Salt Lake hosted in 2002, and it was a rousing success by all measures. SLC made money off the event, and continues to reap benefits nearly 15 years later. Winter sports, however, are completely different beast. Need mountains and snow; those aren’t going anywhere (well, maybe the snow). Only real venues were opening…

Most shocking part of the video was that Greece was able to travel to an away match.

Damn, son. My monitor just caught fire. Scorcher!

The victim’s statement was incredibly powerful; not sure how it could have fell on such deaf ears with this judge.

Don’t think it is hyperbole to say his knee injury was as wince-inducing as Theisman’s. Seems like a solid dude, so good to see him thriving.

Wait, if the Curry magazine is sitting on your tank, how are you seeing it every time you take a dump? Are you going reverse cowgirl on your toilet or some perverse shit? We have already dealt with the stand/sit debate (people who stand have something deeply and fundamentally wrong with them), now I find out some…

You're with me, retirement.

Amen. I worked as a framer in college; you get a razor blade, dig it out, and move on with your life. What the hell was all this “sterilization” and “Band-Aid” nonsense? Bunch of damn pansies.

Watching Thomas try to figure out his next move was like watching an infant try to figure out calculus. Sweet Jesus.

The beautiful game.

I still like Simmons the writer, even with all of his known foibles. With this said, Simmons’ voice is pure nails-on-a-chalkboard; it is made for the written word. Will be tough to watch his TV endeavors.

I live in Mormon country, and no disputing your assertion. It’s like some weird contest as to how many ridiculous ways they can spell “Ashley.” And the girls’ names are far, far worse than what they do to the boys. Wacky stuff, man.

I think he makes the team. Couple of spots open in the defensive backfield.

Does he get cerebral hypoxia every time he watches “Anchorman?” Damndest thing I have seen in a while.

I was in law school (I know! Shocker that a Deadspin commenter is also a lawyer) in Boston at the time. Remember the verdict coming down, and the stark division between white-and-black students on their view of the decision. And I have no interest in watching this series, no matter how well done/enjoyably campy it…

That’s the one factor that mitigates it. I still think you kick it, but you are correct, one stinking yard!

I think the second one, although a 4th and 6, is much more understandable; a single Denver first down would make any chance of a final desperation drive almost nil. The first one, however, even though only a yard, is far more suspect. With six minutes, and with the way the Pats D was playing at the time (only the…

Great read, Greg. Tough to make a pithy comment when basically I just want to say, “Ditto.” LeBron has done more to support social justice issues than virtually any of his peers, and has seemingly always done so with integrity and forethought. To make such a demand of him is patently unfair, and little more than…

So, wait, your telling me all those NFL commercials claiming to be anti-domestic violence are bullshit? Color me shocked.

I was a center as well, so had that covered on the O side of the ball. As a linebacker, I had three picks, taking one all the way back to the 1/2 yard line. Closest I ever came to scoring, either during or after the games...
