My preroll ad was for some collaboration between The Takeout and The Federalist. So there’s that.

Freshman year football tryouts, I was 5-3, 195 pounds, so built like a bowling ball. But I’d played a bunch of soccer and baseball and thought I had some physical ability. At my high school, very few dudes had played organized football before, so we figured the coaches were figuring out roles on the fly. A few minutes…

The very best people cheer this.

Do the Tigers claim him?

Whoever came up with the Dallas Knights branding in Any Given Sunday deserves recognition.

Jim Smith? Colorado State connection? (Where Alvis Whitted was coaching) https://publicrelations.colostate.edu/2005/04/19/ceo-of-smith-investments-and-lifelong-supporter-of-colorado-state-university-honored-with-henry-award/

100% this. San Francisco has some established nudist subcultures, so there are dudes (usually dudes) who make it part of their routine.

If he does that, it would make it easier for the Lakers to trade HIM at some point, which he probably doesn’t want.

I have not yet listened, but in the Billy Bob Thornton version of Bad News Bears, the band Phantom Planet (The OC theme song) was cast as a fictional band called... the Blood Farts.

My favorite theory I’ve seen bouncing around is that we’re watching a not-so-silent knife fight over the Lakers’ future ownership between LeBron, Magic, and Kobe (with Pelinka as a well-placed surrogate). Nobody is saying it out loud, but that’s what they’re angling for. And all of it could be for naught because AEG…

I’ll add a couple twists here. Wiki says he, his wife, and young children reside in Brighton, Michigan, outside Detroit, during the off-season. I don’t know anything about the area other than the basic demographic numbers I can find, but given that there are no built homes on Trulia listed for more than $2M in…

And if you want to “win in New York” for whatever that’s worth, go play for Brooklyn! Make them the premiere team in the country’s biggest city!

You’re allowed one.

The bigger question is whether the dog is committing handball every time he receives a pass.

Also, I see we’re going to pretend that Very Young Stephen Jackson wasn’t neck and neck with Very Young Tony Parker as second-best player on the ‘03 Spurs. Even though (YES, WE ALL KNOW) Robinson was still a fine player and Manu and Parker were destined for greatness, there was no “second star” on that team.

Once you see it....

I imagine Burneko is driving to Drew’s house right now to leave a printout of this post on his doorstep.
