Don't Peel Off Your Beer Labels

So this sounds like a more explicitly comedic "This is 40," but more like "This is 30."

This is annoying, but it's more a failure on the city's part. Tyler Cowen's headline of "markets in everything" is perfect. There is an undersupply and massive demand - pretty much guarantees this would happen (and I've seen this happen outside of an app, where someone is paid to sit in a spot and hold it).

The last one is one of the most unexpectedly horrible ends to a DHF ever

I get that - my point is they could have gotten the same number of additional days of NFL football, with a higher quality product, by putting it on Fridays or by being smarter about the bye week scheduling. Although someone pointed out that they are to some extent legally barred from a permanent Friday game because…

So it's primarily about high school football, then? I can't imagine college football gets a major boost from Friday night games v. Thursday night games, especially given that I can't remember ever getting excited for a Friday night college game. I guess the high school part makes sense though, especially after…

I like having late season Saturday NFL games back too. I also HATE the Thursday games because they are always so bad. Why hasn't the NFL and NCAA just swapped Thursday and Friday games? The NCAA plays on Saturday, so Thursday is more reasonable for them than the NFL, and NFL teams get one extra day to rest. It…

The most Browns move ever would be to pay for this study, reveal it's results, and then pass on Bridgewater for another QB.

Based on what has come out - the NBA clearly thinks they can force him to sell, and it looks like they might be right based on the language of the Constitution. However, if Sterling doesn't want to, he make it a giant pain in the ass with his money and legal experience. Which is why the most likely outcome is the…

That someone being you?

Just because it is called an NBA franchise doesn't mean it operates the way the common "franchise" system works. All the stories about the (confidential) NBA bylaws and constitution have been consistent in reporting that there is a mechanism to force the sale of a franchise, but it is narrowly defined to apply to…

That is absolutely, 100% not how it works. He owns the Los Angeles Clippers. He's not some guy with a Papa John's franchise.

How? There is no legal way for him to force Sterling to sell his property. They can fine him, they can ban him from NBA affiliated events, they can make it incredibly uncomfortable and miserable for him to remain an owner, but they can't make him sell.

"Things have been bad for the Pacers for two months." To months ago, this rumor popped up: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/02/report…

The move of Garnett to center was important in that it established the identity (and Blatche and Plumlee have both clearly benefited from playing with Garnett - you can see them grow as defenders). Garnett is the guy with the skill and know-how to run that defense. The advantage here is that all the veterans are…

0 Gerald Green dunks? List can't count.

Conservative Christians can be ignored if you try, and they can't actually hurt you unless they commit a crime (severe annoyance is their legal ceiling). Anti-vaxxers create the risk that we'll suddenly have to deal with a totally preventable epidemic that affects anyone who gets near their unvaccinated children.

The issue is that he was two years from FA, coming off back to back MVP seasons. Dave Cameron made a good point that players who don't get pre-FA extensions tend to move on, but the Tigers easily could have just told him that they would talk about an extension next season. If he wins a third MVP award, then maybe…

Again - there is a ton to criticize about the Mariners. I am just tired of people bitching about the wrong things.

Just to be clear, I take issue with people asserting that the Mariners won't spend because, in addition to it being empirically untrue, it suggests that the problem isn't primarily the people doing the spending. If we were constantly getting surplus value on our spend (whatever it was), I'd be more receptive to the…
