Philip Rivers' winning record in one-possession games is misleading because he turns them into two-possession games at the end

Philip Rivers actually has a winning record in one possession games. The only way I can think of to explain that is he's had so many fourth quarter drives where he has been trailing by one possession, where he's thrown a pick six or an interception that's led to an easy six points or three points on the other end, which makes the final score a two possession game.

Opinion Football Medium Subjective

This is a satirical theory about how game margins work, though Rivers' reputation for back-breaking late interceptions is factual.

Luka Doncic is the best player of all time

Is Luka Doncic the best player of all time? Yes. I think so. I think he's going to be—he's really good. Of all time. He's crazy. 42 point triple double.

Hot Take Basketball Fire

Luka is a generational talent, but calling him the GOAT after one season is hyperbolic and currently incorrect.

Antonio Brown will return to the Patriots following his apology to Robert Kraft

Did you see that every single Patriot basically liked it? And he used a semicolon, which means there's a chance that someone wrote it for him, which means that it was like, hey, post this apology. And maybe you'll come back... do you guys think it's a coincidence that after the Patriots' offensive performance on Sunday that this all of a sudden comes very early the next week?

Prediction Football Hot

Antonio Brown never played for the Patriots again after his release in September 2019. He eventually joined the Buccaneers in 2020.

Philip Rivers' career is over

Philip Rivers is done. D-O-N-E, done. D-E-A-D, dead. It's over. I said to myself, this is sad. And I think it might be over. Because there's something about it that feels different. The arm is just not there. And it just can't. It will never come back.

Prediction Football Hot

Rivers played one more mediocre year with the Chargers and one solid final year with the Colts in 2020 before retiring. He wasn't 'dead' yet, but the end was near.
