At least the Seahawks are 8-6 this season, maintaining a decent record when most publications (4-12 according to USA Today) had them in a rebuilding season. There are better questions that need answering: What the hell has happened to the Falcons since they blew the Super Bowl two years ago? Or the Jaguars; weren’t…

What’s with the mindset of Snyder and other billionaire owners. He has the means to build a beautiful new stadium without asking for one dollar of government assistance, yet he would rather leech off taxpayers. I thought guys like Snyder preached capitalism?

Gretzky career records courtesy of Wikipedia:

Except that would be real capitalism. Why do that when a fine system already exists—corporate welfare—in which taxpayers foot the biggest bill (stadiums) and owners invent an anti-competition salary cap to save money?

“Houston would have been a better long-term market for the NHL than Seattle IMO”

I selfishly wish Drew good health because he’s a damned good writer and my week is incomplete without the Jamboroo. Get well!

“How do these prosecutors live with themselves?”

You mean Liberty doesn’t Wi Fi filter Deadspin? Color me amazed.

The Canadiens would hab won it.

I love the reaction by the woman official at the next table over. Her mouth is agape like WTF followed by hearty applause.

While I agree that neither offense performed well, Washington and Utah are the two best defenses in the Pac-12. I suppose many people are so numbed by 49-42 scores that they have forgotten that 10-3 scores once were commonplace.

“backed Muhammad Ali’s support of the Vietnam War.” Meant to say Ali’s opposition of the Vietnam War.

Howard Cosell was many things but to call him racist is grossly inaccurate. Yes, there was the unfortunate little monkey contest, but Cosell took many stands for equal rights during his career and took a lot of crap for it too. Cosell was a life-long Democrat, a close personal friend of Jackie Robinson, and backed…

The Seattle Mariners have a documented history of sexism: https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/index.ssf/2018/07/seattle_mariners_executives_ha.html

Isn’t there some point where a guy like Bezos stops to admire the view of the mountain he climbed, and then chills the fuck out for 15 minutes on growing his brand/company?

We live in a country in which the third ranking senator was insulted that the president wished every American kid could attend college. We’re a nation of numb skulls (pun not intended).

Jim Wynn aka “Toy Cannon” was very generously listed 5'9 and 168 lbs and hit 285 career homers. Pretty good all-around player; in 1969 he hit 33 homers, drew 148 walks and scored 113 runs with .943 OPS. Back then, though, the only thing announcers and writers talked about were his 142 strikeouts. As a 9-year-old, I…

“It happened in Seattle, it happened in Jacksonville, and it is happening on the Jets.”

“I don’t think he’s NHL ready right now,” said Pierre McGuire after the Habs picked him. He’s ready now.

And after his Oakland/Las Vegas gig ends in humiliation about five years early, Gruden will be welcomed back to ESPN with open arms at $6.5 mil a year. Meanwhile, dozens of long-time producers/writers/tech people will be laid off by the WWL.
