I had the same sort of back fracture Romo did (playing rugby), and let me tell you something. I screamed like a pussy. I rolled around like a soccer player, but that hurt worse, so I screamed some more. I screamed for five minutes straight. Broken transverse processes get better pretty quick, but I was out for about…

That's because the Seahawks DO employ rugby coaches, out of the Serevi Rugby camp, I believe. They consult on tackling specifically, and it shows.

"I am intolerant of Governor Wallace's stance on race relations and education." Now, what would that make you in Alabama, in 1962? Intolerant of segregation? Sweet. That's how bad things change. Kevin is standing up to bigotry, while you're guilty of what's called a false equivalency. You should look it up.

That move was smoother than his bald spot

For real: can his agent not find a doctor who can diagnose some sort of social anxiety disorder? Is there an exemption in the NFLPA collective bargaining agreement that covers this? The whole situation is serving no one.

So crew parents are the worst parents. I never knew!

Is that athlete...crying?

And people wonder why everyone wants to move to San Francisco.

Yes.

"Four aces?" You mean Madison Bumgarner and a garden shed full of broken rakes? I love Hudson, Peavy and Vogelsong, and they've pitched their asses off, but they're doing it with baling wire and duct tape. Every inning those three pitch is a walk along a high ledge. Now, if you want to talk about unsung aces,…

Fair enough. So then don't volunteer if you want to get paid. She signed up to be a volunteer. CGI never purports to be anything but a for-profit company. Yes, there is a charitable component to R&R races, but this volunteer, who is a lawyer filing a class-action suit, is being the greedy one.

That's an excellent retraction. Mistakes happen, though I'll admit that when I read your primary source was 77, and then searched in vain for any corroboration from the candidate's HS classmates, I actually thought, "Hmm. This is a little weird."

This should be the #1 response, right?

This is some kind of bullshit (full disclosure: I was a freelance regional editor for Competitor from 2005-2009). First of all, who SUES for something this petty? I put on a pretty popular trail race in San Francisco for a number of years, and beat the bush for volunteers, but also kicked in a few hundred to their…

American rugby (Union) lifer here, and I don't even care that he's a League guy. The fact that rugby is getting 150 comments and 77,000 page views makes me tingle all over

Fun baseball rules trivia that I learned to my chagrin recently in my team's Men's Senior Baseball League game: if there is a runner on base, Moose cannot throw the ball in from out of play; he has to jump back on the field to throw it.

Ho! Look at how gassed they are...and I'd add more but then I'd be that insufferable rugby fan

Hockey and combat sports. Those are the only two that I know of to which we give props. WHY? WHAT'S IT TO YOU BRO? YOU WANNA GO?

Do you know how hard it is to make a naked tackle?
