But now with a flagrant called on a common foul, starting to wonder about Big 10 interest in Michigan winning.
Maryland player gets second technical for taunting with a nine-point lead over #2 Michigan at start of second half. He’s out. He should be benched for a couple of games. GO TERPS! But don’t be counterproductive.

Die Hard is a Christmas movie—and in that spirit, I created an AI version of Hans Gruber and asked him his thoughts on the three lines of defense, how he’d approach ransomware in 2025, and which agency he’d least want chasing him: the CIA, FBI, NSA, or Cyber Command.

Within a minute or so, it’s now a one-point lead. The second technical was a ticky-tack taunt. But after the first one, how do you keep taunting???

Twice in four weeks, #Commanders coach Dan Quinn has called his team’s play “unacceptable.” He might consider expanding his vocabulary. Distasteful, objectionable, offensive and repugnant are all acceptable synonyms for future reference. My column

At the top of the list of play-calling priorities for the Commanders going into the Vikings game should have been to protect Jayden Daniels.

The only measure that mattered in this game for #Commanders was to get Jayden Daniels through it without getting hurt. Play calling failed to recognize that.

Visual metaphor for Commanders season: assistant standing on the sideline with a gigantic bag labeled “SPLINTS.” No, really.

The Commanders should forfeit to avoid further injury and insult.

The Commanders’ offense is tackling more than their defense.
Maybe someone tell Jayden Daniels not to try to tackle a defensive player following an interception when you’re recovering from a major injury — or at all when your team is 3-9 and getting its ass kicked by JJ McCarthy.
