What I don’t understand is how it was reported the Latino players were making a coalition against an international draft. Which apparently worked since there’s no international draft. However, they seemingly cut available money for international signees by an incredible amount, and everyone’s cool with that? How does…

Trips’ look was just awful in the waning days of his long hair. Shaving it was the best thing he ever did.

The most ridiculous thing about this, and there’s a lot to cover, is that the Reds have enough mascots to take on an entire football team

Is this the earliest “he’s in the best shape of his career” ever?

That’s incredible.

To be fair they also write a lot about how great regular season NBA is

ALL OF THEM

You get a star for reminding me how sweet the Hagerstown Suns’ cap is

In my defense “the NFL is rigged for Pittsburgh” is the hottest take I got, not real big on conspiracy theories otherwise. I don’t even think it’s “rigged,” more that they get the benefit of the doubt because it’s in the NFL’s best interests that they remain relevant, and I believe the Rooneys are favored by the NFL…

Me too. Times a thousand. If you didn’t already suspect the NFL favored the Steelers, the extremely minor slaps on the wrist dealt out to their coaching staff in the aftermath should have removed all doubt. Between the Bengals’ inability to win a playoff game, the NFL’s inability to define what a catch and/or fumble…

You aren’t arguing they aren’t dirty, just that the NFL isn’t biased and everyone is just jealous. Seems legit.

What the numbers show in this season’s 12-game sample does not equal what’s happened over the last decade-plus. Hell, I’ll even throw in the Cowher era, too. If you’re going to root for a dirty team, at least own it. Pittsburgh ownership’s cozy relationship with the league office is well documented.

He’s no Greg Jennings, I know that

Burfict is horrible, don’t get me wrong, but Pitt cries harder than anyone about being cheap shotted when they’re the kings of it. I’m also enjoying the schadenfreude of the Giants (one of the NFL’s golden boy franchises) crying about preferential treatment towards the Steelers (one of the other NFL golden boy…

Agree 100%. Vontaze Burfict cheap shots someone, he’s the worst human on the planet. Steelers cheap shot someone, STEELER FOOTBAW.

Maybe this is just time moving faster as I age, but it feels like these two teams play 15 times a year.

I saw the article that a Latin American contingent was going to talk to MLB/the union about not instituting a draft. But how is this better? Isn’t this going to markedly reduce the payout to young Latin talent?

The main thing that made me quit the NFL was the Bengals, but the catch rule is a close second.

I used to put away some serious Taco Bell, and I’m shuddering at that order.

Two double slices of pepperoni and way too many breadsticks fueled many a sex-starved Friday post-dinner wank session in my teenage years
