Sharpton was like 12 back then and Jackson was a hanger-on.

I dream of a day when white people will know a black civil rights' leader other than King and X.

Big surprise. Gators really like to get wet.

There's nothing wrong with the NFL putting rule changes into place to penalize dirty play. What's wrong is that they seem to do so hypocritically: the rules are essentially just lip-service, making it seem like they're making a difference, even though they are more than happy to profit off the violence. They want to…

Goodell's rule changes are based solely on the lawsuits against the NFL and not on any real world research.

Players are only allowed to request their team medical reports once maybe twice a year. Often they find what is written in the reports doesn't match up to what they have been told by team trainers and doctors.

Those words from Ray Lewis make sense to me now. There are 3 coherent basic ideas in there. And with everyone's adrenaline and emotions running high before a game, they will understand every single word and feel every single emotion. Not to put down Flacco, but he must not have been into it. He's known for not being…

Deadspin posted the video of that speech under the title "Ray Lewis Is A Better Motivational Speaker Than You." http://deadspin.com/5897335/ray-le…

His statement before the Stanford game reads pretty clearly to me. You may need to check up on your reading comprehension.

You would think that the people (journalists???) working at AP, SI, SF ABC and others who WORK IN THE INDUSTRY would be smart enough or professional enough to see this and look the other way.

It all comes back to FUCKING TEBOW.

Tomorrow on NFL Countdown: Kaepernick might be the greatest of all time, but is he "elite?"

Actually, although Superman is supposed to have a genius level intellect, he rarely displays it. His answer to most problems is punching it in the face. Batman, on the other hand, lives solely by his wits and as a result, Bruce usually upstages Clark by being more clever and thinking several steps ahead.

I've been hit in the face with a baseball and I had a similar reaction.

This conversation has gotten more traction in the NHL than in the NFL with GMs and executives pushing for more study on this, but a line from this article really stuck with me:

Hate A-Rod or not (I hate A-Rod), the fact is that if he did leak the other names, he had every right to. People criticize this guy because he's an inconsiderate douchebag who lives in his own dream world. But there is one thing A-Rod has never done and that is lie about his use of Steroids or his link to…

The histrionic reaction from MLB about PEDs is entirely about the ability for a small group of elite players to extend their careers through PED use. There is little evidence that PEDs do much to improve individual performance in a season, particularly widely amongst all users (including the many pitchers who have…

Kinda reminds me of Jackie Robinson with the ousting of A-Rod.....very sad but true. Now with it's own players fighting against others it sickens me that MLB and Ryan Dempster cannot oversee; at one point a good percentage of players took steroids for the obvious of reasons, even the future HOF Barry Bonds took…
