I'm trying to figure out how Matthew Slater won the Bart Starr award, but Gronk got nominated for the Walter Payton award. I kind of though those awards had some kind of overlap on the qualifications.

The Starr Award has a religious component, I believe

Fully expect BB to exploit the downside of Bell's hesitation style
Absolutely. If anything, I think it works into Bill's hands. The Pats seem to have issues with guys who slam the hole as fast and as hard as they can, but guys who dance and try to make moves in the backfield get eaten up by the Pats pursuit.

Eli Rogers gives them a true consistent second wide threat and has been pretty important to their second half.

Thank god for federal holidays. And alcohol. And the half eaten buff chicken calzone I finished.
I forgot it was a federal holiday tomorrow because I have to work. How do we not all have MLK day off? I would really enjoy staying home and watching the Price is Right yodeler.

Didn't SF run it a few seasons back pretty regularly under Harbaugh, or is that something else?
Oh yeah, great call, absolutely. Little bit of Google-fu tells me they used it 11 times December 9th, 2012, with 6 of those after a play fake, and to benefit Kaep's running abilities, to compliment him with LaMichael James. Interesting that Greg Roman ran it, because as much as I have my issues with it at the NFL level, Roman remains one of my most underrated offensive minds.

Have they even mentioned that Bell already has like 160 yards rushing? What's the post-season single game record?
248, Eric Dickerson, 1/4/1986 against the Cowboys.

Thought Ben wasn't getting up there. Love to see Earl Thomas' tweets if Landry Jones started in Foxboro.

Production quality is way down these days. Barker in the 80s was that show's prime. Drew does ok, but the increased commercials cut into air time making the show feel rushed. Also the new trends like big wheel callouts and the selection of nutter contestants make the show unwatchable at times. Not that I watch it much.
