I can’t get over the organization being named “Authentic Brand Groups.” It’s like they intentionally chose the most Orwellian-sounding bullshit possible. 

Rick Reilly must be turning over in his grave. 

I don’t care how talented he is, this guy is unbearable to watch. If it’s not the (as described here on Deadspin) 18 second iso’s then 3-point attempt, it’s this cockamamie nonsense. Ugh, the worst.

I’m really hoping that it’s Michael Bradley, only because he’s described here as a former USMNT player.

Actually Ramsey didn’t. The Lyin’ media would have you think he did, but actually he did not! In fact, lots of people, and I know smart people. Tough people too. Some of the tou-some of the smartest people I know. Smart people, tough as nails. You don’t jus-You don’t just want a tough guy you know? They gotta be smart…

like a helicopter.

Someone had to apparently go back 8 years to find an instance (actually 2 instances) of this particular dude being racist, so it sounds like he already did stop being a racist shithead...about 7-8 years ago.

ever been around teenagers? they are little shits who do wildly stupid things and fuck up all the time. i know i am personally lucky to not have grown up with social media.

Most kids are monsters, that's why we don't let them vote or drive or own flamethrowers. Developing a sense of empathy is part of the process of growing up.

the theory’s basic premise is that human beings generally operate under the assumption that the people we are interacting with are being honest.

And beyond your joke, it’s also probable that the campus would seem deserted if people were inside those arenas and not walking around when McQueary stepped outside.

I grew up in State College, I went to school with Sandusky’s kid, the one in prison for soliciting minors. I’ve been in Sandusky’s basement. I play tackle football in Sunset Park near Joepa’s place, pretending to be Shane Conlan or DJ Dozier. I know what that town is like, and how it venerated the football program.

There’s a very simple reason why McQueary didn’t go to the cops right away: sometimes when we see things that go against our pre-existing beliefs, our brains work their asses off to come up with reasoning. McQueary respected Sandusky as a football coach and seeing him rape a child was outside of what he expected. So…

[extremely Arlo White voice] a cheeky finish

“You can just throw them out of windows??”

It’s funny how 20+ years ago, when I was playing high school football, the exact symptoms were referred to as “Getting your bell rung” and treated with smelling salts, walking it off, and getting my ass back into the game.

“Yes, I misused the term ‘concussion’ in my earlier statement. That’s to be expected, though.  Lots of people mix up words and misuse them after suffering a concussion.”

My favorite Elwayism in this article:

Most likely in the video he’s using carbon steel that has a non-stick seasoning on it, similar to a well cared for cast iron pan, so no harm to the pan. Though I use a silicone fork for whisking my eggs, so it doesn’t scratch my non-stick pans.
