NFL catch rules are bullshit after the Zach Miller non-touchdown

I am still so fucking mad about Zach Miller and that catch that wasn't a catch that was a catch. And I know, I know that this is, you know, the Calvin Johnson rule... but this is fucking bullshit. And it's the reason why, even though I love sports, I hate sports... I was that mad that Zach Miller broke his leg for nothing.

This is a subjective opinion on the quality of NFL rules, though the play is widely cited as one of the worst applications of the catch rule.

The Eagles are the team to beat in the NFL

I'm crossing off the 49ers while simultaneously in ink, circling the Eagles and saying they might be the team to beat.

The 2017 Eagles finished 13-3 and won Super Bowl LII.

A Vikings vs. Eagles NFC Championship would result in nuclear war

If it's the [Vikings] and the Eagles in the NFC Championship game, that's when the nuclear war is going to happen... They're never going to get experience joy.

The Vikings and Eagles did play in the 2017 NFC Championship Game. The world did not end in nuclear war, though the Eagles won 38-7.

More than 80% of Major League pitchers doctor the baseball in some way

What percentage of non-athletics pitchers in general do you think are doctoring the ball in some way, shape, or form? I would say probably somewhere in the north of 80%... In terms of guys that just like that would use pine tar or something of that nature.

The subsequent 2021 'Sticky Stuff' scandal and MLB's mid-season crackdown confirmed that the vast majority of pitchers were using substances like Spider Tack and pine tar to increase spin rates.

The Oakland Athletics can go deeper in the playoffs this season than they did last year

There's no reason that the Oakland A's, there's no reason that the Oakland A's can't make a run deeper into the postseason than they did last year... Matt Olsen very well could lead the league in home runs. Baseball. Fuck the league. Baseball. He very well could lead baseball in home runs.

The A's missed the playoffs entirely in 2021, and Matt Olsen hit 39 home runs (short of the 48 hit by Salvador Perez and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.).
