Playing college football is a privilege, not a right. If you can’t have the integrity to avoid illegally purchasing pencils for school, then you can’t be trusted to risk your long term health for the profit of your institution.

First of all, I’m an atheist that was raised in a Mormon household. With that out of the way: If a team wants to have a team prayer (just like my family does), go right ahead. A prayer in and of itself should not be a problem. If a player doesn’t want to participate, do what I do: sit there and wait a while. A prayer…

The Bucs have a SB ring and the Falcons play in one of the biggest cities in the US. These two are just anti-Southern bias. Clearly Atlanta deserves a team more than Minnesota or Oakland(LV) and unlike the Lions and Browns, the Bucs and Faclons have had success in the last 15 years. You and Drew both eliminated all…

First off, all teams who have won a Super Bowl are off limits: Packers, Jets, Chiefs, Colts, Cowboys, Dolphins, Steelers, Raiders, 49ers, Redskins, Bears, Giants, Broncos, Rams, Ravens, Patriots, Buccaneers, Saints, Seahawks. That’s 19 teams already.

Charmin Ultra Strong. It holds up really well, doesn’t pill, and the roll lasts a long time since you don’t use as much.

This doesn’t sound like CTE symptoms. More like early adult onset schizophrenia.

Stopped reading at ‘Unfrosted’.

All of it. All of it was him. He was better than anyone else. He rode better. He trained better. He performed better. He doped better. All of it.

Lance exemplifies the cognitive dissonance involved in evaluating individuals who do praiseworthy and morally objectionable things. And by praiseworthy, I’m not even talking about his tour victories — although I, like the author, still find those incredible regardless of the doping. Both of my parents had cancer; one…

Aren’t all of the best athlete’s huge assholes though? You have to be a certain level of arrogant and be a prick to wake up every day and push yourself to a level to be better than anyone else and say “I’m the best in the world in my field”. Think of anyone else in any sport that was considered the best. MJ, Bonds,…

Thank you for this. I’ve always been a fan of Lance. Read It’s Not About the Bike for the second time while going through chemo for testicular cancer. He was and always will be a hero to me, no matter how big of piece of shit he turned out to be in hindsight.

Yes, Lance was great. The problem with being both great and a cheater is that it leaves open the eternal, unanswerable question of how much of what he accomplished did he do on his own, and how much was attributable to the cheats. The drugs, the blood doping, the rest. How much was him?

I am a white woman. I have no stake in this. But, as a swimmer, I am crying. Do you know the odds she had to win this? SLIM TO NONE. She got 2nd at trials! She didn’t even win US trials! She beat the world record holder and her 2015 world champion in the event sister! She is an amazing woman and we are lucky to be…

“The single worst thing that has ever happened to an Armenian”

I have never tried this hard at anything in my life.

Yeah, but “borderline illegal shit” is also known as “legal shit”.

I never understood why the call it “Clean & Jerk” instead of “Jerk & Clean”. I mean, I always jerk first, then clean afterwards.

Listen: gymnastics is magnificent. It’s a study in strength, power, agility, and grace. Even with the subjectivity of scoring, the drama of the pursuit of perfection is philosophically entertaining.

“We are family here at Alabama. I’m the father, you see, overseeing all my boys out there toiling in the football fields, picking footballs off the ground and out of the air. You gotta teach them tough love, and know when to whip them into shape. Now, Maurice Smith...**chuckles** we gave him the nickname Toby...but he…
