The ESPN article mentioned by riboflav earlier mentions David Halberstein’s book The Education of a Coach, but should mention the 10,000 hour rule which in Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers theorizes that any skill can be mastered within 10,000 hours of correct practice. In applying the Phil...

Looking at the proposed domed Vegas stadium rendering posted by GF 09. Architecturally more pleasing to me than the University of Phoenix and Lucas Oil Field. Here are some things I would add. (j/k) Ability to open the roof and enhance the home field advantage during September games (95+...

Agree with Muppet’s order, when Hightower and Gronk are close to 100% they dominate. Good to see Eric Rowe on the field. Very surprised by the play of Elandon Roberts. Did not expect that from a 6th rounder.

I want to add to the fan base discussion earlier. Here is 2014 map of USA broken down by NFL fans. Could not find a newer one. I have lived in the upstate of SC prior to the Panthers being awarded a franchise. The next two sentences are anecdotal. At the time the two main fan bases in the...

Brady Bennett Run defense that held Crowell to 1.7 yards per carry

I agree with all you say on Levitt and Dubner. I also am aware of Russ Roberts bias and he admits them. I disagree with him on some issues also. What I like about the podcast is he lets his guest get their point of view across. If you read the comments section a few days after the podcast he...

Freakonomics is now a franchise. I read the first book, Freakonomics. Great read, innovative, controversial topics like crime rate drop because of legalized abortion. naming a child and more. Highly recommend. I read the next book, SuperFreakonomics, Easy read, more of the same, still good...

I stopped listening to the Freakonomics podcast when host Stephen Dubner linked A-Rod with DFG and said sports fans love cheaters who cheat to win. As to readers/viewers, I think with the salary cap, the economics of team construction is another variable and makes the NFL more interesting than...

I hope there is no additional burden on Clark County residential property tax payers. Nevada is one of the few states that has no state income tax on investment income including retirement income. Clark County has lots of retiree's (who moved there to avoid that tax), but their property tax is...

Special Teams (especially Ryan Allen) Jacoby LGBT BB the GM for adding tremendous depth on defense giving Hightower additional rest.

I’m just adding to IdiotKickers, dhappy42 and others posts. Great thread. Disney which owns ESPN has very high carriage fees ($7.04) which people are objecting too. That does not include the remaining ESPN, Fox Sports, Golf channels and other sports related programming. Cord-Cutters and...

And is a Walter Payton award winner.

Not a Dolphin's fan.

They ran a direct snap a few years ago with Kevin Faulk near the goal line. Two point conversion. It worked. I remember Brady saying that they practiced this in training camp but only ran it once that year. It appears they have some of these plays in their playbook.
