Read this 1986 Rick Reilly profile after Sports Illustrated named Joe Paterno its portsman of the Year. It’s fairly obvious that Peterno actually began believing this “Joe Saint” baloney and people wanted it to be true too.

“Unfortunately no records of what happened in the league for the 1970's exist because everybody was too coked up to remember to record everything.”

The two major problems with Phil Jackson as president of the Knicks:

Finding out Drew goes to church is something I wish I did not know. Color me crushed.

“It’s not that the Republicans are playing chess and the Democrats are playing checkers, it’s that the Republicans are playing chess, and the Democrats are once again in the nurses office because they glued their balls to their thigh.”

It’s important to understand that these comments reflect the actual beliefs of these people; the bigger problem is their information sources.

Except that Bobby Bowden—for years the highest paid employee by the state of Florida—is virulently opposed to government helping poor people.

And that Hank Finkel kicked butt!

You know who doesn’t get enough credit? Pete Carroll just finished his fifth straight 10-win season with the Seahawks—but the national narrative remains that he is a good but not great coach. However, Carroll’s enormous success since 2000—in college and the pros—proves that he is among the all-time greats.

I don’t want to make fun of her, but a real pro would have handled the situation with grace and possibly even humor. But MC is who she is, an unpleasant person with the worst of all traits—treating underlings as non-human.

What truly sucks is that Rex Ryan will get a cushy TV job, will say nothing truly interesting (think Herm Edwards) and will be lauded as a fascinating media personality.

Beautiful remembrance of a great talent.

Hate to be judgmental but JJ seems to take himself VERY seriously. It never hurts to laugh at yourself once in a while.

Only Fox News would say Schilling won the debate.

Serious question: Is it possible NFL owners will fault Goodell for cities like San Diego refusing to pony up big bucks for a new stadium? Unseemly dealings in St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland can’t be good for the overall health of the league?

Swinney, of course, is a staunch Republican who spoke of “fiscal responsibility” in a press conference last summer.

No. A preemptive move like the one you describe could endanger other planes in the air and on the runway.

Right on! One small victory for me has been civic push back against rich fucks using public money for new stadiums, from which they generate revenue. Fix the fucking plumbing, get some state of the art clubhouses (if you must), and build some stupid luxury boxes so corporations can wine and dine as tax write offs. I,…

Yep. And seeing that it’s Texas, any chance these same people hate Hillary because, you know, ethics?
