Has deadspin ever done an article on the craptastic management of the AFL? Apparently they shoot themselves in the feet constantly, and could be rolling in relatively good dough like the baseball minor leagues (well, ownership would) if they just were sensible.

Uh, they blew them out in the beginning of the year...

Why is the WNBA doing a national draft?
They CLEARLY need regional collegiate stars to stay, you know, IN THE REGION.
Then the fans will follow.
Network effects people!

I don’t know if you remember the election, but everyone said that Trump would be a disaster for the Republican party and end them...

And now they own all of the federal government.

Republicans have no idea what will happen, what is bad for their power, what is good for it... they just know they’ll hold on to it while…

Which is why the last two wars have gone SO WELL!

How about a massive solar-powered passive AI drone torpedo fleet?

Think China could crank those out enough for full theater denial?

If we can’t stop fastboats, we can’t stop smaller, faster, and deadlier...

Right way, wrong way, Navy way.

Denialism is pretty strong in the Navy.

A lot of relatively cheap missiles can sink an entire carrier group for a very economically advantageous exchange.

With 1980s technology.

Are they just practicing them fully rested, or making them do some line sprints between sets of free throws to simulate game fatigue?

Really? Doesn’t seem that hard to figure out. The Bulls have way better star players, who despite differences have beefs with the Celtics and are on primetime for every game.

So the Bulls decide to play well, and the Celtics don’t have another gear.

actually marathons are some of the worst offenders of the great race entry inflation.

Notice in the above article the race director says “a couple bucks a racer here, a couple bucks a racer there”... and probably gets to 20 bucks a racer. Double it to 40 for a marathon (the number of runners should make up for it)...

Bo…

Bad things happen at Walmart. I’m not saying he deserved it, but taking your precious car to the church of stupidity... well, he’s obviously a member of that cult.

He had the #1 and #2 shooting guards of all time, and Scottie Pippen and peak Shaquille O’Neal (and peak Shaquille may be better than peak Wilt or peak Kareem)

The magic of HGH...

How many NFL and NBA stars have ever been busted?

Any American fan talking about cycling as dirty is in willful disregard of the 250 pound linemen / star power forwards in the main sports.

Oh, did MJ and LBJ BOTH go bald after entering the league? Hmmmmmm.

Is this to make them look legitimate?

Lance would routinely be pretty human in the non-TdF tours and events, and then turn into a superstar. Same with his teammates, which would be pretty pedestrian and then would drop KoM and GC top men leading packs up final climbs (sound familiar?).

Guess what: Sky ain’t gonna use…

No one runs faster that 9.9 in the 100 meters without doping.

I believe Usain Bolt is the only one who hasn’t been busted.... yeah...

I also don’t think sub-44 seconds in the 400, sub-13 minutes in the 5000, and sub-2:06 in the marathon are possible without drugs.

Is that bible beater still in charge of USADA? He had a special vendetta against Armstrong because he was atheist.

No, I don’t think Armstrong was innocent. I do think he was the fall guy for an all-doping sport, and a vindictive asshole.

Anyway, the USADA is full of shit. See also: the Mayweather fight.

Phil had the greatest player / greatest shooting guard for his first run of championships

Then had the second best shooting guard of all time for his second run and somewhere around the best to third-best center of all time.

... does anyone disagree that Kobe is the second best shooting guard of all time? Some may have…

Didn’t Sampras also play with a similar type of racquet?

I don’t get it.

When the Italians don’t contest the ruck, why don’t the Brits use a wedge formation with the concentration of players and numbers advantage and then rush forward after handing off inside the wedge? If that player gets tackled and no ruck, then keep repeating down the field.

In the highlights they keep…
