Doug Gottlieb Attacks Refs, Furniture After Loss | Defector

Alas, Gottlieb put his ass hat back on and returned to the spotlight following his team's 75-72 home loss. Gottlieb, whose team blew a six-point second-half lead, spent the postgame press conference profanely whining about officiating, conference leadership, and even schedulers. The peeved coach climaxed his tirade by attacking the table on the dais with the same venom he'd shown the chair in December. Why do you hate furniture, Doug?

'Played police and ball boys': Brazil chief on loss

Even at this altitude of 4,000 meters, we played against the referees, the police, and the ball boys, who were taking the balls off the field and putting them on the field. It was a real mess. This isn't what we expect for world football or South American football. What we want is to grow even further. This kind of attitude, especially when playing at altitude, is difficult. I hope CONMEBOL takes action, precisely because we have everything recorded. This can't happen; it's absurd.

Why Your Team Sucks 2025: Kansas City Chiefs | Defector

But advanced stats cannot even capture just how unbelievably lucky the Chiefs were last season. Including playoffs, 12 of their 17 wins were by one score. They beat the Broncos on a blocked chip-shot field goal. They beat the Ravens because Isaiah Likely's toe was out of bounds in the end zone. They would've lost to Tampa if the Bucs had just gone for a two-point conversion late in regulation.
