The problem is that pain is entirely subjective and impossible to accurately or replicably quantify. Different people may perceive and respond to identical stimuli in very different ways. Pain is entirelya perception. Just as people will perceive humor or beauty in different ways, they will do the same for pain. Add…

That’s precisely when you say “the city’s football history” instead of “franchise history.”

“...accused of hacked into” isn’t much better. But it’s understandable that these sorts of mistakes will happen when there’s so much pressure to be the first to publish a story or you have to meet a tight deadline so they can get to the printing presses.

If you’ve fielded a few hundred thousand fly balls in your life, losing track of it for the last half a second doesn’t affect you as much as you might think as a bystander. If you lose the ball in the sun, try to catch the sun. Most outfielders stop watching the ball and start looking for their throw before they catch…

If he's the franchise's second best quarterback, I'm assuming that Peyton Manning and Johnny Unitas are both the first?

Of course, in the weeks leading up to this you need to set the existing quarterback up as the heel. Have him overthrow receivers and demonstrably blame them; throw an interception and not make any attempt to make the tackle; talk about how he wished he’d been drafted to City X, where at least the fans understand…

I’m envisioning starting lineups being announced, and right as they get to the starting quarterback, the music and stadium lighting cut out, the videoboard flickers then comes through in static, and his goofy grin fills the screen. Then the video cuts to ”live” in the locker room, the practice field, finally the…

They can force you to attend, but they can’t make you learn. Stick it to 'em, kids!

Everyone knows these games don’t matter except for the last five roster spots anyway, and those players will probably be cut during the season before they play a meaningful down anyway. Why are we still pretending?

Kind of rude for you not to consider NWSL and WNBA sports.

This is what you get when you have the same executives, same graphic designers, same focus groups putting together the full palette. It’s bland, it’s boring, it’s derivative. There’s no personality because it’s just corporate business as usual. 

Yes, quite unfavorably. If you’d like to compare him to someone else on a max contract who puts in work without acting petulant I’m fine with that too.

But he doesn’t have a supermax contract and hasn’t done anything to make him eligible for one. You think Russell Westbrook bitches about a soft double in a workout?

Same with Vontaze Burfict. “So this guy tried to literally kill three of our other members just last week, and now I have to file an appeal to try to save 0.04% of his annual salary? Again?”

Sounds like the guest could be a better guest and the host could be a better host, but these deficiencies are on different levels of magnitude. Why are your guests so desperate for food and drink that they’re foraging? More notably, what's the matter with that guest that he thinks that's acceptable behavior under any…

That’s a different definition of protect. It protects in terms of “defend,” not “safeguard.” They protect their likenesses, their rights, their compensation, etc. The PA defends its members’ interests and causes against the owners and external forces. And the PA’s allegiance obviously leans toward its current members,…

The NFLPA represents and protects its members, not necessarily their best interests.  

This guy will never be able to joke with his friends about how he was mistaken for Markelle Fultz, because every time he does his girlfriend is going to be pissed she was mistaken for his mom. 

Certain batches seem to have a very metallic taste at the top of the bottle that usually goes away after a few sips, but the beer itself is still more bitter. It makes me wonder if it’s more of a bottling problem than a brewing issue.

“See? I told you.”
