DeAndre Hopkins is second in total receiving yardage this season, 45 yards behind Stefon Diggs in one fewer game with six fewer catches. 861 yards on 67 catches with the best catch percentage on targets of anyone in the top six.
A little bit late on the picks this week, apologies for that... though still not as late as Nevada polling results.
Todd Gurley with the accidental touchdown, trying to stop himself from falling into the end zone but the ball just edging over the plane as he hit the deck and defensive players started signalling for the score against them.
Greetings, fair squires, and may golden horses carry you. Since you’re still above ground, here’s a bit of a treat to put some lead in your pencil. It’s the fifth annual edition of an old favourite.
Right back at it with the Thursday night stuff and in true TNF fashion it’s a game that literally nobody outside the fans of the two teams will be looking forward to. The NFC East strikes again.
Four undefeated teams remain after five weeks. The Seahawks, the Packers, the Steelers... and the Tennessee Titans, who thoroughly dispatched of the previously undefeated Buffalo Bills in that delayed Tuesday night game.
We’re now at the end of the first quarter of the game that is this season. Four games out of 16 for the majority of the teams. A quarter of the way through... and the Falcons still don’t have a win.
Three weeks in and things are starting to make sense. Outlier performances are being levelled out, teams have had time to adjust to the lack of a proper preseason, what we’re seeing now is the truth.
If there was one overriding theme of week two... it was the injuries. Even as some pretty entertaining early games were unfolding the tally of injuries was starting to overshadow things. Some star players too, it was rough.
Tom Brady lost a game (oh no), Sir Purr became a household name, Carson Wentz did some weird stuff, Ron Rivera did some inspirational stuff, holding penalties were down, Russ was allowed to cook, Cam Newton watched The Mask… now we await what week two has to offer.
Welcome back friends. Welcome back Romans. Welcome back countrymen. The strangest NFL season in living memory is upon us.
While the Nets just hired a new head coach, the Thunder have agreed to let theirs go. Billy Donovan departing by mutual consent at the end of his contract after five years with the franchise.
Well now. It may have snuck up on us thanks to a global pandemic and the subsequent lack of a preseason, not to mention a million other distractions in the seventh layer of hell that is the year 2020... but the NFL season is about to start.
The situation that the Brooklyn Nets find themselves in, the situation that it’s Sean Marks’ job to find a way out of, has been very well documented. That comes with the territory of the situation itself.
Before game one, Charles Barkley said on the telly preview that he thought Steven Adams would average 20 & 20 against the Rockets, he was too big and nobody could guard him, basically. Fast forward to the end of the series and he averaged 10.1 points and 11.6 rebounds.
From sturdy veterans to potential breakouts to exciting prospects the Aussie NBL is gonna be stacked with kiwis yet again and it goes far beyond the tantalising haul at the Breakers too
There’s been such a buzz (in Thunder circles at least) about the prospect of a fully rested Steven Adams after lockdowns and what a boost that could give this team. First few games we saw an energised and aggressive Kiwi Steve and it felt obvious that the break had indeed done him good.
Doings remain afoot at Breakers HQ, as two-time All-NBL First Team wingman Lamar Patterson has signed a one-year deal with the club to fill the first of their two import slots.
One of the main reasons that Steven Adams is such a beloved character in Aotearoa is that despite how embedded he is in the high-stakes world of National Basketball he still just seems like a down to earth kiwi fella.
You could be forgiven for thinking the NBL season had only just begun but we’re actually almost down to the chocolate-chunk at the bottom of the trumpet cone. That’s the nature of a shortened season, five weeks of regular stuff and then a week of playoffs and we’re done.
