This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.
Post being replied to
AP sports writer: "By my count, since NFL changed OT rules by G.K.Chesterton
in 2012, team that starts first has a 60-51-7 record after today. But four of the six playoff games that have gone to OT under new rules ended with a TD on first possessions." (I'm combining two tweets by the author.)
QBs who didn't get on the field in the playoffs in OT include the following:
Aaron Rodgers doesn't see the ball in 2014 (NFC title game debacle).
Aaron Rodgers doesn't see the ball in 2015 (nobody covers Fitzgerald).
Matt Ryan doesn't see the ball in 2016 (Falcons blow 28-3 lead).
Patrick Mahomes doesn't see the ball in 2018 (Edelman and Burkhead).
