for him when Penix starts.

He doesn't have to be generational to be better than Brian Robinson Jr.

It's really interesting that as we head into a potential labor stoppage in MLB this offseason because 'small market teams can't compete', 3 of the 4 teams in the ALDS rank 27th (White Sox), 28th (Rays), and 29th (Guardians) in the majors in payroll this year.

Shawn Foss @shawnfoss.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
I think Kyle Pitts is better than Brian Robinson, but Penix has a noticeable aversion to throwing Pitts the football.

Shawn Foss @shawnfoss.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
And somehow Penix is averaging only 240 yards and 1 TD per game. Amazing what a competent QB can do for their run game.

I'm not arguing the umps got the call wrong. The ground rules are clear. I just don't like the ground rules
000
Shawn Foss @shawnfoss.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It should be treated like a live ball that already hit the ground (or wall). But the ground rules in Milwaukee do clearly state that they can catch it for an out, so umps made the right call. I just don't think those ground rules are very good, and certainly don't feel like common sense.
110
Shawn Foss @shawnfoss.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Right...I'm fine with it being a live ball, but the play tonight, it was just ruled a fly out. The ball hit the roof, and then the outfielder caught it for an out. That shouldn't be an out IMO.
210
Shawn Foss @shawnfoss.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I think common sense says if it hits *something* other than a fielder, the outfielder shouldn't be able to catch it as a fly out, but the Milwaukee field ground rules say otherwise. Hitting the roof shouldn't be any different than hitting the ground or the wall IMO.

My wife and I just finished the season of Neagley last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It definitely still works without the big guy (outside of a couple cameos).

The New York Jets have now gone 20 consecutive games without recording an interception on defense. There are only 4 teams in the NFL that don't have an interception yet this season...and the Jets haven't had one since their final game of the 2024 season.

Man, that Trea Turner contract could be an albatross if this year wasn't just a blip. 7 more years at $27M per year for a guy who had an 81 OPS+ and a negative WAR this season

And Deshaun Watson has done none of that work.

Shawn Foss @shawnfoss.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
The Deshaun Watson redemption tour that some folks in NFL media have been pushing is just so, so gross I believe in second chances, but they're not just handed out automatically because time has passed. They're earned by doing the work (admitting wrongdoing, showing contrition, growing as a person)

Good is a very relative term. Is Pop Douglas good compared to the average NFL starting WR? No. Is he good compared to the average backup? Probably.

But none of those averages over the course of the season mattered in a short series - they mustered 1 run in 2 days. Just the nature of baseball. Their patience/walk rate actively worked against them last night as Pivetta was dotting the edges of the zone.

I'd prefer them over Milwaukee or LA

Well, the thing we were all convinced would be the Cubs undoing in the playoffs - their bullpen - ultimately didn't matter at all.

Shawn Foss @shawnfoss.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
That felt like a replay of the top of the 1st yesterday for the Cubs. They look completely overmatched by the opposing starter again
