Meh. As a Louisville fan, this wasn’t a total shock. Virginia has given the Cards trouble the last few years. Last year Louisville only won by 7 and the year before Virginia beat a ranked Louisville. Not sure why but these two teams just seem to play close the last few years.

Thought the same. Was hoping for a dose of adorable humanity. Instead got a dose of non-adorable reality

As a Yankee fan I saw this just the very few times with Miller when he wasn’t being dominant. He’d lose the strike zone for a 2-3 batters and look very much in trouble only to instantly find it and start K’ing guys right and left with seemingly no rhyme or reason why it got away in the first place or suddenly came…

I know it’s only one game, but my feeling last night was that this series reminded me in some ways of 2009.

The Phillies had a dominant Cliff Lee who the Yankees couldn’t touch and the fear (being a Yankees fan) was that he was going to pitch Games 1, 4, 7 and the Yanks would have had to win every other game.…

I just don’t get how we’re still doing this especially when the Block C “primary” Cleveland logo is actually pretty cool itself and you know...not racist. It’s got a cool retro/classic look to it, is simple, clean and looks good no matter which color choices you go with (red on blue, red on white, blue on red)

Chief…

I disagree with the fact that sports leagues should have no say in punishment. All companies have some say in punishment to a degree. A company can fire an employee for failing a drug test even if the employee had never been high at work...they just need the drugs in the system at the time of the test. 

Actually the EC and Senate are not the problems and I see the point of having them.

The EC weights heavily in favor of densely populated states as it should but doesn’t completely shut out states that have very little population and I think that matters. I can understand someone living in Wyoming feeling hesitant that…

You’re missing the point here WE didn’t want the NFL to do anything until Goodell and the NFL made this their mantra years ago when Goodell took over. Goodell made his bed of shit and lie he can fucking lie in it each time he blows up in his face.

Don’t give this “we want the NFL...” nonsense. This has not now nor ever…

Maybe this question has been asked and answered elsewhere (I admit I’m only now paying more attention to these type stories) but if an automated car were to ding my car who gets the insurance bill? The owner of the automated car or the manufacturer that had the error?

That may be true, but the problem is Goodell has hung his hat on being judge, jury, and executioner. He opened Pandora’s Box on this and now he can deal with the consequences of his choices to go down these roads.

I’m disgusted to be a Giants fan today. For every ounce of venom coming Brown’s way...and he deserves all he gets...the same should be given to John Mara, Jerry Reece, and the NFL.

How many times are we going to buy this nonsense the NFL keeps feeding us about “doing their due diligence” when investigating a domestic…

Sorry Hannah, but you’re incorrect that the NCAA in their findings that they believe Pitino WOULD have known. What they said is that he should have done a better job managing his program.

I know it sounds like hair splitting, but it actually means a world of difference. If it was the former, Louisville would have been…

I said it in another post, but will say it again here: As a Yankee fan I wish nothing but great things for Andrew Miller. He was great for us and when he was “demoted” from the closer’s role in favor of Aroldis Chapman to start the year Miller took the change with grace when he had every right to complain.

I hope the…

I second your beef with the Save stat. It’s probably too late for it, but I would love to see the Save stat changed from being an end of game stat to one where the official scorer could grant the save based on scenario similar to how the scorer can grant the win to any reliever he/she feels deserved it if a starter is…

As a Yankee fan I want to see nothing but great things for Andrew Miller. Not only was the guy other-worldly for us and helped us get a nice haul in trading him, but the way he handled being “demoted” from the closer’s role by the Yankees to start the year was so selfless. After posting a great 2015, the Yankees…

I came here to say Dwayne Johnson because his years taking actual bumps in a ring (scripted or not there’s something to be said for the bad-assery of being a wrestler)

But when it comes to all-time movie badasses the list is:
1) Audie Murphy
2) Audie Murphy
3) Audie Murphy
4) Everyone else

This idea is nonsense. The infield fly is needed to stop the defense from purposely dropping easy pop flies to turn double and triple plays. You have to protect the offense in that situation because the runners are at a complete disadvantage otherwise since they have to remain on a base until a ball is caught.

The problem is starting these games at 8 instead of 7 like what’s done during the regular season. I understand trying to hold out for the West Coast audience, but when I lived in Los Angeles you got in your car at 5pm and sat in well over an hour of traffic to get anywhere so it wasn’t like anyone was jumping right to…

Actually what you described there was a guaranteed contract more along the lines of MLB/NBA

An NFL Contract wouldn’t have a clause 3 because a team can let go of a player in Year 2 and not have to pay out the million a year for years 2-5. They pay for time worked (year 1 and up until they terminate the deal in year 2)…

I understand the ex-Gawker Thiel hate, but for every ounce of hate they have for him, they should hold as much contempt for AJ Daulerio who acted like a petulant child during the case and walked right into Thiel’s plan by portraying himself as the exact kind of disgusting tabloid reporter people seem to hate. If he…
