And to be honest, was he actually asked? Or was this just a way for him to bow out gracefully.

Wasn’t it the activation of a release clause? Regardless, it was all in the contract.

They are allowed one goaltender, and three other players, who are “overage” in each match.

You can’t fool me. I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I doubt TAMU has many boosters sympathetic to white supremacists.

“I’m glad to hear the rally was cancelled.”

So Sumlin praises a college president for “leadership” when he cancels a white supremacist rally? It seems like quite the low bar to jump over.

There is another part of this story. Giannis’ brother Kostas, who plays at Dayton, suffered some sort of injury this summer in Greece. While initially reported as a knee injury, there has been a lot of questions about what the actual injury is. No one has even publicly stated if Kostas will be back at Dayton this…

No I think it’s safe to say these things would still happen.

Right. I know that but didn’t expand on it. Coutinho doesn’t have the leverage to leave right now. I have no doubts that he isn’t going to be in Liverpool in a year or two. (Although I thought the same of DeGea and Manchester.)

He just signed a five-year contract in January. He has no leverage.

Thank you Deadspin. The NCAA release was simply a regurgitation of actions that every college and university is already required to do. But they are still getting credit for “doing something” anyway. The NCAA probably shouldn’t get involved in the punishment aspect of these things anyway. They are already…

But at least he didn’t kneel for the National Anthem right?

Man you are all over the place. If you find the punishment was disproportionate, then fine. But that certainly isn’t what you started saying. You said things like “but it would be nice if the next generation didn’t grow up to think the world owes them.” Blah, blah blah. Now that’s been reduced to inconsistent rule…

No that’s not what happened here. They didn’t get special treatment for “feeling offended.” The other team was disqualified because they broke the rules, and I am assuming that Kirkland got to participate in the championship game due to a process explicitly outlined in their rules as well. Your arguments get weaker…

I don’t make those complaints.

No. My God no.

No. Use shredded cheese while the burger is still on the grill.

“Seriously, if you’re Kirkland, why would you accept going to the title game.”

Everytime I read these, I am reminded of how the NFL’s twitter feed reads like a 50 year old guy trying to sound like a millennial.
