I find the fact that his name is Jay Dee but his nickname is B.J. for more offensive/questionable than the drunken brawling.

If the Chargers can’t put a decent football team around him, then damnit, Philip Rivers is gonna make one.
More of this, Deadspin. More of this.
Those fans booing gave Andrew the truth - that players like him are only meat sacks that throw footballs when they’re good and playing for your team, then they’re nobodies. If anything, they reinforced his decision. I’m happy for him.
“I wish I had met you sooner so I could have lived you longer.” I’m gonna tell this to my girl the very moment that I see her again.
Same. This is heartbreaking and I am so grateful to her for sharing her story because it's goddamn important.
God, that line at the end. Crying at my desk. Thank you for writing and publishing this.
If there was a young man in literally any other profession who made $100 million before he was 30 and decided to retire, he would be lauded. The Wall Street Journal would write thousands of words of wankery praising his acumen and smarts and god bless America.
I hope that NFL players take note of the lack of empathy people have shown Andrew Luck during this entire process. Don’t feel guilty about hold-outs for more money. Get as much money as you can and get the hell out before it becomes a detriment to your health.

Fun fact... wait for it... I used to be a hand model and that’s my hand in Zoolander
Whett Thudd is actually an undrafted linebacker out of Appalachian State who stands a good shot at making the Raiders’ 53-man roster.
Bubbles has one of my favorite arcs in all of television. God what an actor. When hes in the narcotics anon meeting and he finally opens up about Sherrod, and he finally sheds the moniker Bubbles. “My name is..... My name is Reginald. But ‘round the way they call me Bubbles.” really beautiful scene.
“Sheeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiittttttt."
Not to mention the joyful redemption of Bubbles, cheese-butt smugness of Tommy Carcetti, and desperation of the children. There were moments of that show, no matter how many times rewatched, that brought near visceral reactions from not only myself, but so many others. It was nearly perfect.
I’d never heard of Dundalk before 5 minutes ago, but I now hate it a lot.
Oh yeah, one of my favorite TV characters ever. Right up there with Al Swearengen, Tony Soprano, Saul Goodman, etc.
Omar was awesome, though.
“Baltimore has nothing to claim as its own”
And The Twelves still don’t know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
