You can fly for like $150 if you're lucky AND it would get you there faster. Even Acela is like 3 hours and at least $500 cheaper.

The Male Ice Hockey representative from Massachusetts is wrong. John Carlson grew up in NJ. Looks like there's room for one more on the map...

Jonathan Toews, Steve Yzerman, and Mike Babcock analyzed the situation and parsed the details, but still failed to see anything wrong with the design of this particular recharging station.

He wasn't targeted the fewest times of any CB this regular season and probably not even the fewest times of any #1 CB. The reason is he's part of an extremely deep, talented deefnsive corps. When you examine him as a part of that system instead of as a Darelle Revis one-man show, the point is that the QB has to pick…

You must realize that Sherman led the league in picks this year, right?

What's the inverse of race baiting? Race bait baiting? Whatever you call it, Deadspin providing a platform for the lowest common denominator isn't doing the rest of us any good.

Has anyone noticed that Guy Fieri looks like the dude from ICP without the makeup?

Can you imagine being Mrs. Scrivens? One beautiful, 82 degree day in January, you're in the car heading to the pool to work on your tan after your morning yoga and your husband calls you up. I imagine that she heard only bits and pieces of the following sentences as she faded in and out of consciousness, each word…

The Morning Call is actually an outstanding local paper to this day, but the 80's were an extremely tumultuous time in the Lehigh Valley. It doesn't surprise me that the paper was probably more focused on covering the drama and uncertainty behind the impending collapse of Bethlehem Steel.

That's deeply unsettling.

Wait, what about the NCAA would be worth passing on $300,000-$400,000? They'd reach the NFL at the same age, so why would they give up a huge amount of money to be subject to asinine NCAA rules and regulations, have to go to class (vs. an alternative education system), and forgo worker's comp? That makes no sense to…

They'd likely make about the same as a practice squad guy ($102k per season), I can't see that being a problem. As it is, NFL teams pay eight guys that money with no revenue stream associated with it (and they'd pay more of them if they could).

You're missing the part where college football is doing exactly the same purpose and reaching the same market with incredible profits. It is a profitable undertaking, so why is the NFL not there?

The NFL is getting nothing out of it, but it's not like this is an investment. It's an enormous, lucrative market.

But what doesn't make sense to me is that they're getting nothing out of it - at least nothing we can see. It's obviously an enormously profitable market and if the NFL took the effort to invest in Europe, they would have at least looked at a development league at some point. The average NFL career is like 5 years,…

Also, can we just cut straight to the scene where the NFL creates its own development league? Football player might be the only profession in the world where you have to undergo a three+ year internship that involves risking your neck 13 or so Saturdays each year. From a financial and career perspective, I always…

Right, but imagine a situation where football players and basketball players have collective bargaining rights and baseball, hockey, lacrosse, etc. players don't. Does this mean someone like Jameis Winston has rights for comp when he's injured on the football field but not if he's hit by a pitch? And what if a crap…

I guess my point is that the line between "revenue" and "non revenue" is hazy. Hockey, for example, is a reasonably significant revenue sport in the northeast and midwest. As is baseball in the south and west. It's just a taller task for the NCAA to hide the fact that football programs are printing money than it is…
