I understand why that’s attractive for simplicity’s sake but I don’t see why they should get to “keep their hands clean” of paying people bringing in tremendous value for the school.

For something to be a final nail in a coffin, the person/cause/competition has to already be pretty feeble. The final nail means the body was already in the coffin and the lid pretty well nailed down. So the question becomes what the hell was the Democratic candidate doing being on life support or beyond, in a…

To me, blaming James Comey for Donald Trump winning the election is like the favoured team losing to the massive underdog and then whining about it after the game, saying the ref shouldn’t have called that slashing penalty in the third period that led to them giving up a powerplay goal. The thing is, the game should…

I’ve read this story three times and I still can’t figure out what the fuck is going on. I’m just going to assume that all three of these people are probably assholes.

That header from Ronaldo to set up the penalty was absolutely spectacular. I know nobody will take about it given all the other dramatics, but damn that was nice

I had to look up Brandeis U to find out where the hell it was at and now shut my mouth and call me cornbread, you mean to tell me something like this happened near Boston. Not that uber progressive city with its oh so liberal citizens Boston? I do declare that this must be a misprint.

In defense of The Browns, they were under the impression his last name was “Football”. With a name like that, how could he not know the game? Why even bother asking?

What’s a better NCAA analogy than Matthew 21:12–13:

Rick Pitino died for our sins.

That is some real bad press for Weber Shandwick. They should consider hiring a PR firm to get ahead of this.

Lazy joke, Jeff.

Except you should then focus your harsh policies on the possible rapist, not his potential rapee

Baseball is a game of tradition. If ballplayers today aren’t being paid enough they should do what the old-timers used to do-fix games for racketeers.

Nobody’s missed the point, you ignoramus. Everybody knows why they asked these stupid questions. That doesn’t change the fact that they shouldn’t be asked in a setting which is in every way a job interview.

Is there a way for the NFL Network to inoculate itself against future gaffes by this oldtimer? Maybe a Polian vaccine?

Better communication has obviously been the difference. LeBron yelled defensive instructions to Isaiah Thomas, but the words just seemed to go over his head.

“Look, I don’t care if you were in Jumanji, Drake is the only jocksniffer allowed up there.”

it would, I guess, if the writers were also the ones in charge of procuring advertisers.

Sometimes the player actually does whack the mole, so it can still be satisfying to play.
