Given the buzz about ticket sales for this, if U.S. buys are good that makes a lot of sense to have Jericho win, since he would be the primary reason for the spike, and then you’d try to make good money the next time out. There’s no reason they couldn’t do another match down the line or — gasp — have Jericho show up…

As always, Mississippi leads the way backwards.

It’s not.

I can’t look at a guy who has a .527 lifetime winning percentage and say he’s not a great coach? What other metric do you suggest we introduce, other than 15 years of mediocrity? Of coaches who have lasted 15 years, only Weeb Ewbank, Lou Saban, John Fox, Norv Turner, and Jeff Fisher have worse career winning…

He wouldn’t need to be fired; his contract expired. He’s getting a new deal. You really think there’s not a coordinator out there who might not energize the team more than the guy who has led them to an 0-7 playoffs record?

All of this suddenly makes sense...

I see, so comparing him to when he wasn’t there at all as opposed to just looking at his own mediocre results means bring him back for two more years, because what team doesn’t want to just tread water in perpetuity?

They wouldn’t be significantly better either way. But I don’t think that’s really a reason to keep a guy who’s averaged eight wins over 15 seasons.

That three-pointer doesn’t count. He clearly took four steps before taking that shot.

This is where all the steak snobs barge in and scream at you that a well-cooked steak doesn’t need sauce and that anything other than salt and pepper on a steak is a WAR CRIME. As always, these people need to calm the fuck down.

HOOTERS ANNOUNCES NEW ARTERY BLOCKCHAIN

Two opportunities for half the teams - 8/4/2. But this is a much better solution from a competitive standpoint than four teams.

+1 part-time clown for hire

This is, obviously, a major blow to Kangol.

Huh, we have a fiscally conservative Democratic Party? That sounds like quantifiable bullshit to me.

That may have been an isolated incident. Or rare, in any case.

Mirotic has been very, very good. He’s scored more than 20 seven times in 11 games off the bench. For perspective, the Bulls average 39 bench points as a team this year, and Sacramento leads the league with 48. He showed flashes of this a couple years ago but really fell off for a while. I don’t know how they salvaged…

Not necessarily. If there were five unified independents in the Senate, it would keep either party from ever having a majority, giving them significant power, because they would become the leverage for getting legislation passed. If there were 10 independents, it would keep a number of committees from having majority…

“There are plenty of problems with America’s broken democracy.”

Yep, ad revenue + live programming is how televised and streaming content will make money over the next half-decade. I mentioned this when Bixenspan first brought up the XFL a couple weeks ago and got holy hell for it from people who think you can’t run anything against the NFL. But, again, the NFL is having its worst…
