Been reading Simmons since ‘98 or so, and his career is far more good than bad. And there is no denying he pioneered the model used today; looking at you Deadspin. I see him going to NBC, and actually following more of a Dan Patrick model.

Wait, so all of those anti-domestic violence ads featuring crying NFL players are total bullshit? Ok, got it.

Seem to missing a couple of key points entirely, which effectively undermines what would appear, on its face, to be an articulate critique. First, Drew is a columnist, and Essentially his sole job is to offer his opinion; not only is neutrality not a job requirement, it's actually 180 degrees opposite of his actual…

Agreed. If Tennessee takes him because he is there and they get no viable offers, so be it. Not the worst thing ever. If a team trades a shit-ton of capital to move up and get him, and that's ehT he is, then that is bad.

Hot take coming! I see Mariota bust potential to be fairly low. Worst case, Alex Smith type player; never a star, but more than adequate and capable of taking a team to the playoffs; maybe not more. Best case, Kaepernick at his best, without the manic-depressive like swings we have seen from him.

Is she hot enough to justify being such an insufferable bitch? Borderline.

First video I have seen involving police that did not involve a minority getting capped in weeks. Progress!

Jazz fan here (yeah me!). It is well known that Sloan went to Kevin O’Connor and said “him or me” in regards to Wilkiams. O’Connor allegedly hesitated, obviously wanting to work it out and keep both, and likely (reasonably) believing cooler heads would prevail. Hesitation was enough, and Sloan packed up after a home…

And “Chicago” being prominently displayed on the baseline.

Hornets were really accommodating back then, placing the Bulls logo at mid-court and all on their home floor.

I say this without hesitation - Bo Jackson is the greatest male American athlete of all time. His career being cut short can’t diminish his transcendence, even for a short period of time. His high was simply higher than anyone else’s. Ever. Have to go back to someone like Jim Thorpe to even start making reasonable…

Old man take here: I watched about 30 minutes of Game 3 of the Lakers/Celtics NBA finals last night on NBA TV. It was infinitely more enjoyable than even the NBA game today, let alone college. Players actually could make a 15 foot jump shot. Action went up and down the court; no grind it out, 22 seconds of back…

To be fair, he is a more a hair puller/scratcher type, not a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick type, so legs aren't an integral part of his assaults on women.

Yeah me! High five!!

Did I get here too late to make a broken hip joke?

0 for 8 on Best Picture Nominees here, and may watch 2 of them on DirecTV at some point. A middle-aged male with lots of disposable income clearly not the target demographic here. But, in regards to the crazy girlfriend, mine snuck into my house and stood at the foot of my bed watching me sleep. Not sure for how…

I live in SLC; my son had a baseball tournament in Omaha this past summer. Before the road trip, I took my large SUV in to get washed/detailed. I proceed to drive all the way from SLC to Omaha, all the while noticing that my acceleration is poor, handling is sluggish, and I just generally think my car is crapping…

Never saw Husker Du, about 3-4 years outside their demo. Did see Bob's next (non-solo) iteration, Sugar, in 1993-94. Without a doubt, the loudest show I have ever seen. Wall of fucking sound. He has been incredible for over 3 decades, and his newer stuff, while it can still rock your nuts off, also reflects his…

A 13-year-old on my daughter's ski team was training in Oregon. Fell, obviously, backwards on to an edge. His right ass cheek was split all the way open to, basically, to the back of his pelvic bone. It was horrific.

Gronk is my spirit animal. I love him so much...
