RIP Teddy Bridgewater

Yeah. Thankfully this saga is over. For the record, I don’t dispute that the team acted bizarrely dickishly in their treatment of an elite draft pick. I just find Bosa’s disposition troubling too and can’t understand the logic in threatening not to sign what is ostensibly an okay deal so that you can re-enter the…

I can also see these issues as touchy, think police murder is bad and in some ways, an epidemic in the US while simultaneously holding the view that two men who allegedly shot and killed a young mother going for a walk with her infant is abhorrent.

The kid is awesome but I appreciate the umpire’s “I’m not gonna take this shit!..... but I won’t embarrass him either..... uhhh... let me brush this.... DONT FUCKING DO THAT AGAIN... okay Play Ball!”

A legitimate argument could be made that names and pictures of the accused should not be public record (or at least not easily broadcast and wallpapered like this). But how did you get from that to “showing their pictures is racist” to “fuck it they’re presumed guilty then!” That’s weird, LDC.

This is a rare one but with comments like this I can understand how the loony-right is able to bend the definition of racist to fit liberals who see race when others don’t. It confirms stereotypes that two black men were arrested for a murder, so their picture shouldn’t be shown? What the hell is wrong with you?

Counterpoint: When the glitches are fixed, it can be fun to play!

When Clinton wins, I think it would be wholly appropriate to cease fundraising activities for the duration of her time as President or to turn the foundation over to some sort of external receiver. Obviously when she’s done in four or eight years, she and the family will want to return to doing the foundation work,…

While Linda McMahon was unsuccessful in her attempt to win political office in nearby Connecticut, her husband Vince ran successfully to hold the office of governor under the pseudonym “Paul Richard LePage” in Maine.

Came here to say something similar. The amateur CTE diagnosis fits a narrative and aligns the family with a growing movement that might end up taking care of them, but it seems more likely this is something else. At the very least, it’s impossible to be so sure it’s CTE considering we haven’t seen that manifest itself…

All the comments on my comment are why I love this site. Don’t mess with any more billionaires, okay? Just keep it light.

“ironic” definition truthers in 3..2..1...

The suspension is quite obviously heavy-handed as a result of the USWNT and Solo, specifically, being so outspoken about fair pay.

Great post. Thank you

In the Chargers’ release, they claim that Bosa was offered the largest initial signing bonus payment of any player in the last two drafts, more money in this calendar year than any other rookie except Wentz, and the largest payment and highest percentage of signing bonus received in the first calendar year.

His dad also played 30 years ago in a totally different era and a completely different CBA situation. Knowing how tenuous the game is, it wouldn’t shock me if he was telling his son to take the $20+ million in guaranteed money.

I think that’s valid and understand why he would be hesitant to take such an offer. I don’t know what the precedent is. Do other teams give their rookies this offset language? Regardless, I find it hard to believe that the hit he’s going to take in the draft for failed negotiations and being out of football for a year…

I know a little bit about the corporate retail world and I can say that most of these major brands he’s shaking his Twitter fist at have a record of all of the times he has contacted them and what they’ve done to remedy the situation each time. He’s most likely considered a frequent flyer — someone who complains so…

The team seems to be horribly mismanaging this but it ultimately has to be that Bosa doesn’t want to play for them, right? Maybe he didn’t feel that way when he was drafted but has settled on that during these negotiations.
