Not if I can't see the video, Clarence Darrow. In the absence of watching the video, the thing — knocking her unconscious — speaks for itself.

So would Ben Roethlisberger have received a milder suspension if there was a video from the bar that night proving that you know, dude, she was totally asking for it in that skirt.

Tom, you left out the best part of the ad:

In a follow-up interview, Paspatis also noted his skepticism that elephants can fly and hinted that the real Cinderalla was kind of a bitch.

Vodka Samm is growing up so fast.

I think some folks might comment that this essay gives short shrift to the possibility that Janay Rice actually meant and believed every word that she said, that this was an isolated incident, and that she genuinely and without fear of reprisal has chosen to support her husband. But that's besides the point: it's…

Just listen to WFAN on Monday morning. If Waldman says that Jeter fisted someone, Boomer and Carton will find it. It's what they do.

WHY DID SHE HAVE TO PROVOKE HIM LIKE THAT?!?!?!

Shrimp tacos are better than ground beef tacos? Listen, I don't care how talented Burneko is as a chef and a writer, and I am not saying he doesn't deserve a chance, but I wouldn't let him in my kitchen. Too much of a distraction.

Bryant Gumbel and Keith Olberman getting an unprecedented amount of love on Deadspin today. These things always come in threes . . . 5,000 words from Drew on how Bill Simmons really isn't that bad in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

Meh. See my reply to the other guy below.

It's not so much that I agree with what he said (of course I do, like a lot of other people, I think), but that, in listening to him make the point I…

The punishment doled out to Ray Rice is only slightly more outrageous than the fact that the god-damned NFL has me agreeing with Keith Olberman. Keith. Olberman. Agreeing. Me. Keith. NFL. Damnit. God. Damnit.

Wow. Kids in college these days can be so sophomoric.

In King's defense, I am pretty sure this was just one of the Peter King talking points of the week.

Dungy's Law:

mission accomplished!

You know, these things are always great. And it's obviously nice to see someone who has wanted to play for a professional sports team all his life get that chance. But think of all the other people in the exact same spot who don't get this opportunity. What about those guys? Kids who grow up with a dream of…

Here's a cold hard fact: that made me fucking cry. Perfect speech from an imperfect guy. Getting old and getting sick blows; having support while you battle through it is a lifeline.

No surprise here. Schweinsteiger spent the entire match going down.
