Chicks dig the uninvited back rub. Me and Joe Biden do that all the time and we do great with the birds. They love us.

Right. He is 59, maybe 58 and 11 months. I was off a couple of years. My point stands. He is far too old to get “his shot.” The median age for ALL college coaches in less than 50. I can’t find what the median age for college coaches to get their FIRST college coaching job is, but I’ll bet it’s less than 40 and less…

Not stupid, but yeah, 33 miles (roundtrip 66) is a long way when you have to go to work the next day, and the cost of living in Atlanta is much higher in Jacksonville, so stuff like parking, food, gas, etc will be much lower. But then if they are poor they can’t afford to go to a football game anywhere even if they…

“Sooner or later”???

According to The Google, the median income for teachers of all levels and experiences is about $53-55K depending on the source and date of the information.The salary seems to max out at about $75K for a late career high school teacher with advance degrees. But according to a report at World News “The BLS reports the…

I know I am being overly picayune here, but that stadium is not a “Factory of Sadness.” If it were, each game, each set back, and each disappointment would look like all the others, mass produced with interchangeable screw-ups, bad decisions, and failed hopes. Nope. Each game is small batch-of-one and colorfully…

Since Rocky IV came out the year AFTER this article was written, adding that move to this article would have blown up the whole space-time continuum.

I love that all these comments don’t seem to realize that this article was written in 1982 and was not written “for this site” and the author is not a loser who writes for it, but wrote for a completely different magazine called Film Comment and this is clearly a reprint.

Considering there are over 200 million white people in America and only about 34 million black people, I’d say that’s a very safe and boring observation. Of course you didn’t confine your observation to the USA, so maybe it is more daring than it looks. Of course, considered globally, the most people to see this…

Yes. The invention stories we’re told in grade school are rarely as straight forward as we are taught. However, the Whitney-Cotton Gin myth is particularly egregious in that perpetuates not only the myth of sole invention, but also the myth of the ingenuous Yankee inventor and tinkerer and the South as scientific and…

Do you think anyone in Cleveland was able to make it to work today?

They win some, they lose some, they win some championships some years, but mostly not, but it’s always a lot of fun to watch.

With all due respect to your history factoids, it is more than passing likely that Eli Whitney did NOT in fact invent the cotton gin. He certainly patented it in 1793, but gaining a patent and doing the actual inventing are two completely different things. It is more likely, given the evidence, that Whitney copied a…

New?? Losing a big game to a rival with a last minute field goal block returned for a TD is sooooo 2013. I believe the Urban Dictionary defines it as riding the crimson tide.

And not only will they continue to buy all that overpriced shitty crap and make Browns’ owners (yes, I could google it, but it’s not important) even richer, they do so knowing full well from experience that the current team and owners will move the Browns to another city for a few more sky boxes and a slightly newer…

People also have different conceptions of what prayer is. Praying for a supreme being’s direct intercession in events is only one form and at one end of a spectrum. On the other end is something many people might call meditation and is more of a quiet contemplation or internal conversation that seeks not direct…

There have been TWO stories on the Keenum concussion on Deadspin.

Honest question. What would they do during the offseason to warrant full-time pay? Would they retrain 40 hours a week for the entire off-season? Would they get paid so much during the season they wouldn’t need to work during the off-season?

Oh, no. That rule has Chicago bleeding all over it.

There is a fairly faint whistle as Brady is dropping back. At first I thought that was a ref whistle, but when the REAL ref whistle comes in later it seems clear the previous whistle is well away from a mic and probably in the stands. Just my 2 cents.
