If Mexico scores five runs tonight, no matter whether they win or lose the game, that would ensure the U.S. will advance out of pool play in the WBC.
But it cannot be announced that way at that moment if Mexico scored 5 runs, because it's not a 100% certainty.

@joshnewmantweet @SidKhurana3607 They actually came from Acadia, Canada, just east Maine. The English forced them out via the Great Expulsion and they moved to Louisiana. There their name Acadian morphed into Cajun.

@SidKhurana3607 Are there really people still speaking French in Louisiana? Or is that data a result of Haitians speaking French Creole?

@NerdingonNFL What is crazy to me here is the 11 game gap between ATL & TB right where you would expect a big concentration of teams. In fact you could fit 8 AFC teams in the gap.

It has to be so much more fun to play QB when Mike Evans is on your team

@HarleyHippoCFB @ESPN_BillC I thought that at first too, but I think they should add up to 1.0 with the extra 0.6 being Miami sneaking in. Which also sounds too high for me.

Using the blend of SP+ CFP odds and Playoff Predictor odds that I've been referencing in columns for a while...

Yikes.

@GeorgeC5551191 @zwickeak @FB_FilmAnalysis Illegally is as the consequence of a penalty. In this case there was no illegal contact because the QB was out of the pocket.

@1Smoothie @zwickeak @FB_FilmAnalysis What is the nfl rulebooks explanation for legally vs illegally being forced out?
English
Kyle Hamilton has Cook in man and subtly pushes him out of bounds so he can't legally come back and be the first to touch the ball
Then he zones off knowing he doesn't have to worry about Cook and pick off the 2-point pass
English
@zwickeak @FB_FilmAnalysis Not in the NFL, in college, yes.
NFL Rulebook Rule 8, Section 1, Article 8 (b):
first touches or is caught by an eligible offensive receiver who has gone out of bounds, either of his own volition or by being legally forced out of bounds and has reestablished himself inbounds...
English
@FB_FilmAnalysis I believe if you push a man out he has a right to reestablish in bounds with 2 feet and is then eligible. Which is also why that 2 pt conversion should have counted…
English
@bflony66 @Rate_the_Refs The QB still needs to be in the pocket for it to be illegal contact.
English
@Rate_the_Refs The issue I have is why wasn’t this illegal contact? But it was a smart play on the defender and he got away with it so that’s that.
English
The Bills 2 pt conversion is taken back because Coleman stepped out of bounds. It clearly looks like he was pushed out
English
@ClarkHELLSCREAM How does this work with Elusive? Can neither selection target or is it just the first choice? Converting a wisp into Tortolla would be nice.

there has to be... SOMETHING we can do with this card, right?

@Super70sSports The underrated aspect of this is that Gaylord Perry took the bat from the ump to prevent testing.

Today in 1983, George Brett is called out at Yankee Stadium after a clutch upper deck homer off Goose Gossage when Billy Martin points out he (technically) had too much pine tar on his bat. As you might recall, that bullshit did not sit well with George.

I’m introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release or dispersion of stupidity into Congress
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸@FmrRepMTG
I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense. I have been researching weather modification and working with the legislative counsel for months writing this bill. It will be similar to Florida’s Senate Bill 56. We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.

If you had to bet one point spread for week one of the NFL right now, what would it be? 🏈

We really need a coffee table book of 70s and 80s beer league softball teams. Just look at this murderer’s row. Perms, staches, dogs, dogs with Frisbees, pointing-at-the-camera guy, there’s probably about 11 divorces on this roster.

@BarstoolBigCat Wait, what is the rule here? You get a fresh 30 second shot clock instead of 20 because it went in the backcourt?
