I am by no means a Vikings fan. Patterson is a mess and seems unlikely to ever reach his ceiling, and I have no idea what’s going on with Treadwell. But I suspect it’s probably an issue similar to the one Diggs is having - namely, it’s really fuckin hard to put up good numbers when your QB is Sam Bradford and he’s…

Uhh, Stefon Diggs was a 6th round pick.

Desperately making jokes for no compensation other than a brief ego boost, hmm, I don’t know if the Deadspin commentariat is going to relate.

The Pats beat guys turned on Collins in about an hour. Where were all these stories last week or this morning? None of them had the balls to stand up and say it because I’m sure none of them actually believed it or thought this stuff till he got shipped out of town. I’d imagine there would have to be some other…

Its an engineering necessity of having rigid, 12.5 meter cars and a station with a tight track radius. Whereas the centre of the car has a 13" clearance, the ends are within an inch or two of touching. This is not in itself negligent.

The subway opened in the 1900s with platforms designed for train cars that had a door at either end of the car. Since that time, platforms have been extended and trains now have three and four doors on each car, but there are two stations in the system (of 468) that are on a curve that leaves a gap between the middle…

Whatever. Chris Berman once beat Andy Reid in a farting contest. Mostly because Andy mismanaged the clock but still. Win’s a win.

I imagine it is like all other sports: if you have two individuals of equal technical ability but differing physical talent, the physical traits will win. Since women have inherent disadvantages in terms of physicality, the ceiling for them is lower.

You realize, I assume, that when you use “son” people automatically want to punch you, right?

“Wow....you really got some cauliflower ear...”
