You do realise that big-time “collegiate” football and basketball have found a work-around around that in the form of athletic foundations, which totals in the hundreds of millions per SEC school. Also Title IX has nothing to do with gross revenue generated per sport, only that their must be an equivalent number of…

Exactly. It’s ok when Steph Curry says he misses the visitors’ locker room at the Q because of the champagne smell. It’s ok when Dick-puncher goes on a profane tirade about the Cavs after the Finals. It’s ok when Iggy takes a subtle shot when mentioning OKC was their toughest opponent last season. But the world’s…

Here we go. The same Warriors team who won the title when every single opponent they played starting point guard was out? That Warriors team. The same Warriors team that almost lost to the Cavs when LeBron was the only viable offensive option. The same Klay Thompson who told LeBron the NBA was a man’s league but then…

Yep, it would have been a perfect fit. San Antonio would have had as close as a perfectly constructed roster as could be. They have size, their bench is deep, they move the ball, and their defense is top-5. Durant’s length and athleticism with Kawhi? Good Lord.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever read. This has absolutely nothing to do with coolness and sure in the hell has nothing to do with him being black. My gosh I tire of people making excuses for self-inflicted behaviour. He made the decision to go to Golden State and had to understand the consequences…

Geez this man is mental. There were warning signs in Oklahoma when he was criticised for not showing up in the playoffs against Memphis. He snapped and that was the second smallest market in the NBA. Now he’s in the 6th largest market in the entire country and he can’t handle a bit of criticism. What is going to…

Do what Kroenke is doing: develop the ancillary property themselves after being gifted free land worth millions. Arte Moreno attempted to do the same thing but unfortunately for him he ran into politicians that actually understood the value of real estate.

Well they could but add in strip clubs and nightclubs that are basically 24 hours, gambling nearly everywhere, and sportsbooks that you know the athletes will frequent and you have a disaster waiting to happen.

It’s the NFL way. This is too rich. I’ve said this from the very beginning. The NFL owners are so used to having total control of everything (including stadiums), they automatically assumed this would be no different. Except they are now dealing with a man just as greedy as they are. This is a man who filed bankruptcy…

Ladies and gentlemen of the MSM: this right here is what true investigative unbiased reporting looks like. Well done Diana. I’m somewhat new here but you have a fan in me. Great work!

It’s the former. The moment profits go down Gingerbread is removed.

This. Oh so this. If people want to see a political bloodbath in the form of removals of office, watch Nevada. Heads are going to roll big-time over this, especially since news came out that Adelson is privately financing a 18,000+ arena on his resorts’ property grounds AND shelled over $12 million to defeat the…

Excellent point which proves our point: any lemming with half-a-brain can run the NFL better than this nitwit. And spare me the complications of negotiating deals. The NFL has individual committees who handles every single aspect of it. Goddell is just a lost cause trying to find a way to be useful and he can’t even…

Quality has been down for years, but this year has been particularly bad. I can only think of a handful of games in which the product was up to snuff. I enjoy the excellence of the Patriots and Seahawks. They give maximum effort. The Vikings have been awesome to watch. Other than that, garbage. 

You just articulated what a person or professional organization that has common sense would do under these circumstances. The problem is Goddell and the NFL has none. They only care about two things: money and power. That’s it. They’re not interested in addressing domestic violence and never will be.

This was the last straw. I will not watch or support the NFL any longer. I was already weaning myself off of it slowly but this year takes the cake. I can’t think of a single league who has done more to destroy itself than this one. We already know about greed; wealthy people naturally are that way. The NFL even…

Well at least there was one winner out of all this: Ted Wells. He’s made millions off of such investigations such as this and Deflategate. Must be nice to get such work.

Well played on the football reference. I know all about caloric intake in reference to the “freshman 15" in the cold winters of Indiana. I would think a football player while in season would be preoccupied with such menial tasks like training and preparation for opponents. I guess Ed just like to eat and in mass…

Oh gosh no. That will make the Sox winning in 03 bearable.

So you mean never then? Got it.
