Yeah...there are by definition very few players who are so great that a max contract is less than what they’re worth. There are a lot more players who range from hanging on to the bottom of a roster to being pretty decent. I see the amount of money that mediocre guys are making, and it doesn’t surprise me that the…

I will never understand why anyone would buy a house with an HOA.

Of course it changes the narrative. There is a difference between someone having a reaction to prescribed medication and intentionally driving drunk. Without knowing the details, I can’t say whether he should have known the effect the medications would have on him...I don’t know if he recently changed doses,…

I’m surprised he doesn’t have his own driver/security/assistant to cart him around when he’s been drinking.

I’m not going to be impressed about a team record for strikeouts in a 9-inning game unless it’s at least 24. The fact that the team record is the same as the individual record makes Wood’s accomplishment way, way, way more impressive. Especially in the era of relievers who can’t pitch more than an inning if that.

Yes, there is something decidedly weak about a boycott that you qualify with “whenever possible.”

I am torn between thinking that it is ridiculous to ask people to pay to “volunteer,” and thinking that this is a scenario where I am fine letting the market dictate what people are willing to do. If golf fans are happy with the arrangement, why should I care?

Where I find the disconnect is when people go on and on about how great and artistic their favorite prestige shows are, and then they brag about spending ten straight hours on the couch on a Saturday watching almost a whole season.

Jesus. I was also a distance runner and at my peak I don’t think I could have done those two things in 16:17 even if the running and the pizza were totally separate.

According to Spotrac it would only be $1.3M in dead money to cut him this year. It’s amazing how little money is guaranteed on rookie contracts even to a late 2nd rounder.

Climbing Mt. Everest as fast as possible, at night, seems to mitigate any reason to actually do it.

It’s both. Marshall is a colossal asshole but the Bears and the Jets weren’t exactly functional locker rooms without him.

Really not trying to start a basketball vs hockey debate, but the entire NBA regular season and playoffs were sure superfluous this year. The Finals might be really good, but what a suckfest to get there. You could not have had a more predictable matchup and neither the Cavs or the Warriors have even looked remotely…

The thing is, what motivation would the Cubs have for postponing the game unnecessarily? I agree that the weather wasn’t as bad as expected, but what did the Cubs get out of it? That’s what makes it such a dumb argument.

According to the NHL, “cocksucker” definitely isn’t as bad. When Andrew Shaw used “faggot” it got him a suspension in addition to the fine.

Maybe he can teach Jameis not to be a rapist?

Is postpartum anxiety/depression for men an actual medically-recognized thing like it is for women?

Cost of living and traffic should be better, at least.

Every Liberty Mutual commercial is worse than the one before it. “My insurance company raised my rates because I crashed my car like a dumbass.” “My insurance company only paid me the actual value of my car, not what it costs to buy a new one, because for some odd reason they don’t think depreciation is their…

It’d be impressive if idiots like you refuted what’s being said about Clarke rather than pointing out that multiple outlets agree that his record is extremely troubling.
