@HarrisonWind @RyanGreeneDNVR Jamal Murray’s ACL injury and Landeskog’s injury are an interesting footnote parallel in this. You could argue both would have had far more playoff success if those didn’t happen.

It's fascinating how different the Nuggets and Avs are run. Nuggets have stayed conservative and patient throughout the Jokic era. Not a lot of trades. Same core for the last several years. Even the end of the roster hasn't changed much. They've preached continuity.
You have way more players and more potential moves to make in the NHL, it's also easier to make trades. But the Avs have made 17 trades in just the last two seasons, including some blockbusters -- for Kadri and the trade off Rantanan. They've completely remade their roster and depth.
The two teams under the same ownership couldn't run more differently, and both have 1 championship (so far) in this era and about the same recent playoff success.

@theblockspot Even worse.. the team that won 39 games is the 4 seed and the team that won 43 games is the 7 seed

@AndrewDBailey Elam ending would shorten the game by 3 minutes and shorten the way a game feels by 15 minutes
English
I hate reducing the games from 48 minutes to 40* more than I hate reducing the season from 82 games to whatever (and I hate that a lot).
The NBA could easily fit most 48-minute games into a two-hour broadcast window with some obvious tweaks.
Start games on time, slash the number of team-called timeouts, send all reviews the replay center, where an off-site official has 30 seconds to make the call and cut halftime to 10 minutes. Most people aren’t in on this one, but the Elam ending would help too.
*Going from 48 minutes to 40 has far too severe implications for league history.
Mark Cuban@mcuban
Make the games 40 minutes. 8 x 82 / 48 =13.667 That’s the equivalent number of games you would reduce the schedule by. Without breaking arena leases. Works for college. Works for international. Works for the WNBA. AND. If you looking at tv and streaming ratings, the less the actual playing time for a televised game, the bigger the ratings. Ie, the less time fans have to focus on a game, the more they enjoy watching it on tv

@Tyler_Polumbus 2015 had better high end, which matters more. 2026 has better depth.
But Harvey and Engram are also better pass catchers than anything the SB50 had in the RB/TE rooms.
English
I keep running this comp in my head...
Sutton, Waddle, Franklin, Mims, and Bryant in '26 feels similar to the SB 50 room of DT, Emmanuel, Fowler, Caldwell, and Norwood…
I'll take my guys in 2015 but I think it could be close...
Which room are you taking?

GOLD FALLS TO UNDER $4500, SET FOR ITS BIGGEST WEEKLY FALL SINCE 1983. - @FirstSquawk
Gold volatility in USD is doing what gold volatility did in 1920s Weimar German Reichsmarks, which makes perfect sense once you understand our present context.

@geoffschwartz Who cares. The Chiefs’ win streak vs Denver still counted when it was against Case Keenum, Joe Flacco, Drew Lock, Teddy Bridgewater, and Russell Wilson
English
The best part about these tweets (and there are plenty) is just zero acknowledgment that two of the four games were against Carson Wentz when the Chiefs were 15-1 and resting starters... and then on Sunday vs a dude making his first NFL start at QB.

Bo Nix is a blocked field goal away from being undefeated against the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes in his NFL career.
English
As Bill Simmons pointed out, Patrick Mahomes is at the cusp of doing something that Tom Brady never did: play in a meaningless NFL game with his team eliminated from postseason consideration. What a wild ride this 2025 season has been.
ProFootballTalk@ProFootballTalk
Chiefs could be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@daveddev @testing521 @JohnAthos ‘Agape’ is used in the Septuagint to describe Amnon’s feelings toward Tamar in 2 Sam 13. Somehow I’ve never heard an ‘agape’ sermon mention that the lexical range of ‘agape’ includes the sick sort of attraction that would cause a man to rape his sister.
English
@testing521 @JohnAthos Regarding logos and agape, it's not a weakness of the Greek, it's a weakness of the English.
Regarding hypostasis, it's that poorly conceived philosophy was injected into the scriptures rather than the Church listening to what the scriptures define.

