Right, and the only way someone will acquire all of this knowledge is if they attend the right schools and graduate with the appropriate credentials. Like I said, it's a side effect of apprenticeship culture where the connected can easily deny employment to outsiders based on their lack of credentials or access to the…

It's probably a side effect of Spanish apprenticeship culture, which is really just an excuse to deny someone a proper job. I'm sure everyone at the league office has the proper credentials, and connections, to be exercising their power over the membership.

Give Orion a try if you have the chance to.

I'm sure that Peter King deeply regrets Roger Goodell having to watch the video.

We're supposed to read this?

Just Algeria and Egypt. Chad's military is pretty much made up of tribal dudes with assault rifles and RPG's. Sudan is somewhat more sophisticated but the air defenses are limited to triple-A or man-portable Strela rockets. Italy's military is better prepared with coordinated air and anti-air assets, including…

"I prefer Schlitz" said my grandfather.

He's not an objective media member as you so kindly put it. He works for the firm that handles the majority of the NFL's public relations, ESPN.

Theo Epstein was probably shocked to learn that Manny can speak English.

Now y'all know where the whole A-Team phenom came from.

Mark May says Sarkisian isn't a racist and if anyone knows who is a racist and who is not, it's Mark May.

It's kowtow. You don't want to be caught towing cows on public property in Vermont when Obama's spraying chemtrails, do ya huh?

Who are those guys?

For the life of me, I cannot fathom why MLS has not caught on when it's run as a participatory democracy just like the McDonald's franchises.

Boston, hands down and only because they have the opportunity to not be an asshole. Philly people really don't have that choice.

That's $187 in side dishes alone. That's how the steakhouses get you: creamed spinach.

I'm shocked to be reminded that there are still people out there who believe that the franchise-based monopoly known as the NFL is in fact not an business but a real competitive league that respects impartiality, the separation of powers and the rule of law.

Jared Remy wasn't much of a public figure until he went and murdered his girlfriend. Had the Boston Globe been able to sweep that one under the rug, he'd probably still be out there creating mayhem.
