GarPax deserves their own wing in the “sports mismanagement hall of fame”.

I don’t care for basketball, but I do love reading about inept sports management, and this did not let me down one bit.

Maybe because the two things are not related?

Put Mayweather in the ring, and you have one of the best boxers to ever live.

Outside the ring, he tends to be a terrible person.

His outside persona can make one not be a fan of him in the ring, but if you let that cloud the judgment of his in-ring ability you’re incredibly…

Well, the intersection of Great Human Being and Pro Athlete is not the busiest one. And Deadspin did publish a few articles warning people away from this charade, and the moral repugnance woven in.

This fight was entertaining to watch, but it still baffles me how people pay so much just to see these events. $100 if you buy it on Showtime, and the Buffalo Wild Wings near me was charging $25 just to get into the restaurant to watch it and spend your money there. I understand the motives, but I just don’t see how…

As a non-boxing fan, I’m confused by Mayweather’s ability to make so much money, given all of the experts’ proclamations about boxing’s death. He’s obviously a very good, possibly great, fighter, but his fights are always considered boring and he doesn’t seem to be a particularly good heel. What is his appeal to the…

So, seeing as the start of Edelman’s career was defined by injuries, and Gronkowski’s spine is made of a glass boot, and Tom Brady didn’t play for a quarter of a season and was fine... why in the world would you play a single goddamn starter over 30 for even one series during the preseason? Every year this happens to…

We had a work happy hour Wednesday and the fight came up.

I think the point of the article was don’t watch the fight at all. Don’t go to a bar and pay $25 a head plus drinks. Don’t order the fight on PPV. Don’t watch the fight, period.

Counterpoint: signing somebody like Andrew Wiggins and his super-replaceable 23 points a game and horrible defense to a max contract and getting nothing more than what he’s been giving so far is exactly how a team ends up saddled into mediocrity. So yeah, the Timberwolves would want him to get better. I say that as a…

I strongly endorse that women be able to make decisions about their own bodies, but just as strongly that this guy’s power to do so be taken away.

I watched that movie a few weeks ago after not having seen it since I was maybe 10. I was appalled by that shower scene despite thinking it was hilarious when I was 10.

“No one that matters listens to you, Don Vito. The only thing you should write about is a ‘quick slant’ to the buffet.”

I agree that, almost always, the QB “wins and losses” stat is dumb - football is a team game. Howeva...

As I was reading this, I thought “Jim Bob Cooter” was a derisive nickname for whoever is the Lions’ hayseed OC. Imagine my surprise...

The really amazing thing about 0-16.
Last years Browns were a straight up Hinkie Wet Dream of trust the process to lose as many games as possible by trading any vet worth a damn.
The 08 Lions were a veteran-laden team coming off a 7-9 record in 07, in which they started out 6-2. They even raised ticket prices that…

Forgive me if I’m mistaken but I always thought that was two men in the picture.

Video is inconclusive so we have to go with the call on the field, unfortunately. Sorry, dems da rules.

If they are that bad, do you think Trubisky will gain valuable experience playing or will he just get his ass handed to him constantly? The answer could also be both, there’s just a long line of failed top picks who sucked after getting thrown into the fire and I wonder how much of that is because their team sucked…

I am surprised by Cian Fahey’s comment about Trubisky. Yes he’s barely played the last 4 years, but unless he shows a grasp on NFL concepts and can handle the speed of the game, it seems like a bad idea to me. He’s looked pretty good in the first two preseason games (which I would guess had been played long after the…
