This just in: Odell Beckham Jr. is ok. ---

The slo-mo on Odell Beckham’s catch on the 3 looked kind of questionable: after he stood up, he was holding the ball in one hand, with his fingers pointing downward, basically palming it near the end. On a damp day in Seattle, you just cannot hold a ball like that. I suspect the Giants of using some kind of glove dressing or other means of grip enhancement. ---

On a damp day in Seattle, you just cannot hold a ball like that. I suspect the Giants of using some kind of glove dressing or other means of grip enhancement. All Wide Receivers use a grip enhancement. Modern football gloves are far more effective than [stickum](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stickum) ever was – the surface, whatever it’s made of, just creates a crazy amount of friction with the surface of a football. [A demonstration](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhxcHmjbO_g). In my opinion it’s kinda bullshit. Amazing, one-handed catches happen literally every week in the NFL. Plays that are commonplace today, if made 30 years ago, would’ve gotten a player onto the highlight reels for a decade or two. I don’t know why the NFL allows these gloves, except perhaps that they just want more offense. ETA: Regarding Beckham specifically, I’m sure the ball was pretty dry. When it’s wet out they rotate the balls every couple of plays. ---

Rodgers is somewhere near the all time fantasy performance record in a half. I wonder if they’ll let him keep playing. He probably already set some sort of one half record. Nelson is doing pretty well himself in that regard. If I was the coach, I wouldn’t pull the starters. Against my rival, I’d shoot for 70-0. Crush their spirits and take their women. ---

This is… LOLOL…I need to wake up my kids to watch this. They need to bear witness to this historical night. I’m giving up on the fucking Bears. Although, our run D is pretty tight. All of the TDs have been passing TDs! ETA: I agree. I want GB to keep it floored. Want to see just how bad this can get with 60 minutes. ---

Did you see the kick Phil Dawson did to finish their game in OT? It sliced left then hooked right. I’m pretty sure he did that on purpose to foil any block attempts, cause he may be the greatest of all time kickers. I wish he was on the Browns for the fun this year. ---

Because, you know, da Bears were just ever so merciful to their opponents in SB XX. Fair is fair. ---

It was 14-0 when I turned on Walking Dead, and and I loudly guffawed when I flipped back to the game. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > Did you see the kick Phil Dawson did to finish their game in OT? It sliced left then hooked right. I’m pretty sure he did that on purpose to foil any block attempts, cause he may be the greatest of all time kickers. I wish he was on the Browns for the fun this year. It boomeranged. I’ve never seen a kick like that. Maybe the bartender at Buffalo Wild Wings turned on the wind generator to keep the game going. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > First Place Cleveland Motherfucking Browns. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ---

Fuck 'em. That’s three personal fouls against the Bears. Crush them. ---

> [@MOIDALIZE](#): > > It boomeranged. I’ve never seen a kick like that. Maybe the bartender at Buffalo Wild Wings turned on the wind generator to keep the game going. Phil has done that shot on the Browns before, it’s just hard to tell sometimes whether he’s doing a trick shot or he’s compensating for 50 mph winds. ---

No, I know he was this week. I’m saying that he’s made that kick before on the Browns, especially on short field goals, but he’s also made kicks on the Browns where he just had to aim way off to either side to compensate for the wind, so it’s not as clear if he’s doing a trick shot or not in a windy stadium.
