On one hand, there’s a valid argument to be made that Papa John’s franchisees did not know that Papa John was a racist POS and that they’re losing tons of money through no fault of their own.

Also, correlation not causation. If one airline has the vast majority of flights into and out of that airport, and they are very bad (or good) at being on time, then that’s going to skew the results heavily. But if you’re one of the minority flying a different airline, you might have a totally different experience.

I hate left-lane hogs too, but a guy doing 90 in the left lane probably isn’t impeding too much faster traffic.

I’m not sure what a 30-year-old receiver off the street who’s four years removed from his last great season is really going to add to the 4th best offense (by DVOA). Dez Bryant seems like a guy who is far better served at this point in his career by taking the most guaranteed money he can get right now, because he is…

I think it was Football Outsiders who did a deep dive on this (or maybe it was just a back and forth in the comments) and determined that the myth of the AFC East being an awful division, as measured by actual team quality and not just the name of the starting QBs, is just that - a myth.

Plus, then you either have to tip or be a rich jerk who doesn’t tip. I’d rather just get the ice myself whenever I want it.

I don’t understand it either. There are people in my family that I no longer speak to because of their vocal and enthusiastic support for Trump. They’ve never personally attacked me; I just don’t feel like interacting with people like that.

Apart from the general issue of voter apathy, I am appalled that anyone who opposes Trump and what he stands for (and what the GOP has come to openly stand for) could even consider not voting right now. At least the people who truly don’t care about politics are in a weird way living up to their ideals when they don’t…

If I thought working out meant that I had to join a gym and/or take some type of class with a bunch of people, I’d never work out.

In hindsight, it’s remarkable that Jackson was given a second year in charge after starting the 2016 season 0–14 and finishing 1–15

Exactly. Look at the horsepower ratings for some of the recommended cars on that list.

First, bigger and heavier cars are far safer for their occupants.

Here’s a reminder that shouldn’t be needed, but apparently is: the burden of proof to convict someone of a crime is very high (and should be). The burden of proof in a civil suit is lower, but still quite high. I would argue that the burden of proof for doing something like banning a player from a league (or firing an…

When you’re talking about your boss, though, the bar for what you would prefer they not see could be pretty low depending on the situation. I am not ashamed one bit about liking a post condemning Donald Trump, but if I found myself working for a Trump supporter I would be concerned about it affecting my job. That kind…

From that perspective, you’re absolutely right. On the other hand, when the QB that the GM traded up to draft is already midway through his 2nd cheap season, and when that same GM traded the next two first-rounders for a player in his prime, I’d argue that they’re in win-now mode.

Ah, the classic absurd overreaction by the police and bureaucracies. If there are teenagers running around and vandalizing stuff or committing actual crimes, maybe deal with them rather than making innocuous activities illegal?

Is he? If Mack’s injury still isn’t healed, I can’t believe the Bears would bring him back against the Bills. IMHO the only reason they haven’t said he’ll sit is because they might as well let the Bills think they might have to face him.

Peterman is bad enough to throw 3 consecutive interceptions, but if he can somehow make Kyle Fuller hang on to even 2 of them then I will definitely believe he’s a supernatural being.

Oh, they’ll win, but they’ll look supremely unimpressive doing it and the outcome will be in question through at least the middle of the 4th quarter. I expect the disturbing lack of pass rush to continue if Mack doesn’t play.

Hiring an agent to be a GM feels like Trump loading his cabinet with people who’ve spent their careers trying to dismantle the agencies they now head. Unlike Trump, I can’t imagine the Wilpons actually want their baseball team to lose. I don’t get it.
