NFL games are TV shows first and games second. So it’s about generating drama, not so much getting every call exactly right. Both games this weekend had awful, game-changing errors by the officials, but if people want every play and penalty to be reviewable, the games will be unwatchable. Holding occurs somewhere on…

And luckily the law of unintended consequences wouldn’t apply inside stadiums. I mean, like holding, there are PI infractions on lots of plays. There’s a reason police don’t stop everyone going 56 mph and there’s a reason refs don’t call every incidence or holding or pass interference. Every drive would progress and…

A perfect example of this was the roughing the passer play in the Pats-Chiefs game where clearly Tom Brady’s life and livelihood were put at great risk by Chris Jones waving at him. But because he waved past Brady’s helmet it was called and extended the Patriots drive.

Robey said after the game that he was expecting to be called for PI because he wasn’t playing the ball, and was surprised at the no-call so he just kept his mouth shut.

This is hilarious. “IMAX on my yacht” is the new “let them eat cake.”

On a night like this, the best website in the world is https://www.diddukewin.com/

President Kennedy wouldn’t be less dead if the Secret Service had spotted Oswald in the window after the shots were fired.

“If you hate me just hate me and stick to it.”

Sometimes replies are good.

“I don’t wield my consequencing for inadvertently behaviorizing in less than not unpositive incrementalizations, and for this I will be more substantively extractive with my otherwise benign malignancies. This is all I will have to say on this matter of subject.”

The Seahawks coaching staff has to be pleased with their play-calling in that game. Run-run-pass-punt, and repeat for the entire game. They were playing 3D Candykand whole the Cowboys were playing something resembling 21st century football. Luckily for Seattle, the outcome didn’t depend on their kicker.

The Steelers should’ve just relied on their running game and given the ball to Le’Veon Bell more oft— Oh. Scratch that.

This team has actually lost the sports talk show hosts on TV and radio in DC, who depend on fan interest in the team for their own livelihood (not counting Larry Michael who continues to predict Washington will win every single game every year because they have better ‘intangibles’). They don’t give a fat fuck about…

General Rule of Being a Police Impersonator or Campus Security Detective Over 7 Years Old: Don’t conduct extortion or blackmail investigations by email. The extortionist, blackmailer, or stalker has likely compromised the victim’s email accounts.

Yeah, maybe. And if that’s true then he could also delete emails that she wouldn’t know she had received. But if you’re saying the police were sending her updates via email and that’s how he knew what was going on, I’m not sure I buy that. First, what kind of shit-for-brains cop would update an extortion victim by…

To me, that seems like the most astonishing part of this whole awful story. Not because it’s so surprising, but because it helps explain Lauren’s sense of helplessness and despair, knowing no one was going to help her. And, in fact, the people paid to protect her were, in fact, assisting her extortionist.

I feel like you buried the lede here. In her second call to the local police she says her killer knew more about her case than she did. He knew where the campus police investigation stood and what she had told them, and she says he knew things the police hadn’t even told her. Has the campus junior police auxiliary…

Not sure if you saw my reply to Gabe, but evidently, the Wizards and the Warriors are the only two NBA teams paying 3 players $15m or more per season... I feel like if they could’ve moved a $15m player, they would’ve. But maybe they didn’t try too hard to move one of the max players. Wall could thrive in a lot of…

Seems right...

I don’t think they can find anyone to take Wall’s new contract. They may trade Beal anyway, if they can move his max contract. Didn’t he ask to be traded recently? Seems like that was reported, but not sure if he actually demanded a trade.
