The economics of the NBA are totally different than the NFL. One or two players constitute the bulk of the assets of an NBA team, so those one or two players wield a lot of power. In the NFL, the vast majority of the players are highly replaceable and highly expendable. Consequently, the players have no power and no…

Very true. Plus, the game was in Denver, where field goals are unusually easy to make.

The success numbers I’ve seen for 4th and 1 are around 60%. Even if they get the first down, there’s no assurance they score a touchdown. If you go for it and don’t get the touchdown, your chances of winning are miniscule. In light of that, how could going for it possibly have a chance of winning of 59.8%? The…

Fun fact: the thumbs on the hands of trees are reversed from what we humans have on our hands.

Where does one go to vote in favor of having our country ruled by a queen?

NFL investigating the incident in February: “Will you give us the video? (Please say no, please say no).” “No? Well we’ve done everything we can on the investigation.”.

These apology tours that are transparently choreographed by public relations firms are getting tiresome. Every word was carefully rehearsed and tested with focus groups before the interview. He might as well hire an actor to do the interview for him

In a practical sense, it is nearly impossible to make substantive changes to the constitution. All you need is a handful of yahoos in places like Wyoming, South Dakota, and Idaho, and presto, you can block anything.

I don’t get what the big deal is. Since the success of the Astros in MLB, tanking has come out of the closet and become not only respectable, but generally acknowledged as a sound strategy. Maybe people don’t like that Gruden won’t use the word “tanking”, but that doesn’t make what he’s doing wrong.

I live in California, which means I never saw a single trump tv ad in 2016, and am oblivious to the tenor of those ads. If this is representative of what the rest of the country saw during the run up to the 2016 presidential election and is seeing this year...good god, we’re living in some kind of dystopian hell.

Nope, not toxic at all.

Maryland’s decision to fire DJ Durkin one day after reinstating him was largely the result of overwhelming negative reaction from players, students, fans, media & others, including governor Larry Hogan.

I can’t imagine the courage it would take for a college football player to stand up to a coach like that. The power imbalance in that relationship is enormous. My hat’s off to those players.

Uhhhh...Siragusa?

Here’s a tip for NBA players: when Curry is on a run like this, do not attempt a 3 at the other end of the court. You’ll just make yourself look foolish.
