Occam’s Razor would suggest his agent tipped him off, but these other theories are fun too.

Amazed that Rosenthal tweeted out that he had a torn ACL/PCL... seems... reckless?

Unlikely to be a card at all if he picked it up, unless the ref determined that their was something sinister amiss... this is just plain buffoonery.

And owner, GM, coach... fans are a wash.

In the defender’s... uh... defense, the receiver just blindly ran into that one. What was he supposed to do, dodge?

Two things stood out to me in this. First was the perception that NFL careers are getting shorter because the average is under 3 years. When I was in 5th grade (Tom Landry was still coaching) our teacher was trying to get a point across that no matter how good any of us were at football, we couldn’t make as much…

With the Premier League deeper and Chelsea playing for 1st every year instead of a Top 4 spot as they were when much of the development structure was populated, they cannot afford to sacrifice playing time for kids that are possibly 2-3 years away. It sucks that most of them go on to star for other clubs, but the…

I originally read this as bad, but actually since I have only streamed a few cup games at work, it really isn’t going to affect my lazy Saturdays. For the record, NBC has done a decent job of staggering its 4-5 games per weekend across the three major tiers of the PL (CL contenders (big 6), Euro contenders (Everton,…

At some point, this has to be bad for La Liga... if many more high profile stars run afoul of the Spanish Tax Man, wouldn’t it make sense for established players to go elsewhere for a pay day? Sure, guys want to get paid top Euro, but if you have multiple offers, you take the one that seems to keep you out of…

In other heartwarming PG County news... Nothing.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are contacting The Management Group about making a sweetheart deal to get Depp for GM.

Rizzo already leads the league in HBP... throwing at him is kindof... pointless? I mean, hell, he gets hit 30 times a year.

It looks like a mess. And it also looks as if it will suppress scoring unless they really loosen offsides, as it is much easier to take goals off the board as opposed to giving goals that never happened because play was not allowed to continue.

Yeah, if you live any where that it, like, rains and is sunny and shit, you’ll have a disease mosquito, vermin, reptile infested shack in a bout three weeks. How you say, condemned?

So I really believe that kids should be allowed to enter the NBA draft at any point... after college, before college, during high school, etc. We think it is OK for the least qualified 15 year old to flip burgers, but even the best basketball players will have to either go overseas or wait 4 years to go pro.

Some of my friends were season ticket holders forever and were not the only ones completely butt-raped by the team when they moved into the new stadium. They switched their section, day package (Saturday to Sunday) and jacked up the price AFTER mailing the tickets... never informed until the wrong tickets. Take ‘em…

Disagree. While the bat is smaller, so is the strike zone. Assuming the pitch is going to be somewhat close, you can cheat a little bit, like a swinging bunt. It won’t work every time, but you would eventually get one in play.

I preferred the Buehrle-Zito games... they once dueled twice in a week and the combined time was a shade over 4 hours

You, sir, are a Real Men Of Genius

No, but in the year 3535...
