And I’m not making up the fact Volodya’s basically ordering that his team win

Everybody understands that there is essentially a fix in for SKA (Volodya’s hometown team) as we speak, right?

He looks like a great player, and I appreciate the KHL caveat, but man... that clip in the header features some of the most shameful defending I’ve ever seen at a professional level.

I operate with the assumption that NFL GMs are *always* playing the disinformation game and disparaging the prospects they want, hoping to draft them at a lower position.

I clicked on the Boston Globe link and those text messages mostly just seem flirty to me? And it doesn’t seem to be one-sided flirtiness from a guy pursuing someone who was clearly uninterested, she sent a lot of positive messages too and they went on dates together it looks like.

I’m usually sympathetic to…

I have never sent a shirtless photo to a woman I did not want to have sex with because that would be weird and creepy and absolutely signal that I wanted to have sex with them.

Yep, you must see white of the ice between the puck and the goal line.

cut bait also means to cut the line, cutting the bait off the rod. Basically disengaging from the situation. Either works with this expression

You should watch the video because, in it, Walton actually says what is offensive about it to him. If you’re saying you can’t understand how anyone could be offended by a major program college coach trying to arrange a $100,000 under the table payment to a recruit, well, you have a different threshold for being…

Why does Deadspin, which uses the tagline ‘Death to the NCAA’ still cover college sports and therefore remains a cog in the NCAA’s fucked-up business machine? It’s like employing Hamilton Nolan and then having one of your sites run a podcast with McDonald’s. It makes no sense.

So here’s the issue, money laundering and wire fraud are still illegal, even if the NCAA is bullshit (and it is).

Man that is messed up, and right after he shoots Richie Incognito, I really think we need to take his guns away from him.

America 2018, where people train their entire lives and hone their skill to a degree that they’re one of the 10 best in the world...All with the hope that one day, they can land on a bullshit reality competition that featured this:

For what it’s worth, I totally believe his explanation.

It’s very hard to watch this video—and especially this video, which zeroes in on Redick’s message—and not wonder whether J.J. Redick is, in fact, trying to smuggle an insult into what is otherwise meant to be a greeting.

Why would the U.S. be more handicapped by not using NHL players than Canada is? With NHL players, Team Canada is pretty much an NHL all-star team. I can see how the European nations, especially Russia, aren’t as impacted. But I don’t think Canada has any top-level players opting to play overseas rather than in the…

What the fuck is wrong with those guys?

8-0 isn’t that bad for a team that has never really sniffed the top 20 in IIHF rankings. Wonder if Canada can score 15+

My personal hero is the reporter who tried to press VKM for details on how the XFL would be safer for players?

Why did I just wake up and for a moment thought it was 20 years ago and the Patriots had no fans.
