That’s the thing. The reality is that both Bennett and Green Bay were gaming the system. Bennett disclosed to the Packers, but it decided not to inform the league because it was a competitive team with a chance of making the playoffs; for the Packers, Bennett is a necessity, not a luxury. Bennett goes along because he…

Diners are great. The best ones aren’t in New Jersey, but in Queens, near Kennedy and La Guardia airports. Also, great Korean, Chinese and Japanese cuisine, and wonderful Jewish delis.

Except that Dusty Baker actually wins games. Something Fisher has never done. The better comparison would be to Marv Levy or Bud Grant, head coaches who can take teams to the mountaintop, but never to the promised land. Also, Moses.

A company like Twitter knows its audience. It knows that most folks talk about quitting social media and yet, won’t do it. Therefore, it can do all kinds of awful things and get away with it because no one is going to stop using their little social media box. The only exception to that rule, of course, is the current…

The Rams’ record is better than that of the Giants. It almost beat a good Washington team and beat what is an average Cowboys team. In short, it is a good team. Not great. But good. And the Giants can’t even muster an offense worthy of being in the NFL.

Never forget that division rivalries tend the bring out the best in teams. Even in the years Washington was awful, it always pulled out at least one win against Dallas and another against Philly. And even in the Super Bowl era, Washington shat the bed against the 1-15 Cowboys.

That’s always the problem when you work for someone else, especially if you choose to work for a media giant that is the division of a much-larger corporation with regulatory worries and other issues to be concerned about. There’s a saying that the paycheck is the bribe a company pay for you to give up your dreams. It…

First big flaw in your argument: Kaepernick was better statistically than 17 other quarterbacks last year. He’s a top 25 starter.

Mariucci comes with a lot of flaws. His handling of Terrell Owens after that famed Dallas game — chewing him out in front of the team instead of doing it privately — was wrong and started T.O. on a self-destructive path he had previously avoided; Steve Young often talks about how humble T.O. was before that moment.…

What you feel is similar to my love of the old RFK Stadium. A dump? Most certainly. A perfect place for football? Absolutely.

Exactly. There are a variety of Black cultures, the same way there are variations in White cultures, Asian cultures and Latin cultures. [That we end up lumping a lot of the last two groups, with their varieties of ethnicities and countries together, into supposedly homogeneous groups is a major problem of American…

On one hand, Contreras is a fool. If Khalifa will clown on someone as famous as Drake for DMing her for sex, then he was also bound to get it. He deserves to get clowned.

Could have been worse. You could have gone to South of the Border.

I’ll disagree. There is nothing in Mississippi as gorgeous as Hilton Head. Though Biloxi can more than compete with Myrtle Beach in the trash and drink department.

I’m a Washington fan, trying to recover from that addiction. But I have friends who have season tickets and I get to go to two games a year.

Exactly. Donors always control the scope of the use of money they give, even when they come with “no strings attached”. Everyone knows what is supposed to happen. But if the donor begins trying to push research or activity to a predetermined outcome, it is bad for the reputation of the institution. Especially in the…

Pretty much. Certainly O.J. deserves his place in hell for (allegedly) murdering Nicole (and as a Black man, I always believed he did it, just as I believed he was likely to get off because of anger of LAPD corruption and police brutality). But in all honesty, he only got a 33-year sentence because of anger over him…

Of course, she did. But kinks don’t come out of nowhere. One of the things you learn when studying child development is that a lot of issues children exhibit and act out result from trauma. Some of that trauma is a result of what happens at home. Other times from physical and sexual abuse.

Not that his lawyers would have made a difference. Criminals ignore their lawyers all the time and crap executives ignore their lawyers and public relations people all the time. [I do public relations, so I deal with these kinds of people on occasion, as does my wife, a corporate lawyer.]

I would say that anyone working for Trump should be ashamed of themselves as well. These aren’t people who have no other options. They could have chosen any other path, but instead, chose to work for a man who is both evil and has a long history of humiliating underlings who don’t do his bidding to the very letter.
