Do Falcons players always get better after leaving Atlanta?

Sarah has a few names in mind, and this Falcons debate gets interesting fast.

Jimmy G saying he had never seen Christian McCaffrey before he joined the 49ers might be one of the funniest NFL stories ever.

Kittle’s reaction makes it even better.

PISTONS NEED DUREN - Is John Collins ENOUGH?

Dr. X had to interrupt Dwight Walton's Top 10 to get educated on if Piston's are Top 10 material!

Detroit won 60 games and took the East’s No. 1 seed. Now Tobias Harris is in San Antonio and Isaiah “Beef Stew” Stewart is in Memphis.

Dwight still calls the Pistons a top-10 NBA team. Dr. X wants to know who replaces what they lost. John Collins and Isaiah Joe are in, but Jalen Duren’s contract remains unresolved even after Detroit locked up Ausar Thompson.

Did the Pistons get better, or are we underrating what Harris and Stewart gave them? Where do you rank Detroit if Duren stays?

Jalen Duren Isn’t Worth $40,000,000

Detroit agreed to a fully guaranteed five-year, $155 million extension with Ausar Thompson so why is Jalen Duren still unsigned? Ashley Nevel goes Beyond the Surface to call out Duren

The contract standoff just escalated. Detroit reportedly increased its offer from five years and $190 million to a fully guaranteed five-year, $200 million deal—exactly $40 million per season, with no team or player option. Duren reportedly turned it down and continues to seek more than $200 million.

Duren now faces a major decision before the October 1 deadline. He could accept Detroit’s $200 million offer, continue negotiating or bet on himself by signing the one-year, $9.6 million qualifying offer. Taking the qualifying offer would allow him to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, when Sacramento and Milwaukee have reportedly expressed interest—but no future offer is guaranteed.

Duren earned his first All-Star selection and All-NBA Third Team honors after averaging 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds during the regular season. But his production dropped to 10.2 points and 8.5 rebounds across 14 playoff games. Against Cleveland, he averaged 9.9 points and 7.6 rebounds before finishing with only seven points and nine rebounds in Detroit’s Game 7 elimination.

What should Detroit do?

Ja’marr Chase Has 0.9 Seconds To Score

Cincinnati Bengals’ Ja'Marr Chase caught the touchdown of the year on Houston Texans Derek Stingley Jr but said this “didn’t even know what I did?”

He couldn't see it! When a ball disappears late in its flight, you can't steer your hands toward something you can't see. You run a prediction you made before you lost it. In the lab, when researchers hide a fly ball for the last second before it lands, people catch it roughly 1% of the time even with normal gravity.

THEIR FEET TANGLED AND THAT'S LEGAL. Before the ball arrives, Chase and Stingley get their feet caught up. This isn't a gray area: the NFL rulebook specifically lists "inadvertent tangling of feet" as legal when both players are competing for the ball. No foul.

WHY HE CAN'T REMEMBER IT. When you get knocked off balance, your body starts correcting in 73 to 110 milliseconds and that automatic correction jumps the queue ahead of anything you decide to do. Voluntary reactions take roughly twice as long. The save was already running before a decision could start.

Watch his hand, not the ball. It goes onto Stingley's back, and he pushes to get his balance back. Here's the part nobody says: he couldn't have spun in mid-air. Rotation that size has to be loaded while you're still touching something. He was touching the ground, and he was touching Stingley.

SO WAS IT A PUSH-OFF? The rule doesn't ban the hand it bans what the hand does. A push-off is a foul when it CREATES SEPARATION. The rulebook has a tiebreaker written in: if there's doubt whether contact was incidental, the ruling is no interference. No flag. The touchdown counted. He came down less than a pylon-width from out of bounds.

Bengals 20, Texans 6. Week 2, September 20, 2026, at Houston.
Are some people justified in arguing PUSH-OFF, OR BALANCE?
