Great article. The fact that football is such an American institution is yet another reason it will falter. The lack of international talent to tap into will make it harder to fill out rosters as more and more American kids decide the risk isn’t worth the reward. I played from 8th to 12th grade and loved it and I…

A couple of questions. Does this say anything about Luck’s availability? Also, even if he is given assurances he has a great chance to HC the Pat’s it’s not like he will get to do so with Brady still. Belichick and Brady probably will both leave around the same time. Maybe he gets him for a season but really what are…

I’m happy for the Eagles and their fans. Stuff like this is what makes sports fun. I’m no fan of the team but whatevs. One day the Bears will rise again but I’m old enough to remember their SB win in the 80's. Having at least one championship for your favorite team in your lifetime sure makes all the others seasons…

Happy dog. Resigned horse. Overjoyed owner who never needs to take dog out is not pictured.

This is why owners should be allowed to own two teams. Kind of like owning two used cars. One for parts and one you actually drive. I just feel like good teams are being hamstrung by this lack of flexibility and freedom. One team would act both as a developmental team and a place to dump contracts that in hindsight…

What’s the Super Bowl?

Wow! I am unsure how to even respond. I’m fine with collecting pretty much anything and art is a beautiful thing to collect so on many levels I understand but what I struggle with is the idea that some among us have so much extra money to be able to make purchases like this. Not so much a judgement on him as just a…

I understand what you are saying and I understand where it is coming from but please keep the door open that there really are male allies out there that are worthy of the title. I get it though. I’ve seen and known plenty of terrible people whether through ignorance or selfishness but I have met a few who are far from…

I’ve actually thought about asking my wife if we can watch an episode of the Real House Wives rather than that show. I then think better of it and just take my laptop and phone to another room or take the dog out for a long walk.

Coal is a job creator while that selfish Sun and those worthless giants who create the winds are job destroyers. The new infrastructure budget should have a giant umbrella that blocks out the sun and a plan to nuke those blowhard giants.

I can honestly say I’m shocked at how hard I laughed reading this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s funny, but not as funny as I took it. I think it’s a sure sign I’m a Dad.

As a Bear’s fan I am overjoyed to be entering an offseason where the only need at QB is as a backup. Also, though he’s limited in ability, I am actually a big fan of Josh McCown. I loved him as a Bear and every story I’ve ever read about him makes him seem like a great guy. I’m pulling for him to get a good…

Science!

Well that closes the last door in my dream of moving to Michigan and training to be a gymnast. The question now is what can a 41 year old begin training at where he can achieve multiple gold medals?

I’m just glad I’m a Badger’s fan. I’m confident nothing like this could possibly be happening in Madison. We do it the right way here in Wisconsin. Even better than in St. Louis. It’s a shame a fellow member of the Big Ten would act in such a manner. In the 3+ decades I’ve followed the conference I can’t think of a…

A buckeye can only grow with lots of tears. I’m not saying it’s easy to quantify pain and suffering but I think we can all agree the OSU suffered deeply and should be discussed now. These women have had plenty of time to talk. Lets move on to other victims. All I’m asking for is equality.

As a Badger’s fan I am not ignorant that it is probably happening in Madison as well. I truly pray that if it is that it will be exposed and that they will be forced to act upon it and change. I would rather have the Football and Basketball programs either reprimanded or ended than have the University that I love be…

I know there are ways to spin things to help people justify what happened but I truly wonder how some sleep at night. I’ve made my fair number of mistakes in life and I am sure I will continue too but when I put my worst mistakes that made me lose sleep up against any of these actions they all so greatly pale in…

I don’t understand how you can’t pick two humans with guns. Counting yourself that’s three humans. How can anyone dismiss human intelligence over other creatures? We dominate the planet not because we are some awesome physical creatures. Humans using their minds will win every time. I love animals and respect the hell…

As someone who’s played and watched football from a young age and has followed the sport for decades I’m kind of sad at how much my views on the sport has changed. The fantasy has been burst. It’s just hard to watch now and escape with it. I don’t know what will happen in the coming years but I find it hard to believe…
