It's not something a lot of teams do but I'm not for obeying unwritten rules. If teams don't like it they can change it next spring at the league meeting.

This technicality is why Indy hasn't IR'd Vick Ballard.

As a WVU alum I'm guessing he was "watchin" game tape of last year's campaign. I heard many a boy and girl say that of the WV QB play in 2013.

That's gold.

I think the mid field is what got dominated. The D had some good moments but you're absolutely right about Howard.

I'm going to print out your nightmare scenario and set fire to it.

You're a treasure to this great country.

I think it's great and I personally have been glued to the TV for the US games. I watch other World Cup games when I can. (Watching Mexico right now) The problem is that after this tournament I just don't care about a team. It falls into the baseball zone for me. Unless the stakes are high I'd rather do something else…

If this guy accrues more than 30 wins as a starter for his entire career I'll fuck an inflatable swan in public. Party hard, Johnny.

Replace "Stanley Cup" with "NBA Finals" and you can use the same headline.

I don't get it either. I always pull for him. He's clearly the best player in the world AND unlike Jordan and Kobe not a complete dick face. The Decision was a very poor choice by he and his PR people but if that's his biggest transgression I'm all set.

Agreed. In most ways. They might as well just sell the roster update for $60 each season. I can't believe anyone actually tests it before they release it each year.

It's odd that these guys are basically justifying terrorism yet nobody ( at least not to my knowledge) is keeping an eye on every last one of them. There are boards all over the world where the next shooters of America are gathering the courage to go out in a blaze of glory and nobody is acting on it. Again , maybe…

There is plenty of dysfunction in the NFL and no doubt some homophobia exists. BUT, it is no doubt a meritocracy through and through. If Michael Sam had jumped off the tape at the scouts and GM's he would have been more sought after. Plain and simple. The vast majority of his production came against lineman who…

While no one solution will fix the shit show of college athletics I think divorcing the top 60 programs in football and basketball and have a whole different set of rules for them would be a start. What's just for the Alabama football player shouldn't apply to the volleyball player at Boise St. In no way should they…

Given that the case was totally botched and the defendant was the star QB in a town that worships college football I'd say that's a mighty long leash you're giving Winston. Maybe he did maybe he didnt. But it seems to me you have a case of Penn Statetitis.

Really? Redskins to me has always just been the name of a football team. That's not to say that I don't think it WAS a slur at some point in history or shouldn't be changed. On "tier 1" though? No way. Has anyone actually used it as a slur in the past 50 years?

I had no horse in the race and found watching the loser channel riveting. Great idea and one I hope gets used again. Options always beat out no options when it comes to entertainment.

I said change it didn't I?

Ah, the token Gawker-site-zero-sum rebuttal. You missed my point. Yes, it's racist. Sure, change it. It has no place in today's popular culture. The problem I have is all the faux out rage about it. I don't buy that people really care one way or the other about it. There are umpteen things we as a society could do to…
