Speaking of kickers, I did not before yesterday know that Sly, the Patriots kicker, who ended that game with a 68-yard attempt that was a yard short, has five misses this year inside of 30 yards. Five.
That's the only reason Pinero is now the most accurate kicker is because Justin Tucker has missed enough this year to make his percentage fall lower, closer to 89%.

The Will Levis commercial for mayonnaise looks less great when you're down 28 nothing. And you've got guys on your team doing sack dances down 28 nothing, which I'm not the joy police, but we can agree down 28 nothing. You got to mute the sack dance. No, just you got to. I mean, sacks are hard to get, but you're down 28 nothing. Do I have this wrong?

That's a good rule there. But I do feel like the joy police on this stuff. You guys say how many teams have done the flag planting fight thing? How many times has this now happened as we chronicle the dangers of, you know, kids over celebrating on the opposing field?

It seems to me a natural escalation that if you're going to make all of the war analogies and going to do all the stuff about we protect our house and stuff, that when somebody symbolically tries to flag plant on your field, that there's going to end up being some fighting involved. Like that seems like a natural escalation of everything we're doing out there.

It's very disrespectful. That passes in the Midwest for the highest form of insult, refusing to shake hands afterward.

Here's one of the things that I think about this, and I have a lot of thoughts about it, because it seems to me a natural escalation ofβand I know it's been happening for a long timeβ but these coaches having less control over these players than they would like to have over these players.

I saw a Shador Sanders commercial this week, and I don't know how many college football players are doing ads, but it's still startling to me to see a college football player doing a television commercial, and he's doing it for a team that spent the weekend dragging Oklahoma State and making fun of them every time they scored a a touchdown because they enjoy their celebrations in Colorado.

Oklahoma State, by the way, as bad a big program school I've seen playing football outside of perhaps Purdue and Florida State this season. Oklahoma State, winless in the conference, did not have a chance to complete a pass in that game. I'm sure they completed some, but it seemed like their receivers were always covered

in that game, and it seems like if you keep giving these players more and more power in these situations, you're gonna get more and more unruly behavior, not less. When the schools are fined whatever it was, $100,000, or the conference is fined $100,000, that's not gonna affect the behavior of the players at all.
