Nothing grinds my gears more than show excess. Why does The Walking Dead have a post-show discussion show? Why does The Ringer have an entire subsection for Game of Thrones? Consume the fiction and move on.

I don’t respect KD as a man.

I’d buy season tickets for the Philadelphia LAGER Baseball Club.

The current Jags uni has a patch that says “JAGS.” Redundant. Dumb. So Jaguar.

State College is in the middle of nowhere. I’m sure it grades better than Nebraska in many facets, but it’s still in the middle of nowhere.

That Giants’ sell-out streak was riddled with filler.

Glennon had a day for the ages: He had only three first half incompletions...and two of them were interceptions.

At least it’s better than Mets/Jets/Nets and a rooting interest in UConn.

It’s called the ‘next level’ for a reason. Air raid lineman spend entire games in two-point stances. Flexbone lineman rarely pass protect. Spread offenses don’t use seven-step drops. What they did in college and what they can do in the NFL are two different things.

Yeah, there’s like a two week window annually of regular season Saturday games. (Plus a wild card game.)

I was referring to football at large in regards to the disconnect. PFF does a fantastic job - I’ve said as much in prior Deadspin comments - but they are just one piece.

That’s an entirely different thing. What PFF and I do is grade how a player performs as a part of our team and system. Scouting players is projecting how they’d fit into your system.

But there’s a direct correlation between money and college credits.

I’m a football coach and I use more or less the same grading system for my players. A couple things:

$1 billion is the price tag for state-of-the-art football stadiums. Ballparks are a little different. Marlins Park and the Braves’ new digs were both under $700 million. AT&T Park was built for an inflation-adjusted $500 million. That figure plus a couple tax breaks could surely build you a major league stadium.

French cuff, cufflinks, banker’s collar, no tie with more than one un-done button: All these things are for assholes.

The reporter in this story is the same one from that viral video from years ago. Where he inhales a bug and then snaps about ‘leaving this country ass town.’

The worst part? It’s the Mercedes Benz Stadium. The world-famous Georgia Dome was relegated to “not the Superdome, the other one.”

Pony up, Warbucks. Social contract and all. If you don’t supply the appetizers, I’m taking Roberto Aguayo first and torpedoing this bitch.
