NFL 2019-20: The Patriots Are A Terrible 11-3 Team!

Looks like I picked a bad year to stop watching the NFL.

I think another measure to make that information richer would be how many were decided on the last play of the game.

And one more degree of richness would be more minor- winning score inside the two min warning but not the last play.

Then add that to the number of games less than a score apart- since it would add a "drama" score- like a 7-3 game decided in the first quarter would not be as exciting as one where that was not the score with 2 min left, or up to the last play of the game.

One more possible richness- number of lead changes or equals inside the last 2 min (counting OT). For most of the games, there was just one, the OT games had two, but that Bill-Chiefs game had 5.

Basically, adding those would make this season quite a bit more special.

Like the Astros, Mighty Ducks, and Raptors it is a terrible idea to name a team after a fad which IMMEDIATELY dates itself.

Only exception: Les Expos. Combat moi.

I don’t think Astros is terrible. NASA is still in Houston. There are still astronauts. There isn’t a space race front and center anymore, but it’s still relevant to the city.

If anything hurt the Astros name, it was them tying their identity to their stadium for 30 years. That and Astroturf becoming the Kleenex of artificial turf. Now the first two things people think of when they hear Astro is the dome and plastic grass.

Pro Bowl weekend. No one cares about it. No one likes it. No one talks about it. Yet it still pulls NBA finals ratings.

At least the uniforms aren't as hideous as they've been the past few years.

Edit: So this is the first time in years I've watched more than a couple minutes of a Pro Bowl. So they play two-hand touch now? Why are they even wearing pads?

I liked Mighty Ducks, but that may be due to my age. And also growing up somewhere like Virginia those movies were my introduction to hockey (I know, I know). And it's a hell of a lot more interesting than just "Ducks".

Precisely why they made my list.
