Given some whispers I’ve heard about Woody Johnson the man, this wouldn’t surprise me.

Curious: you say “the worst each state has to offer,” but does Alabama offer anything good?

At the same time the franchise was in jeopardy.

Further, these companies are often not taking on profitable broadcasting endeavors. They’re doing these things as land grabs, which are supported by deep-pocketed VCs. Disney is a public company, its shareholders probably wouldn’t love a large company taking on very, very risky investments like that.

I’ve never, ever understood the entertainment value of Barstool. It’s the CollegeHumor of sports blogging, or it’s like the guys from Entourage developed persecution complexes and set off to write about sports. Even their (kayfabe?) personalities are painfully flat and unimaginative, PFT Commenter notwithstanding.…

If you discount back the €20m to 13-14 using some index of transfer price increase percentage, I would bet my bottom dollar that Altidore went for more real money than Brooks did. Prices have been absolutely soaring.

Here’s how big a failure The Ringer is: people considered it a major improvement when he DID write an odd column here and there.

When I studied accounting, Eugene Melnyk’s Biovail was one of the most fascinating stories of fraud that I’d ever come across. But when we talk about the worst owners in sports (like Haslam or Del Baggio), Melnyk skates by as just this generally-acknowledged prick as opposed to an established fraudster who was barred…

“I always make stupid jokes about whatevers trending.”

Black bear. They’re like overgrown raccoons, only less likely to be rabid. Totally harmless to people!

Courtois must run a 4.2 40. He made it from the goal to the sidelines in a heartbeat.

I will say this: the type of character who lives in (most of) Boston proper, Somerville, Cambridge, Brookline, Newton, and the immediate suburbs of Boston is a VERY DIFFERENT character from the 128-to-495ers who make up the overwhelming majority of butts in the Fenway seats. That’s not to say racism doesn’t exist in…

I’ve grown up watching, playing, and loving hockey. But I cannot watch NHL games without feeling like the referees play a bigger role in the outcome of the game than any of the guys on the ice.

Ilya Kovalchuk scored that exact same goal dozens of times, but he never got a comparison to Wayne Gretzky.

That Everglades defenseman (#3) brought down a bevy of Inglewood Jacks on that poor jamoke.

Baez, right?

Jose Baez, grandstanding piece of shit.

That hit isn’t just “technically” clean. It’s just about the cleanest open-ice check in the game. The NHL lets a ton of very dirty plays happen because “it’s hockey, not soccer,” but this hit was a beauty and as clean as they come.

“2017 will be better than 2016, with less death.”

Tim Tebow approves.
