So a shitty writer gets paid seven figures to single-handedly fuck up a high profile launch of an important website, and then gets hired at Fox Sports for the second time after being hired by ESPN for the second time.

They should have a PTI type show where it’s Cowherd vs Whitlock and each tries to one up each other by saying racist misogynistic things.

Special irony in Suggs spouting "know the rules." That's what Brady said to whiny-ass-baby Harbaugh after last year's playoff game, when the Patriots ran a legal play and caught the whiny-ass-baby Ravens off guard. So of course, the whiny-ass-baby Ravens whined and the NFL made the play illegal.

If you’re going to use a Heyman tweet, it should be this one. Absolute perfection. (I know you linked to it, but it needs to be front. and. center.)

I’m partial to this trio of Magic Johnson gems that basically reads like a guy remembering as many players as he can while he’s taking a shit. Keep in mind this is like the second week of last season.

Is it just me, or do the Texans have a Charlotte Bobcats vibe about them. In the sense that they’ve never really built an identity, their name is sort of corny, and everyone kind of wishes the old franchise was still around instead.

And that is why Gronk is awesome and JJ Watt is an ass hole

Gronk is the meathead who’d call himself a meathead and have fun with it.

J.J. Watt is the living wet dream of every commenter at ProFootballTalk. When our supremely fucked-up football culture looks at itself in the mirror, Watt is what it sees: a big humorless white dolt who presents himself as his own private branch of the U.S. military, who supposedly eats, sleeps, and breathes FOOTBAW…

His Batmobile broke down with engine trouble, and when he got out to inspect the car, it was struck by a Toyota Camry, and then his own car hit him.

Troy Vincent being a moron was a pretty prominent takeaway from the transcript. It wasn’t new information per se, the hearing just highlighted it well.

how did this get out of the grey?

Oh you hate Jews. Hot take, Hitler.

Here’s what Harbaugh told ESPN in January:

Correct me if I’m wrong, but haven’t the Ravens denied saying anything to the Colts about the balls?

A Sullivan taking down a Patriot? This is truly the end of days.

From the timestamps, Grigson’s first email precedes the one from Sean Sullivan.

Nope, this is the first time a player has been made aware of it. They're citing a rule he's never been allowed to see to punish him.

Tom Brady’s appeal has argued the code doesn’t apply to him; indeed, only team owners, presidents, general managers, and head coaches have to sign it. (There’s no reason to believe players even knew it existed until it was used to punish Brady.)

I thought this paragraph from Charlie Pierce yesterday really summed it all up:
