Oh, so you think highly of Tinfoil Ted. This explains quite a bit.

As someone who’s had his name associated with a post-football career in politics since his college days, and who seems to fit the Moral Conservative mold, I’d imagine Peyton and several in his camp care a lot. Otherwise they wouldn’t have W’s old Baghdad Bob trotting out to manage the message, just like he did so…

We did it. We found the only Blue Jackets fan whose default demeanor is “irrationally pissed at criticism,” as opposed to “resigned to failure.”

Look, pro/rel works in the European leagues because the geography is different, and the system has been entrenched for more than a century, well before anyone had to worry about market size in regard to television rights contracts. A London team drops out in EPL, and here comes a new team, quite possibly from London!…

And I thought he wouldn’t be here furlong.

This is how John Fox has been operating since the moment he arrived in Chicago - constant, unnecessary obfuscation of player injuries. Kevin White was fine at camp, everyone was told, nothing major - until he had to get a rod put in his fractured tibia and miss the season.

All this and Vince Vaughn, too.

This is why I’ll only let my kids participate in non-contact soccer activities, like seven-figure bribery.

In fairness, the free pass doesn’t always get issued because of someone’s extraordinary skills with a ball.
