Shit, I make less than half of $175k and I am confident that I am far better off where I am than I’d be in NYC making $175k.

I don’t think there’s really any such thing as a balanced team in football. The quarterback is of hugely outsized importance. The Vikings’ problem isn’t financial - Bridgewater is still in his rookie contract so he’s not making all that much - but the scarcity of even decent quarterbacks. Some teams don’t even have a…

I can't decide if I'm happy that Baylor did something to punish him rather than brushing it off entirely, or angry that this piece of shit wasn't kicked off the team.

Dude, read the accounts of what Vick personally did to dozens of dogs. Not facilitated, not permitted on his property...what he physically did. Then tell me if you think his supposed penitence (which I would personally disagree that he has displayed) means anything.

I get the impulse to laugh and/or be horrified at this article, but the real takeaway should be that childhood obesity is such a big problem in this country that it has effects like this.

He's a marginal QB by skill level, and by speaking out he's made himself less attractive for the 49ers to keep him or for another team to sign him if he gets cut like some think he will. Don't see how he's benefitting here.

My dog literally just climbed up next to me on the couch, leaned in, and sighed happily when I put my arms around him. Some dogs are huggers.

The best part about that tweet is if you apply logic to it, he is either saying that the Bible is meaningless or that stats/advanced metrics are the word of God.

Came here to argue that you ranked Acadia too low, but after seeing the pictures and descriptions I'm just thinking...damn I need to go to all of these parks.

If the verdict that killed Gawker is any precedent, then ESPN should be forced to pay Pierre-Paul about a trillion dollars, right?

It goes both ways: if the offset language is such a moot point, then why can’t the Chargers just shrug and give in?

Barry, I wish you were right, but the reality is that most people will eventually fall in line with the new name. There are some people who still called it Sox Park or Comiskey, but in 2016 most people were already calling it US Cellular or the Cell.

The thing about these studies is that they claim to be measuring something that can’t really be measured. Saying that a company sees a 6x return on what they paid for naming rights is impressive, but nobody can really calculate how much extra money the company made as a direct result of buying naming rights. Like…

Seems to me like this is the least of what this thug deserves. The only thing Hope Solo is good for is proving that male athletes don’t in fact have a monopoly on being abusive assholes.

Really, the theory that Bosa just doesn’t want to play for San Diego at all is the only one that makes logical sense.

On one hand, I feel for him because he’s been put in an impossible position. Even if he makes 95% of his kicks in his career, Tampa was really really stupid for trading up to the second round to take a kicker. There is no such thing as a kicker who is worth that much.

I was never an elite runner by any means but I did compete in high school. Everyone knows what their personal best is so they have some idea of how fast is realistic for them; a woman with a previous best of 32:00 would know she had no business sticking with the pacemakers in this race.

If you have the option to not know a family member or acquaintance’s political opinions, for god’s sake why would you want to lose that?

If it’s so reasonable for something like this to happen, then how come it doesn’t happen more? You’re arguing that it’s the zoo’s fault and ignoring the fact that somehow, despite their supposedly inadequate security, this never happened before.

We can debate what level of enclosure is needed, sure. But to make it literally impossible for a child to enter the exhibit would require additional fences, etc, that would radically limit the opportunity to view the animals. I don’t know if the Cincinnati Zoo’s gorilla exhibit could reasonably have better protections…
