Deshaun Watson becoming the worst quarterback in NFL history (not an exaggeration) is the only current evidence in this country that karma might exist.

No sacks but that Stout hit left a mark. Stafford looked old as the game progressed, Niners’ coverage affected him too.
Stafford seemed like he had happy feet in the pocket.

• Deebo’s kickoff return was absolutely massive
• Kyle actually trusts his rookie RB
• 49ers’ defense was nails on third/fourth down
• Rams faded hard as the game progressed, might’ve read too much about how great they are

So much for the “businessmen” bragging on social media that after flying back and forth from LAX to Australia multiple times, they KNEW the Rams were making the smart choice to act like this was a trip to Vegas.

I had totally pushed Jed's whole "win with class" thing out of my head until @annkillion.bsky.social reminded me with her column today. It was ridiculous when he said it then, and it's somehow even more ridiculous now.

It's probably time to admit that Landen Roupp, who walks over 4 per 9 innings, isn't good.

"Straight-up, it just sucks." Can't say I've watched a ton of the Giants postgame shows this season (for obv reasons) but this is the first time I've seen Sergio Romo actually speak his mind about this disaster of a team.

Watching Haaland is like watching a youth game where one kid is a foot taller than everyone else and the parents are openly questioning whether they're in the right age group.

Pretty funny how multiple Fox analysts said before the game that Cape Verde had absolutely zero chance today against Argentina.

It’s not just the wiped-away goals and lengthy VAR reviews, but the refs seem like they live for calling offside. Enjoying those moments a bit too much, like a hall monitor writing up a tardy slip when you enter class 3 seconds after the bell rings.

MLB issues warning to Giants pitchers who wrote Bible verses on Pride Night caps (Gift Article)
Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker appeared in Friday's game with Bible verses written on their caps.

You know what? It’s true, they aren’t good at baseball. I wasn’t aware of this until now.
The giants could bench/trade/get rid of every pitcher that decided to make a statement and I guarantee you won’t see much of a change in their stellar 40% win rate

The Giants could've done the bare minimum to help people who feel marginalized feel a little better on Friday night. But a handful of pitchers thought that was too much. www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...
Giants pitchers’ Bible verses on Pride Night caps show how they’ve missed the point
To focus on the perceived sin, Landen Roupp and other Giants pitchers had to step over so much that they professed to believe.

This young Spurs squad is mentally strong. That quarter could've gone totally sideways. If they don't win this game, the only way they don't win a title next year is if Wemby gets hurt (duh)

Thunder crashing the glass is the story. Crushing the Spurs on every miss. 26-12 rebounding advantage is wild

The Giants seem like their pregame plan is to find different, more interesting ways to lose so they can avoid the conversation about hip thrusts by lousy outfielders.

When Luis Arraez was growing up on the outskirts of San Felipe, Venezuela, only one other MLB player had come from his area: Marco Scutaro. As another undervalued contact hitter who had to fight for a pro contract, Scutaro showed Arraez what was possible. Their story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...
Rainmakers: Marco Scutaro showed Luis Arraez what was possible for a kid from small-town Venezuela
Arraez grew up watching Scutaro, who believes in his fellow countryman: "The Giants will love him and he'll stay here for a while."
