The Brooklyn Nets are First Place in the Eastern Conference for the First Time since April 2003

This team looks really good even without KD. Crazy how far this team has come since that infamous Celtics-Nets trade.

I looked at Justin Fields 40 time with video editing software

the clip was from the bigten network, and of the run they said was the best. video was 30fps.

first frame with his hand off the ground was 28 seconds and 09 frames

the frame I am positive he was first over the finish line was 32 seconds and 25 frames

so 4 seconds and 16 frames. 16/30=.5333

so I have 4.533.

bottom left blue number is the second and frame

he may have got over an instant earlier, but the angle sucks. maybe you could drop it a hundredth of a second.

The Miami Heat, with a record of 24-24, are 12-12 at home, 12-12 on the road, 5-5 in their division, 15-15 vs the East, and 9-9 vs the West

Now that’s .500 for ya.

They’re also 0-4 in OT.

Why don't defensive lineman line up backwards and backpedal rush the quarterback?

These defensive lineman would be completely unblockable due to the block in the back rule as they are only showing their back to the o-line. Because of this they would have a free rush on the quarterback and the o-line could only block them towards the quarterback as that is where their chests are facing. This seems pretty foolproof to me and I don't understand why teams have never tried this.

[Kubena] LSU wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, the 2019 Biletnikoff winner, was already thought to be a high first-rounder even without a 2020 season. A 41-inch vertical and an 11-foot broad jump at pro day is helping solidify that. Some have him as high as No. 5 with the Bengals.

Eli Manning never received a single vote for MVP. Only 2 QB's have failed to do this and made the hall of fame. Both of them retired before the award existed.

I got in an argument the other day about the joke that is Eli Manning's HoF candidacy. The absolute only argument in favor is the 2 super bowl rings, claiming that automatically puts him in. 11 QB's with multiple rings failed to make the HoF before Eli. Granted most of those weren't starters for all of their championships, but some of them were.

The obvious comparison is Jim Plunkett. Plunkett was never considered an elite QB during his career, but known for his tenacity and overcoming adversity. Eli was known for being Peyton's brother, and having a really good defense. Both QB's have the same career winning percentage of .500. Similar to Plunkett, Eli has never been considered even a top 5 QB for even a single season. And Plunkett also had better overall performance in the playoffs than Eli. Plunkett is not in the HoF because he was not very good. He was an okay player who happened to win 2 championships, and doesn't deserve to be in the HoF, and neither does Eli.

But lets not stop there. Lets mention 2 QB's who were very clearly better QB's, and have multiple championships, but aren't in the HoF: Phill Simms and Jack Kemp. Simms has 2 rings. One of those games he didn't start, but only because we was knocked out for the season after dominating all year. He did not have an MVP season, but did have an all-pro selection, and a Jim Thorpe award, which was chosen by players. Simms was consistently amongst the most dominant players at the position throughout his career, amassing a 95-64 career record that would have likely been much better if not for having numerous seasons cut short by injury. Jack Kemp dominated for 10 years, making 5 all-league teams and 1 MVP with 2 championships. The primary knock on him being that he played in the AFL and retired 1 season before the merger to be a Congressman. Then again its called the pro football hall of fame, not the NFL hall of fame.

Eli being considered for the hall of fame is an insult to those guys I mentioned. Its also an insult to guys like Rich Gannon, Joe Theismann, Randall Cunningham, and plenty of others. Its also kind of insulting as a fan who watched him for 14 years during which he was never even considered good.

Now that the league is going to 17 games, I think it’s fair to say all championships prior to this year are null and void. Every team starts at the same point from here on out. >17 just feels cheap and unsatisfying.

Ignore flair.

Jazz team plane hits a flock of birds upon takeoff and is forced to land due to engine failure

The Jazz’s team plane ran into some issues upon takeoff and immediately turned back to Salt Lake City after an engine failure.

Tweet from Flightradar24

DL8944, Salt Lake City-Memphis, returned to SLC shortly after takeoff with what appears to be a left engine issue. Playback is available at https://flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n651dl#273e0d38… This Boeing 757-200 is powered by PW2037 engines. It's one of the dedicated charter 757s in Delta's fleet.

The same twitter account later confirmed:

The aircraft belongs to Delta. Was carrying the Jazz.

Many Jazz players tweeted immediately following this incident, Donovan tweeted a prayer emoji while others tweeted thankful phrases like “God is good.”

Tweet from Andrea Urban:

I can confirm that this is the Utah Jazz team charter flight. The plane hit birds during takeoff resulting in an engine problem and immediate landing.

[Daniels] Mac Jones caught a ball at the end of his Pro Day. Said it was a tribute to his HS coach. Also wanted to show Belichick the play call... "Navy runs that play a lot - a midline run play... Obviously I know Belichick loves Navy, so I showed him that. It's all fun and games."

[Palmer] The expectation is that Alabama star WRs Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith won’t work out today. Mac Jones will be throwing for a second time today and didn’t have either for the first session. But he will have RB Najee Harris running routes for this session I’m told.

https://twitter.com/JamesPalmerTV/status/1376881459785572359

[Palmer] Today look for Mac Jones to incorporate more off balance and creative throws in his script. He feels he’s better than most think in that area. It’s a question that teams have had. When things break down, and they always do in the NFL, can he make plays?

Daniel Jeremiah: "The overwhelming majority of people around the league, believe the 49ers are trading up for Mac Jones".

So I was listening to the athletic football show with Mays and DJ as a guest and I was shocked how strongly he came on with this. Its 4 minutes into the podcast if you want to listen.

The full quote:

"I think the majority of people around the league believe this is for Mac Jones... Its what you hear from a lot of people and I would say this, the people that you would want to believe and that you would want to put your faith in, the OVERWHELMING majority of them believe that this is for Mac Jones.

