Bill Simmons argues (stay with me) that you should judge moves by how opposing fans react.

Many people between 20 and 40 grew up watching the Shaqobe Lakers absolutely dominate the league. On top of the whole Hollywood, Showtime, storied history and massively entitled top tier city thing, Shaq played an extremely ugly and distasteful style of bully ball, and it probably didn't help that so many of his high…

Well, I for one applaud the NFL for finally taking a clear, aggressive, no-nonsense stand against bad PR. It is clear that the league will no longer tolerate actions by players that cause sponsors to threaten cutting business ties. Children, wives, and girlfriends of NFL players can exhale and rest easy tonight,…

Can we just institute a rule that if you worry whether your drink/sport/hat/car/sweater/movie/life is "manly" or not then you are not manly, will never be manly, and should just stay inside your bedroom where no one else has to deal with your stupidity. This also extends to anyone who gives a shit about anything…

has already chosen to cancel Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

I went out to a Mexican restaurant with my then girlfriend. About 5 minutes after we finish eating I start getting that getting that bloated feeling and suddenly my esophagus seemed shorter. I told my girlfriend we had to go, and we paid and left. I figured if we could get home I would be fine, and I rolled down the…

This is the greatest moment in barf history.

Okay, background: I was a really neurotic kid / teenager. Super dramatic. I had a crush on EVERY BOY and none of them ever had a crush on me (and I do not blame them; I was SO WEIRD). I was basically Helga from Hey Arnold. Abandon hope, all boys I had a crush on as a child.

Only a couple times in my life have I asked a woman who was otherwise a stranger for her number. My romantic/sexual encounters have exclusively come through meeting a friend of a friend, and something developing from there.

Screw the family in the last story. They deserved a table by the dumpster. Had my children made fun of a person with special needs, I would have made them apologize. I then would have picked up the family's check and my children would have then had that money deducted out of their allowances until the balance was…

Fisherman: Holy hell! That thing is huge!

The gateway to fan interest in this day and age is the perception of competitive balance. Pete Rozelle understood this, the fans of Montreal understood this, the fans in Kansas City understand this, Major League Baseball didn't and still doesn't. If you cultivate a system where the Yankees can spend three to five…

Texas A&M didn't invent the "12th Man" term either, they just took it and trademarked it (in 1990, well after the Seahawks started using the term). The first usage in the USA appears to in reference to University of Minnesota fans in 1900. European soccer teams were using it even before that.

"I went to a leper colony one time, but those little bastards had no gold and definitely no rainbows."

I played competitive sports as a kid. I also competed in musical and performance competitions, spelling bees, and was a force to be reckoned with on the debate team.

That was the greatest Super Bowl ever. I mean, that was supposed to be so freaking close. The untoppable force of the Broncos' offense meets the immovable object of Seattle's defense.

Maybe part of the reason nobody else hit Ward was because Ward was actively avoiding them, while actively aiming for Stewart.

NCAA to Players: It's not fair that the sports that make the most money should follow a different set of rules from all of the other athletes.
