@thepressboxpod @bryancurtis @DavidShoemaker @brianhwaters p.s. a couple of historic strained pun headlines.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

Hey, @thepressboxpod, @bryancurtis, @DavidShoemaker, & @brianhwaters, thanks for shouting out my “only in journalism” bracket a few weeks ago. Found one for the 2025 bracket from the Hollywood Reporter. Bonus pro wrestling tie-in! #unseemly

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

+1…and in an NFL context, teams too.

[Tangotiger 🍁 @tangotiger]

Comparing players by using only facts is the least factual thing you can do

Data exists in a vacuum, in space.

Analysis takes that data, adds a level of subjectiveness in a systematic, unbiased, consistent approach, and brings it down to Earth

Mike’s been one of the best in the biz for donkey’s years. Support him, dammit!

Thrilled to introduce my very own corner of the Internet: the Too Deep Zone. NFL coverage for poets, drunkards and dreamers.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

I’d be a lot more confident about the 49ers winning on Sunday if either Robert Saleh or DeMeco Ryans were still their DC. Lock of the century is Pacheco over 67.5 rushing yards.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

@thepressboxpod @bryancurtis @DavidShoemaker @brianhwaters 👍 plaudits to @NoraPrinciotti for explaining her repeated use of “metier,” which I’ll now also add to the 2025 bracket.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

Guess we’re not calling pick plays in this one.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

Bump.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

in wild card gms involving home dogs since 2002, the pick per @pfref's SRS is 14-6 SU (70%) & 14-5-1 ATS (73%), which are both higher than their overall wild card pick results (63% SU; 57% ATS). esp crushing since 2012. this week, SRS's picks are CLE SU, HOU ATS, TB SU & ATS.

@Rich_Fann If anyone’s unexpectedly gonna run the gauntlet like Kofi Kingston, it’s KC.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

@Rich_Fann Congrats, Rich! Spagnuolo beats a Shanahan offense once again. Dreading the thought of seeing KC against my Niners in February.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

@ScottFeldman Oh they did. It was a yeoman’s effort for sure. I’m talking about what should have been the strategy going into the game.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

Sneaky important factor in this result was McDaniel deferring. You’re running shanahan’s offense. You literally never won a game in SF when down in the 4th quarter for a reason. Take the ball and try to get a lead.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

@ScottFeldman …not to mention half their starting D was out, including both of their best pass rushers and one of their top CBs. You have to know you’re going to be giving up points.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

@ScottFeldman all the more reason to try to get a lead and then show your chops as a run game coordinator, which is what he was in SF. as a MIA resident, this was the first team in my lifetime to actually be built for conditions like this.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

…based on today and my vast dynasty investment in stroud, it’s official. My Niners-adjacent AFC team is the Texans.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

Obligatory #LOLphins. And to think I was actually rooting for them against my better judgment due to their myriad SF connections.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

@thepressboxpod I’d like to cash in my plaudits to convey I was gobsmacked @DavidShoemaker didn’t make the obvious Kevin Dunn/Norby Williamson comparison. Both are/were central figures in many internecine battles as administrative bulwarks against the Wild Wild West of talent.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

@seigelm @thepressboxpod Thanks! I’m properly chuffed!

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

So much for officiating-induced home-field advantage there.

[Danny Tuccitto @IR_DannyT]

Congrats to @StephStradley and @riversmccown!
