“JUST CROSS THE GOAL LINE BEFORE YOU CELEBRATE! It’s a simple message, one that every football coach has addressed at some point in their career.” 
Why is that opening paragraph in quotes? BECAUSE I ALREADY WROTE THE SAME WORDS EARLIER ON SUNDAY! 
Unbelievably, two NFL players failed to score touchdowns because they dropped the football before the goal line in Week 15. 
During the early-afternoon window, that player was Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Jordan Battle.

After a terrific week playing alongside Jeeno Thitikul, Tom Kim had a lovely anecdote after his round.
You have to love Tom Kim, who always wears his heart on his sleeve.
Whether it be his emotional finish at the Olympics, eating chocolate in celebration after his win in Las Vegas, or his love for New Haven pizza, Kim has a unique charm that makes him quite likable.

It began with another banner flying over MetLife Stadium demanding the firing of “everyone” by New York Giants ownership. And if you think that was an indignity for one of New York’s professional football teams, consider that the early headlines of the day offered a hint of disrespect for the New York Jets as well. 
The Jets, you see, have already moved on to 2025.

Remember that moment last month when Tua Tagovailoa talked about his love for killing narratives?
“Yeah, I mean, I’m excited to kill narratives, so let’s go, bring it on,” Tagovailoa said after a victory over the New England Patriots in November.
Well, one narrative has been consistently destroying Tagovailoa and his Miami Dolphins teammates for two seasons, including two games since the quarterback uttered those words: 
The Dolphins cannot beat good or playoff-caliber teams.
Texans 20.
Dolphins 12.

The “NFL is rigged!” crew got a fresh new conspiracy to dissect in Week 15 thanks to the Washington Commanders win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
