I think this is a really interesting take and I’m also interested to see what happens because football has done a poor job preparing for a future the way the other leagues have.

Basketball continues to grow and has spread so globally that it and football will eventually pass each other going in opposite directions in…

Players won’t talk as it may further implicate themselves. If any of this is true and Nunez was smart enough to keep them, there should be phone/e-mail records or some sort of money paper trail.

What the players should look at is a sliding scale floor (not a hard salary floor similar to what many people have suggested elsewhere) similar to the luxury tax for the high end.

I know everyone likes to list all the reasons why the hot stove has remained ice cold this year, from overpaying older/flawed players to the luxury tax, to the 2019 Free Agent class. but I think it really comes down to one overarching question:

Is tanking good for sports or not?

Even if the top 4 or 5 free agents…

Didn’t Ram run the ad with Paul Harvey’s “So God Created A Farmer” speech last year that went over pretty poorly too?

In some cases you’re not far off. Had a relative who worked for Geico a few years back who said the Geico Gecko idea came from an Ad Exec who got drunk at a party and talked about how he thought it was funny how the two words sounded so much alike. Not long after the Gecko started appearing on their commercials

I said this earlier in another comment but it’s the players who don’t want and will never ask for a salary floor. They rightly believe that a salary floor would lead directly to a true salary cap

Yes, the situation as it stands now is not a good one for the players overall and is going to hit a point where things need to be tweaked. However, it might be prudent to see what happens as the 2019 free agent class shakes out. Will we see a repeat of this year or will teams go back to committing bigger dollars and…

Actually they shouldn’t want it for the exact reason they don’t want it. It’s incredibly smart for the players of an uncapped league to not want a salary floor because the owners will turn right around and want a cap. A salary ONLY makes sense when a salary cap is in place first because if you’re going to cap a…

Actually it’s the players who don’t want a salary floor as they believe that if they demand that, it’s the first step to the owners demanding a hard salary cap. The salary floor is something that seems to come up in conversation among fans and reporters each time negotiations come up, but it’s the players that don’t…

Yeah, I don’t get the big problem with people checking in during sex. No one has to make a big show out of it or do a step-by-step “Can I kiss/touch you here?” type thing.

A quick and simple “you good?” or “you ok?” at points here and there is all it takes. I’ve never once been told that my asking those type questions…

It’s interesting you mention Bayley, because I think a lot of the little vignettes they’ve done for the MMC have helped her the most in recapturing the cuteness...for lack of a better word...of her character that WWE has blown since she’s come up from NXT. Whether it was trying to get Finn Balor to notice her when…

Yes it’s true that other cities have just as bad if not worse traffic in terms of sheer volume (prior to Austin I lived in Los Angeles and that’s still the worst I’ve ever seen)

What makes Austin’s traffic it’s own special kind of stupid hell though is that the city is built north/south and only has 2 main ways to…

As long time Austin resident, yes to this completely. Here are some Austin tips:

- Our traffic is terrible, the roads can’t keep up with the mass influxes of people, and we have no public transportation
- Many of our “cool” small music an theatre venues are closing or being displaced because it’s either now too…

Watching reruns of the Dick Van Dyke show growing up there always seemed to be a lot said about how progressive Mary Tyler Moore’s character was on the show (i.e. her getting to wear Capris on the show which and how the show made her character always equal to that of Van Dyke’s.) But Rose Marie’s character never…

The politicizing in the WWE actually started back in the 90s. It wasn’t as blatant as what was done in the 2000s, but if you go back and watch mid/late 90s PPVs the announcers make a number of digs at Bill Clinton. Usually it stemmed from him being from Arkansas and having a connection to the Godwins, but periodically…

I’m way late to this party as this article came out a week ago, but wanted to throw in my two cents anyway.

I know how you feel when you said it bothered you that your date never asked you questions. It’s frustrating and makes the date feel like so much work when you’re the one who always has to steer the conversation.…

I understand both sides in this argument. I completely understand why LeBatard and other Miami fans are furious. They were duped by Jeffery Loria on a number of occasions and especially so after he got his new stadium. They finally get new ownership only to see the team get dismantled again.

However, I do see new…

I’m a little shaky on my Rule 5 rules. I know if a team doesn’t keep a Rule 5 pick on the roster all season they have to offer him back to the original team. How does this work because of the trade? If Texas doesn’t keep Tocci on the roster would be be returned to White Sox or the Phillies? Or does the trade portion…

While reasons A and B that Bobby gave in this post are probably absolutely true to some extent, but there is also reason C which doesn’t have to do with the hosts:

Reason C: People tune in to a controversy and then don’t leave
