I can’t say I’m particularly surprised that the oldest team in the NFL isn’t great on short against the Packers #Commanders

Good for Rory. It must’ve been crushing to miss the putt on 18. Coming back and hitting a perfect drive, and the sticking it 3 ft from the pin is an incredible response. Wow.

It’s a shame the Nats’ bullpen wasted such a gem from Gore. Bummer of a start to the season. #Nats

PSV is… not very good.

Guessing that no one had 5 goals on their bingo card in this one 👀 #PSVARS #Arsenal

The only sporting event that I can compare this to in terms of surprise over the degree of beatdown is Germany 7-1 over Brazil. But at least Brazil scored.

I guess my take away from tonight is that the Washington Commanders were the second best team in the league this season.

Also, please ban the Tush Push already. Make a rule against pushing players forward from behind the line of scrimmage. It’s anti-entertainment.

Well, it was a game until the 3rd fumble. Go again next year.

Daniels is unflappable. Getting points there might mean nothing for this game — not very confident in the defense — but bodes well for longer term success. This kid is special.

Can’t turn the ball over and expect to win games in the playoffs. Tale as old as time and the difference in this one.

Tonight we get to find out if Ohio State is the best team this year that got beat by Michigan, or if Lou Holtz was right, and they don’t have cajones.

Victory. Formation.

Booooo. Should’ve gone for it.

This is stunning. I know Detroit is missing a million defensive players, but could not have even imagined a Washington performance like this. Finish it. #RaiseHail #Commanders

Mikey Sainristil. Stand. Up. #RaiseHail

Well, at least the Nittany Lion fans won’t have to watch their team lose to Ryan Day and Ohio State again #cfp

No one wants a chatbot on their tv. No one. They will sell these TVs in spite of these features. 🫠

There was contact but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that clash of heads given as a penalty before. #BHAARS

Well this doesn’t seem to be much of a matchup — Penn State got the most favorable draw in this playoff imaginable. Seems like they’ll be onto the semis…

Jayden Daniels is surrounded, outside of a few key guys, by absolute mediocrity, and he’s just led that group to 11+ wins. So impressive it kind of leaves one speechless.

Ball don’t lie I guess?

That’s a joke of a penalty call. Sorry.

Alabama must be so mad right now.

Shame that JD was off on those McLaurin deep shots. Hit on 2 of those 3 passes and the game is out of sight. Survive and move to next week. Learn some lessons, and get better. This team are fun but not yet ready to really contend yet. #RaiseHail

I’m baffled as to why the Saints didn’t challenge that completion before that FG re-do to start the 4th. The ball clearly seemed to hit the ground there. I’ll take it? #RaiseHail

Disappointing

Lots of strange things in politics these days, but the war on vaccines remains and will always be the strangest.

Gosh, #Arsenal really are having a season w/very little luck. Fulham’s goal was well taken, but FFS, maximum punishment again.

Wait, college kickers make 56 yarders now?!?

It doesn’t matter the prize, but it feels like a James Franklin coached team will always finish 2nd. Classic coulda, woulda, shoulda team — every year.

What a second half. The sheer dominance on corners is something to be hold. That could’ve been 4 or 5. #arsenal

"If this were American sport, Bukayo Saka’s slow trot to the corner flag would see ‘We Will Rock You’ sounding over the stadium tannoy with Arsenal fans clapping and stamping their feet in unison." This is exactly what we would do. And we would love it.🔴⚪ arseblog.com/2024/12/abso...

Much better showing by the #Commanders today against admittedly poor competition. Hopefully they can find 2 more wins in their last 4 and find their way into the playoff mix #RaiseHail

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Pep quit before the end of the season.

Has Manchester City’s transfer business the last 4 years outside of Haaland actually been garbage?

Another reflection on JMU’s season: With injuries to a few key *trusted* guys, the play-calling got more vanilla. This could reflect lack of playbook familiarity for depth guys, lack of trust in some of the depth to execute, or simply a more conservative approach. Either way, it was noticeable.

Disappointing end to the season for JMU, but zooming way out, this was a team that lost 10-11 starters and its coach to Indiana (who finished with one loss and will likely make the playoffs). An 8-4 follow-up up where they were competitive in every game (😭) isn’t the worst thing. #GoDukes

Jobi Malary has impressed tonight for the #JMUDukes. Hard, north/south running. Good recipe for the cold weather!

Woof.

Ok Dukes — strong 1st half. Let’s finish this one strong. #GoDukes #JMU

Some really nice light this chilly afternoon on the mall downtown. DC can be a really pretty setting.

Nice start for the JMU Football Dukes tonight. Keep the football and the momentum, fellas. #GoDukes

With 10 assisted and five scored, Bukayo Saka has had a direct hand in more Premier League goals this season than Manchester United (13).

Well that was some half. #WHUARSE

This West Ham-Arsenal match is in danger of becoming a ref show.

Gabriel is just such a weapon on corners, and #Arsenal really know how to find/create space for him.

this moment in these jerseys... absolute cinema

It’s weird how this Caps team keeps coming back and winning. They are strikingly resilient.
