it worked

But is it really just a “few” if it happens year after year after year?

A lot of people don’t understand that Glennon’s contract is actually a reasonable 1-year contract. This year, he’ll have the 20th highest cap hit of any QB, and most of the guys below him are still on their rookie deals. He has one of the lowest cap hits of any non-rookie contract QB (I think only Tyrod Taylor is…

they swapped picks with the Bears for a random, and still took the player they didn’t dare hope they’d get.

Interesting stance. I’m not sure how these two examples are different, though. They’re both violent assaults. If they lumped together guy who got busted for smoking weed with guy who beat his girlfriend, I’d agree with you, probably.

Never heard of this guy, but his twitter feed is entertaining as hell! Surprised he deleted that tweet, given his history.

racist AND sexist!

You’re from Wisconsin, so you’re white, and you called basketball, a largely African-American sport, “a fun little game for children, i suppose”. Racism isn’t a huge leap here...

She has the most titles in the Open Era. Who’s better than Serena?

Is there any truth at all to his claim that ESPN led a “witch hunt” for Tom Brady? Wasn’t that all Goddell? It sounds like the type of “fake news” stuff that people spout now to rail against the “media”. Person does not like entity (ESPN) so he blames entity for a bad thing (deflategate) that his community (Boston)…

Can you elaborate on the “evolution” of the “sports/money interaction”?

Rookies in professional sports don’t decide where they get to play

I think your underestimate how much money he can make with the Thunder, and how much people love money.

Five years is too long! He’ll be an MVP before then. He’s got the body and the athleticism, yes, but he also works so damn hard, as evidenced by his meteoric rise - he’s only 22!

The argument for Russ is always: “HE’S AVERAGING A TRIPLE DOUBLE HOW CAN YOU GIVE IT TO ANYONE ELSE??”

This is the shit ESPN does when there’s nothing else to talk about... Random guy says thing, it becomes news story, people comment on thing, that becomes news story, Around The Horn has 5 more minutes of content.

It is annoying, but I doubt it’s the NHL, as it’s not their video. It’s probably SportsNet.

I enjoyed him on Simmons’ podcast (is it old already?), once I got over him answering every question with: “Alright, look” before proceeding to ignore the question and talk about whatever he wanted.

Or the owners could just let them smoke weed as the players do permanent damage to their bodies for our entertainment...

Who better to skate to music from a movie that centers on a precocious, talented Safran Foer protagonist than a precocious, talented figure skater?
