There are always one or two of these a year and I love reading about it every time. It’s always the most pleasant parts of sports where some lucky person gets to live the dream for one night, or one period in this case but even still, and everyone is really cool and not a dick to them and they’ll have ‘that story’…

That’s okay... unless you’re taking over a major conference football program this week as well.

I’m with this completely. In fact, I switched to paying more attention to the NBA. Haven’t regretted it for a second. This is just ugly.

I pretty much lost interest in pro football this year. I no longer set my Sundays (or Monday nights or Thursday nights) by it. It’s too much - oversaturation of games, the laughable system of fines/punishments which seem to be made up on the fly, and the hypocrisy of the owners/commissioner talking about player safety…

Can Jalopnik do an end-of-year review of NP/CP, showcasing the 10 best NP wins and 10 worst CP loses?

Something so pedestrian as a Range Rover? Peasant! She’s still upset about the upcoming Rolls Royce SUV’s lack of exclusivity. She’s been spotted recently in Riga near the Dartz factory, hear she’s demanding unicorn horn interior trim, Tyranosaurus Rex seating surfaces, Wooly Mammoth shag carpeting, and Porg stuffed…

Another thing I wish we ever saw in the NFL is the incorporation of downfield laterals after standard pass plays. Imagine how screwed the defense would be if you had pass plays that involved designed laterals downfield after the catch. A slant receiver laterals to a slant receiver going the other direction.

These simulators are so good that the session ended after five minutes when it blew up.

Goodell’s entire career has been the result of people confusing correlation with causation.

Who needs football when you have the NFL.

Don’t worry, like half the commenters here went to law school. It explains why we’re such deeply, deeply damaged people.

It’s definitely more of a “Where the fuck am I, who the fuck am I?”

Anyone running a marathon in 2:12 isn’t “a random dude.” But you’re correct that without the mislead runners losing about two minutes he wasn’t likely to win.

UNC student-athletes will be thrilled once someone reads this story to them.

Agreed 100%. Think of how many running backs and linebackers and defensive ends that don’t get drafted are out there. Get them into Rugby and we would be competitive sooner than later.

We’d be so fucking good at rugby. Just need some NFL washouts.

I think you misunderstood. GM plans to have sold 20 Bolts by 2023. Bold prediction, let’s see how that works out for them.

Right? Like, don’t worry about me anyone, I’ll just be over here on the mat mostly unconscious....

What a leader. Inspirational.

He at least owns one t shirt with three wolves on it.
