Sure, and it reflected badly on the NFL. Didn't see many lose faith in the league, though. Hernandez was just a player, after all.

Absolutely does. Bet you don't hear Tony Dungy condemn Roger Goodell for it, though.

The one who kicked all this off? Yeah, we didn't get pissed until the NFL came down gentle on that dude, and it's been the resulting cover-up that's actually erased whatever trust and integrity Goodell's built up as the NFL's moral arbiter of justice and truth.

Done.

I can almost smell it. God. +1.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH.

TMZ didn't, else we probably would've seen it way earlier, and I didn't mean to imply that they had it before last weekend. But as you said, I don't believe for a second that the NFL couldn't have gotten the video or didn't see the video. Somebody high up in the NFL is lying and even if it's not Goodell himself, it's…

Nobody in the NFL, Roger? Mortensen just making shit up, is he? McManus too? Roger Goodell, moral arbiter of justice, wielder of both big mouth AND big stick, with a whole security team full of goons at his beck and call, didn't have anybody take a gander at a video everyone who followed this knew existed, when TMZ…

Quoth the Raven, "Never too late to delete awful tweets you shouldn't have sent in the first place."

Fuck you Deadspin. Who are you to mock the lifelong tradition and heritage of white men to be racially insensitive? Blackface is a time-honored tradition going all the way back to the good ol' days of 19th century, when things were better. 83% of black people have no problem with blackface. Stupid libturds getting…

While I'm sure everyone loves The Silent Cartographer, I don't think it's the best level in Halo, or the one most representative of its core design. I'd give that award to Assault on the Control Room, which has many of the very same elements that make The Silent Cartographer great but on a much grander scale. The one…

Now for maximum effect, play this and go look at those pictures again.

I was going to point out that Voyager isn't really horrible but then I remember Threshold happened and all defense I had for the show vanished.

For every Early Access darling, there's a handful of stories just like this that prove how much a minefield the whole Early Access or Kickstarter trend is for consumers. We're rapidly approaching the point where these cases are worse than any pre-order bonus of a big publisher game, because at least with those…

God, hearing the name Karen S'Jet brings back so many memories.

God, I remember. Fuck all of those people. The Colts traded one year for misery for 15 years of Andrew Luck and they probably don't even understand how good they have it, going from Manning to Luck with just one year of abject horridness. Leave it to the Dolphins to fail miserably at failing miserably.

I don't think Trout or Miggy or anyone you care to name is as visible in the sports landscape today as those guys were then (in fact I think it's pretty indisputable that they aren't) but maybe some of that was just me donning the rose-colored glasses, sure. I was relating a personal anecdote at any rate.

As a 24 year old, the scenario described is basically right on. I watched and played baseball growing up, back when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa and Ken Griffey and Barry Bonds and Greg Maddux and Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson on and on actually were treated as icons and heroes and appealed to little kids who wanted…

The season that finally broke me as a Dolphins fan was 2011. I'll never, ever fucking forget how absolutely abominable that fucking year was. We maintained the management of a team that had clearly proven it was incapable of sustaining success the year before. We traded for Reggie Bush. We brought in Mike Pouncey and…
