Modern Turkey has taken strong measures to remain as secular a nation as possible. This identity has changed recently, but it would still be pretty shocking to me if “Allahu Akbar” has really been uttered as a rallying cry for the national football team. That’s one part of the explanation I don’t buy at all.
How badly do Deadspin’s editors want to [sic] the ever-living shit out of the email from an employee of an educational institution?
This rule idea has been thrown around in the NHL for ages and it’s absolutely awful. All it’s going to do is encourage teams to sit their injured scrubs for even longer and claim they’re injured. Then you start doubting the integrity of coaches and management. If you thought NFL fans are already rabid, just wait til…
“Wenger is right.”
No two names bright you right back to dial-up AOL days like Arturs Irbe and Sandis Ozolinsh.
Quite the homage to New Zealand’s All-Blacks winning the Rugby World Cup.
Two people, actually. Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar. Baker’s blood was found in Ray’s limo.
From the PFT article, the Patriots have requested the NFL sweep their visitor’s locker room before every game because they are concerned that a team might plant and “discover” bugs. The NFL has refused.
That’s true, but it also undersells the impact of Theo’s acquisitions. When you think back to that series, you remember Schilling, Ortiz, Foulke, Bellhorn, Roberts, and Millar. Of course Pedro, Manny, and Damon were crucial, but Theo’s “guys” made an enormous difference.
No one was trying to keep it from Flores. Didn't his manager tell him straight up? If the team is trying to keep it from him, they more or less control the bubble around him while he's out there.
Boston Boot Company. Horween Leather, affordable price, range of designs from unique to traditional.
Wake me up when he's pushing HGH. Until then, no one cares.
McDavid has the best offensive instincts of any young player I can remember. It’s like he sees the ice as it is 1.5 seconds from reality. He just knows exactly where to be and what to do. Some guys have the vision but not the wheels or puck skills to take advantage. McDavid is the total package.
I had the very fortunate opportunity to hear Dan Kenary speak about the ESOP last year. The reasons he cited were rooted in loyalty to his employees and his desire to see the legacy of his team’s work continue under the leadership of people who have been there all along. It was a hell of a thing to do. Not bad for a…
He’s only had the job for a few years, but Jarmo has to be feeling some heat, too. The roster is a disastrous mishmash of promising young players, irrelevant aging overachievers, and hero-to-zero flameouts.
There were two layers of deception and the only player on the field who got tricked was their own “center.” Bravo.
Ditka without a doubt. The over-enthusiastic laugh is a classic fart-covering tactic. Have you ever seen him laugh like that?
If it didn't work and the Steelers lost, the NFL (if I'm allowed to reference it's likeness) would be buried in controversy over the clock fiasco. If that happened in Foxboro, there would be torches in the streets.
Hey, you know what? Fuck Roger Goodell for making this all public record. But double fuck Deadspin for leeching off something that never should have been public record in the first place and using it to color a narrative someone else started. Russell Wilson is out there personally endorsing this hocus pocus and he…
