@AnthonyDabbundo Not to mention Bruno setting the assist record with 11 of them coming from set pieces.

What will I remember most from the Premier League season? A thread.
1. The Year of the Set Piece
This isn’t just Arsenal, who have become the posterchild for this. The maximization of set pieces up and down the table led to significant decreases of ball in play time, open play xG creation, and a sloggish pace to so many more matches. The league was less compelling to watch as a result.
You can’t blame the teams for acting optimally and finding edges, but you can blame rules/officials for letting it get this far.

@Peter_Bukowski Have to putt birdies and eagle attempts, no exceptions.
English
If it’s not a tournament and we aren’t playing for money, take the eagle if you want it. That’s between you and the golf gods.
But I’d want to putt it and I would rather play with people who’d want to putt it.

Who’s right in this situation? ⛳️ 👟

@Michael_Cerami Hoping Dansby and Happ get a couple days off and Seiya moves down the order a bit.
English
With the lingering offensive funk, the manager hinting at lineup changes, and not one (Pedro Ramirez), but TWO (Kevin Alcantara) of the Cubs top prospects arriving in Chicago in the last 24 hours, this has to be one of the more anticipated Cubs lineups of the season.
English
@WatchMarquee Dude is striking out over 50% of the time with RISP and can’t take any accountability
English
"We've got a really great group, really experienced group. We'll come out the other side of it."
Ian Happ is confident the Cubs will turn things around.

Milly’s in the Pan and George’s Deep Dish easily clear Lou’s.

Every Chicagoan knows Lou Malnati’s is the best Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago.

@Peter_Bukowski The lions have basically lit draft picks on fire since the third round of 2023. This is the most top-heavy they've been in this window and least suited to handle injuries. And they haven't exactly proven they can stay healthy.
English
The thing I don't understand around the Lions being favored over the Packers in the North is Green Bay was clearly better last year and had the injury excuse too.
Detroit has an easier schedule we THINK, but are they better than GB? No.
English
@tylernipper2792 @Peter_Bukowski I’m not siding with anyone. The Packers offense was awesome last year without a good line and without a running game. The Packers won because of Love and that’s not something we can say about Caleb yet.
English
@Sam_Winks @Peter_Bukowski Why side with them then?😂😂 I wasn’t dunking on Love it was more of a, how are you going to let Packers fans crap on Caleb when Love didn’t didn’t do a single thing in the league 2 years in😂😂 both will be great QBs, Pete just has to constantly glaze Love for winning nothing
English
They’re not gonna like this one
Mellow Mike! NFL 🧀@Mellowmikenfl
Just a reminder, Kyler Murray’s worst full season as a starting QB is better than Caleb Williams’s best! Kyler Murray 3851 yds 21 TD 11 INT 68.8% Comp 93.5 QB RTG 63.4 QBR Caleb Williams 3942 Yds 27 TD 7 INT 58.1% Comp 90.1 QB RTG 58.2 QBR
English
@Sam_Winks @Peter_Bukowski All I’m saying is, you guys are dunking on a QB who won a playoff while your QB didn’t even take snaps until year 3 and truly Start until year 4. Why bring down one QB without being objective with where he is in his career. I think Love is a Franchise QB, I think Caleb is as well
English
@Peter_Bukowski @tylernipper2792 It’s a real bummer that bears fans think they can dunk on Jordan Love at this point in his and Caleb’s careers.
English
@tylernipper2792 @Sam_Winks He was 2nd in EPA/dropback last season Tyler.
English
@Peter_Bukowski That was Kyler’s second best full season. Caleb left a lot of meat on the bone and anyone whose objective would say he had a lot of highlights but didn’t have a top 15 qb season. Time will tell, but I feel pretty confident that Caleb will surpass the Kyler line.
English
@Sam_Winks The thing is, it’s not that Kyler IS better. Sure the health matters. But the fact a mediocre Kyler season is better statistically than Caleb’s “star” season seems relevant
English
@Peter_Bukowski Lines make more sense in that case. Good teamwork.
English
@Sam_Winks Turns out the Packers are -102 on the ML for that game. Coin flip.
English
These lines don't quite add up.
Packers are -1.5 @ Minnesota
Bears are +1.5 in Minnesota
Packers are -3 vs. Bears
I know the transitive property doesn't exist in the NFL, but that math doesn't math.
Adam Hoge@AdamHoge
For all the talk about the #Bears' hard schedule, they are only underdogs in 5 games on the early lines: at GB +3 at SEA +4.5 at DET +2.5 at BUF +3.5 at MIN +1.5 They do have 4 home games as only -1.5 favorites though: PHI, NE, GB, DET.

@MikeClayNFL In what universe is Darnell Wright the 10th best right tackle after being named second team all pro last year?
English
@Peter_Bukowski The linear draft curve in 2026 is a tough look for DJ.
English
C+ draft though for the Packers amirite
Daniel Jeremiah@MoveTheSticks
Which Teams Made Most of Their Picks? - 150 points for player ranked 1st overall, 149 for player ranked 2nd … - Players outside Top 150 = 0 points - 150 expected points for 1st overall pick, 149 for 2nd overall pick … - Picks outside Top 150 = 0 expected points

@InvertTheWing I can’t wait for you to shout for a west ham pen tomorrow when city should’ve had at least two reds and brentford awarded a pen.
English
@Chicago_NFL Grady Jarrett is not a better pass rusher than Gervon.
English
Interesting that Dennis Allen mentioned that Dayo Odeyingbo may be best rushing the passer from inside as a DT on passing downs. That likely makes their top pass-rush line as:
DE Montez Sweat
DT Dayo Odeyingbo
DT Grady Jarrett
DE Austin Booker

@startkyIeorton To me this says they know they missed horribly on their player evaluations in 2025 free agency and can’t do shit about it until 2027.
English
Bears seem to be going all in on "Dennis Allen is our competitive advantage on defense" and that's fine but if they stink again you have to fire him. None of this "he doesn't have his guys" shit they're explicitly saying he's got his guys and needs to coach em up
