ESPN sure has been desperate to report on any excessive contact between players.

Via MotherJones (http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/201…) "The problem with this story is that employer sanctions are not in effect for 2014. In other words, the Cubs will not be penalized for not providing their ground crew with insurance this year even if they work more than 30 hours per week. Apparently the Cubs…

Why would the multi-gazillionaire owner of a professional sports franchise want to pay a single dime for loyal employees' health insurance? Especially when laws requiring him to do so were passed under the Dictatorship of the Kenyan Muslim Socialist Commie Pothead who pals around with terrorist and golfs too much.…

Tasers (and pepper spray and a variety of other weapons) were developed as a "less lethal" alternative to lethal force. Law enforcement agencies, many of them, adopted Tasers in the wake of a "tragic incident" in their communities. Police officers (and their trainers) will tell you that if your life is at stake a…

You think that's bad, you should see the incredibly ignorant movie he starred in this year, it stars him as a "staunch militant atheist teacher" who is slowly convinced by his students to stop his deviant ways and believe in Jeeeezus.

Lt. Col. Rhodes was subsequently apprehended by MP's and is presently incarcerated pending a court martial.

I think War Machine misunderstood the concept of how beating his woman would result in an extended stay.

Show me something he doesn't spin.

How many years until this team is in Seattle?

Well I don't think he's been around long enough to be deemed "elite" which is why I wouldn't use that word to describe him. I do think he's great though (or whatever word you want to use to describe the second tier below the top 3).

I'm of the opinion that as time passes, the greatness of Williams' talent will take on a different sort of sheen. The sentiment expressed in the article is an accurate one—we began to take him for granted, and thought every performance of his should be as great as WE expected. As the grief over his death subsides, I…

He's near the top in almost every major and anecdotal metric.

The problem with relying solely on the eye test is that it's vulnerable to confirmation bias. People remember Peyton struggling in a few playoff games early in his career and form a narrative that he can't play well in the playoffs, so his bad games later in his career are more easily remembered than his good games.…

He has 15-20 incredibly important movies on his resume, was one of the biggest stand ups of his generation and was a 4 time oscar nominee and winner. He's been a genius.

This. I saw a picture on Imgur today of him on a bicycle. The top comment was, "his legs are so strong from carrying all of his movies."

To blame one actor for how bad a whole movie turned out is easy to say and wrong. There are a multitude of reasons on why a movie is crap and unless that one actor wrote,produced,directed and starred in that film,one can't personally put all of the blame on that one actor if the film is a dud. I personally think…

Awakenings. His role in that deserves more love.

People who want to hear THE greatest Robin Williams interview should check out Marc Maron's WTF podcast. This was the first serious interview I've ever heard with him and I learned a lot of his beginnings from childhood to standup to a movie star. This was no late night show jokey joke interview either,this was a very…

Serious question: How many of you would watch the shit out of an HBO drama series that's based on the last few years of the territory days/the beginning of Vince's rise to prominence where the main character was a fictional amalgam of Bret Hart but with Kevin Von Erich's tragic family?
