One snake and suddenly Deadspin’s not so pro-Union after all.

I think it’s “on to” not “onto”.

maybe kinja is a Bucks fan?  *shrug*

and Ryan Fitzpatrick’s performance only makes it funnier.

This is why organized labor is a good thing.

Oh, did they actually remember to renew that in 1999?

So... is this cultural appropriation? What do medieval Scandinavians think?

The pitching in the playoffs depends entirely on Sale’s health. I’m not panicking yet.

There’s a scale of powerful home runs. First, there’s the big home run. Then there are bigger ones that you know are gone so there’s time for a bat flip. Then, there’s the even bigger ones that don’t need a bat flip.

Pause and think about a stretch where +1 over .500 is a slump.

I think the coaching staff, for sure, but are the assistants guilty? Was the AD and his direct staff complicit? What about the university president and the dean of students?

Let me start here before getting to Penn State...

Well obviously anyone who wants to get out of that abusive program now should be able to. I’m just pondering the impact of forcibly throwing everyone out along with the bad coaches.

Transferring would have some issues to sort out...

now that’s messed up!

Well you obviously have to punish the coaching staff here. They failed on a level that’s just completely inexcusable. None of them should ever coach again anywhere.  And you could go so far as to say the entire athletic department made a terrible hiring choice and should also be responsible and the NCAA should appoint…

If they sign on to a certain program and after one year the coach is gone to a bigger school or the NFL, they still get almost the same thing they started with. So removing the one piece would at least still let them play football at Maryland.

I understand your passion for wanting to eliminate the whole program. I’m just not sure how I feel about doing that to the players.

This is where the expanded playoff spots undermine the waiver deadline.
