The Vince Carter one for Connecticut sort of baffled me, but then I took a look at who Mitchell & Ness were selling and it made slightly more sense. I can guarantee that if they sold anything Whalers-oriented, this would look much different. On a side note, I also find it interesting how well Whalers gear sells…

This is more than a little amusing. If you have pride in your country, I can understand since I certainly have that in mine. I also would not question the level of passion for soccer in the country.

Agreed - I don't think WHLL HQ is the problem as much as the teams at lower levels that get blinded by their desire to win games.

That's really the perfect word.

Absolutely! It should have NEVER gotten past the district level.

I've coached youth and Little League Baseball for quite a while and it's just so ridiculous the extent to which adults will do things for their own egos that just ultimately harm the kids they coach (who often are their own children). If you want to go out and just pull together an over-the-top superstar team as a…

Can we finally start acknowledging that QBs are likely some of the toughest players on the field? Defensive players who lay big hits typically get this designation, but I keep thinking it's far tougher to hang in the pocket and wait a split second longer for your receiver to get free and make a throw, knowing full…

The most amusing thing of all of this is that Kevin Hart is probably the first person to give Winston this advice, ever. I can't even begin to imagine the number of yes-men and sycophants any high level athlete must have. Who ever tells these guys "No"? Anyone?

While not a Lakers fan, I always assumed Jim Buss was the weak link in the team management that was causing the utter wackiness since Dr. Buss passed. Apparently, it's broader than that. The irony is thick in assuming everyone else is the "loser" as the Lakers continue to degrade...

In perhaps the most compelling part of all, not even CrossFit HQ is wading into this one (and they troll seemingly everything).

Proudest moment ever as a UConn alum and current Nutmeg State taxpayer. I like to think that some portion of my cash is financing that luxurious hair. Some way. Somehow.

While it's no where close to ideal behavior, I cannot be the only one who gets a bit sick of the personality-free robo QBs that seem to be populating the NFL. Of course we want the players to be mature and, most of all, productive, but I enjoyed this if, for no other reason, that it bucks that trend.

Pretty sure any time someone has to bust out the "It's very obvious" that something connotes respect and honor... it's probably not all that obvious.

Very solid pick. Nicest beach I've ever been on - the sand is like baby powder.
