I knew all of that, but how does any of that make her more deserving than Wambach?

Yeah, though I think 85 is considered a threshold point due to publishers putting rewards on hitting that point. I think Fallout 3: New Vegas famously got an 84.

Looking at your other posts, you seem to find a lot of things to complain about, and are certainly not happy.

Right, she is clearly a good player, even a really good player. But this is the USWNT, and there are no shortage of really good players to pick from. By picking her over Lloyd and Wambach, two other really good players (Lloyd has 69 goals in 202 appearances as a midfielder, Wambach has 183!! in 249), I think it sets a…

This is a huge step forward to include the women. But I can’t help but feel that adding Morgan over Lloyd or Wambach presents a poor precedent. Rather than picking the woman who was most important to the US’s victory or the most dominant player ever at the end of her career, they pick the marketable, attractive star.…

It’s really bad. I think they were just hoping it was all caused by #distractions, which NFL teams love to use to paper over real flaws.

Imagine sitting in a war room and saying to yourself, “Well, he threw 18 picks last year in an abominable conference.”

I mean it was already the plot of a Futurama episode, so you can watch that if you want.

I really want the Autonomous Car to come around and allow people to really reinvent the interior space of a car. Who needs for all the seats to be forward facing? Hell, just hook me up with a mobile netflix machine and I am good to go, regardless of my long commutes.

Especially considering this post got approved by someone on friday it casts the whole Gawker staff as petulant children who are throwing a tantrum because they can’t throw rocks at others.

Is the Crab Rangoon guy secretly Pagan Min from Far Cry 4?

The NCAA is stopping them currently, not the players.

I think not having an online brand would be an argument for overpaying Simmons to create one for you. Maybe a joint production of CBS and TNT/TBS so he can cover more NBA stuff?

My guess would be NBC or CBS Sports. Fox Sports has chosen to go down the frat personality direction. NBC could totally offer him a TV show if he would take that instead of cash. Have you seen the shows they’ll fill air time on NBC Sports with? Even former Grantland contributors Men in Blazers have a weekly TV show.

Like I said, he might lose the next owner some money, but the prestige of giving ESPN a middle finger may be more valuable than awards.

What I’m saying is you need a Bill Guthridge to navigate through the transition so you can get the next big coach without having them squirm under the shadow of their predecessor. That’s how UNC was able to pick up Roy Williams George Karl Larry Brown Matt Doherty.... Oh. Welp. I guess some times you need two…

There was a comment in a recent Grantland NFL podcast that seemed to imply Robert Mays could be leaving.

I think it is more of a case of it being impossible to be the guy who replaces a popular and charismatic founder. I know “founder’s syndrome” is when the gravitational pull of a founder hurts a non-profit or business, but I don’t what the term is for when you replace a huge founder.

I don’t suppose it is possible Simmons could try to recreate the site with much of the same staff somewhere else? I guess you have to find another owner with money to burn and the willingness to let Simmons do his thing. I’m sure there are plenty of people willing to give ESPN the middle finger, but at what price?
