I’ve done my share of officiating at the high school level over the years. This is my take on your points, which are all valid ones, but perhaps not as clear cut as you and many may think:

Dan has zero interest in asking athletes and coaches anything that has to do with x’s and o’s. His only goal is to get the interviewee to reveal something personal, interesting, different or exciting, and it usually has nothing to do with the actual games. The only times interviews go very south is when the subject…

Are there actually 3 concrete walls in place between the fans and the field? Do officials really think the Russian fans are crazed lunatics?

I watch the video while listening to Tiny Tim sing "tiptoe thru the tulips". My day is assured to be a great one.

Ohio State recuperated from their sanctions in 2 years. It can be done. Also, the Miami job remains attractive to top tier coaches because of the incredible pool of talent in the backyard. As incompetent as Golden was, he always had top recruiting classes. All by staying with 2 zip codes. He just didn't know what to…

As a Canes fan, I'll warn you, "be careful what you wish for".

Do they make them in adult human male size?

GGG is a force of nature. The best fighter I’ve seen in many years. I don’t think there are several things holding him back as you suggest. I think there’s only one, and that’s the lack of a worthy opponent. He’s been toying around with the guys he’s faced. Purposefully extending fights so that he can give the fans…

I’m not convinced Tomlin made the call thinking that was his last play. He didn’t have much time to think about it. Calling a timeout to decide what to do would have ben frowned upon. I think he was running out of time and said “fudge it, I hope this run doesn’t take more than 5 seconds, or I’m going to be crucified”.…

The very first thing thrown at the bear looks likes a large and very tasty hoagie. Sure it was 2' up and away, but I'm sure it was clearly more filling than little morsels of "whatever" he was catching. Either this bear is just over the top lazy, or has had his fill of processed meat, fake cheese, wilted veggies and…

Funny you ask. As someone who has officiated, and often looks at the game thru an officials eyes, the instant I saw him bat the ball, my first reaction was to say, “oh boy, this can be an issue”. As someone who has officiated, I know the rule, and I know it’s a rule that is not often enforced, because it’s something…

My Fins signed Ryan Tannehill this offseason to a 6 year, $94 Million contract. During the same offseason, they signed Ndamukong Suh for 6 years, $114 Million. What this means for me and my fellow Dolfans is that our team will continue to suck very badly for at least another 6 more years.

I can't stop laughing. That slice of cake appeared out of nowhere!

What’s up with Bills fans? I count at least 6 dudes who are watching the play with their arms crossed at their bellies, as if overcome with indignation. Seems like an unnatural reaction as you watch the majesty of a supreme athlete in mid flight, stretching in all his glory towards the golden pilon. Would not a look…

Sorry, but #28 wasn't attempting a tackle. That was an attempt at trying to mount and ride him. He was aiming about 6' higher than where he should have, which would be at the trucks ankles.

“The Guy in in red at :09 second was the one that started everything”.

Terrible thing to see. I for one hate the jump and bump celebration. I have no idea what it’s called, so I made that name up. I hold my breath every time as the guys come down after the bump. They always land in an awkward twisting motion and I cringe fearing that an ACL will snap. Unfortunately, it's now happened to…

Come on man. If you can touch it, you can catch it.

Ah! Thank you so much for all the replies. Good Kinja all around!
