actually the national anthem has no relation to sports whatsoever and there’s no reason to play it before every game

Here is the Packers vs. Lions postgame pool report with referee Alex Moore through reporter Ben Raven:

The Packers got a stop on the Lions 22 with 4:50 remaining in the game and proceeded to produce a putrid three play sequence including a dropped TD and then had a 35 yard FG attempt blocked. That sequence is where a good team would have overcome the officiating.

Jordan Love on passes of 20+ yards vs. the Lions (per NFL Pro):
1-for-6 for 14 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 39.6 passer rating
Film study: Packers’ deep passing attack is a paper tiger prideofdetroit.com/detroit-l…

Is that the kind of leadership you @jayfeely exhibited with the NFLPA when you were caught leaking information to the media during the 2011 CBA talks (a move that helped you get a sideline reporter job)?
This gives you a good window into how my teammates viewed me, the leadership qualities I exhibited, and the relationships I had with my teammates which should give you a window into who I will be in Congress bit.ly/FeelyFolktales

Jared Goff now leads all quarterbacks in success rate.
No pass play through seven weeks has been more likely to produce a positive result than a Goff dropback.

Has to be the largest size disparity on the Mesh crossers in recorded history between Penei Sewell (335 pounds) and Jameson Williams (184 pounds)
Jameson Williams' 2nd TD of the game and the Lions take the lead back!

one frustration people in analytics had w 4th down decisions is that "contextual factors" always altered a model's recommendation toward punting, never going for it. never saw a coach use his gut to be more aggressive. then dan campbell blew that shit out of the water
Ty Schalter retweeted
Probably one of the best 4th down decisions you will see all season, because a punt would've given the Packers the control over the clock.
jahmyr gibbs just hurt himself worse trying to stop himself than anyone has ever hurt him trying to stop him

National Tight Ends Day isn't even a real holiday. the NFL adapted it from a pagan fullback festival held each year at the time of the fall equinox

This seems like a risky move. John Williams is 94 years old. Can't imagine he's moving that well anymore.
