The only reason these coaches are fighting is because of how vague and sloppy this rule is.

Or maybe the wealthy professional football team he plays for could figure out a way to get its hands on one for him.

One aspect of his argument which could hold water or at least convince a jury is that he claims he sees (Vontaze Burfict) better while wearing his old helmet, that it affords him better peripheral vision than the new ones.  Which I could easily believe, if the new helmets have more material and padding, that it…

The “Source” the athletic quoted doesn’t seem to understand how liability works. The NFL has a policy which is supposed to increase safety. If they knowingly violate that policy and allow a player to use old, unapproved, equipment that does not meet the policy and the player gets hurt, that’s when “the liability will…

Kaare Vedvik? Daniel Carlson? The Vikings know they don’t have to pick actual vikings, right?

If this somehow doesn’t work out, the Vikings might just be better off skipping that position entirely and becoming the team that always goes for it on fourth down.

I mean, did you expect a guy named Pep Guard to be in favor of flair?

“If you look at all his products, they are all things useful for space travel and colonization.”

Probably because you didn’t read the article.

He’s not holding out, but Nick Foles has the most leverage in the NFL. Simple machines, man.

Non-consensual kissing is not okay. That fact that the ball wants to give him a little kiss doesn’t give it the right to do that. I think the batter’s body language demonstrated his reluctance clearly enough that the ball should have known it was unwelcome, even if he didn’t explicitly say “No”. Best to use a standard…

I tweaked my leg on the way to the train six months ago and haven’t been to work since. This is just good science now:

Kudos to the Brit; This is the first time in history a Sun has failed to burn a Scott.

“Pro cheater" is a weird hill.

So, to recap so far, Deadspin’s stance on:

Other Olympic medalists, like Lilly King and Dawn Fraser, have also called out Sun for being allowed to continue racing after an odd incident with drug testers last September that ended with Sun’s bodyguards destroying vials of blood.

“I hope they let him race at the Tokyo Olympics and continue talking shit to people who can’t beat him.”
