He’ll likely have multiple offers and get to pick where he signs. But the NFL rules set a maximum salary and signing bonus for undrafted free agents, so he doesn’t have much leverage. All the offers he gets will likely be identical. The 1 year contract thing might work though. I’m not sure what the rules are for that.

I did not know that. That makes sense.

The national media would do that anyway. As long as the date of the press conference is announced in advance, reporters will be there. I don’t think there are any editors thinking “Well, I’m only sending a reporter if Curry wins, but not if Harden wins.”

I’ve seen that. It’s crazy.

It could also just be some sort of psychopath who took pleasure in this.

It looks pretty bad with the black pants and gold helmet. But I don’t think that’s the point. They’re only going to wear it once or twice a season for like 4 years. A black jersey will probably look decent on a fan who is wearing normal pants and no helmet. The point is that they’ll sell well compared to other…

Bradford, Sam (feelings). Out 6-8 weeks.

So either it’s a spam bot and the Browns messed up by picking it as a winner, or he’s a real person and the Browns messed up by deleting the tweet that announced that he’s a winner? Typical Browns.

THE 16TH AMENDMENT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

That wasn’t an option. That’s why it’s probably illegal.

I know someone who used to work in the FTC. He told me that when Disney negotiates with the cable companies they offer them a choice (he forgot the exact numbers and I can’t find them online, so I’m just going to make some up, these might be completely off base): pay $800 million for ESPN or pay like $805 million for…

Verizon might have a decent case. They’re probably going to argue that the contract with ESPN violates the Sherman Antitrust Act. Disney won’t let cable companies carry just ESPN. They also have to carry ESPN 2 and a bunch of other channels. Of course, Verizon is doing the same thing to consumers. The whole industry…

But then you have to file a Freedom Of Information Act request to get the recording back and that could take weeks. It’s a real pain. Easier to just use the app to record the phone call yourself.

There’s obviously nothing Bettman can do about it, short of forcing a team to play in front of an empty arena like occasionally happens in European soccer, which seems too extreme a solution for this kind of thing. However, he could have very easily said something about wanting to welcome all fans and being…

I know that Bearnaise sauce is just Hollandaise sauce that also has white wine and some spices. Do I just mix in the wine and spice at the same time as the lemon juice and then do the same thing I would for Hollandaise sauce, or is it more complicated than that?

By my count, Vegas and the statheads predicted the same number of wins for 14 teams (it's a bit tough to tell for sure whether the prediction is the same or there's a difference of one game). For the other 16 teams, the statheads were closer 12 times (the 4 where Vegas was closer are the Magic, Timberwolves, Pelicans,…

Well, in that case, you should probably go to a baseball game and show us how it’s done. Make sure someone is filming.

I can’t figure out why the kicked the woman out too.

Are they seriously trying to claim that using “LA” instead of “Los Angeles” makes them unique among sports teams? The Dodgers have had “LA” on their hats since they moved to California in 1958 and the Kings logo has also said “LA” since 2008.

That's why he needs an internet job.
