This’ll be fun to see what it does to the election on Friday

This gets my Seal of approval

Can’t we just all agree that both versions of the series have completely lost their way at this point?

Damn Good Kinja

Yeah, I can’t believe they didn’t even give him community service for shoplifting those crab legs.

You’re right, of course.

I agree, but with the caveat that this should be the case so long as the athlete doesn’t get special treatment by the courts due to being rich and/or famous

It helps that the team hosts organized spelling and diction practice in the middle of games

I wonder if anybody actually sat some of these guys down and explained to them that they’re literally costing themselves money because they can’t shoot free throws. I know it doesn’t matter to Shaq who was getting the max deal he could, but roleplayers and journeymen would be able to add at least a couple points to…

While we’re having a meaningful conversation about free throw shooting, everybody’s favorite sports topic, why doesn’t DeAndre Jordan start shooting them underhand, Rick Barry style? I mean, look at every junkball hurler in baseball, at some point you exhaust everything you can do when one part of your game is so…

I hope this goes 35 innings, A-Rod pitches 5 scoreless for the win, and every player gets pneumonia

I hereby retract my previous complaint

The Boston Bombing story is a sports story as much as Harrison Ford crashing his plane on a golf course is a sports story.

Which should also be done away with. You’re missing the opportunity to mount a faux argument against my position by saying I want to do away with 5 second calls and backcourt violations. Think of the madness! Players just dribbling out the shot clock and passing the ball all over the court willy-nilly.

Goddammit, isn't this what Teapot Dome was about? Did the Republicans cut that part of American Exceptionalism from the history books too?

Maybe it's mentioned above and my reading comprehension just sucks, but did you have a variable for free kicks?

This isn’t really true outside of recent rule changes in college baseball. Football and hockey both generally see rules trickle up from the high school/juniors and college levels when it comes to safety measures.

Consider me a basketball libertarian. I don’t like a rule that makes it illegal to play certain defenses for any reason besides safety. It might not make sense to do it, but there’s no rule preventing the offense from keeping one guy under the other basket to cherry pick, so why are there rules preventing what a…

I get your reasoning, but I can’t stand defensive 3 seconds. if I want to pack 4 guys into the lane and dare you to shoot over me, you should have to do that, and I think that should go for the NBA too. The real problem with college basketball is that there are too many players who are bad at basketball. It’s like…

Man, that dub was some of the first anime I ever saw. Takes me back...
