as a professional athlete you’ve got certain standards that you have to meet. You have to dress in a certain way, you have to perform in a certain way and within certain rules. And what anyone does on that field reflects on everybody. And off the field. And that’s why we all focus so much on ‘these are the…

Even a lot of the “good” teams (Vikings, Broncos) are boring and pretty unfun to watch.

Welcome! What happened in the Sun Belt was actually really interesting if unnoticed, where they took the rule change as a chance to kick out their 2 worst schools, but not before they made them beg to stay.

No longer true, conferences with 10 teams can have a title game and the Big 12 will have one in 2017. The Sun Belt too, if anyone cared.

Seriously, how much to Jeb and Billy Bush hate each other? Have they ever talked?

There really aren’t many undecided voters in a traditional sense and haven’t been for awhile. What will matter, and what will probably make the biggest difference, is turnout. We need election judges and volunteers to be poll monitors - you know they’ll be out looking for “voter fraud” in any way they can.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - you not only needed a Gamecube, 3 friends, 4 Gameboy Advances - you also needed a special adapter cable that was not included with either console and pretty much served no other purpose than playing Crystal Chronicles.

Oh, he did, wasn’t in the embedded clip but I believe Newman said something like “maybe he thought he was in a sprint car again” at the start of the interview.

File this as another lesson racial identity from the country that introduced the One Drop Rule.

The CBA doesn’t let a team trade a player’s draft rights after August 8.
The CBA is designed to completely remove all of a rookie’s leverage in contract negotiations, and somehow, remarkably, the Chargers still can’t get a deal done.

Wait a second - this bit from Wikipedia:

Currently, this is the only Olympic sport that awards a medal to the participating horse.

Is that still true?? How does that work, do the horses stick around until the end of the run to see if their humans can win? Does an official actually place the medal on the winning horse’s…

They pulled Lawson’s quote one sentence too early. Here’s the kill shot:

Because Delonte West fucked his mom, or is that a bridge too far?

Kirk Gibson, 1988 World Series.

Also remeber that the Braves blew up a pretty good team because they didn’t want to pay players to play decent baseball in Atlanta in 2015/16.

True but Broussard is worse, so in this case I'll chalk it up as a net win.

Most Bucks fans already assumed Mayo had been dismissed as a basketball player about 2 years, 11 months ago.

In the “all things are relative” department, Tristan Thompson’s deal was widely panned at this time last year, and he will make an average of $1 mil per year less than the older, obviously inferior player he ultimately replaced.

So now I'm trying to think of the last time I opened my optical drive (and why). I should check to see if mine has given up on me too.

I liked the shot of Beltre glaring at all the Oakland players, just to make sure no one was enjoying themselves too much.
