Really? You're comparing cheating in a football game to a dangerous activity like speeding?? But since you went there, let's draw out that comparison a little more. If you're doing 0-10 or even 15 MPH over the speed limit, yes, you're not getting a ticket.* There's basically an unwritten understanding that such…

Everyone is doing it and the NFL has been turning a blind eye to it. Peyton and Brady pushed through the rule change that allowed this to happen. Brad Johnson admitted illegally scuffing balls before his Super Bowl victory. Aaron Rodgers openly admitted to attempting to over-inflate balls and no body batted an eye…

It didn't make a lick of difference. I hate the Patriots, I really do. I'm a Giants fan, so I don't have that deep-rooted Jets hatred, but we played them in 2 SBs and I'm a Yankees fan so I hate all things Boston/NE sports. They blew the fucking Colts out of the water. It's a non-issue.

I like how some people have been using the -ghazi suffix to replace -gate. Feels more current. However, I propose a simple rule. We reserve -gate for actual scandals, since Watergate was serious business, as well as an actual scandal and conspiracy. We reserve -ghazi for frivolous bullshit drummed up by people with an…

also, he didn't even appear to be in an offsides position at any point.

Of course, even if Driscoll is an assassin, it doesn't mean Kurt Busch didn't slam her head against the wall.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is about all the hops and bitterness I can handle. Give me a nice brown ale or a stout. Or Curieux. Curieux is just about the most delicious beer on the planet. My go to, widely-available, delicious craft beer is Smuttynose Old Brown Dog.

And those terms would only be enforceable if there was a contract. What you call a transaction is simply an acceptance of the offer. You still lack a meeting of the minds, and without that you have no contract and no enforceable terms.

If similar tickets in that section are going for $4000 apiece on average, the I'd say objectively a 10-food markdown is objective evidence of a lack of meeting of the minds. Also depends where and how the mis-pricing occurred, as that could provide objective evidence of intent.

If there was no meeting of the minds there can be no contract. No terms would have been agrees too. The AMEX thing is interesting but I'd be willing to bet there is contractual language in there stating that there are now intended their party beneficiaries. And even still, anything in the AMEX-StubHub agreement isn't…

If this doesn't make the DSHOF I'm going to Temecula to beat up every last staff member of Deadspin, and maybe Denton too (you guys are located in Temecula, right?).

Basic contract law would really allow them to back out of this scenario. But I'm getting tired of typing the same explanation, so look for one of my other posts. But you are right, they probably also have fine print protecting them.

Ehh. While they certainly should honor it, they're not obligated to. It's basic contract law. You need offer, acceptance and a "meeting of the minds" to have a contract. Meeting of the minds basically means a common intent or purpose in the formation of a contract. Here there was an offer (StubHub posting the ticket…

So wait, did this dude get a $1,600 credit to Stub Hub, and his purchase refunded? Or did they just give him a refund in the form of StubHub credit?

Can we also talk about how AFC Wimbledon has 2 players named Adebayo? Is that Nigerian for John?

My bad. Not sure why I thought it was in Phoenix.

Don't they roll grass into University of Phoenix stadium for big games? They did it for the Super Bowl.

Mark Sanchez and one of the best defenses of all time. The offense stunk. And how long do you let a guy hang his hat on two fucking seasons (the first of which was mediocre until the playoff run)? Since then he's gone 26-48!!!

I'm a fellow Giants fan. Have to say, I think you're way off. The Giants' results speak for themselves. 4 Super Bowls in 25 years. They've generally done things the right way. Loyalty is probably the most underrated quality in running an NFL franchise. Everyone wanted Coughlin's head before the 2011 season. The…

That GIF is the perfect summary of the Knicks season. Bargnani flailing his arms aimlessly no where's near the ball, about as useful as he ever is, and Melo desperately trying to not play defense while a good team thrashes their way to a 32-15 lead with a minute plus still to go in the 1st quarter.
