“Looking back, I shouldn’t have used those words, and I wouldn’t use them today... We need to end the school-to-prison pipeline and replace it with a cradle-to-college pipeline.”

Russell is 6th in the league in rookie minutes per game. He averages 27, 3 mpg less the league leaders.

Why is it impossible that he would be cut, when he’s obviously washed up, he earns 14 million and the team is trying to extend his backup for $10m a year? You think they’re going to spend $24m on the position next year for this version of Manning to keep playing quarterback?

This is a well-reported story.

His offenses finished 2nd, 5th and 12th in the NFL in points per game, and his offenses at Oregon were concededly great, so I think he knows something about moving the football. Complexity does not equate to innovation except in small minds like Evan Mathis and, apparently, Tom Ley.

Boom! Take that, Bush family. You’ve just been hit with a bunch of mean spirited metaphors by the hipster Rick Reilly. Or as Burneko might put it: “he is like the Rick Reilly of hipsters, but he eschews from his typewriter the standard ink ribbon. Instead his many-worded metaphors clatter upon the page cloaked instead…

This is all made worthwhile by the counter protestors standing there with their signs, trying to figure out who to counter protest.

NO, IT IS ALL OF US WHO ARE ROCKED TO OUR COLLECTIVE CORES BY YOUR TRUTHSPEAKING TO POWER VIA YOUR WEEKS OLD TAKEDOWNS OF LONG FAILED CANDIDATES WHO WERE POLLING IN THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS!

Reprinting the same article twice is breathtakingly lazy. Cutting and pasting other people’s work for a living and adding three sentences of sass? Now that’s hustling.

Nigel Hayes is a cagey mutha’.

Just in the nick of time!

So urgent his article, a thousand word “think piece” on a candidate who dropped out a month ago. I eagerly anticipate your thoughts on Fred Thompson.

I don’t get it. Weren’t you saying you didn’t drink road beers/weren’t an alcoholic? So why would your wife/kid leave you? Just because your jokes don’t make any sense?

Maybe the road soda could have helped. Sorry to hear that, though.

You must not have kids or a wife waiting for you at home to count your beers. That's why the road soda was invented, man.

It’s so funny that I expected the video to be good. Curse you, Tom Ley.

This post is measured, thoughtful, interesting and smart.

Definitely not competent. Just a 2-time nba coach of the year, who’s been to the conference finals in both conferences. As someone who cut and pastes bear videos for a living, Tom Ley is certainly qualified to assess his competency.

Patriots were clearly moving the ball better than the Broncos in the second half. I wouldn’t take 3 points off the board with 6 minutes left, and all timeouts remaining in an 8-point game, because you can be fairly certain you’re going to get the ball back and be in position to win, as opposed to needing a two-point…

He’s not serious about it. He’s in it to make money like any number of performers in music, television and movies, many of whom have won Oscars, Grammys and Emmys on something other than pure merit. Macklemore’s most savvy pr move, probably the biggest factor in his winning a grammy, was to use rap to call out the…
