I said it in 1983 and I'll say it now. Everybody spazzing out over MJ LIP-SYNCHING and doing a move that had been around forever totally ignored the really transcendent performance that night:

Agreed that Brock should keep the title, and the more Heyman the better. But give credit where it's due, Roman's gotten better on the stick. Yeah, ANYTHING is an improvement over where he started from, but the problems I have with his promos lately aren't his delivery, but the usual WWE insistence on repeating…

Surprised no one has commented on his sartorial homage to Belichick.

Two thoughts—

Perhaps 'deliberate' wasn't the best choice of word. My friend is representing people who aren't that well-known. So proving the person they are accusing of appropriating their music actually heard their work prior to creating a similar-sounding song can be difficult to prove. Unlike, in the 'Blurred Lines' case, the…

This, + a googol. The preemptive lawsuit was a stupid move. A friend of mine is an entertainment attorney. He says infringement is an easy case to make—the hard part is, can you prove DELIBERATE infringement? When artists come to him with a case of their music being copied by other artists, his stock question is, "How…

Good point, but he's also telegraphing the fuck out of his throw. Meanwhile, Lynch is about to break free on the left...

There was significant shrinkage.

I'd guess their reasoning is...it belongs in the Hall of Fame, but not on the first ballot.

+ 1. Can we get a nomination for Dan LeBatard's BBWA ballot?

Indeed.

THANK YOU. I have nothing but admiration and respect for Roger Staubach, but whenever I see him talking about how the Hail Mary play came to be, I get annoyed. Your most famous play came to be because Drew Pearson got away with a foul!

Holy crap, Drew's KSK piece on Rex Grossman is from EIGHT YEARS AGO? I remember reading it the day it was posted and laughing out loud in the office. Every time I saw Grossman play after that, I either thought or said, "Fuck it, I'm throwing it downfield!"

I like eggnog this time of year, but I have never found the need to do an entire punch bowl of the stuff. Here's a good small-batch recipe I found in a cocktail book years ago:

See, I totally mis-interpreted his gesture. I thought he was saying, "Hey! I'm NOT Albert Haynesworth!"

Ah....the "Bill O'Reilly" excuse.

"In a battle between Coach Ditka and logic, I predict....Ditka 6,000, logic zero."

"Hockey players do a better job mimicking the rugby physique: short, squat, no teeth, no ears, an almost profound look of blank stupidity when they are asked very simple questions."

He could care less about the team strugg-a-ling.
