    Hill is a fantastic player and a terrible person.

    Chris Meyers would make any event worse. It is fortunate for our country he was not on air during the 9/11 bombings.

    Some of that was the Falcons playing poorly, such as the snap bouncing off a man in motion, but give the Steelers some credit, too. They got tremendous pressure all day even with the officials wiping out two strip sacks by Watt. (One was a good call. The other? I don't think so, but it was very close.)

    So much for big changes in the Pittsburgh offense. They did enough to win, but once again, they were under 20 points.

    I agree, but I don't see why that gesture proves the second point.

    Dolphins had just crossed the "field goal range" line with a minute left (meaning a 55-yarder). Didn't even try to seriously advance the ball afterward. Couple of runs up the middle. 3 yards. Let the clock run down.

    There's no way I would be comfortable with just settling for a 52-yarder without even making an effort to get it closer. I grew up in the era of defensive linemen doubling as kickers.

    But the kicker nailed it to win it. After Vanderjagting one earlier in the game.

    My Bengals should be just fine but the opening to every season is torture. Now 1-8 in the first two weeks of the season, last five years.

    How is Dak Prescott worth $60 million a year?

    What is this? Whenever I think of games in Cleveland, it's always in the 40s, overcast and some snow along the fences.

    Why has a major political party nominated Trump for President? Some questions simply can not be answered in life.

    I don't think the Giants needed to wear ugly uniforms to remind of the NFL in the 1920's and 1940's was necessary. Watching their offense is enough of a reminder.

    If football was run like baseball, they'd be looking for ways to eliminate field goals from outside the 40.
