I wonder what type of deal he has with the foundation concerning what happens to the house if he leaves the team. I could see them agreeing to continue paying his property taxes for the rest of his life if he stays at Alabama for the rest of his career and then retires. But I doubt they would keep paying if he quits…

I know this is a joke, but I feel like I should point out that there is no way to test for CTE while the patient is still alive. You actually need to cut up their brain to test for it.

A lot of the comments are along the lines of "why do you need to tell us that you're gay?" Which to me seems a lot like "Don't ask, don't tell."

I agree that there's a bit of a double standard when it comes to Pettitte vs Rodriguez and Bonds, but I don't think race has anything to do with it. Clemens is white and he got the same treatment as Bonds and Rodriguez. Ortiz is Dominican and he got treated like Pettitte. I think there are a few factors that explain…

I have no idea whether they premeasured or not. A waiter brought it to our table. We had no idea it that cost more until we got the bill. (Fortunately, I was not the one who ordered it).

I went to a bar once that charged an extra dollar for whiskey served neat.

There are so many good reasons that FIFA could strip Qatar of the World Cup: massive human rights violations, bribery to get the World Cup, and allegations that Qatar is/was funding ISIS. All of those are legitimate reasons. Instead, FIFA is focusing on the heat, the one thing that they definitely knew about when they…

But why would he not have time? ESPN banned him from posting articles and tweeting and probably from entering the office. But it's not like they can ban him from writing from home and having an article ready to go the minute the suspension ends. Of course, it's possible that his attitude was "If I'm not getting paid…

How did she type the email on a cell phone? I thought she said that she doesn't have a phone.

Leave to an SEC fan to not realize that was a joke.

7 straight SEC championships? That's nothing. Let me know when a conference breaks the Ivy League's record of 31 straight championships.

Basically it's only for minor crimes and a way to save police resources. If the victim doesn't care, then the police don't want to wast their time on some guy who yelled a bit too much on a plane. If you call the cops and say "some guy shot me," they're not going to ask if you want to press charges; they would still…

Whatever. You can press charges if it happens to you. I would choose not to. As an added bonus, I would get to feel like the bigger person who shrugs off slights. Although I do notice that you didn't address any of my points before dismissing them.

Just because there is a John DeadGuy Smith in the family, I don't see why there can't be a DeadGuy Smith too. My mother has at least three cousins named Joe (as their first name) and as far as I can tell, no one cares.

I wouldn't have pressed charges either. If you press charges, then you need to give a formal statement to the police. Then there's the possibility that you need to go back to testify in court if the guy is enough of an idiot not to take a plea deal. That means another flight out to Grand Rapids and time off from…

I never said it was a good insult. Just that it makes even less sense in this context than usual. Poor phrasing on my part, I guess.

Although, I do remember hearing that they were looking for people to donate tickets. Not sure if they succeeded, but if they did, that kind of defeats the money argument.

It's never really a good insult. But it makes no sense whatsoever here for both reasons.

That was my thought too. Save that insult for people protesting on a weekday afternoon, not at a night football game.

Why do some cities not get an early game on Fox?
