You are dead on. I coached AAU. The team I got was the sucky rich kids whose parents wrote checks which paid for our program director’s Benz and paid for the scholarships some of the top kids on the elite traveling team got. My crappy team of HS freshmen played in tournaments with multiple kids taller than me (6-4)…

Also, this was early 90's right before UW somehow mysteriously landed Rashard Griffith (*cough* Ford Explorer *cough*). 

I coached AAU. I walked into a neighborhood gym in a Seattle right after being laid off from my job at the time, said I’d coached before (which I had, middle school kids) and the next night I was running practice of my own team made up of rich white kids not good enough for the top teams but whose parents were willing…

Every year for a very long time my cousin and I would call each other on draft day and the opening day if the NFL season and talk Lions. He and I even went to a Lions/Giants game in Jersey (Lions actually won). A few years ago he didn’t call on draft day. Then he didn’t answer when I called the opening day of the…

I turned to my wife and said “he’s going to make it.” Sure enough. I wasn’t mad, I knew it was coming.

Nobody will. Fucking Trump.

I met a guy in Portland who had his 4 year old in a Lions jersey. I asked him why he would subject his kid to the disappointment and pain we had know and he said “it builds character.”

I went to college in Milwaukee. The largest population of students at MU are from Illinois (specifically Chicago), Wisconsin and Minnesota. They trash talked each other like mad but me, I didn’t exist. Even though the Lions were good wit Barry and Herman Moore and had even won the NFC Central the year before. I tried…

Onaway is Northern MI, off I-75. I only know of it because I’d visit my grandparents a lot and they lived on Burt Lake, which isn’t too far from it. Not surprised someone from there would complain. Trump may be a little too moderate for them up there.

he got injured during that run. Then the Rockets signed him to a contact with a Poison Pill clause in the final year that the Knicks (amazingly) smartly declined to match.

I think the uniforms were rejected by the Any Given Sunday team as too unrealistic for a professional team to ever wear.

I was a speaker at a sports law seminar at U of Oregon a few years ago and one other panel was about marketing, contracts, etc., with agents and a dude from Adidas. Someone asked “who will be better, Jameis or Marcus” and after others tried to kiss ass of all of the OU students in the crowd the Adidas guy said…

not when this is already the hottest July on record and we’re on track for 2019 to be the hottest year on record.  These incidents are the result of an epidemic, not a one-time event. 

108 degrees in Paris, 105 degrees in the Netherlands, 106 degrees in Germany, 104 in Belgium, no those had never happened before.

I was IMing with a buddy in Belgium yesterday asking about the extreme heat there. He said it went from 100 to 71 in 45 minutes after a hail storm came though. Now snow storms in France in July. Nope, no weird issues with climate going on in the world, everything is perfectly normal.

Imagine if an the one unarmed black Ironbirds player was fatally shot by a police officer in a tragic incident. How would the team honor that player? Would they put a patch with the players number on the jersey or would they replace the American flag on the back of the jersey with a Black Lives Matter symbol?

It’s fascinating and not even all that ridiculous—the Rays have done this a few times before without any similar protests or protracted delays

facilitating (but not pulling the trigger) of her husband? Rae Carruth just found his new prison pen pal.

he’s more likely to be one of those child molesting Boy Scout leaders. 

pretty much all of Batman’s Rogues Gallery was combined and the result was Richie Incognito.
