McNutly is the white "hero" HBO requested because they didn't think people would watch a show that was predominately about African Americans without a white lead. He was the character Simon uses to unlock the rest of the story but isn't really the point of the story. If there's a main character in the show, it's…

Every country has this issue with the various leagues. It's a huge issue in English soccer as one of the theories for England's mediocrity in competitions is because of the EPL and Chelsea's best players mysteriously got "injured" before EuroCup qualifying a month or so ago.

It's kind of a chicken or the egg thing but the theory here is that if we develop just enough soccer players who turn into stars, it'll make the sport popular enough that a real soccer culture takes over and you see that happening more and more. I also think you see that soccer culture in immigrant neighborhoods,…

He had the ball when he leapt and he had the ball when he landed. Thus the announcers, Strahan and the Washington football team WR's going nuts. That's nothing but a ticky tack call that reminds people why the league is can called the No Fun League

other places I've read said that Lena describes him in ways to make it sound like it's one person in particular- someone who was well known at Oberlin, so it doesn't quite come off as an innocent mistake as much as a really irresponsible, dumb one. The man in question has every reason to be upset and threaten to sue

I like to imagine the NFLPA doing nothing but sitting around the office waiting for somebody to call them about something football related and getting disappointed when the call is only a telemarketer.

This would be pretty typical of the NFL- handle a few things completely horribly yet still get rewarded afterwards

Wait, they take players out of games for that?

Maybe the report is factually correct in that it wasn't the money that did it. Maybe it wasn't gold but hookers. Lots and lots of hookers. Plus lots of photos taken with said hookers that was threatened to be leaked.

At this point, it's almost like Qatar is trying to see just how far they can push FIFA into taking away their World Cup. The answer....pretty, pretty, pretty far

I would think that thing that would hold things back is the same thing that holes women back now- a justice system that's unable and often unwilling to take a woman's claim seriously. ESPECIALLY if that woman is a football player playing for a franchise that has a police department working for them

"pussy"

Meaning, he'll be back next quarter

that's the pisser of it all is that the show was starting to get some buzz. There's been at least four or five articles written by TV critics in the past week alone saying that the show was getting really good and it was starting to have an online presence. But just as all this was starting to build.....cancelled

He hit another grand slam this season too. He takes it seriously too and gets angry if he strikes out

I kind of wonder if Qatar was picked in part because everyone will be so outraged over that they won't be outraged what a stupid idea it was to hold the World Cup in Russia

awwww....how cute. We'll see how it goes after the Gisnts take the series in game 5 on a game winning 9th inning balk

Just like tobaccos companies!

What I find the most amazing part of the story is that the Tallahasse police did not actually shoot a bunch of black kids with BB guns

You might notice, however the person in the story who isn't being suspended
