Not usually a huge fan, but I like this one.

Looks like comments were deleted and disabled. I clicked on Show Pending and got...an ad. For Kelly Bluebook.
I don’t even have to see the autoplay videos because I’ve fixed my browser. But I just locked my work computer and a notification is on the screensaver about the thing playing, with an option to pause.
Deadspin’s bosses, turn this ridiculous shit off, it’s not making you money and it’s pissing off all your readers…
They know you’re running the football, so you lose three, four yards, so that wasn’t even in our process as coaches to think about that.
Maybe they would have been more aggressive with a better QB.
Even if a team is allowed to use “Conduct detrimental to the team” to get out of paying a player, they should still have to count that money against the salary cap. Some teams will do whatever they can to save that money, but I bet fewer would do it if they didn't get to turn around and spend it on another player.…
It would be difficult for the Jets to look worse here, but I've said that before and been wrong so many times, so let's see how this plays out...
This is the biggest hit I’ve seen laid on a number 11 who couldn’t handle drinks since Phil Simms.
Networks pay millions for ex-players to explain these things to viewers, and 99 times out of 100 it’s obvious the analyst just tries to wow the viewer with jargon from their playing days and fill the airtime with word salad. Watson is more helpful and succinct in that clip than any of them. Does CTE make them…
Jared Goff knows all that stuff also and could easily explain to reporters the coverage of any team playing them ... with his earpiece in.
Still waiting for that Bryson I would be fine having a conversation with
Gronk confidently telling a neuroscientist that CTE can be fixed is strong evidence that Gronk’s CTE has not, in fact, been fixed.
From the New Scientist write-up:
No it can’t, it is the other things you get that are diagnosed. Alzheimers and other dementia based diseases, depression and anxiety, things like that. Then once they are dead the brain is looked at and “oh yeah, CTE” is the answer.
No joke here, this type of shit is gonna be dangerous and used by NFL defenders to spread misinformation in the coming years. Gronk is just one of the first NFL-humpers to push this kind of thread; -guess he had to lay the groundwork for some TB12 anti-CTE water
I want to live in the world where Carli Lloyd, in uniform, takes a knee during the anthem of a Colts-Falcons game, and a stadium full of 60,000 NFL fans suffer simultaneous brain aneurysms.
The Major sport that’s hardest on your body, is far and away the worst for your brain (and long term risks), but pays far and away the least and guarantees nothing in contracts (and has a history of fucking over it’s retirees) is having a problem with players walking away from the game.
If there was a young man in literally any other profession who made $100 million before he was 30 and decided to retire, he would be lauded. The Wall Street Journal would write thousands of words of wankery praising his acumen and smarts and god bless America.
Andrew Luck’s retirement will only increase the primal urgency of Football Men to find True Football Believers to play football, so that they don’t ever question their faith in it.
