Ah yes, “is Joe Flacco elite,” that famous question asked by Ravens fans, not of them. What a relief for the fans of the rest of the league that we Ravens fans won’t be starting that conversation every time someone finds out who we root for.

Ah yes, focus on optics over tangible results, and don’t be like the Spurs — those two cornerstones of successful basketball strategy.

Cable packages have always included the big networks, but a la cart streaming packages may not. I could’ve fired up a stream or made the relatively cheap decision to add CBS to my a la cart menu, but since the game was crap, I did not. If it’d been as easy as flipping to the channel in my cable package, I almost…

LMAO Knicks fans have turned on Kristaps now too?? Y’all are gonna get Zion and then spend his entire rookie contract getting angry every time he leads them to a win.

Yeah, if only we could get more Democrats elected in Oakland, then we’d be able to put the brakes on Trump.

It seems like the author is saying that the use of “hail” immediately preceding “victory” is Nazi, and he provides several examples to that effect!

I gotta say, as a fan of an NFL team who were just brutally eliminated from the playoffs because our 21-year-old Heisman-winning QB isn’t yet ready to make quick reads and adjustments against a top-10 professional pass defense, the cries of “let the 19 year olds play” and “only a coward would start the season with a…

Denver. Assuming all this noise surrounding Kubiak means he’s going to play a major role in designing the Broncos offense, Flacco’s the perfect fit for his style.

Posts like this remind me why I really gotta start gambling again.

I don’t disagree with your larger point, but perhaps right before the playoffs when Goff’s confidence is at an all-time low is not the most opportune time for such a change?

Counterpoint: if there’s a state in the U.S. which most resembles a monarchy devolved into nominal democracy but still commanding it’s subjects’ fealty, it’s Utah.

Pardon me, but some of us read these blogs while eating.

That’s a great point. Americans don’t live in warm European climates like Berlin or Moscow. We need to wait until the summer to play outdoor sports, when cities like Dallas, Houston, D.C., and Orlando finally become tolerable.

“I used to define integrity as doing the right thing...”

It’s so weird to read an article which begins with a lede about third parties paying athletes under the table, a pivot of “a way that schools can both short-circuit the gray market in teenage athletes that play revenue-driving sports and fairly compensate athletes for their labor...” and not having that solution be…

This is it exactly. Coaches are bosses, not co-workers. If your boss comes in to work every day talking shit about the competition in order to get you work harder, then jumps ship to one of your main competitors, kinda puts the lie to everything he did to motivate you.

Just a guess, but I don’t think that the dude shouting in your ear about “Loyalty! Dedication! Commitment!” while you and your teammates are doing up-downs in the freezing mud for eight hours gets the same kind of pass as said teammates would give each other.

LMAO New Year’s Eve is “no pressure”? Let’s hang out this year. I’ll text you the location I’m at 10:45PM. You can tell me exactly how little pressure you felt when we finally see each other for half a second at 12:35.

I’m in my mid-30s with no kids and my only healthy adult relationships are with bartenders. Hating NYE isn’t about getting older and having to step back from the party scene. You just need enough years on Earth to rack up seven or eight disappointing NYEs in the span of a decade before you realize it’s a lie like…

I’d rather it was always on the last Thursday of the month TBH. Early Thanksgivings with a full week of November afterward always mess me up.
