The teams are investments in their eyes, but again the return shows up outside of the balance sheets of the clubs themselves, and instead in tourism, state owned businesses, and the like. Also it helps that, in the case of Man City/NYCFC, they get a huge boost to public opinion, despite the recent human rights…

Fuckin Deadspin. You guys just posted this for the shock value.

Late or not, I was amped to see it here.

I'm surprised it took you over a week to post this guys. If it's not current, it kind of loses its shock value.

At least that only lasted an instant. The pain of being a Buffalo sports fan lasts a lifetime.

Tough Mudder Competitor Suspended

I think Manziel is more concerned with this type of supplemental draft.

They made sure he flew an airline other than Asiana, I presume.

To avoid any future investigations, the academy just joined the SEC.

Was there. It was a clusterfuck of PR and media. Ronaldo was ok. The BEST bit was Samuel L Fucking Jackson reading the lineup card.

I was at a game earlier this year, and I had to remind myself not to cheer or clap ever five minutes. It was odd. The…

As a middle-aged man with a relatively happy house hold - nice wife, children still in the house, my life has lost a lot of its excitement. My kids are great and all - love taking the daughter out to her soccer games and even to the mall. My son, however, is a different story. Always holed up in the house, no…

Mark Saxon is the absolute worst. Mistakes players ("Van Slyke was called back up, whoops, nevermind, I just can't tell him apart from Withrow"). Once called Lasorda "LaSorda". Has no knowledge of the farm system. When he tweets out incorrect information, he just refers to them as "typos"

I think all of the above mentioned guys are serviceable. I've never been blown away by any of them, but they do't turn my stomach like Simers and Plaschke do.
