This is amazing stuff about how much the online MAGA movement originates from Russian bot farms. We all sensed it. Now we have cause and effect.

I’ve seen enough people ask that I’ll break down the math.
Brandon Aubrey XP%: 97%
NFL average 2Pt rate: 48%
Key assumptions: You score twice and get stops. OT win probability is 50%
If you kick the XP twice, you have a 95% chance of sending game to OT, 50% chance of winning in OT. 47.5% chance at winning the game.
If you go for two:
Get first, kick XP on second and win in regulation: 46.6% of time, win 100%
Get first, miss XP and go to OT: 1.4% of time, win 50%
Miss first, get second and go to OT: 24.9% of time, win 50% of time
Miss first and second 2-Point: 27.6% of time, guaranteed loss
By going for two, your win probability jumps to 59.8% chance.
So if you guarantee me we get two scores and two stops, you’ll win ~47% of the time kicking extra points, and ~60% of the time going for two.
The reason it doesn’t jive with coaches/fans is because delaying a loss feels psychologically advantageous… but losing in OT vs losing in regulation is the same result

Imagine being a kid and dying of measles, a disease we completely eradicated 27 years ago… because your parents watch Fox News and are as dumb as a fucking dickhead with a dickheaded brain

This should outrage every American. This is the president of the United States telling Iran to bomb American cities. I live in Los Angeles, but that’s beside the point. Tommorow it could be your city.
My fellow Americans, this is not normal. This is not funny. This behavior should ring alarm bells for us all!

You always go for two when you go up five after a TD. Not smart. And just admit it was a dumb move and move on with your life.
P.J. Fleck: I don't chase points. If anybody knows me, this isn't a secret. Here I'm giving you inside what I think. Jim Tressel taught me a long time ago. Never chase points. I never go for two until the fourth quarter. Period.

Preach
first they were like "yeah we need to fire that general manager because of these bad draft picks," and the vikings were like "yeah sure. we agree. he's now fired because of that." and then they were like, "well wait, the GM is in charge of all draft picks but what if the head coach actually picked mccarthy himself? this is sus." and then the vikings signed kyler murray for $1.3 mil and he later won the training camp battle, and they were like, "how did murray win that battle? mccarthy couldn't complete passes in the preseason games but there may still be a conspiracy here." and then they saw the mccarthy trade and were like, "why did the QB3 get traded for a 5th-round pick?" and then the final straw might have been the vikings' 3-0 start, when they saw the undefeatedness and were like, "o'connell's team and this 3-0 start ... this is no longer sustainable."
Bring back the original dome dog and I’ll go to 3-5 games easy which is 3-5 more than I will without it!
How to save #mntwins baseball:
1. Bring back Dick Bremer at whatever it costs.
2. Air every Sunday game on local TV.
3. Reintroduce the @HormelFoods “Dome Dog” and call it the Dome Dog.
4. Move Twins Fest to US Bank stadium and make it special again.

Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma are the reason the NFL needs to offer alternate audio feeds.
Give me a fan feed.
Give me the crowd noise.
Give me literally anything else.

Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been blindsided this badly since Shailene Woodley told him her plans before they got married.

If they don’t play this in the Ole Miss locker room pregame, that will be a travesty.

If this is actually the rule, it's the dumbest thing ever. A QB can throw a pass backward and it's considered a fumble. But if he's getting tackled and it goes backward it's incomplete?
1. How as this never happened before?
2. Stupid. Kill it with fire.
