RGIII: “Your knee’s okay.” My knee! I coulda taken the NFC East apart! So what happens? Kirk Cousins gets a shot at the playoffs and I get a one-way ticket to Texas. You was my coach, Jay, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda took care of me so I didn’t have to take them concussions for short-end…

This obviously qualifies as satire, so PSG and Emirates can fuck right off.

When people started saying, “That’s so ghetto.”

Why is their agreement a relevant factor? Schools walk out of conferences all the time. If 24 top tier schools all walk out together and set up their own thing, the NCAA is going to bend over backwards to make sure they get a piece of that pie. That’s exactly how the Premier League was founded: the entire top flight…

Come on, Mid Tennessee is this close to having a breakout season.

I get that the State of Israel is problematic and all, but can we get a BDS movement going on Texas?

You prefer a system where incoming freshmen are saddled with the “sin” of being in a stronger conference?

You jest, but you’re not wrong. The FBS and now the playoffs share the same problem that the old system had, which is that they’re all, at heart, completely arbitrary. College football’s biggest issue is that too many good teams play too many games against shitty opponents because they happen to be in the same…

Only one Bradford. And when your high card is Sam Bradford, you’re in serious trouble.

I think the idea was that GQ and Esquire attract a higher-income audience, which are thuswise more attractive to advertisers.

I think it’s also that we don’t talk as much about things men can do right, either in their approach or in the circumstances they choose. Over the years I’ve read plenty of threads on Jez and elsewhere, and had plenty of conversations with female friends and acquaintances, detailing times men approached them that were…

I can’t speak for all men, but I’ve sort of given up on the real-life approach. Too often I hear (online and IRL) women complaining about guys randomly hitting on them in public places. Maybe I’m just too egocentric and it isn’t meant to be about me, but I don’t want to make someone uncomfortable or creeped out so I…

It’s very meta, and in addition to meta being over, it still misses the point.

I guess you’ve never heard of Schleswig-Holstein.

That The Local is trash has nothing to do with it being in English and for English speakers.

“Where you always this bad at lightsaber dueling, or did you take lessons?”

“I took lessons!”

That is not the case with Benítez and James.

Nothing Manning does now will stop him from being a HoFer, even if he throws nothing but interceptions returned for touchdowns in the next game. Osweiler, right now, has the chance to get a starting QB job at a second-rate team with no good draft prospects. If he starts in a playoff game and has a poor performance,…

Not that pompous? This is a guy who bought a football team with his family’s money so his then-wife could redesign the uniforms.

I’d put it in even more basic terms than that: a fast, “new” offensive strategy will get fans excited. Trades, especially questionable ones, provoke discussions and media coverage about what the coach’s master plan might be, exciting fans further. Excited fans buy more tickets and merch and watch more TV. All that…
