I just want to thank Deadspin and Jezebel for giving this the frontline attention it needs and deserves. Other outlets are giving it so little attention relative to its importance it is very disheartening.  I listen to the radio in the morning on the way to work and you would have little idea this was happening if…

Mom?

Ditto. For me it was the penalties/rule enforcements. Not the ones related to safety, I am 100% behind those, but when it takes 10 minutes to say a catch wasn’t a catch or TD doesn’t count because “Rule Section AAAA subsection 8 clause 17 wasn’t fully completed before Rule Section BCEF subsection 127...” I just don’t…

Everything you say here is right, of course, but I really am having a hard time feeling bad for Vontaze Burfict. He is SUCH a piece of shit, and he instigates so much. Look, if I spit at someone’s face in a bar, and then I get punched the fuck out, am I at fault? This isn’t “oh she was dressing provocatively she…

I met Bill Wirtz several times in the mid 1990's and he was as nice a guy as you would want to meet. Friendly, generous, and intelligent. At least, he was until you brought up two topics:

I have no rooting interest in either team and that penalty still angers me. It was just the perfect play broken out at the perfect time and the Bears deserved to score off it.

Scumbag? I don’t think that is fair. He declined an award because he disagrees with the entity supplying it, as is his right.

Out of all that, this is what I would like to focus on:

This is a bad take. As a millennial, we like football just as much as other people. But a lot of people of my generation (luckily not including myself) can’t afford cable and don’t bother with OTA antennas to watch on an actual TV.

Reminds me of my favorite saying: “I can’t wait for his generation to fucking die.”

kudos on the cups and them brats, but man, that’s a rough 29.

I would seriously bet that Wasserman (either Guy or Company) has some form of stake in The Ringer/Bill Simmons’s media network. It’s probably small, but Simmons, basically since early Grantland, has been a total starfucker. It’s really easy to be “the outsider” until you realize that you gotta play the game to get…

Goddamn, you’re an asshole.

I got an idea. Why not wait and watch the show to see how it is?

He was wearing a Cubs hat.

Avi is an all-star and having one of the best offensive seasons in the AL. Hell of a cast-off

This is the same injury Victor Cruz had. I just hope this is only a season-ender and doesn’t wreck his career.

Yeah, the TD:INT ratio has got to be the NFL version of MLB’s W-L pitching record. It tells you so little about what’s going on that it serves no purpose.

I mean, Jordan gambles on the steal and gets beat. I don’t think that’s really predictive of anything.

Iverson was probably the fastest player EVER in the NBA. Curry does not have similar speed. That said, there is no way that Jordan would be guarding Curry.
