You know that Vegas is about 10% LDS, right? Also, the city was founded in the early 1850s as a way station between the two relatively prosperous Mormon colonies of San Bernardino and St. George, but both Las Vegas and San Bernardino were abandoned in advance of the 1857 Utah War. Vegas remained as a watering hole and…

I kinda feel like ordering two minors to assault someone should come to more than a fine and probation, but I guess that’s what a plea bargain gets you.

Just for the record, the Bills lead the league in total flags and penalty yardage. In an average game, they get flagged over 11 times and spot their opponent the equivalent of a 85-yard drive.

But if it comes at the expense of the school at large — and it does, because so few programs make money every year — does giving your family a vacation as part of a bowl game bonanza on which it will likely lose even more money really align with the mission of the university?

That fridge really tied the room together.

How many public figures from the world of sports do you know who can prompt this kind of discussion? If Curt fucking Schilling can attract attention and debate with his inane Twitter bullshit, why not Kareem?

Actually, colleges fail at teaching ANY student financial literacy.

Oh like anybody is at a Marlins game to begin with.

The NHL went through this 15 years ago when that young girl in Columbus was killed by an errant shot off Espen Knutsen’s stick. People bitched about the nets until they were installed and then...everyone got used to it and no one cares.

This is a good step forward, but how are they going to install safety netting in the Dodgers parking lot?

Isn’t it shitty when you get to the age where you pull a muscle and everyone’s like “What happened?” “I coughed.”?

Being old is horrible.

It is generally agreed that the ethos of keeping salary information secret in any business is primarily for the benefit of the employers to the detriment if the employees.

July 31, 2011: Announced he had been diagnosed with Boarderline Personality Disorder, and has been undergoing treatment to understand and manage his condition ever since.

I can’t blame the officials for that one. In the “heat of the moment” I can see how one would call that a facemask.

It’s more than “slightly dubious.” However...from the ref’s angle, in real-time with what he could see, I see why he made the call.

Except at that point in the play he’s a runner not a Passer.

I don’t know if I agree on that. If the players were reversed, would you have called offensive pass interference? Both players were turned to the ball, both have a right to it, and the Lions guy had position. I’m fine with the no call (and didn’t really care who won).

Maybe it’s because I had too many beers during the Lions game and then listened to Ray Charles’ “That Spirit of Christmas” ten times in a row, but this clip has me tearing up like a tardy little girl left standing at a bus stop. I’m glad Sager is back where he’s supposed to be. Bravo Pop, bravo Deadspin.

The ticky-tackiest of calls but I could see why it was called in real time, with the contact and the helmet turning. It was an unfavorable call but not a phantom one.
