That was very John Madden-esque.

I'm just assuming that the "Game of Thrones" reference was talking more along the lines of setting, since it's probably the most popular show in a fantasy setting today. Calling it "Game of Thrones" can help the WSJ audience get a read on the genre. The "For kids" will also include the subtext of "no heavy politics…

Zallard is fuckin' awesome.

Personally, I'd love to ask a running back like him what's a better feeling: trucking a defender en-route to a 10 yard first down, or blowing past guys on the edge for a long TD.

I was watching someone's new TAS video for Mega Man X yesterday, and man, did that make my head hurt from how awesome the theoretical best the game could be played was.

And thus, Black Monday continues, leaving a trail of bodies in its wake.

Just rename the award the Quarterback of the Year award. It seems like it takes an all-time great season from a non-quarterback (Peterson) to win the award from a quarterback having a good-to-great year.

Better than LaVine. His shooting wasn't as piss poor as prior years, was still moving the ball well, and played decent D on the perimeter.

I miss Ricky Rubio at point. :(

Aww, poor Junpei :(

He already sat, what, 8-9 games? Just take some of those game checks to even it out to a six game suspension, and let him keep the remainder of the pay from being on that Exemption list. Then reinstate him for time served, instead of punishing him twice or whatever.

Your delight in the Lakers' awfulness I'd fantastic. I hope they stay horrible all year.

Man, he was having a pretty good season so far too. His offensive game had improved, and he was racking up assists. Shame.

My (probably awful) solution for the AP thing: Reinstate, and take 6 game checks from the games he was still paid for. That's the standard under the DV policy, I guess, and he still keeps two game checks from when he was chilling.

When a Rebel yelled, he cried "more more more... Money. More money. For me."

So... Doom. Excuse me. Doom 2. Gotta have the SSG
