It still wouldn't explain how players could get away with partying until early morning on game day. One or two players getting high on game day would be one thing, but half the starting lineup, and totally on a whim? Probably not. I showed the story to a former student who's an athletic trainer at another SEC school…

I knew guys on my high school team that got high before games, so the possibility isn't too far-fetched, but it for a collegiate program it's pretty out there. There were rumors of Lloyd Carr losing control of his team in the latter years, and he did come from an earlier era where such monitoring of players wasn't…

I'm pretty skeptical that the UMich story is accurate. If true, what should be shocking about the Michigan players toking up is the utter failure in monitoring and control by the coaching staff, not the pot. For most high-profile programs, their football players are under pretty tight control around 48 hours before…

Only an incorrigible asshole like Dan Snyder could make one actually feel sorry for an annoying fanbase of a historically racist team.

No problem. Another thing to remember: if a professor offers an extension, use it wisely. An extension should only be used as a means to prepare more efficiently as the semester closes (eg, spacing out assignments and exams rather than having them fall on the same day) or when a life emergency happens, not as a…

No offense to fans of MLS and mid-season baseball, but this time of year is just brutal. It's only survivable by knowing that the fall is just a fucking cornucopia of TV and sports overload. Between football, World Series playoffs, NBA, and all of the new network shows that arrive, I'm amazed I get anything done at…

As a college instructor, my advice is to do everything the class asks of you in the beginning of the semester. Profs are way more likely to work with you at crunch-time near the end of the semester if you've been showing up, contributing to the discussion, and do the readings/assignments. Way too many students dig…

I actually find the "busy" part to be a good thing. Given how much content ESPN.com or Y! Sports throws at their viewers without any problems, I don't think TV viewers will have a hard time adjusting. Another benefit that the Lights has over Sportscenter is its conciseness: I've had lots of 9-5 friends singing its…

For the life of me, I will never understand why teams continue to hire OC's who didn't actually call plays as the head coach (which both Childress and Philbin were). "Your fucking boss can't trust you with play-calling on game day, one of your most integral duties? That's exactly the quality we're looking for!"

The last time LA was taken down a peg in earth-shattering fashion, Northridge was left in shambles.

Such medication is common in college football. For example, without those pills Nick Saban's true height would be that of a midget's.

"YOU BUNCH OF STUPID FUCKS ARE RUINING AMERICA."

Vikings fans really should be thankful that franchises like the Bills and Browns exist, as otherwise the Purple and Gold would rightfully be the laughingstock of the league. In the last 20 years, the best QB's the team has been able to draft and develop were Brad Johnson and Daunte Culpepper. Their best head coach in…

Packer fans never wanted Rodgers. They didn't like it when he was drafted. They wanted him to be traded instead of made the starter even though it was clear that Favre was past his prime. The Favretards wanted Thompson fired for running Brett out of town. Many still pine for the good ol' days with Favre even after…

NBC quickly blamed Mills Lane, who allowed the videotaping to proceed.

In my wildest dreams Dannell wakes up realizing he's been living a lie his entire life, listens to his heart's deepest desires, fesses up to his family and friends, and finally comes out as a proud guy who likes to take his own picture.

Seconded.

It's probably just a big misunderstanding. Your son has merely developed an early affection to South Carolina.
