VAR Has One Job, And It's Failing Miserably At It: The most common complaint against VAR—or any form of video review in sports—in one of aesthetics. If referees insist on stopping the game for several minutes to double check every key play, the thinking goes, all the drama and intensity and emotion of the biggest moments will be lost, and the celebrations of fans will be replaced by hesitance and trepidation while they wait to confirm that what they just saw with their own eyes actually happened. It’s a fine argument, one that at least a strong minority of sports fans would agree with. But most leagues around the world have chosen to ignore it. If the game gets delayed for a bit, they’ve decided, that’s okay, because it’s a small price to pay to avoid controversy and make sure officials are making an objectively correct call.

They've also hosted 5 AFC Championship Games in a row. I agree that the Patriots and Brady are in another class, but Kansas City is remarkably consistently dominant.

That's an interesting suggestion. My guess is there's no rule against it, but the players either didn't think of it or weren't in position.

Oh, I thought EBUG was going to be some sort of hockey riff on EGOT. Very cool that the Oilers were like "Let's get this kid on the ice."

I did the opposite of Bender, as I went from the Costanza around the mid way point to finishing third (but still 100 or so points behind, so in no real danger of winning/lol.)
It corresponded with the Jaguars beginning to win, so look out next year, as I won't have that automatic loss each week.
What can I say, as a Titans fan, my epic fall from contention ran right alongside theirs. It seems there were points for one of us at a time, but not both, Jags.
Congratulations, Truth! Holding the top spot for 2/3 of the season is quite impressive.

Man, there was a time when I was top score for a week or two and well up near the top of the standings. That sure has eroded over the past several weeks.

Report: Bears Trading No. 1 Pick to Panthers
The Bears, of course, already have their Ohio State QB, so they could move themselves out of the way of others in line. And at quite the hefty price!
