Sure, play right into their apocalyptic ideology and create a few hundred thousand martyrs in the process, not to mention all the other bonuses that come with a nuclear detonation, like a drifting radiation cloud in a region where the west has damned few friends as it is. Great thinking, what could possibly go…

Yeah about that...ESPN, Fox, NBC, and I’ll even throw in CBS, couldn’t do this even if they wanted to. The NFL has such a stronghold on them with the TV contracts that any reporter for them would probably be fired if they even thought about publishing a series like this.

“claimed that Holder merely slipped and fell”

Dayuuim Deadspin. Gotta give it you this is some great muckraking, and journalism. ESPN, Fox Sports, NBC may want to take notes.

(You’re missing an important variable: the NFL has significantly cracked down on how tackles are made, as well as late hits that are more dangerous because they’re unexpected, over the last decade plus.

(This is possibly the best thing to happen to the Mets. If only Collins gets shitcanned)

O.o

Two strange things happened with the reporting of the Nationals offer, which I wasn’t really able to delve into in the piece.

Yeah, the Mets lost that game, but really the Royals won it. Sometimes being good just can’t beat being great. There’s always next year.

When Christian people talk about being persecuted for their faith this behavior is the problem. They are being called out for being racist, sexist, ageist assholes who don’t seem to follow any moral compass besides mean girls. Not for believing in JC.

Oh Rashomon, just one of the about 12 movies from Kurosawa I would qualify as “God Damn Masterpiece”.

I thought the fight scenes in the 70s Musketeers movies were the most realistic. They look like they were trying to kill each other by any means possible. And Christopher Lee was a great theatrical swordsman and a skilled fencer, but he was very convincing here with the “realistic” style:

From Gladiator to Braveheart, most historical fiction about fighting with swords is kinda wrong, influenced more by performance art than how people actually fought each other with blades.
