What happens if they don’t? Do they eventually start accumulating delay of game penalties until they have to start penalizing them half the distance from their own end zone and run into Zeno’s Paradox where they can never get all the way back for a safety? Does the NFC Championship never happen? As the years pass by,…

QB is unquestionably the most important position in sports. You can’t win consistently without a great QB.

I know a certain QB in the northeast that is sporting a red rocket at the slate of opponents left.

Why the fuck would anyone jump from Deadspin and GQ to The Ringer?

Rather than be snarky or rude, I would invite both of these guys to the paleontology lab where I work on the weekend. They can touch real, actual fossils with their bare hands and get some education on how they form, where they’re found, and how moronic it sounds when you denigrate a couple of centuries of actual…

I went to Journalismism school at the same time that Seth Wickersham and Wright Thompson were there. And I say “with” purely in the sense that we were all enrolled in J-school at the same time and they wouldn’t know me from Adam, given that the most important thing I learned at J-school is that I wasn’t going to make…

One week later, it’s hard to decipher what was definitely true, exaggerated or outright wrong in Wickersham’s piece because, unlike with peak Halberstam, it wastes too much time on nonessential stuff,

Also, does JJ not only believe that the secret society the Illuminati is real, but that they also control Taco Bell and are publicly using the new commercials to taunt us?

He’s more or less admitting that his decision in Halberstam is based on the “Honor by Association” fallacy (good prose must be true). He then proceeds to go line-by-line down the Wikipedia list of fallacies at a rapid fire pace.

By JJ’s dinosaur logic, cancer didn’t exist until the Roman doctor Celsus* inventedit, as he was the first person to use the word “cancer”. I suppose JJ would also believe that Celsus invented cancer to keep himself in business and it’s all just a conspiracy by doctors to make money off of people.**

Drew didn’t say the best sportswriter, but the most powerful and influential and it’s hard to come up with a good counterpoint. There are many REALLY good sportswriters, but none can point to a grantland-level project let along multiple versions of it. Simmons is influential enough that ESPN though it was a good idea…

“they’ll just give it to you like as almost like a History Channel which of other things that aren’t like on History Channel or just specific details that I felt that I was missing in life”

Imagine how stupid you have to be to believe that nobody ever found a fossil before someone used the term “Dinosaur”, which is literally jamming two latin words together that existed thousands of years ago. Like they honestly didn’t exist in reality until someone called them latin for “terrible lizard” but in english.

Also, I don’t think scientists hide the fact they often don’t find complete skeletons. It’s a very specific set of conditions that create a fossil.

I’ve never been one for tightening marijuana laws, but...

You know the seven chakras, but instead we have eight.

How can two guys who played for Coach K not believe in dinosaurs?

I’m wrong on this, I know I’m wrong on this, but I’m not entirely convinced that dinosaurs existed.

Two of the best players to come out of Duke think the world is flat, dinosaurs didn’t exist, 9/11 may or may not have been an inside job, and do “research” by reading random instagram pages. I blame Coach K.
