This week’s Sport of Kings podcast sponsored by @AmWager, is now up. Special guest @CraigMilkowski , developer of the speed and pace figures used in TimeformUS PPs, joins me to discuss the Saturday late stakes races at @LaurelPark which include the G1 Preakness stakes. We both discuss some possible value plays in the undercard and we both like the same non-favorite in the Preakness. Craig even shares his doubts about the figures he made for a one of the Derby preps and how he may eventually adjust them going forward and I go on another short CAW rant. Good luck and enjoy the Preakness. Timestamp below. sport-of-kings-podcast.simplecast.com/episodes/e361-…

I just came up with this crazy idea (actually, some of us have been saying this for many years). Why not have the entire racing industry come together to develop an, integrated, comprehensive, schedule of major stakes races (including the Triple Crown) for each division that actually makes sense in today’s changing racing environment and which culminates in the Breeders’ Cup at year end?

You do not want to miss this week’s @KentuckyDerby episode of the Sport of Kings podcast sponsored by @AmWager. We will have Andrew Beyer, the GOAT of horseplayer authors and the creator of the Beyer speed figures used in DRF PPs. Andy and I will discuss the Derby and some spot plays in other races. The pod will drop on Wednesday night. Let me know if you have any questions for Andy.

@ASchatzNFL We have forgotten how bad many Super Bowls were in the 1980s and early 1990s.

I've seen a few clickbait posts on the Patriots having one of the worst performances in a Super Bowl... again, I think this underestimates how good the Seahawks were in 2025. By DVOA, the Patriots (-7%) don't even come close.

@BryanSh20619481 @beatingthebook I will remember this Super Bowl as the one with a big party and surprise wedding in a sugar cane field (with guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin!) surrounded by a lousy football game. I realize I’m not hiding my Rams fanhood well.

@beatingthebook let’s not act like Seattle was a juggernaut. Their defense was good but their offense was Meh. Nothing impressive. They are lucky the wrong team made the Super Bowl. I believe Bills or Denver with Bo Nix would’ve beat them. Still think Rams ere the better team

Answer: Williams goes airborne over the goal line and out of bounds. Since he doesn't get feet in the EZ, the ball must get inside/over the pylon, similar to when Michael Vick would leap to the goal line. It is a TD, but dangerously close to being ruled out at the 1 yd line

If you look closely, there is a VERY TIGHT judgment call that had to be made by the officials on this play. Can you spot it?

@footballzebras he leaves the ground about 2 yards away from the boundary (towards middle of field). He lands about 2-3 yards deep just outside the field of play. I don't think this was near as close as it might have looked from this angle.

In terms of audience, last week was the biggest in the history of The Athletic Football Show. Between the games and the news, it was the most exciting stretch that I can remember in the NFL. And I appreciate everyone who stopped by and spent it with us.

@VSiNLive @beatingthebook @KelleyBydlon That Bills loss was miserable. The rolling over pick (probably the right call but oh boy). The throw it up for grabs PI against them but not for them when Cooks was grabbed in the end zone, Josh Allen sobbing, and now McDermott fired. Is @KelleyBydlon okay?

What a phenomenal game. That’s late-game Matthew Stafford for ya. Meanwhile, a packed and roaring Carolina crowd got to see Bryce Young rise to meet his potential, despite the result.
