This sort of thing needs to happen pretty much every time.

I enjoy seeing Michigan getting the shit kicked out of them as most sane people do, but how in the hell does Brady Hoke leave Shane Morris in the game after he takes numerous awkward/clearly painful hits to the same leg and then gets destroyed on an uncalled targeting hit? He was dazed, hurt, and hobbling around, and…

Brady Hoke just put a guy with a fucking concussion back in the game for a play. Dear lord I know it's terrible when someone loses their job, but only a truly awful person devoid of any apathy would do something like that. I hope this is a with-cause firing and he isn't given a goddamn cent as part of being released…

It's really encouraging to see that Johnny Manziel is taking time out of his weekend off to hone his "stand on the sideline watching your team lose" skill.

NFL RUMOR ALERT: Rex Ryan pushing extremely hard to land Ryan Tannehill.

You don't turn down a half of million dollars from your born-on-third-base owner-by-inheritance. You take it and thank all the fans who petitioned for you. Then, after taxes, you use the entire amount to buy the entire capacity of 39,504 fans a $9 tallboy at Target Field on Opening Day. Yes, even the kids. Why is…

How weird. Bill Simmons routinely questions the integrity of an ESPN partner. How often has he accused the NBA of rigging the draft lottery? I mean, he probably makes 50 references to the NBA rigging the lottery per year. That's a direct assault on the integrity of that league with no evidence whatsoever. …

Is Bill Simmons that guy you thought was a pussy, but when someone is about to nail you in a bar fight, Simmons hits him over the head with a pool cue?

So basically it just makes ESPN look that petty and childish. LOL.

I'm a lawyer. Goodell is a public figure which means the burden goes way up on proving libel/slander. He would essentially have to prove that Simmons called Goodell a liar for malicious purposes, while knowing that Goodell was, in fact, telling the truth. I understand what you're saying re: ESPN covering its ass, but…

Holy fuck. What did that idiot on First Take get for insinuating (and then defending) that Janay Palmer may have kind of deserved a punch? It was a week, right? If that?

"and those engaged in our editorial operations must also operate within ESPN's journalistic standards."

ESPN suspends Simmons for three weeks for saying what we're all thinking about the NFL, meanwhile the Dr. V article remains up on Grantland's archive so "young journalists can learn from our mistakes."

Watch out, Magary, you might get some competition around here soon.

Terrific job, Bill. Seriously.

Ray Rice gets two weeks (initially).

Sorry. Title IX rape case. You are correct, the authorities determined insufficient evidence exists to file criminal charges. But you're mincing words. It's an allegation of rape at the core of all this hullabaloo, no? And although the D.A. declined to file charges it does not necessary follow that this coddled,…

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who beat the shit out of black children, and the attorneys who find clauses within the law that allow criminals to continuously beat black children. These are their stories.

His Pants are probably too tight for it to fit
