So Kaepernick’s representation was able to “find suitors” because he leaked his desire to be traded to the press. At the same time “People know he doesn’t want to be there. Him putting it out there publicly only confirms what people kind of thought already.” That’s what you’re going with? So apparently the public…

You should probably get used to the idea that nothing that’s reported in the NFL media gets out unless it advances the purposes of the party who leaked it. Kaepernick and his agent had nothing to gain by publicizing his desire to be traded. If anything, that information becoming public hurts his image. Also, I have no…

The trade “demand” was a coordinated ploy that was mutually beneficial to Kaepernick and the 49ers. If teams know that you don’t want a player they will give you nothing in return for him. By giving the appearance that they were at least interested in him playing for them next season they may only have to pay a little…

Not to mention that it further incentivizes onside kicks, which are also very dangerous plays.

Congratulations on beating that. I went through a couple of years of pretty bad depression myself when I was younger and didn’t have insurance. I sought counseling at my college actually, and all they had to offer me was a $100/hour therapist and peer counseling. No accident we lost so many students to suicide at my…

The lack of free mental healthcare access for all is absurdly primitive from almost any angle you look at it from. It would save humanity so much money and heartache yet it’s barely on the radar.

Important distinction: the rates are similar between Compton children and Iraq vets, not Iraqi children. PTSD rates of Iraqi children who lived near a combat zone are likely double. Off the charts.

“Michael Bidwill, president of the Cardinals and a Carson supporter, argued that the NFL doesn’t exist just to make rich owners richer. Owners needed to consider what would be best for the league.”

This article is so fucking dumb. It’s almost everything Deadspin makes fun of condensed into a post. Wait a second, is this satire?

There is only one former Trojan on that roster and he played long after Loville and Hanson were done. So yeah, gotta be Whitehurst.

Congrats it’s pretty amazing that nobody with an approved Kinja noticed that this was paid advertising. Yet at the same time yall’s Deadspin site called out ESPN for pimping bowl games in a soap opera. Cheers for sinking to lower levels than the mainstream media on a nearly daily basis. So 2.0

If by “opening it up” you mean averaging 162 pass yards per game against the Raiders, Chargers, Ravens and Browns then yeah, the Chiefs are positively terrifying.

It isn’t the defense’s fault that NFL coaches are almost all terrible at clock management and overeager to employ it.

They feature in 80% of these Bills fan videos. As do Trent Edwards jerseys.

Awww.... Goodell took Florio for a walk around the lake to celebrate!

I don’t believe in banning shit. Shaming yes. Pointing out hypocrisy? Always. I just said that they wouldn’t exist if they weren’t mostly made up of rich white guys... which I think is true.

Because when poor young people—particularly minorities—do those things they go to jail and lose their federal scholarship eligibility. Meanwhile more than 3/4 of Congress and all but 2 presidents have been fraternity members.

Does illegal activity routinely take place at fraternities? Do the national organizations know about it yet make little effort to stop it? If so, then they are criminal organizations. Granted, I don’t think that 99.99% of those crimes should be crimes to begin with, but if the same were true of an institution that was…

You are confused. A 5.3 percent recidivism rate is extremely low measured in comparison to other crimes. It’s obviously larger than the general population, but that’s true of any crime. That doesn’t mean that we keep all criminals in prison for the rest of their lives because each offender is more likely to repeat…
