I wasn’t a big football fan in 1994 but I played a lot of Madden ‘94. My chief takeaway from that game, accurate or not, was that the Bucs were god-awful and it was a lot of fun to play as them while beating up on the computer, thus demonstrating my superior Madden skills.

A big part of that, I think, is that it feels “safer” to hit a guy than to wrap him up during a full-speed collision. As I was taught, to make a tackle you get to the spot, get low and “break down”, then get your head ahead of the man, “explode through” and wrap him up. In the process of that you’re doing a pair of…

Does it look to anyone else like Ezekiel Elliot was falling forward in that gif? Was he supposed to catch his balance and stand upright? I could be wrong; I have no idea what his intent was, or even what the play looked like in real time. But to use that as one of the definitive exhibits of what not to do seems bogus.

Ironically that corner with the self-portrait and two mannequins, is also a jerk-off station

Please use its proper name, a masterbatoreum.

The 8,000 square foot home has five bedrooms, seven-and-a-half baths and a four-car garage on a 3-acre lot.

What stuff are they wearing that doesn’t help with safety? Vests and fingerless gloves help with warmth, leather is good protection in a slide wherever it is, even if it isn’t armored to protect bones. Half-helmets still are protective.

I would say that survey is horseshit on its face. Do you know a single living American who would genuinely prefer a Chrysler over a Toyota, Honda or Subaru?

The NFLPA already provides financial advice and training to players. Clearly it didn’t take in this case but it is provided.

If anyone carries the obligation to further the financial education of athletes, it’s their agents, not ownership. And really, those are also the people to whom the players stand the greatest chance of listening, even if those chances are still relatively slim. The NFLPA would probably be next on the list for bearing…

You need to factor in, revenue generated form WHL and NLL ticket sales as well as concerts and conventions.

It was my understanding there would be no math.

Just did some back of the napkin Excel spreadsheet math on this one, and boy are there a lot of variables here to determine how bad of a deal this is, but no matter how you slice it, it’s a really bad deal.

“Build the wall! Build the wall!”

I am pretty sure that killing babies and allowing others to burn in the fiery pitt of hell is objectively wrong too.

Horton’s rivalry with Sun began at the 2016 Rio Olympics, when the Aussie accused Sun of splashing water on him during a training session.

But for that ending to work, you’d have to ignore all that Simpson DNA evidence. And that would be downright nutty.

We’re through the looking glass here.
