I despise rules that work that way in.

Yeah, there has to be a better way.

In the end, the Belgians looked like they threw it. England ended up winning 6-0 and their game ended a couple of minutes before Holland v Belgium. Holland suspiciously scored two goals in the last two minutes. Looks like Belgium chose their neighbours over England.

It'll be a while before I'm too concerned about the post-season as a Patriots fan.

The Celtics however...

I doubt The Steelers will get past the Bills this weekend, but I'm thrilled they managed to slip into the playoffs at all.

Bye bye Belichik, I'm kinda surprised but then also not so. He's been absolutely fantastic, but he will definitely be disappointed he wasn't able to win a Superbowl as a Head Coach without Brady.

^ I had every intention of coming here to bring up Bill Belichick, knowing your attachment to the Patriots. Glad to see that you beat me to it. I also see that they've already hired a replacement.

I'm not sure about the circumstances but the headlines seem to say Bill was "fired." Being a lifelong Steelers fan, a team that has only had 3 coaches in my entire lifetime, I tend to think that he should have been allowed to finish out his career in New England if he wanted to. But I guess that's where New England and Pittsburg are different. With the Steelers you're pretty much "family."

Steelers game postponed until Monday afternoon because lake effect snow in Buffalo can be insane. Its pretty rare that NFL games get moved in time and or place. Usually its Hurricane's in the south, but they did have to make some changes during the pandemic as well.
