For real, stop with the endless replay reviews (or my pet peeve, the review-before-the-review) and enforce a pitch clock and you’ll see games speed up real quick.

Agree 100 percent. The distinctive annual logos went a long way toward making each game seem like its own “happening.” Now it’s just “the championship game.” Or maybe it’s that I was like ten. Probably that I was ten.

Costas has rocked for a long, long time.

This was my thought, could I even catch up to him or physically affect him enough for a foul to be called? I doubt it.

Billy Halsey said it was over after the first two weeks so I stopped paying attention

I said, holeeeeee fucking shit they aren’t ACTUALLY going to have him win. They just CAN’T.

That guy who does the avoiding the NFL column sure seems to love La Liga, maybe he should have that beat

Wheat thins? Come ON. Cheez Its are the best, Captain’s Wafers 2nd, Ritz are third, the rest can die in a fire.

The drivers were highly involved in setting this up, though

I’m not going to talk about how James Harrison was a destroyer of worlds for the Steelers, went to the Bengals and could barely even see the field, then goes back to Pittsburgh and is immediately a killer again. I guess it could be the scheme. But I’m gonna say it’s definitely steroids.

The paragraph about how lonely and awful it is to be unhappy in San Diego is so perfect, so spot-on. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone capture that, or even admit to relate to that, quite so well.

One of the worst things about Twitter is that it’s allowed us all to see what moron douchebags most athletes are.

I found the 1981 Bengals NFL Films highlight reel on Youtube a while back, and it actually acts like the league thought it was a joke at first, and the Bengals looked like clowns.

I’m a Dale Jr. fan and I’m really concerned the next hit is going to be it for him. I almost wish he’d just retire. They’re happening more often and it’s taking longer to come back. That’s not good. I had picked Carl as my backup after he was so cool about Homestead. So much for that! Viva Mexico, I guess? Go Suarez?…

The absolute best part about this song was that it came out not in 2003, right before they won the world title (and Creed’s popularity was just starting to fade), not 2004, coming off a world title, not in 2012 when they opened the new stadium. No, this song celebrated the sneaky-entertaining “1,500 losers baking in a…

I wasn’t necessarily glad when my wife got pregnant and I was 28 and still didn’t remotely have my shit together, but I am definitely glad she’s six and not a newborn now that I’m 35.

What did Billy Beer taste like? Please tell me it was pretty much like PBR.

Manfred’s the one who made it OK for New Era to put the NE flag on all the major league caps. He’s worse than Trump.

I quit after the playoff game. I didn’t watch a game all year. Christmas Eve I said, I can’t go a whole season without watching once, they’re playing tonight, what the hell. Wound up sitting there putting frosting on sugar cookies, watching on my phone and seething. My wife said, “I’m glad you quit watching this.” Me…

Respectfully, I disagree. My experience in high school and college was that I had to work with others too much. Too often I had to pick up the slack for people who didn’t want to do anything. When “group project” came up I knew I was going to end up doing 90 percent of the brain work. By the time I finished college I…
