I really hope journalists don’t abide by this.

As the original post stated, the nomination doesn’t automatically go to the running mate so it wouldn’t automatically be Pence. In fact, IF the Trump dropping out scenario happens I would reason to say there is VERY little chance the Republicans would chose Pence to fill the role. They would probably want to wash…

I’m with you on this one. I’m not sold it’s this guy yet. If the blurry images from the story yesterday (linked in the above story) are correct the beer can came from the dude’s left which means 2 things:

He’d have to have moved hyper fast after throwing the can to get back to his seat in between a lot of people…

I actually wondered this with VP candidates the last few times around. Growing up it seemed like parties picked VPs with the sole purpose of using them as a successor. It seemed a foregone conclusion the sitting VP would run for President once the latter’s term was done, but that all seemed to change with G W Bush…

I hit publish too quickly on my last message...I meant Louisville will be favored and IF they beat Houston (which is a big if) it will be tough to know a deserving team was left out (assuming all else goes according to script...another big IF) when in an 8-game scenario they’d be in

I wasn’t overlooking Houston at all, but Louisville is currently the projected favorite in that matchup and if all goes as most believe it will leading into that game that’s how it will remain. That doesn’t mean they’ll win and it should be another great game. My comment was strictly that both Clemson and Louisville…

This game is proof that we need an 8 team playoff. Assuming neither team loses the rest of the way (both teams will be favored from here on out) they both would be in an 8 team playoff. For Louisville to basically be eliminated from almost any chance of the Championship by losing to last year’s runner up and most…

Came here to ask the same question. I know the NCAA is garbage in a lot of ways, but Art Briles’s name will be coming up for coaching vacancies and may even get a job next year. At the very least the NCAA needs to attach a show cause penalty to him to stop that from happening.

I know I’m probably in the minority, but I’d like to see the backstop net extend to at least the far end of the dugouts. I won’t sit down a baseline with how fast some of the foul balls come flying off bats. I know that this wasn’t one of those instances, but still a reminder you have very little reflex time. Luckily…

I got “apartheid” for the Norman article directly from the link in istari’s comment. The article makes the case South African law and Australian law then were quite similar. You may not agree and that’s fine, but read the article and take it up with that article’s author

Yes I remember reading that article on Peter Norman and you do make a solid point on that front, but I feel some of the stars I mentioned won’t get the same treatment because we don’t have the same apartheid issues as Australia did then and each of these athletes are higher profile themselves and participate in higher…

I agree with you to a point, but I still think you’re welcome to jump down their throats. A number of white female athletes have already made the move on their own to support this movement both with and without their black counterparts. If they can do it and not co-opt the movement white male athletes can too.

And…

Here’s how police respond to this:

“Black man said ‘weapons’ I’m now frightened and in danger for my life”

Wow, Trent Dilfer looks a lot different in that article

While I wanted the Viking to beat the Packers, as a Bridgewater fan from his Louisville days I don’t want to see Bradford do too well or Teddy might be carrying a clipboard from now on

I loved the moves the Yanks did at the trade deadline and think the team is back on the rise quicker than most of us Yankee fans could have imagined. I also have enjoyed watching this young team stick around the playoff races so late in the season. But the one drawback to all of this is Girardi has just overworked…

Based on the main image I quickly read the headline as “...Hair and Lateral Victory.”

A few heads with flowing locks on the CMU team there

What seems to make the targeting rule so tough to call or not call is what referees may see as intent (or lack thereof) to “target.” Yes, the receiver got hit in the head and for some that might be more than enough, but a case can be reasonably made that the head wasn’t “targeted.” The DB does look like he got a…

I posted this as a reply to a reply below, but I wanted to make it it’s own post because I have a lot of questions I’d like to hear opinions on why any of this matters so much:

I wish I could star this more than once. So very well said.

Listening to all the criticism the past couple days over this is completely ridiculous. One of the first things I thought of was a point you brought up. I lived in Baltimore for a few years and everyone there yells “Ohhh!” during the Anthem and no one cares.

Al…
