The PI call? Higgins' second TD should have been called back, so it was a makeup call at worst.

Your name is fitting. they were letting hand fighting and ticky tacky **** go all night and Logan made a play on the ball that was horrific. Not to mention the clear as day false start on that play as well.

Good game like hoped/expects. The calls at the end were whatever — I guess inevitable — but the Bengals got the ball back with enough time to go score, and that was a fitting ending with Darnold obliterating them on back-to-back plays.

Congrats to the Rams and good run by the young Bengals.

Yes that’s true too they had time and both coaches I thought we calling the game kind of poorly.

Super Bowls used to almost always be blowouts. The first Patriots win was, at that time, pretty much the first close Super Bowl I then remembered.

Since then, a lot of Super Bowls have been close.

Speaking of Super Bowls, I watched the infamous Garo Yepremian play on live TV at the time:

Cs went undefeated, but look at DDR's numbers lol. Siakam put up 29/10/6 on 70/39/50 splits. So many great performances any given time (Embiid 33/15/6, Giannis 31/11/8, Tatum 27/7/4) then about 5-7 players who have been consistent most of the season.

Wish Knicks and Wizards weren't such a mess themselves. It would be really nice if the Nets didn't make play-in lol.

Go Kings! Schadenfreude is so satisfying.

Looks like the Bucks are going to lose tonight. I'm starting to get crazy thoughts about maybe snagging that 4th seed. Could be a fever dream.

Some good results for us today potentially.
Hopefully Pelicans & Blazers can keep their lead. Be nice if the Kings (although unlikely) & Spurs can get wins today too.

Fingers crossed we can win our last 2 games before the all-star break.

De'Aaron Fox is either not the player he was hyped to be or the Kings have ruined him.

Even the third seed is in play. Unlikely, but it's in play.

LOL at Harden saying he'd opt into his deal for next season and then not actually doing so.

It is and it isn't.. Still think Simmons makes the Nets better vs disgruntled Harden.. They will play better now IMO. Good thing the Nets won't Kyrie for so many games.
