There's certainly a difference between a real power dunk and a fake, throwing-the-ball-in-the-hoop-and-simultaneously-grabbing-the-rim (I know because I ride this line). And agreed, most athletes generally can do the latter. (which is what Brees does in the video)

Goodell will just filibuster this letter because he knows they can't get 60 signatures for the cloture letter.

it's the "open" part that's horseshit, not the "marriage" part. Why get married? Tax breaks?

I don't think it should be faceless. It should come from a huge, disembodied head, projected onto the roof of the arena, that finishes every call by booming "The league hath spoken!"

I lived in Santa Monica for a summer and would totally move back, assuming I didn't have to return to my shitty Santa Monica internship.

I would move out. I'm pretty nomadic, and I need the...security, I guess? of going into an office after freelancing for over a year. The horror stories I could tell you, man.

So, this is the guy that is responsible for every 140 pound 5'8" runner coming up and telling me that I should really try these lightweight shoes with no support, or in many cases Vibrams or whatever they are called? Thanks man. You are the reason why I have had to explain to some guy who doesn't have a single fast…

"I'm really not saying, 'Go barefoot.' What I'm saying is, what is the evidence to back up this scientific claim that you need special shoes in order to do something that your species has been superb at for two million years?"

To me,. the bigger issue is this trend of junk anthropology, where people claim that we "didn't evolve to do X," which demonstrates a lack of understanding of evolution. You see this all the time with diet fads: we didn't evolve to eat grains, we didn't evolve to drink cow milk, we didn't evolve to eat meat, we didn't…

"...I'm sure you guys will vilify factually characterize him as a sexist and racist..."

As a human being, let me say: This is not to be taken seriously and anyone who fights at a hockey game is barbaric.

I'm sure shirtless dudes get asked to leave and cover up at planet fitness too so I don't really understand why Jezebel has such hate-on for planet fitness or why they feel this is in any way a feminist issue? Sure, they sound awful but they're also ten bucks a month and they clearly state they have a dress code so if…

A friend of mine was born without his right hand. He has a small "nub" instead. When he was young, he used a prosthetic hand that he didn't like very much. We were on a soccer team for 6 and 7 year olds, and during one game he was using his prosthetic hand (and had had it on all day) when it became uncomfortable. So…

Yuck. They went out and found the douchiest and most stereotype-confirming people to talk to and decided they describe soccer fandom in America. What they did was find a particular subculture of soccer fans, which predictably they would find in Williamsburg - the fans who think they're too "good" and cultured to be…

Cardinals fans are going to furious at this article.

Tales of Gym Class Glory (or Shame) should be a reoccurring article.

I regret taking time out of day to both watch and comment on this video. Thanks.

Blackstock, drafted in the third round, didn't do much in the course of five NFL seasons with Arizona, Cincinnati, and Oakland.

Aaron's OPS+ is 155. Bonds' is 182.
