As the podcast ran with the "motherfuckers" already bleeped out by Grantland, I think it's a stretch for others to call it profane. I know many people including the author clearly know this. But many news outlets botched this point. The podcast never ran with any obscenities actually being said. Not bitching…

Simmons contract is up again in 2015, right?

"without leasing a teen," is this story about L.T.?

This explains why the Kings keep trying to trade for him.

Look if people want to be upset with Hope, my list is: (1) the last round of photos that hit the web. You are doing that wrong. Those were not keepers; (2) married Stevens; (3) much cooler sounding fake name; (4) seems like an odd duck; and (5) maybe how the media is covering this messy story.

Carlos approves!

"I mean Stevie Ray Vaughn is dead and we can't get Jon Bon Jovi into a helicopter? Come on folks." Leary

Geale did provoke him.

I recall their first run at them in the late 90s. They leagues loved it for the TV rights bidding wars, but in the end people were just trained to get TV sports from ESPN. 15 more years of that and 2-4 ESPN Channels in most homes ... they can make a dent and slowly grow a share if they make better TV ... but they…

A trade would be super easy because of the Haywood contact they traded for which is a 10 million cap hold that is waivable for new team. As such, they could do Wiggins and Haywood for Love and extend him with Bird Rights.

Yes

No, that violates HIPPA

Brad Millard who had a good sophomore season at Saint Mary's in the late 90s, stayed in school instead of declaring for the 1997 draft, kept breaking his feet, and never played in the NBA.

Super unclear that law will apply. It comes down to complex federal choice of law. Nba will claim staff of ny based corp first acted based upon ny broadcast and kicked him out in Ny. As Donald has confirmed the statement to the nba and addressed them publicly, I can see how he excludes all of it even if ca law…

The hypothetical but almost unicorn-ish sports violate the anti-trust statue suit as filed by an owner that expressly waived his right to bring such a suit. (They probably do.). He will most likely file in fed court, get demurred and sent to arbitration per his agreement with NBA. After that is over, the pariah with…

Ironically, unions will most likely opt for the $5,000 stipends the power conferences want to further separate from the pesky teams that pop up. At best, the top players can get access to a set number of second tier stipends. These unions aren't going to be comprised solely of 3-4 hoops players and 5-20 football…

Espn : Tebow = Deadspin : college kids should be paid.

No, the author is. They've chopped out women's sports, where a few schools have some major revenue on the ground they don't make enough profit. That's not the NLRB's test and using that test to the larger system leads to absurd outcomes.

According to Frampton, meanwhile, the answers to the two most salient issues here are fairly straightforward. Title IX implications were dealt with pretty succinctly in a recent piece in The New York Times. ("The rights of workers in the highly commercialized college sport entertainment industry ought not to be…
