Seahawks 4th & 3: attempt 53 yard field goal

Ravens 4th & 2: go for it, touchdown

Coaching matters
From a few weeks ago. lol.
The Seahawks, trailing by 7 points in the 4th quarter, just punted on 4th & 4 from their own 44 for a touchback
There it is
Seahawks punt on 4th & 4 down 7, Ravens score FG on next drive to go up 10 with under 4 mins left. But good thing they punted!
And this isn't hindsight bias: that teams are too conservative on 4th downs is something the nerds have been screaming for like 15 years

Unless I'm missing something, this tweet doesn't make sense because if he doesn't sign the tag then he won't be playing any games at all
"They’ll only have him for another 16 games" is what would happen if he DID sign the tag, no long-term deal were reached, and he weren't tagged against next year.

So again, this tweet doesn't make sense
Note that this appears to be a change in strategy by Frank Clark's agent, who said this on the record in October 2018 espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Passing is more efficient than rushing, so why do NFL teams run so often? I'm going to run through some common answers to this question that have proven to be unsupported by data 1/
Explanation 1: a successful/high volume rushing game takes pressure off the QB, making it easier to pass efficiently.

@NathanE11 looked at this and found it's not true hawkblogger.com/2017/09/relati… 2/
Explanation 2: Running early leads to bigger runs or passes later in the game (the "establish the run" argument)

@SeanFromSeabeck looked at this and found it's not true fieldgulls.com/2018/1/3/16808… 3/

1. So my leading hypothesis on the Yahoo article today aligning Qanon with domestic terrorists... yeah.

After digging on Michael DeLeon, SAC at the time of the bulletin, @Jordan_Sather_ found that Wray removed DeLeon May 31, the very day after the bulletin was written...

...
2. Sean Kaul is now the sitting SAC at the Phoenix Field Office, appointed by Wray on the 8th of July 2019, a mere few weeks ago. ASSUMING (TRUST WRAY) is a white hat, its possible that DeLeon's team penned the bulletin with the INTENT of releasing it to Yahoo to damage Q.

...
3. We know the DS likes to leak to shoddy news sources such as Buzzfeed (FISA) so Yahoo is a natural inclusion.

Wray learns of this and "promotes" DeLeon out of position. Away from the leak. And then they plug it.

Until three weeks ago, when Kaul took the helm...

Lol can't believe I wrote a thing for Impose where I said that Levon Helm's 2008 Bonnaroo set was one of the best of his career. 20-year-olds are fucking stupid
...as if it was up there with like, any of The Band's tours with Dylan, or The Last Waltz or some shit. Anyway never read your old work. Never, ever do it. Keep yourself pointed straight ahead.
The stuff I wrote trashing Kanye West's Glow in the Dark Tour from that same Bonnaroo was also just spectacularly stupid--although in my defense, he *did* show up like 2 1/2 hours late...

Some early thoughts on @Reddit donuts...
A few weeks ago, donuts were created as “community points” on r/ethrader, where 204K+ subscribers discuss ETH news & price. Other subreddits were part of Reddit’s initial community points roll out: r/libertarian, r/stellar and r/mountainbiking
Community points are rewarded to users for their contributions to specific subreddits and give users voting power in polls and the ability to set the banner ad for the subreddit

[Post-Match Thread 9/3] #Spursvbarca #UCL

[Foreword]
I understand EV-Barça is pretty divisive among the fanbase like the man himself, and most people find it odd that I find them endearing. In the last year or so, this particular iteration of Barça and especially that of 17/18
has made me a student of the game in more ways than one. I am much better off for this epiphany; in the past, my opinions were usually wrong and I now have found more value in trying to understand why professionals don’t always do it the way we expect them to. The other half is
partially because I don’t wish upon any coach to inherit the state of the team Lucho left behind with a few more leaving days before the new season (this is all within context of Barça of course; any coach would find it an honor to coach this team).

Back in 2016, @jBenson wrote an in-depth article "Inside the Troubled Development of Star Citizen" for @Kotaku_UK

It gave a very inside look into the development which - my blogs aside - had all the warning signs that the project was FUBAR.

kotaku.co.uk/tag/inside-sta…
Prior to that, only The Escapist had come close to doing any sort of research into the project's demise.

@TheEscapistMag got threatened with legal action by CIG. That got settled, and the article was later removed. But we have archives

web.archive.org/web/2017011920…
That Benson article, had hints of how the Star Citizen "prototype" came to be, who helped create it etc.

It mentioned how Crytek devs like Sean Tracey, Paul Reindell and Hannes Appell became involved in the project.

It didn't go into Crytek's eventual extensive involvement
