So we just aren’t gonna talk about his hair?

Note the careful phrasing of an “offer” to play there. But not a scholarship offer. Ivies don’t give those.

The league is getting more diverse. There’s a small, ugly segment of very racist hockey fans who will announce themselves in various stupid ways in the next few years.

Oh yeah, racist Celtics fans just despise Thomas and Horford and the idea of trading for Butler. They pine for the good ole days of Bill Russell, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett. They aren’t at all upset about missing out on a chance to get Tim Duncan.

Less than five minutes in to his podcast yesterday: “What if Belichick coached the Raiders? How would he approach this game?”

Counterpoint: without Tom Brady’s advice on sleepwear, what will millions of white families do with their Trump tax cut?

You reference in your argument exactly why Brady is transcendent. He beat The Greatest Show On Turf as a second year player with scrub wideouts. That feels like two careers ago, and yet here we are.

At least it’s a local kid and former BC Eagle making the save.

Tom is more optimistic that Chip Kelly will get a head coaching job than Chip Kelly.

Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Trey Songz, Fabolous, 2 Chainz, Jamie Foxx, Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian, Adrian Brody, and Johnny Manziel.

50 foot banner, climbing gear, and harnesses, and ropes. NFL security is looser than Fred Smoot’s first mates.

The fact that it’s become routine doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily a clean hit. Plenty of borderline or dirty hits don’t get called in practice, and this is no exception. A hit on the numbers is a hit on the numbers: this was a big point of emphasis a few years ago but the refs have gotten away from calling it.

The NFL failing to do anything at all to make this situation better is really buried under a mountain of truly terrible stuff here. There are DOZENS of ways the NFL could protect women and punish abusers, and their stubborn refusal to even entertain them speaks volumes.

From your lips to God’s ears.

Oh man. There’s really no worse place to have a Freudian slip involving snu snu than on a Jezebel post about Serena Williams. May God have mercy on your soul.

The Place Beyond The Pines was truly pretty good. I don’t know how good he really was in it, but I appreciated seeing him in a very different role.

I can’t find the article, but I swear that in 2012 or 2013, there was a “changed man” story about him where he mentions his new tattoos as a kind of before and after: a reminder of what he’s come from and what he wants to be.

$3.4M in dead public funding next year.

If you want to go pro, it’s a hard sell.Very, very poor facilities (see the USWNT’s complaints about the field for a taster) and there’s been a lot of turnover with coaches. If you’re a two star recruit and want to balance your pro ambitions with traditional academics, Hawaii lags behind a ton of mainland programs in…

Marshawn Lynch went to Berkeley, but he doesn’t drop the intelligence card every week because he manages not to perpetually put himself in the position of being an unlikable prick. Richard Sherman is a jackass, even when he’s right.
