Targeting is a bad rule, but by the letter of the law, that was targeting. Overall, Tennessee had way more things go in their favor than not. That was a dreadful performance.

Quick answer: fuck yes.

Marine here again. I can’t stand how conflated “the flag” has become with “the military.” I also can’t stand the knee-jerk “patriots” whose default position toward the military is genuflection, and anyone who fails to bend the knee is shunned. These are not the hallmarks of a free society.

Any sketch with Keenan Thompson can’t be very good.

I get that owners love that the money is flowing, but is it even possible to fuck up the revenue stream that is the NFL today? Bettman could make m money with football.

I’m not Deadspin, but: Schefter was fine to tweet the information, but not the source or the picture. He’s a reporter, and the matter was of genuine public interest, and inevitably going to be revealed anyway. I might personally not care for it because I think Pierre-Paul deserved some privacy at the time and because…

What the HELL was he thinking playing with fireworks like he had nothing to lose!?

HEADS UP, SPINNERS: as what I can only assume is a huge fluke caused by the great kinja-ing of summer 2016, I have just been followed by almost all of the Deadspin properties. I am entirely ignorant in matters of sports ball and my opinions should be immediately dismissed. You have been warned.

Fact is we’re all expendable and replaceable.

I think that’s valid and understand why he would be hesitant to take such an offer. I don’t know what the precedent is. Do other teams give their rookies this offset language? Regardless, I find it hard to believe that the hit he’s going to take in the draft for failed negotiations and being out of football for a year…

I don’t know - to me it seems stupid for a kid to be fighting over what he’s going to get paid AFTER he has already made many millions of dollars, while jeopardizing his ability to make all that money in the first place. No way a guy who hasn’t played football in 1.5 years and may be painful in contract negotiations…

Joey Bosa is a walking Barstool Sports Instagram post who is being micromanaged by his mother. I know nothing about NFL contracts, but I’m gonna side with the NFL franchise on this one.

A hundred years ago an angry Austrian man didn’t get into art school and we got Hitler. Eighteen years ago an angry Austrian man got puked on. Dan, you’ve fucked us all.

Dan probably has an Inigo Montoya-esque revenge plot against him and this email gave the motorcyclist another clue to tracking him down.

Oh, I see how it is. This guy can walk up to a kid on the mound and tell him “I love you” but when I do it at my local ball field, the cops are called. SMDH.

Looking forward to your son not being able to find the plate with a curve ball?

But only if it is genuine.

Speaking of Chris Berman, is anyone surprised that they eviscerated his entire team yet he stubbornly plods along?

Her used singlet can now be bought from a vending machine.

He’s lucky he didn’t get a folding chair to the head.
