Poor Nick Foles. First he gets demoted to 2nd string quarterback. Soon enough, he’ll be only the second most famous dong-haver in the locker room. 

Serious question. Why is it worthwhile for Real Madrid or Barcelona to every year spend to pursue the big trophies, but the same doesn’t always apply to the Red Sox and Yankees? Seems like a similar situation, if La Liga = AL, and UCL = MLB. These are two of the biggest teams in all of futbol/baseball; two of the

Was he scouting a baseball game or a dog show?

...well what did the survey say?

Bro, if you got sonar pinged you wouldn’t have eardrums left. Or a brain, probably.

This is literally exactly what happened. I don’t know how both you and Seth Wickersham were in the same room when this conversation went down but ended up with two different stories.

Yeah, but if they pay up to keep the team in town, that means the city owns the team. No more moving, the city can’t possibly screw itself on a stadium deal (counterpoint: it probably can). Now, I know that municipal government is rivaled only by the federal government for their track record of f**king things up, but

1. Any combination of KD, Steph and Draymond

Behold, the Once and Future Browns. Futility and pain that were and are and are to be, NFL without end, Amen.

“It hasn’t gotten any better this year with Luck out, and a more mobile Jacoby Brissett taking the majority of snaps...”

BUILD THAT WALL! And keep all the Jets out.

In 15 full seasons since 2001 (not counting 2008 or 2017), Brady was sacked 417 times, or 27.8 times per season. In those same years, there were 17507 total sacks, or 36.0 per team per season. So, yes, Brady has taken about 9 sacks a season less than your average schlub.

If they lost a block at the top of the mast, or if some of the rigging on the mainsail snapped, then they would have to climb to the top of the mast to re-rig it. That isn’t the easiest thing to do under normal circumstances, much less on a boat at sea rolling back and forth. Now imagine that if you fell you either a.

I had to stop reading after two paragraphs of self-flagellation. I couldn’t even make it to the football picks because I kept seeing pieces of skin go flying off your back like this was Passion of the Christ or something.

I think the point that the Athletic is trying to make is that there simply isn’t enough free content left any more. It used to be (In the golden days of 2012) I could get all the NFL post-analysis that I ever wanted for free on the internet. The death of Grantland really changed that; Barnwell’s columns seem lifeless

Your city is one of the few in the country that is trying different things with its public transportation, so you probably shouldn’t be trashing its efforts in front of the world on random internet comments.

It is apparently a problem found often in humanity. Business, government, churches: out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.

The problem is Quantico and the Potomac. Betweem the big Marine Corps base with no roads through it, and a very wide river with no bridges for 40 miles downriver of Alexandria, I-95 has to carry ALL the traffic into and out of DC and its suburbs for anyone in the Fredericksburg area.

I’m confused by some of the terminology here. How does Genesis have a CEO? Isn’t it a division of Hyundai? That pictured car sure looks like a Hyundai.
