Usually when the gap is that small, the team and player will agree to split right down the middle. It seems likely that the reason this didn’t go to arbitration is that the Braves refused to go a penny above their offer.

It’s why our President needs his briefings to mention his name every couple of minutes.

Yes, but they can probably get something good in return for Foles right now, before everyone remembers he’s Nick Foles.

The best part of Superman is when he sees Lois on top of the building, and runs off to change into Superman, comes to a phone booth in an open design, looks up and down at it, and runs off to find something else.

What if they look like Common and sound like Kelsey Grammer?

I had just realized that if this was the NCAA, that would have negated the TD and ended the game.

The insanity is that the Yankees offered a better package just by offering Frazier. But the Pirates apparently wanted quantity over quality, and would have preferred the Yankees’ 8-12 prospects over any of their players with star potential

Everybody needs to decide for themselves whether they want to forgive him. But I think there is a great value in acknowledging the earnestness of the apology, and that he did it the right way - acknowledging not just that he did these things, but the ways he lied to himself to avoid thinking he was doing something…

He’s also not proposing he get a medal. I don’t think he apologized to get absolution, or kudos, but because a public admission that he did this terrible thing to her, and that it was 100% his fault, is something that was necessary, at the bare minimum, for him to do for HER.

I think it’s fair for there to be a follow-up. Dan apologized on his podcast this weekend, and Megan not only accepted his apology, but called it out for being a “masterclass” on how to apologize for this.

Dan’s not a hero for apologizing, but most men should listen to what he said.

You could always do this:

“Why should the men feel bad about it?”

SWIM OUT THE DAMN WINDOW CHARLIE

Okay, but it wasn’t purgatory. The island was real life. The flash sideways/purgatory happened after they died years later (in Hurley’s case, possibly hundreds of years later)

I mean, you don’t have to watch any of those games.

After the conference championship games, you’ve got 3 open weeks until the semifinals. If you have 4 undefeated teams on the outside (which is almost impossible to imagine), you have them play each other the week after conference championships, the winners play the next week, then the winner of that play the #4 team…

Or, you know, the only undefeated team in the country plays Alabama a week before the playoff semifinal with the winner playing Clemson. But you do you, making strawman arguments.

I’m not here to argue that UCF was the best team in college football this year. Not only is that probably not true, but I don’t know enough about college football to make that kind of claim.

But it should be settled on the field. When there are undefeated teams remaining not in the top 3 playoff teams at the end of the…

I honestly don’t think it was a forward pass, but if they’d gotten a better offensive performance it wouldn’t have come down to a failed kickoff defense.