Its worth going back and listening to this for yourself because he says it with a LOT of conviction.

[FootballPerspective] Prior to the 16-game season era, Joe Namath was the only QB in pro football history to throw for 4,000 yards in a season. At the conclusion of the 16-game season era, the Chicago Bears & the New York Jets were the only teams to not have a 4,000-yard passer from '78 to '20.

The Miami Heat haven't won a game since Meyers Leonard got traded

On March 17, 2021, Meyers Leonard and a 2nd round pick was traded to the OKC Thunder for Trevor Ariza. The Miami Heat didn't want him due to his bad words.

On that same day, they faced the Memphis Grizzlies and lost by 4.

Ever since then, The Miami Heat have been 0-6 ever since Meyers Leonard has been traded.

Coincidence? I think not

Today, CP3 Failed to get at least 2 AST for the first time in his entire career, Regular season and Playoffs

1,063 Consecutive games of at least 2 assists, second only to Stockton’s 1,390. A distant 3rd is Kidd with 688

If anyone deserves a ring, it’s this guy. He has shown he can bring back franchises from being a lottery team

If it wasn’t for an injury, this guy would’ve beaten the greatest team ever (GSW KD) and most likely been a champion by now

Apparently Rodney Hood and Hayley Williams of Paramore used to be neighbors and he taught her to crip walk

For context, Williams and Hood are both from Meridian, Mississippi.

About a year ago in response to a tweet asking Hayley how she learned to c-walk, she replied:

worst. c-walk i ever saw ... but i learned it back in mississippi. feel like my neighbor rodney taught me? also i think he may be an nba player now?! if it wasn’t him it was someone on the junior varisty bball team i was on. we were so little!

After Hood got moved to Toronto this past trade deadline, Raptors beat writer Blake Murphy, remembered this exchange and asked Rodney about it yesterday:

I asked Rodney Hood about this. He had no idea that his neighbor Hayley is now Hayley Williams. Also says he can't dance, but he'll take credit.

Full video of his response.

[@PFF_Sam] The number of people desperate to die on the hill of Sam Darnold is pretty weird to me. Sure he flashes elite playmaking ability, but 3 years into this thing you need more than flashes, even factoring in his situation.

[OC] Ranking All 32 Starting Long Snappers

Since it's that time of the season, I've decided to rank every starting Long Snapper in the league. I will be using a couple of criterion to rank them:

The Criterion

Time of Service

The most important role of being a long snapper is consistency. The more consistent you are, the longer your career will be. The ranking for tenure will be determined by number of seasons spent with current team (Including Upcoming 2021 Season)

15+ Seasons - 12 Points
13-14 Seasons - 10 Points
10-12 Seasons - 8 Points
5-9 Seasons - 6 Points
3-4 Seasons - 4 Points
1-2 Seasons - 2 Points

Accolades

The next best way to determine Long Snapper success is through the accolades they earn. If a player consistently makes Pro Bowls or All-Pros, they obviously deserve to rank higher

First Team All-Pro - 3 Points per berth
Second Team All-Pro - 2 Points per berth
Pro Bowl - 1 Point per berth

Collegiate Background

One of the biggest draws of a long snapper is the wild nature. An elite Long Snapper can come from anywhere, it matters not if they come from a big name school or a small one. So the weirder, the better

NCAA Division II, III, or Unaffiliated - 4 Points
NCAA Division I (FCS - Football Championship Series) - 3 Points
NCAA Division I FBS (Non-Power 5 Conference) - 2 Points
NCAA Division I FBS (Power 5 Conference: ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac 12, SEC) - 1 Point

Reputation

Finally, the most subjective of all categories. If a certain long snapper has something neat, wacky, or chad-worthy. They get a bonus point. For example, Jon Dorenbos would earn a bonus point for his side-gig of being a professional magician.

Bonus Point for Reputation - 1 Point

Tiebreakers

Ties between season are broken first through longevity difference and secondly through higher accolades

NOTE This is by no means a decisive end-all list and if your favorite snapper ranks low, that’s perfectly ok. That’s just the results of my arbitrary guidelines...except Don Mulbach, he’s always #1.

But enough of the preamble ramblings, I know you're all here for the rankings.

Responding to this:

Free agent LaMarcus Aldridge plans to sign with the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN.

Nets still have one more roster spot to use in the buyout market.

Well we know Steve Nash would start Jesus lol

Possible trade coming between the Bears and Steelers

Very random, as I’m a packers fan. I was just playing warzone with randoms, ended up with a female teammate. She had her mic on and I could hear her husband talking in the background about a “deal”. Then something was said about he would love to play in Pittsburgh. I tried to ask the girl for info but she felt a bit awkward when I asked if she could tell me who her husband was. All she would say was that it was her husband being loud in the background and that he’s an NFL player.

Anyways, he currently plays in Chicago (I did look up her gamertag which is linked to her twitch/IG and she is wearing bears gear in some pics). The last thing I heard was that if no one else calls within the next 30 minutes he’s gonna sign a 3 year deal in order to facilitate the trade because he would love to be in Pittsburgh. I know this is big speculation, but I heard what I heard.

Zion has only played 66 games in his NBA career. He has never had a full offseason or full training camp. He's basically still a rookie. Yet he is now averaging 26.0ppg on 66.5% TS this season.

Zion is shooting 62.7% from the field. For reference, Shaq only ever beat that mark ONCE, and that was in his final season in the NBA when he averaged 9ppg for the Celtics.

Zion ranks 8th in PPG and 6th in TS% in the entire league. Out of the top 50 players in the league in scoring, Zion is #1 in TS%.

Zion is having an absolutely incredible season scoring wise. And he's only 20 years old. It's nuts.
