So you’re saying football, like all organized religion, should be wiped off from the face of the planet to make the world a better place?

I mean...would you go?

An underrated sports joy is being the visiting fans and having the stadium ring out with “DE=FENSE” when the home QB is on the field.

It’s not even the impossibility of imaging an alternative to capitalism, it’s imaging a slightly different version of the capitalism we have today.

What strikes me is how many of the same people that regularly decry the dangers and evils of SOCIALISM — which they usually conflate with COMMUNISM in that they think everybody will get the same paycheck — and then without batting an eye will whine about how paying college athletes will ruin everything and would be a…

I know these media people are paid to carry water, but there are so many others who just cannot possibly conceive this world where college athletes get paid.

Zen koan for the day: is Darren Rovell the Chris Cillizza of sports journalism, or is Chris Cillizza the Darren Rovell of political puditry?

Networks pay millions for ex-players to explain these things to viewers, and 99 times out of 100 it’s obvious the analyst just tries to wow the viewer with jargon from their playing days and fill the airtime with word salad.

You know who looked better than Kirk Cousins yesterday? Teddy Bridgewater. You like that?

I haven’t been this mad at Cousins since Grandpa died without a will.

Cousins should sleep with one eye open because I hear the receivers are stocking up on socks and soap bars.

Yeah, maybe they could have used that pick to get the next Mookie Betts.

Well yeah. You definitely don’t want to give up the coveted 33rd pick in the Rule 4 Draft.

I’m not sure what the owner’s net worth has to do anything. That suggests the finances of the team are commingled with the personal funds of the owner. Here’s a better reason to keep Betts.

John Henry has a net worth of $2.7 billion.
