“Brady is the GOAT, so I’m just trying to chase Brady’s success” I had the opportunity to talk to @Lj_era8 after he became just the 2nd unanimous MVP in NFL history. #NFL100 #NFLHonors #NFLMVP #LamarJackson #Ravens

⚠️ Warning: Long rant incoming. I’ve been waiting for someone in the national NBA media to address this, but apparently nobody wants to. Why was Luka Doncic’s first NBA Finals loss treated as proof that his style of basketball couldn’t win a championship, while Victor Wembanyama’s was treated as another step toward greatness? Luka averaged 29.2/8.8/5.6 against a 64-win Celtics team, and the national media spent the next two years questioning his defense, conditioning, leadership and whether his style of basketball could ever win a championship. Wemby loses 4–1 to a 53-win Knicks team, struggles down the stretch, and suddenly we’re reminded that even Jordan and LeBron needed time. It’s all about growth, valuable lessons and gaining experience. And this hypocrisy doesn’t end with the Finals. It carries directly into the MVP conversation. Luka’s individual brilliance is constantly filtered through questions about his defense, playing style, team success and whether he can actually win. Wemby’s brilliance is celebrated as evidence of what he’s becoming. His shortcomings are treated as things he’ll eventually overcome. One player has to constantly justify why he deserves an MVP. The other is talked about like winning one is inevitable. Nobody is asking for Wemby to be torn down. But why does one generational talent have to overcome a narrative the media created while the other gets the benefit of the doubt?

@NFLosophy How can you referee “intent” according to Mike Pereira? It is imposible to rule for “intent”. It is a backwards pass so it’s a live ball.

Todos los robos que lleva argentina en este mundial. Es incluso peor que lo de Catar. Aún no doy crédito con lo que está sucediendo 🇩🇿: Messi llegó tarde y golpeó con los tacos la pantorrilla de Aïssa Mandi. No recibió tarjeta y el VAR no intervino en una clara tarjeta roja 🇦🇹: Antes de un gol de Messi, Mac Allister hizo falta a Xaver Schlager y recuperó el balón. Austria pidió falta, pero el VAR mantuvo el gol. 🇨🇻: antes del 2-1 argentino, Tagliafico disputó la posición con Sidny Lopes Cabral, que cayó al suelo. El árbitro dejó seguir y el VAR no revisó en el monitor. 🇪🇬: el VAR anuló un gol egipcio por una supuesta falta cometida al comienzo de la jugada, a más de 80 metros de la portería argentina. 🇪🇬 Antes del 3-2: Egipto recibe un claro agarrón sobre Hamdy Fathy y una entrada de Julián Álvarez sobre Salah dentro del área. No se pitó penal y, poco después, Argentina marcó el gol ganador. 🇨🇭 El árbitro va al VAR a revisar un piscinazo de Émbolo en el centro del campo para sacar la segunda tarjeta amarilla. Algo nunca visto jamás desde que existe el vídeo arbitraje El resto de selecciones deberían de plantarse ante esto.
