He's dead wrong about one thing:

Fine, "bear hug" wasn't a perfect description of the actual motion. No person in history has come up with the perfect phrasing to describe what they meant every single time. I agree that it's pretty clear—"it" being Brooks's intended meaning, i.e., that it was purely an arm tackle, and his arm hit Brees on the chest…

As a saints fan, it was a good call. But as a football fan, that call sucks in general.

after spending the night at the Jagr house his mom would make the girls breakfast and then drive them home.

Shoulder injury, huh? He obviously didn't stick the landing.

I've often wondered why we don't see more guys get tackled by the hair, given how common long hair or hair extensions have become in the NFL. The only logical reason I could think of is that a lot of the guys with long hair play either on defense or the offensive line, and therefore only end up carrying the ball once…

It's not you, it's me. I'm looking for something lasting.

In Beaumont, the former assistant teacher's legal defense is sure to hinge on what his favorite team is (e.g. if it's Washington, he's going away).

"You're damn right Mexico gets in! And we get into them!" [*cannonballs into a swimming pool full of €100 bills*]

No team deserves to win when their last-minute set piece defending consists of everybody ball-watching — except one guy who fails to even foul the opposing keeper effectively enough to prevent him hitting a bicycle kick. If you're gonna blatantly grab his jersey, at least keep him from getting to the ball. That way…

That train has long since left the station, and arrived in the dictionary. Language has always been mutable. IMO, best to reserve indignation for more deserving targets.

So would your media criticism include Jay Glazer and Fox Sports? You say "Incognito's camp"; seems that Glazer would have to be part of that camp, and Fox Sports promoted that interview heavily and has put their journalistic imprimatur on that. Is it that you feel media outlets should be giving equal time to both…

We'll see if Clay can go real old school NFL with that thing, like Art Donovan (RIP) says Bill Pellington used to do: [should start at 5:30]

If memory serves... yeah, pretty much.

Even if that made his use of the racial slur OK — which it doesn't — there's still the eensy weensy little question of threatening to harm Martin's family. Even notorious asshole Warren Sapp has said in his comments on this situation that certain topics were always off limits in locker room razzing, and these included…

??? The Bernie Fine saga? So are you saying Bernie Fine was definitely 100% innocent of everything (although his wife was recorded telling one of the accusers she knew about his transgressions) but ESPN got him hung out to dry? And Richie Incognito is the Bernie Fine in this scenario? Even beyond those non-matching…

Takes him 9 or 10 repetitions to actually say two things. Which made me a little nostalgic, because he emcees the same way he took 12-foot jumpers during warmups. Never change, D-Rod!

World's highest flying pushup, huh? I once ate a hash brownie during a transcontinental flight and then eked out 5 push-ups while waiting for the john to be unoccupied. Trump that, crossfit guy.

The Bosh baby's got style, but polar bears invented chillaxin'.
