Apparently it was beyond smelling the smoke and more like chewing it.

NFL players weren’t even on the field for the National Anthem until 2009.  Maybe we should get back to that and let the crowd decide for themselves what they feel about patriotism.

Coxsackie virus. It almost sounds like what it looks like.

Actually, having a say in the operations of the Packers is the only thing you get for having a share. You get to vote for the board of directors selection.

There’s a big difference between random trivia to show off that you have a stats department and actual advanced analytics.

One of my favorite parts about sports media is the obsession with stats, especially if they’re not meaningful.

NFL ownership is a close as you can get to a representative sample of the billionaire class.  They’re not outliers.

31 dumb owners and 1 group of probably dumb shareholders.

Rich people actually buy horse farms to make money?  Being neither wealthy nor a Horse Person I thought horse farms were just to show that you have money to burn.

There are an awful lot of mediocre men who hate the thought of doubling their competition.

Everybody knows Fairfax County is the grittier rough-and-tumble county in Northern Virginia.  Heck, it’s only the second wealthiest county in the nation.

WNBA offensive efficiency is not especially lower than NBA offensive efficiency. As others have pointed out, WNBA games have lower tempo (longer shot clock) and are shorter in duration (40 minutes vs 48 for NBA), though I think the smaller half court offense (closer three point line) might make for more traffic for…

Really it’s at least one in every thread, so I figure the other 50 million or so are a rounding error. Plus it’s fun being the only country that can sing STAND UP IF YOU WON THE WAR back to them.
