Yeah, it’s so obvious that this is something they’ve... cooked up to try and win pens Ballard initiates the contact, and then when the defender instinctively grabs on, he goes to ground Fair play, it fooled the refs in the Arsenal game. It just clearly shouldn’t be a pen 😂show more

•The false start call on John Michael Schmitz. •The... non-call for pass interference to Wan’Dale Robinson. •The non-call for pass interference on the final play of the game in the end zone. I’m not one to blame officials for losing games, but when it’s obvious, sometimes, it does need to be pointed out. Like the non-pass interference call to Darren Waller in the Week 6 game vs the Bills that ended the game. That was as blatantly bad as it got. In the Giants 33-25 loss yesterday to the Eagles, the officials were pretty bad to where several non-calls were that obvious. “I think there were some flags that could have been thrown, but that is not our place. That is not fair. If it’s a call, call it. It shouldn’t be a last-play mentality. If it’s a call, and if it’s blatant, then it should be called. It should be honored like it is the first play of the game.”- Giants QB Tyrod Taylor. “I’d say, any official questions, you can ask those guys.”- Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who clearly looked angry when he entered the press conference room, probably knew he’d get a massive fine if he said what he wanted to, so he kept it simple.show more

Caitlin Clark misses layup, then hits Jackie Young in... the face. Her usual antics. The refs review it and keep it a foul on Jackie. Caitlin Clark then pleads with the refs to give Jackie Young a flagrant 1, when clearly Caitlin makes contact with Jackie’s face first.show more

Ingraham: Yeah, this was something to behold. This is... after the big build up Trump is unhinged. He played too much music at a rally. Then he goes up there and he just stuns everybody in that place.show more

This has been credited as a Barry foul on... Ballard. It is clearly the Gueye foul on Mukiele. The flag is up but the referee clearly blows for a foul and no offside is credited. Just sort it out the standard of opta in the absolute bin right now. OptaJoe Opta Analyst This is not a fucking Barry foul on Ballard.show more

DeForest Buckner continues to be a menace on and... off the field 😂 Here, he collects on his bet on the Oregon-Penn State game with Penn State grad and VP of Communications Matt Conti. And then to make it funnier, GM Chris Ballard gets in on it.show more

Saquon Barkley said that Jalen Hurts saw something during... the game that led to this play: “To be honest, we kind of drew that one up. Jalen saw something and asked me if I wanted to run it. I said yeah. Jalen called it and he made it work.” #Eaglesshow more

I don't know why this flea flicker lateral is... so funny to me. Herbert is so clearly overthinking it, like a short putt you KNOW you're gonna miss. He totally hooks it, and it just kinda hangs in the air while he watches it. And then the ending. Just a stupid, fun play.show more

Netanyahu: "Anti-Semitism always collapses societies." "It starts with the... Jews, then it goes to the Blacks, then it goes to the Gays, and then it goes to the Hispanics and so on," he says in a cringe attempt to modernize Martin Niemöller's "First they came for the X" poem.show more

Suns' Dillon Brooks on picking up his 16th technical... foul last night, which will make him suspended for the next game if it stands: "I had a ref tell me that I play the victim, so I ain't talking no more about that." "He literally said that to you? Was that James [Williams]?" DB: "Yeah. He said I'm playing victim all the time. And when I don't play victim, I'm the bad guy. Choose one. ... If you're going to be consistently bad, then be consistently bad throughout the whole game. Don't try to fix it during the game. Don't trying to be doing any of that or try to even out foul calls or whatever it may be. If you're going to be bad, be bad the whole game." (via Hayden Cilley)show more

note: about the comment, i just want to add... that it’s not something the person that commented made up and there’s no malicious intent in it. it’s a nickname that kai and the members use to refer to his 553 era so that’s what the comment was referencing and they were saying that he was cute then too since he might have not thought so (⬇️ although the ‘to do’ english subs translated it as something different)show more

Another insane SGA flop. There is no way this... is a foul in the NBA let alone a foul in the playoffs where “it’s supposed to be more physical.” Shai goes into MvDaniels and flops. It’s obvious. Doris saying “idk how he finishes this play” lol there was no contactshow more

yk something i found very endearing about the wsn... confetti video is how sn smiles when they hold hands, how wy goes for the confetti when he sees sn trying to catch it and how he keeps trying to grab it until it reaches the floor and how sn pickes it up once it's on the ground+show more

I'd like to be in the #Panthers WR film... room on this play. I am curious if the sentiment is either: "Great play by the Saints D to blow up our play design" -or- "TM4 you have to take the contact there." I honeslty have no idea, but it's fair to say with the trigger happy refs it would have likely been a flag.show more

Netanyahu: “Antisemitism always collapses societies, because it starts with... the Jews and then it goes to the Blacks, then the gays , then the Hispanics and so on, and you just collapse societies.” Why is he using minorities as a shield for Zionism?show more

Everyone is talking about this video, but I think... this is two people trying to avoid each other and Conner just making a mistake at the shortstop position. The slide is clearly off the base and then he comes clearly off the base to meet the slide. I think he had it pre-decided in his mind that he was going to try to avoid a direct slide and they just ended up at the same place. I could be wrong unless the shortstop is trying to get some sort of obstruction or interference call #raisethecone #pittsburg #Pirates #Raysup #Tampa #Mlbshow more

Look at Eddie Howe trying to go to win... from the off against Man City with Newcastle. 3-0 down in 30 minutes, Rosenior spoke facts here, if he did that and Arsenal scored. It's game over early, kept Chelsea in the game, put attackers on to try win it at the end. Came up short.show more

Riccardo Calafiori on being asked to play further forward:... "I think it depends on each game, and of course I can help the team that way, but first of all, I'm a defender, so we just keep going on like this, I try to help the team."show more

OptaJoe Orbinho Opta Analyst This foul was initially given... to Dalot, and then given to Conceicao (whose sliding challenge clearly makes no contact with Kvaratshkelia). It is more than obviously Dalot’s contact that the foul is given for, please amend this, it should mean that Dalot ends the game on 2 fouls.show more

The discourse around the Eze penalty last night is... fascinating. If nothing else it provides Arteta with an excuse as to how his team has been hard done by and robbed. He loves excuses. It’s a fascinating situation because I actually think the right outcome was reached albeit through the wrong process. Once given on the field under the current rules it shouldn't have been overturned. For that Arsenal can feel aggrieved. Don't forget Arsenal were the beneficiaries of an incredibly soft penalty in Leverkusen. It wasn’t overturned. I find the attached video interesting because it clearly shows how minimal the contact is. The defender doesn’t pin Ezes foot to the ground. Doesn’t smash into it. It brushes down the side of it. It’s where the still pictures of it were wildly misleading. Are we really saying that contact such as that is worthy of a penalty? What’s clear in the video is that Eze has absolutely made the most of the slight contact. I love the straight left leg. A very natural position. It’s a brilliant dive and normally it would have been rewarded. By saying that is a stone wall penalty all we are doing is encouraging such theatrics and cheating. Whenever you hear the words “that was clever” by a commentator they are intimating the player has cheated/made the most of it. We complain about refs all the time but what chance do they have when players are doing stuff like this. Until players are punished properly there is no disincentive for players to keep doing this stuff. I also find it fascinating when you have a foot brushed like this. When you compare it to all the holding/pushing/grappling at other times. Sometimes a contact sport and others not. Is this really what football has become?show more
