Why do we only see these heart-wrenching essays when the cute guys from the State Farm commercials get boo-boos? The author mentioned that Dalvin Cook was hurt last week and is out for the season on a routine play also. Where was your article then?

Responsibility for what? Being shitty to a girl he hooked up with via text?

This guy sounds like a total dickwad. That said - should he really lose his job for being an insecure jackass with a woman? He didn’t threaten anything serious, he pretty much just ragged on her “busy schedule” and “modeling career”. He was unkind to a woman over text. A real jerk. She was mean to him also. It sounds…

Jesus Christ. Firing Klinsmann after a decent run in Rio will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in USMNT history. Going to set the program back decades. They got rid of a talented European coach and replaced him with a fat American high school soccer dad.

Rondell White, Frank White, Devon White! What an arm Devo had.

Remember the Shawon-o-Meter in the bleachers?

Agreed, better than the first! I haven’t watched Season 3 yet - was that any good?

I’m sure he’ll go on FOX News and claim he’s getting death threats, and they’ll defend his right to “free speech” and “his own ideas”. He’ll run for mayor in his small town after campaigning with TV ads focusing on 2nd Amendment Rights, using an automatic machine gun to blast photographs of his opponents to…

pretty much my thoughts. At least make it a 3-gamer.

As a Twins fan - IF* we get to the playoffs - I want the Yankees. Screw it, man. We’re going to have to beat them one day, and I don’t think there’s another team in baseball that will get the Twins’ blood flowing for that play-in game. Send Erv to the mound in NY and roll the dice.

Just because I think Simone Biles is doping doesn’t mean I walk around screaming at people in Starbucks, man. My alcoholism probably has no context whatsoever in this argument, I’ll agree. And it appears there’s lots of hate pouring down on me for my comments, so I’ll just step away from this one and live to fight…

It’s not okay for Biles to be taking Ritalin and competing against other athletes who are not. Period. It’s a banned substance for a reason. Those who are using performance enhancing drugs - for whatever reason - shouldn’t be able to compete. It’s banned because it gives competitors an advantage. What about that…

Doctors prescribe LOTS of stuff that people shouldn’t be taking. Opiates, for one.

No, but I have been diagnosed with a keen sense of smell, including the ability to smell bullshit from a mile away. You really think USA Gymnastics - of all organizations - is above cheating?

When I was an active alcoholic, that’s exactly what I said about vodka. Doesn’t mean it was OK for me to drink vodka at work, at least according to my employer. We have rules for reasons. Biles is taking a banned substance that is against the rules. It’s banned because it enhances focus and balance - it’s cheating.

Right, but this isn’t kindergarten and we’re not talking about peanut butter crackers. We’re talking about grown ups, and the Olympics. Nobody can take ritalin - it’s a banned substance. But here we have this perky American who shows up with a doctor’s note, and that’s okay? There are thousands of women who work…

You ever taken ritalin? The effects in my experience were indeed almost exactly the same as high quality cocaine. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Biles is winning gold medals while on ADHD meds - in my opinion it’s certainly going to give her an edge. And my guess is that the US Olympic Team knows it, and…

I hope MLB contracts the 28 other teams that way we can have just YANKEES and RED SOX only all the time and everyone will have to be either a YANKEES or a RED SOX fan and NOTHING ELSE and that way all the boring news about other teams wont ruin our days because that is all we will care about okay

Thanks for this article! I live in Latin America and it’s great to see a spotlight (however small) placed on this gauntlet of a qualifier. It’s great to see Peru and even Paraguay giving the big boys a run for their money this year. When the World Cup expands, it’ll be fun to see some additional South American teams…

I don’t think he’s on the wagon.
