This is loooong...but stay with me....

“Libel-by-implication” does have judicial precedent. For example if Ertz were to lose a sponsor over this or he can prove that he lost out on some other potential earnings (i.e. he had an autograph session in Alabama next week that was canceled) I think he’d definitely have a case against Fox News.

Can we get every single referee that will be involved in a Russia match and all of their extended families in protective custody right now? Now I’m not saying that I actually think that Russia would be so brazen as to try to cheat on a massive scale at a major international athletics competition. What a far-fetched…

It’s not even a hypothesis. They start with the conclusion and work backwards. That’s not how you are supposed to science!

Forget about next year. As you’d expect from Foles, he’s playing the long game. Teams that could be needing a starting QB in 2019 - Miami, Cincy, Pittsburgh, Jax, Denver, San Diego (LA, whatever), NYG, New Orleans.

Keep in mind also that not everybody’s taste buds are the same, so seasoning something “perfectly” is not going to be a one-size-fits-all solution - even if it’s the agreed-upon way that a dish should taste.

This one goes the other way, but fuck it...Some Like it Hotspur

We don’t even know if the volleyball coach has ever even met Rosen. He/she could just be aware that one of his/her players is dating him. How dare the coach offer the opportunity for Highsmith to speak with someone who knows Rosen intimately rather than spew generic platitudes about someone they may not even know! The…

We are trying to figure out what in this weird interaction, where he found out Rosen’s girlfriend was a volleyball player, bothered Highsmith about Rosen. I am not personally weighing the merits of volleyball players vs. cheerleaders, but to an old-school FOOTBALL GUY, I could certainly see that being the case.

Yeah it is huge in the college game because they use it as an assessment of a coach’s recruiting ability.

Yeah you would always hear about stuff like that from baseball scouts as well. Not the married part since it’s mostly teenagers we’re talking about, but always whether they have a hot girlfriend - because they see it as a direct correlation to confidence.

I’m thinking it was just the simple fact that he’s dating an athlete instead of a cheerleader. Some kind of backward idiot logic that cheerleaders are subordinates of football players and the dated notion that the QB should be dating the prettiest cheerleader. “If Josh Rosen can’t even hook a cheerleader, how is he…

He would be a GREAT fit for a tanking team whose payroll is super low and needs to get above the salary floor. He’s still a name and a draw. He will help you lose games and sell tickets - which is a dream scenario for a tanking team. But the risk is how much he will stifle the development of your young players. It’s…

I don’t know. Occam’s razor says the whole thing’s more likely part of a liberal conspiracy to prevent Fox from revealing evidence of Hillary’s murder of Seth Rich because he was about to blow the whistle on the Pizzagate pedophiles’ involvement in Benghazi.

Yeah at no point did that cop address her or try to stop her from speaking. He did move closer to her, but always with his back to her. At one point, during the chanting, he did address somebody in the audience protesting to let her finish, but I took that as a sort of declaration of, “I’m not stopping her.” When the…

Our own Timothy Burke tweeted out a picture I took of the “Surrender Cobra Michigan Fan” at a Detroit Lions game that I posted in the comments of a Deadspin article after the Lions lost to the Packers on a Hail Mary a couple years back. Burke’s tweet had a link to my comment saying that the picture was taken at the…

It’s only for a player’s first career homer, but it remains one of the best traditions in sports (on equal footing with the NHL tradition of tricking a rookie to go out for the pregame skate alone).

The ball being an inch in diameter smaller in the women’s game definitely helps. It doesn’t sound like much, but some of those “inside of the rim and out” misses in the men’s game would go down with a smaller ball. But smaller ball or not, to have 3 players shooting 44% or higher from deep is crazy. UConn is so good…

If 3am means you take your last customer at 2:55am or whenever, at that point just lock the door. It’s that simple. You can’t blame customers for being able to enter an establishment while it was still open and expecting service.
