This is about as unenforceable due to public policy as you can get. I'm pretty sure no Court would allow an agreement for termination of a pregnancy.

This seems like kind of a pointless article. I mean baseball had so much evidence against Braun that he actually agreed to the punishment. How can they ignore that? They are complicit if they do aren't they? Remember the '90s?

Pretty sure that's unenforcable.... at least with respect to specific performance.

See this is why I can't stand Deadspin anymore. This guy makes a comparison that is maybe somewhat controversial, but also fairly on point, and it's used to make southern football fans look like idiots

Norm is God

Like most Deadspin commenters turned superstars.

Do you think House and JackO get to bring plus ones?

Somebody may want a few words with Tessitore...

That's not what the NFL's looking for.

Do you think these guys are even a little ashamed of themselves for having one of the dumbest fucking conversations in the history of mankind?

"He's a heart surgeon," Finebaum said after observing the chief of cardiology at Johns Hopkins mow his lawn for five hours, nevertheless missing several spots. "I want to embrace that. But he's making that hard to do today."
