... nearly every time an American city is asked to foot the bill for one of these boondoggles, it becomes that year's most damning indictment of our ability to effectively govern ourselves via representative democracy, because voters seem to approve them on each and every occasion.

Interesting note in the Vikings' statement, in that they asked him to be respectful to the opinions of others when expressing himself on this issue, and — while I agree completely with everything that Kluwe has had to say on the matter of marriage equality and sexual orientation — the Vikings certainly have a point…

... and with that, Chris Kluwe for Tim Tebow becomes the greatest trade-off in NFL history.

Geno Smith is definitely no Teddy Bridgewater.

That you, Francesa?

North, like Christopher, was a Republican and a conservative member of the San Francisco business community. Until his retirement, at 70, he had been executive vice-president of one of the largest property owners in the city: the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.

And Marv Albert finally understands why his girlfriend isn't into college football.

At least one of those two people didn't "enjoy" the sex they had in college. Cam... Johnny... Jameis... the Heisman Trophy is doing an excellent job of reflecting on the contemporary character of college football nowadays. The trustees of the DAC must be so proud.

Ah, the retreat to the ad hominems. Nothing says, "capitulation" like name-calling. Well played, Internet Hero! Well played, indeed!

Also, it's not the sport that chooses the champion; it's a capricious third-party entity that is not actually a part of the sport itself, but represents money-making interests on the outside of the sport. — and you're not talking about choosing a champion; you're talking about choosing a "national champion."
