Except the douchey way he handled it ended up raising a ton of money for charity and he has subsequently said that if he had to do it all over again, he would've handled things completely different. He has followed that up by squelching all "are you gonna opt out?" talk in relation to 2014's Free Agency window. So,

Yeah, you definitely explored the studio space on that one!

I was wrong to go there, but I'm a horrible human being...

Here's the problem with RG3 in Washington: Before he got there, WAS was more than just "all we need is a QB" bad. They had many missing pieces. So he came in, they were shaky at first, then they went on a run and made the playoffs. That papered over all their other deficiencies (their receiving corps sucks, their

We part ways a little bit there. I think he does still wanna play. I can't imagine someone as vain as he appears to be wants his legacy to end the way it would if he were to sit out 211 games (because really? He's gonna be worth a damn after that? He's inching toward shitty already.). And I do believe he

Yeah, but Miley Cyrus danced with some of her black friends on a television program. George who?

I'm with you 100%. I loathe A-Rod. I'm absolutely confident that the storming out was contrived. I'm absolutely confident that he practiced for this "surprise" interview. And I absolutely agree with his basic point. This 211 game suspension is the slow motion version of that MNF-ending "non-penalty" where there

I like most of these, but as a Red Wings fan, I don't love the "simplicity" of the Target Wings design. That's not a winged wheel, baby!

I get that. I'm just not making either one of those arguments. This is, to me, a prime example of "the play should be decided on the field." There was a penalty in the end zone, committed by the defensive team as time expired. There are specific rules for dealing with that scenario and none of them are "tie goes

Also relevant: The defender you're saying had the only reasonable shot at the ball in play touches Gronk at the beginning of the GIF, then takes three steps and makes the interception. If the judgment call that it wasn't interference is based on the notion that Gronk couldn't have changed his momentum to get back to

"The ref in the back of the end zone who threw the flag threw it because he saw the receiver interfered with."

"If I were forced to make a judgement, like the refs were, I would judge that he had no chance to catch it because Brady threw it 5 yards short and right to a defensive back cutting in front of the play."

There'

Thank you for writing this. It was very well put. The idea that the intent of anyone who conceptualizes or creates something can just be cast aside for whomever comes along and decides to interpret it is problematic on so many levels. The whole conversation around this boils down to the perceptions of a bunch of

So unless everyone accepts and appreciates your satire as intended, it missed the mark. If any one person doesn't like your attempt to satirize something or has the point go right over their head, well... Sorry. You're just bad at satire.

Got it.

Horseshit call. That was holding AND pass interference on the same play.

If assholes deserve bad things, trust me, Hagetaka is neck deep in shit with a face full of boils right now. I'm not sure how he types like that, but he does it.

That's a really elaborate explanation for why a flag was picked up after a ref saw a defensive player wrap both arms around an offensive player and push him toward the back of the endzone... more than five yards from the line of scrimmage... while the ball was in the air... Football has had many evolutions in its

Maybe she's always had an irrational fear of people wearing hooded sweatshirts?

I don't know you, but the fact that you want the Puddles Pity Party Band to play your wedding makes me 97% in love with you already.
