Mahomes also over threw a wide open MVS and under threw Watson for a sure score. All in all it's probably a good thing that everyone stunk at the same time, instead of blowing several games one shitty play at a time. ( if they can fix it) [Reply]
I used to really not like Nick Jacobs, his podcast is bland and kind of a boring brand. But i really do like his takes and tape work. Now its just his face I dont like. [Reply]

I doubt Andy would appreciate it, besides it doesn't matter at this point. I'm sure Shawn Smith feels good about his power and how he held up the shield for the poor and disenfranchised Matt Ryan. [Reply]
The more I think about this the only thing that makes sense to me is that Jones must have said the n-word. Not calling Matt Ryan that obviously, but just dropped a n___a in the midst of trash talk. It would explain why nobody wants to explain what he said, because it would open up multiple cans of worms. [Reply]

I would wager that word gets used 100 times a game [Reply]

You’re right, it doesn’t matter now. But the perception is he cost his team the game.
If I’m in his shoes and I really didn’t say anything egregious, I’d be beyond pissed. And I’d want the world to know it, regardless of what the coach thinks.
It’s just weird. No one seems to want to say what it was that Jones said. [Reply]

Nah. Because if he called him "a soft ass bitch motherfucker" is that something that someone would share widely?
How does that even get communicated to the world? [Reply]

Probably, but it's technically a penalty. From this SI article from 2016:

To be clear I'm not defending the interpretation of the rule or anything, I'm just saying it fits. [Reply]
