Tavon Wilson wasn’t as good as Harmon is but free agency came and went last year and he disappeared to the Lions where he would start. I had assumed the same would happen to Harmon. Most teams don’t have two starting-caliber safeties nevermind three or four.

Same can be said for Duron Harmon on a 5m/year deal.

Seems like MLB teams’ policy on this was/is “We are offering you a contract to play baseball for us. How you get here to honor that contract is your problem.”

Came here just for this.

Love that the Vikings stooge is mad they won and thus gave up a higher pick for Sam Bradford.

me: (looking around nervously, leaning in, whispering, then slinking back to safety) who cares?

RIP David Wright

Tricky issue. Can’t blow up pensions that were promised to labor but can’t afford them either, especially with people living 20+ years longer than anticipated and woeful underperformance by the managers. It’s okay though. Climate change will sink us first.

If she has applied to 100 jobs that are within her qualification level, she has almost certainly been offered work. She’s obviously a bit of a weirdo and her infamy doesn’t help her employability, but if she had the skillset to lead a NAACP branch and teach at a university, that seems applicable to similar work. My…

Legit baffled that the Bears would think for a second that another team would be interested in trading anything for Jay Cutler.

“Her nephew, Chad Pace, said he approached Schaffer, which caused him to stand up and expose himself.”

Doc Rivers is one of the best coaches in the NBA. It would be beneficial for him to not be his own GM. That said — who the fuck is Glen Davis to say anything about Doc Rivers? Doc Rivers gave him a roster spot when arguably no other team would have on at least three occasions. He owes nearly every dime he’s made to…

It’s okay to like Tom Brady. He’s successful, seemingly as a result of a positive attitude and strong work ethic. Other athletes that don’t embrace these traits are typically criticized. If one does not like Tom Brady, what athletes do they like?

Fun Dinger Man Actually Not Great At Baseball

I don’t like avocado. The texture is gross and the flavor is undesirable.

It’s a direct competitor for the same young sports/culture audience and also the young sports/culture writer talent. While I’m sure The Ringer gets only a fraction of the traffic Deadspin gets, they are arguably “on the rise” whereas an unscrupulous vampire mannequin tanked Gawker Media and Deadspin is now ultimately…

Making fun of Simmons will always be funny and pretty easy (especially because it seems like he got fired from ESPN, read Tim Ferriss and decided to do a Silicon Valley Grantland) but ultimately I like The Ringer and his podcast for pretty much the same reasons I like Deadspin. I’d imagine a lot of people feel this…

This program should be taken out back and put down like the miserable moral failure that it is. That said — let’s not pretend that these practices aren’t the norm for literally every major NCAA sports powerhouse and even the mid-tier programs like Baylor. College sports is as corrupt an institution as exists.
