This is the deal they came up with even with an (offseason) lockout.

Disadvantaged? He got to go to a school he shouldn’t have gotten into, and even got extra tutoring presumably not generally available to all the other failing kids in the school. Heartwarming story, but I hesitate to call a man who has likely been treated like a king since High School ‘disadvantaged.’

Not what I said. Note my careful hedging, which I’m sincere about: “College kids wanting to play sports is great ... [there’s no benefit to] institutionalizing it at anything close to this level”.

The fact that, across the country, millions of people give a fuck about college sports beyond the level of fuck that is given about, say, a high school football game in Not-Texas, is a cancer in our society.

I feel like I’m in a sort of unique position—I’m a former NCAA DI coach who now teaches at a large state school. Man, I love having athletes in my classes, so it always makes me sad/frustrated when athletes express this idea that they think all faculty are against them. Many faculty truly enjoy university athletics…

Yeah. Where’s the bath salt-fueled face-eating cannibalism?

No one in this story got shot, eaten by an alligator, or busted for methamphetamine distribution, so I fail to see how this is the quintessential Florida story.

Wouldn’t a 20 cent drop in gas prices at your local station be significant? Same concept.

After his disastrous deposition in the Gawker trial I would have thought Denton would punt him to the moon if he ever saw him again. Almost shocking to see him here.

I was about to come in and say “he won 8 games in Buffalo with Tyrod Taylor playing quarterback,” but then I realized the Bills won 9 games the year before with the immoral Kyle Orton under center.

And apparently he’s gonna sit on that laurel for the rest of eternity. That was 7 years ago, and it seems to be ignored that they lost both games.

Russell drank his ass off. He partied nonstop and it was never a secret.

Manziel wasn’t lambasted? He’s been criticized (and usually for good reason) for basically his entire career and beyond.

Are you kidding? JaMarcus Russell lasted longer than Manziel and by all accounts was at least as fucking stupid.

So...it probably shouldn’t be a surprise, but The Undefeated has not been a good website/blog/whatever.

Security is awful at my country’s Euro, I’m really ashamed to say it.

You’re right War. I guess I’m just Billy Mumphrey, a cockeyed optimist.

i understand the concept and logic behind it as well and that its not a lot of money for a trucking business..... but come on now look at it this way:

the company is called nikola (clearly trying to make you think its connected to tesla)

does your dad want to invest in my 100% electric plane business? deposit is $2500 paypal and its totally “refundable”
