"They signed him because they only have to pay him $816,482 to go out and do things like shoot 1-of-5 from the field in 17 minutes against the San Antonio Spurs."

4th quarter? Blount passed.
I forget exactly who said it, but one of the commentators (a former player) on Fox NFL last night said, "If the feds decide to investigate this deeper, the league could be in major trouble." Or something to that effect. Watching the segment I came away with the feeling that Mr. Jackson's case is anything but unique.
"23. Getting hit by a car."
But then you're saying that if he finished one place out of the money, you wouldn't have a problem competing against him, which IS totally arbitrary.
I was thinking the same thing. Unfortunately, this is entirely too reasonable for the NCAA.
I completely agree. My point wasn't to say that the MLS academy system should be abandoned, but rather that we need to strengthen the USMNT any way we can, including sending our best abroad. My point was actually similar to yours in that I believe that a more prominent USMNT will lead to a bigger pool of what you call…
I couldn't give a fuck less about a statue, wins, or whether the football team ever plays again, and I damn sure don't give a damn about Paterno's "legacy." What I care about is ensuring that this type of thing doesn't ever happen again and blaming Paterno is not the way to do that. It's an easy out for a far more…
True. My only point was that any increase in the popularity of soccer will ultimately help the MLS and they are wrong for implying that youth development is bad for U.S. Soccer.
"At some point, if [this continues], clearly I — and I assume my MLS partners — would need to reconsider our investment in youth development, which I don't think is ultimately good for U.S. soccer," he said.
I don't disagree. He should have (at an absolute minimum) followed up with Spanier. He probably thought that he did his part and washed his hands of it. I just think that a lot of people are pretty ignorant about the psychology of child abusers, which is why I posted that link. They don't just groom the kids, they…
It doesn't matter who the most powerful person is. Schultz, Spanier, and Curley were mandated reporters. They broke the law by not going to the authorities and are being prosecuted as they should be. Now again, since my question wasn't answered, if any of those mandated reporters went to police as was their legal…
He used his influence to keep it from coming to light by informing the university administration and the head of the campus police? The interesting thing to me here is let's imagine a world where Graham Spanier actually does his job and reports this to the police and Sandusky is prosecuted. How would we look at…
They checked the photos and found this image of her running the second half:
This is inexplicable and batshit insane. Despite all of the instruction, all of the sneers, all of the chiding, it's 2014 and people still can't shoot video in landscape.
He is so mediocre it hurts. No, seriously just check out the penguins in the playoffs the last couple years.
