On a related note, Shane Vereen and LeSean McCoy were the only running backs to run for over 100 yards this week

The less well known "Kohl Effect", named for the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, states that you can have consistently mediocre athletic performance if you get rid of all your talented players as soon as they want money

This seems exaggerated to me. I used to work for an FBS football team, and there was almost always food and drink available, especially before and after workouts. Bagels were available almost all the time, the player's lounge was stocked with an entire cooler full of chocolate milk and Gatorade, and then there were…

Also, mandatory

He was only defending himself, he heard the other team was known to use the pistol

He always claimed that he could be a superstar. Now he's been walidated

Every Shitty Thing That Happened To The Pittsburgh Pirates:

I love that people think that Daniel Snyder gives a shit about them after they've handed over money for tickets and parking

Can we get him on Phil Simms next?

What a wonderful bit of cross-promotion, this is also Andy Reid's standard order for "first lunch"

The great irony in this is that just a few years ago, Sepp Blatter told MLS that they should align with the FIFA calendar, which MLS doesn't want to do because they don't want to play games in places like Toronto, Montreal, and Chicago in the middle of winter

Just like someone coming out of the Tillman Tunnel to get run into and knocked over by his own teammates

This is a problem that is inherent to all organizations of this type, not just FIFA, so making a new organization with blackjack and hookers won't solve anything. Look at how corrupt the IOC is in a similar way

Sepp Blatter is so multicultural that he allows people to pay bribes in any kind of currency

I never make my bed except when I'm trying to fancy up the place and might have people see it. Otherwise I find it to be an exercise in useless tedium. Let me rearrange all my blankets and pillows and sheets and such so they look nice for the zero people that will see them that aren't me, only for me to tear them…

BREAKING: SATAN HEADED TO GEORGIA?
http://bit.ly/WvJ2IV

From what I remember, that match was all around pretty poorly officiated, usually in favor of Costa Rica, but I generally attribute that to getting home calls. Didn't even know it was a Mexican crew working the game. That seems irresponsible by CONCACAF

Mike Wallace Is Alreaady Bitching About His Cemetery Plot

"Was coming down" is different than "touched". Kaepernick is in bounds until his foot touches down outside the area of play. Matthews completed the tackle when he didn't really need to, which is what moves it from "not a penalty" to "borderline call" for me, but it's very clear that Matthews could not have stopped…
