I'm laughing at you.

Thank you for your insights, Captain Obvious. The point isn’t that Brady is or is not guilty; it’s that the NFL is so laughably incompetent that it can’t run an “investigation” into whether or not goddamn footballs are properly pumped up without pissing in its own shoes.

I say he’ll still be a handful for tackles. Well, most of one.

“Snyder: ‘now I come to really think about it, maybe it is a little racist.’”

Yeah that was pretty much my reaction to Mad Max, after only occasionally seeing recent Hollywood blockbusters (generally on planes) in recent years: all major studio films are fucking dreadful, but this isn’t quite as bad.

I genuinely thought the story was going to be that he tore an ACL trying to dive on the ball, and the school then rescinded the scholarship offer.

Jets: “For god’s sake stop throwing the football.”

Mission: Difficult

Actually, it wasn’t a fight at all. IK was just demonstrating that it is possible to throw one which hits someone on your own team.

Nah, it’s more shitty journalism from a Gawker Media site. Deadspin clearly cut the bit at the start where Cowherd says “I’m not racist, but...”

FIFA will continue running the game, corruption will continue running FIFA, and you will continue watching.

I have never seen this show, but I think I can play. Guns n’ Roses’ “Civil War”, by Florence & The Machine. Ends with whoever the main guy is walking out of a family dinner to join his faction in a fight to keep control of the gang, because WHAT’S SO CIVIL ABOUT WAR ANYWAY?

They are the pre-2004 Boston Red Sox.

One of these days, this will end poorly.

Not the only valid reasons, but among the valid reasons. The key word is “symbol”. The flag can and does symbolise many things, including states’ rights, southern pride... and grotesque racism. When you’re waving a banner you can’t pick and choose which bits of its symbolism you want to align with.

The black guy? Seems harsh.

Yeah the dude has no character, and it's only thanks to the Boston media that this has been found out. Let's all laugh at those dicks in SF who let this oxygen thief play for years while barely winning three World Series.

Even if you were right (which: no) you must see that it’s a pretty weak argument to draw equivalence between a Supreme Court judge’s opinion and some dude commenting on a sports blog. I mean, sure, they're both glib and crass. Which one should we be worried about?

First of all, I applaud Gawker for this policy. People who say things with the expectation of anonymity shouldn’t subsequently have that anonymity removed without their permission.

“Prospective”, but +1 anyway.
