Well that's just awful.

If you don't take Percy's cap off for him, he'll try to drink from the bottle regardless, get angry at it and accuse Geno Smith of not being black enough.

Lets not sleep on the Mike Smith coaching here though. Asked to milk the clock and run out the game with a series of run plays, he instead Mitt Romney'ed that South Carolina.

At the same time... Freshman kicker on the road in a night game. 47 yards is not a gimme. Yes, the decision seems awful in hindsight, because there is hindsight. But I can see why the coach would roll the dice - one throw, one time and he walks away with a win. Even if kicker makes it, he still has to fight in OT…

This. SI went "deep" ala yahoo sports and did all the "right" things that a standard investigation and expose into college football is supposed to have done, and it was a non-story. They checked all the checkboxes: SEX, DRUGS and MONEY! And no one cared, at all.

Man, China seems dead set on repeating all of USSR's mistakes, up to and including the horrible Soviet record regarding the environment. Since industrial production is a traditional measure of overall health of society's economy in Communist regimes, any legislation to put any sort of brakes on the industrial output…

Oh yes, we can easily agree on that, and I see your point.

I think the major takeaway is as Kevin suggested the number of agents feeling safe to take potshots at Kobe. They don't fear him any more. Also, whoever is trying to paint Shaq as the sympathetic one in the Kobe-Shaq breakup because mean Kobe had the media attack poor Shaq... um, no. A plague on both your houses is…

I don't think its authenticity as just a different era. Chicago media protected Jordan. In the 24/7 sports-media world now, they could not. Jordan's charisma is as forced as Kobe's. Watch those Gatorade commercials, and then see if you can find the out-takes. He's as awful as any athlete doing an ad. I think the…

Maybe, but lets put this into the context of a business world. Not the pirate ship world of indie game development where tempers flare and nerd-rage is expected, but any other business. If you had tweeted that at a fellow co-worker at freaking Burger King, your ass would get fired. If you were in banking/mortgage…

It is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than college football. With college football, if you try hard enough then you can at least pretend it does not happen. With FIFA... the corruption is so blatant that it would make a bagman in 'Bama blush and shake his head in sad despair.

FIFA is so gung-ho on playing in Qatar that they are entertaining every stupid idea possible except the most obvious one - get out of Qatar! The more you read about the proposals that allegedly sealed the deal for FIFA to bring football to the Middle East, the more insane the official version of events becomes: they…

Ah, name calling. Quite interesting. It is quite possible to find both ability and diversity. And it should be found. The woman in the story has both. She is fit to kick down a door and rescue as needed, and she qualified for the job. But your article also references 41 women and 10,000 men as a mark of shame on…

I said absolutely nothing about not wanting a woman to save anyone, least of all me. I merely asked on what you put the premium, and you answer demonstrates it clearly.

But if you had to choose?

Good for McCoy. Browns treated him horribly and used him as a tackling dummy. He bounced from team to team as the guy that holds the clipboard. Let him have a start, and let him try to do something with it. Let it be a positive story out of D.C. for once.

"It's certainly true that in a diverse city, having a major agency and community force like the fire department which is almost entirely male, cisgender, straight, and white often does not inspire confidence."

No way. I refuse to believe that one, because A) Brett Favre is old, and adopted the technology late in his life and B) no, seriously, he's an old man, no way is he the record holder of that in the NFL, or in any organized North American team sport with a net revenue greater than one million, much less billions.

Some out-the-door bashing sounds suspect and weird. But this... this I can believe. Wasn't the story making the rounds that the reason he checked out the game was not just the losing but because he felt he was not getting enough throws coming his way? Or is that a different piece of gossip?

By the way, I looked up the clip on sovsport.ru and since I actually understand Russian, and I can tell you it's as bad as it appears on paper.
