I ran the 800 in high school as well, 20 years ago, and reading this article made my palms sweat and my heart pound, same reaction I had before a race back then.

You can't win having kids (pulls out)

I'd pay $10 to know how many billable hours for NFL/49er team attorneys went into editing the 49ers official statement.

This is an easy case for him to prove. Everybody ends up sick and dizzy after visiting McDonald's.

And how does everyone else except him see that?

Simmons is the expert at taking a decent point — players value other players differently than fans and the media, and that value sometimes has merit — and muddling the ever living fuck out of it with his self-promotion. He did it with his Donald Sterling story, too.

The NCAA then sanctioned Ohio State for providing its players with a non-hostile work environment that only school employees should enjoy.

I WANT THAT

Which nicely summarizes the Knicks' free agent spending philosophy, as it were.

I have a feeling Portlanders don't mind at all when Bostonians ignore the ridiculously short trip up there in the summer in favor of more crowded and way less cool destinations like the Cape.

Absolutely, they've been better. No question. And the Cavs are sitting at third in Hollinger's power rankings. So maybe they're prime candidates to buck the trend, especially since they're coming out of the crap East.

Moreover, the MLB Players Association, acting on Hamilton's behalf, would appeal any penalty it deems to be too harsh.

LeBron is great, but my skepticism over the Cavs' status as championship contenders stems from their defense. Every NBA champion in the last ten years has been in the top ten in the league in defensive efficiency, with most of those in the top five, save for the 2006 Miami Heat who were 17th and an extreme outlier.…

I spat Coke Zero through my nose at this.

To me this is more about irrational than cowardly behavior. Americans in general are fucking terrible at putting the risk of terrorism into proper context. They will happily swerve across three lanes of traffic on the highway without checking their blind spots or using their blinker, but the minute anyone says…

This doesn't make a lot of sense. Gibson (manager) and Tower (GM) were around last year and would have been the ones enforcing this brainless diet. But Miley got traded after those two morons got shitcanned — it's hard for me to believe that Tony LaRussa would perpetuate this sort of dumbass grudge started by a couple…

His unwritten presumption that the game is all cleaned up now is just precious.

I think Milk and Honey Original Cafe Mix should come ahead of the Ed.D.

This deserves so many more stars.