- rhema: message, word/words, profession The scriptures are the messages of God. - logos: reason, meaning, justification, an accounting The Lord is the reason for and justification of all things. - After about 2000 years, Christians still struggle to understand that Hebrews 4:12-13 is about the Lord living inside of us as the only means by which God will see us as justified. Instead, Christians often misunderstand that passage to be about the scriptures. And that is very much like Esau selling his inheritance. Hebrews 4:12-13 For the Justification (Logos) is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give justification (logos).
English
99% of the Greek words mentioned in a Sunday sermon add absolutely no value to the English translation.
English
@Zach_Segars Yeah. I guess I’m more optimistic regarding Daniel Jones than you are. His tape didn’t look flukey to me at all, I think he just found a really good fit for himself in Indy
English
@crisobrien_ They’re down two 1st round picks and are pot committed to a QB coming off an uncharacteristically good half-season and a pair of devastating injuries
That’s a rough outlook
English
This team traded two 1sts to win now, and now they’ll probably miss the playoffs
Plus, because they don’t have their 1sts, there might not be a better avenue to a QB than re-signing Jones
One of the most epic implosions I can remember from any team. Oof
Ian Rapoport@RapSheet
If the MRI confirms a torn Achilles, Daniel Jones will face a 9-month recovery that puts him right up against the start of 2026 season. Jones is a pending free agent, though Indy wants him back.

@lukestamps @BaptistRenewal Do you have a link for Haykin’s work on this?
English
There is a growing awareness and retrieval of this historic view among contemporary Baptists (see the work of Michael Haykin and the stuff we have written at @BaptistRenewal).
English
The earliest Baptists held to a Calvinian view of the Lord's Supper as a sacrament, a means of grace, through which we have a real participation (koinoinia) in the body and blood of Christ by faith.
English
@AricDiLalla Pretty impressive given he’s taken over a franchise that’s averaged ~6 wins a year for the decade leading up to his drafting
English
Broncos QB Bo Nix enters Week 14 with 20 career wins.
Only 5 QBs have won more regular-season games through the end of Year 2: Russell Wilson (24), Andrew Luck (22), Dak Prescott (22), Ben Roethlisberger (22) & Dan Marino (21).
Five more games for Bo to keep moving up the list.
English
@MaseDenver @Russgotfat Worked just fine for Scott Frost at UCF. Worked less well for his future team, Nebraska

@Russgotfat Universities are about education, at least they ought to be. Here’s the lesson: You don’t bail on your team and still get the privilege of being around it.

Kirk is wrong here.
In 1989, Michigan men’s basketball coach Bill Frieder took the same job at Arizona State just before the NCAA Tournament began. Bo Schembechler told him to get lost, saying, “A Michigan man will Coach Michigan.” With Steve Fisher, the Wolverines won it all.
You’re either in or you’re out. You can’t have one foot in one place and another in the home of a conference rival.

Sean Payton, Wil Lutz and a handful of other former Saints players and coaches have led the Denver Broncos to a 9-2 record so far this season.

The #Saints chose poorly
English
@Zach_Segars Yeah, Dobbins will never get a high guarantee contract at this point. Wait it out. And who knows, if Dobbins misses time, maybe Harvey shines more in an RB1 role than he has in the RB2 role.
English
To be clear, if Dobbins’ last nine games go like the first eight, I’m 100% on board
I just see almost no upside to getting out in front of this one, and there’s a WHOLE lotta risk to being early here
English
I TOTALLY understand the desire in Broncos Country to extend JK Dobbins, and I’m totally on board…**at the end of the season**
The question with JK has never been talent, but sustained health
He isn’t getting much pricier, so there’s no reason to re-up partway through the szn
Andrew Mason@MaseDenver
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins says that the thought of a contract extension hasn't crossed his mind, but he wants to stay regardless. "I hope to end my career here and be here for the rest of my time in the NFL. Far as extension and all that, though, I don't think about that. ... But, yeah, that would be nice, because I want to be in Denver. I love it. I love the fan base. I think the fan base and I have a connection. I love my teammates, and I also love -- I love Sean Payton. I love the owners ... but I don't think about the extension part."
English
@Zach_Segars I’m not sold on Bo as QB. I think he’s got it in him but we’ll see.
That said, this might be the right read 🤷♂️. The DBs are sinking big time here. Not unusual in that circumstance to throw the check down for an easy YAC gain. Gotta find a way to get fewer balls batted down
English
I just know from posting here as much as I do. If that’s a clip pointing out some dumb Payton playcall, it’d be A LOT more popular than this clip of Bo constricting the offense
English
This is another factor in the offense “not opening up”
Sometimes real downfield concepts are called, and Bo just defaults to the checkdown
Payton has to be better. So does Bo
Josh Stecklein🍏@JmoneysteckNFL
This is just unacceptable man. Not even giving the concept a chance just automatically going to the checkdown. This is Hank! This is as basic as drop back passing gets. Not even any Pressure!! THROW THE OTB MAN.
English
@Zach_Segars And he’s spent 2 of 5 outings lining up against maybe the best two WR2s in the league, Higgins and Smith
English
Riley Moss is allowing a passer rating of 83.5 when targeted
83.5 would rank 26th among starting QBs this season
Again, Moss’s play is a non-issue for the Broncos
