I’m an American who has watched and enjoyed American football for 50+ years. I went to Cal (best rugby tradition in the U.S.) and really enjoyed the game, but didn’t really become a fan until my son started playing about 10 years ago. I am firmly convinced that rugby is a superior game to American football: more…

I can match her in the squat and crush her in bench, but she’s got me by easily 50 lbs. in the deadlift. I’m also like 3x her weight and I’m guessing I have a foot on her in height. That is one strong little person.

“Dunn was largely a non-factor in his rookie year.”

My dad was a great athlete in his day. He was a great dad who never pushed his kids athletically; he was content with whatever athletic glory he had achieved on his own, didn’t need to relive it through his kids, and was happy just to encourage and teach when asked. However, he was a terrible grandfather who yelled…

God damn, Emma. You missed a chance here.

There; I fixed the headline for you.

Oh man, you made an error in you calculations. SI publishes 50 weeks a year, so rather than overpaying 9% for 11 issues, you would have only overpaid 2%. This is how companies die.

Back in the day, porn available to the average pre-teen boy was limited to the SI swimsuit issue or any issue of Cosmo.

I’m completely ok with this. If its the ninth and you’re down by 3, bunting to get on is kind of a dick move, since its mostly about breaking up the no-hitter (WPA 97% for pitcher’s team). But the 6th inning is still competitive baseball; getting on base is a player’s primary offensive duty.

There is a reason the history of great NBA players who were also great NBA executives/coaches is so short; basically its Jerry West, and some short sidebar articles on Bird, Billy Cunningham, K.C. Jones, Tommy Heinsohn, maybe Lenny Wilkens.

To be fair, West is right about HRC. He didn’t say the Russians WEREN’T involved. But Hillary lost the election. Even a shitty, blind-ass ump can see that.

“Sending away a franchise killer.” You answered your own question. This is a great trade for the Hawks.

Hit .224 and not be able to make a throw to home plate from the outfield.

So the Lakers traded the 2nd pick in the draft from two years ago for the 27th pick and salary relief? Watch out Warriors!

Tragic loss for his family and friends. Capes are bad:

Rest assured, if there is any organization on Earth capable of and willing to stand up to Russian strong-arming, it is FIFA. This will be perfect, I’m sure.

I have a few conservative family members and FB friends. Whenever I cite an article from CNN, any network other than Fox, any newspaper other than the WSJ, I get the “you’re falling for liberal MSM spin on facts” argument (that, of course, never prevents them from bringing up the most insane faux-news cites from Fox,…

I can’t really understand what you expect Oregon St and the Pac-12 to do on this. I’m presuming OSU was not aware of Heimlich’s (presumably) juvenile conviction (I’m not sure how Oregon criminal law looks at this situation; in California, certain types of more severe sexual assaults committed by minors become public…

I think you miss Albert’s point: the Warriors appear to be on another level from the Cavaliers. While this was also the case last year at this point, two things render last year moot: (1) last year was the greatest comeback in 70 years of NBA championships and “greatest” anythings generally don’t happen two years in…

Nice work by McEnroe; I am 100% in agreement with him on the importance of sexuality in tennis (or any sport). I’m also basically on the same page with him on the renaming issue: let’s not rush into this without thinking it through.
