I meant to say Western Virginia and I have ZERO idea why I said Michigan and had to reread my own post.

I’ve reread this three times trying to figure out if you think Geno Smith went to Western Michigan. You don’t say it, but then what is the relevance of Western Michigan to your buddy’s opinion otherwise? Why not say “My good friend has great dental hygiene and has been saying FOR YEARS...”? Baffling.

Their athletics teams are named after a euphemism for a wild hog.

“I was informed coming off the field that I am no longer to coach of Arkansas. Never had this happen to me in my life so this is new for me.”

You forgot to mention that, along with playing for the love of the game, they are playing for “the fans”, because they pay their salaries.

First thing that came to mind...

Alternately, they could leave “personal conduct issues” to the criminal justice system unless they directly affect on-field competition, such as alleged deflation or Spygate.

The thing is, if he’d gotten the Ray Rice spousal assault case right, if he hadn’t tried to do his buddy Steve Bisciotti a favour by soft-pedaling the suspension to one game, by conducting a kabuki of an investigation (“I’m not a lawyer...”), he wouldn’t have had to play catch-up since then.

People smashing their Keurigs to defend the name of a pedophile, pizza chain demanding nazi’s stop making them their official pizza, white supremacists freaking out because a man who named himself Baked Alaska is banned from Twitter, another terrible DC Movie drops in theaters, US Attorney General simply refuses to…

I call BS. No one was working overtime selling Coyotes tickets. I’ve seen the crowds.

I do not believe that actions and words are mutually exclusive.

That’s a bit like people who think an apology is a ritual to force the other person to let you get away with wronging them. There are people who treat apologies that way, but we recognize their insincerity (or at least, if we DO spot the insincerity, we call them on it). But sincere apologies exist too, as an attempt…

I don’t see that.

Acknowledgment of complicity / guilt can be a dodge in place of meaningful action, or it can be a first step followed by meaningful action. It’s the meaningful action that tells you something about the sincerity and intentions.

John Fox has been a head coach for twenty years yet every week the Bears look like 53 guys who just met in the parking lot a half hour before the game.

Go to better restaurants.

They don’t want the “distraction” that comes with Kap. You gotta be focused when losing games.

It’s more than just the flags though. It’s the overlegislation of EVERYTHING in the game that’s happening right now. It’s having to decide what a catch is depending on the position of the player relative to the endzone and the sideline as well as whatever their body is doing. It’s the targeting penalties (which, yes,…

For what it’s worth I think MLB would be better off with a 100 game schedule, and the NBA with a 60 game schedule. They would lose too much money, so it’ll never happen, but it gives more of a breather for the fans and every game is much more important. With a 100 game baseball schedule, every loss hurts. Badly. Every…

I WOULD have watched it if they hadn’t opted to move certain Thursday night games to only NFL Network. I have watched the ones on CBS and NBC.
