America loves civil rights leaders when they’re old and non-threatening or dead and really non-threatening. From MLK to Jackie Robinson to John Lewis to Muhammad Ali, the pattern is obvious.

As a lifelong Padre fan, my head would literally explode if they signed any of these guys. They won’t of course but it sure would be nice. 

What a sad scary time to be a young, upper-class, white male. Thoughts and prayers.

I just got out of the Transfer Portal.  And after the Indian food I had for lunch I suggest you give it a few minutes before you go in there.

I don’t know if anyone else has seen it but there’s a show called QB1 that was on Netflix(in Canada anyway) that followed Ol’ Tathan and the Georgia QB throughout their senior years of HS and they’re both just the dumbest football bros imaginable. It’s great.

I’m waiting for the day when the header is just a black rectangle.

More Markus fun facts:

Disclaimer: rampant speculation here. I’d guess that the “sex tape” might be referring to Dwight Howard’s accuser, who some thought was trans (but is a gay man). That would explain the clumsiness, and why the Warriors/Curry might understandably push back against the description of the conversation. 

Given that he’s an Ohio guy and coaching Ohio State was the only job he ever really wanted, I might be naive, but I think this is it for him. You don’t resign from your dream job if you don’t have to, whether it’s for health reasons or scandal-related reasons, or a combination of both. Especially since he’s the second…

Yes, Chris. We all know that guy. But looking objectively, the guy is a marginal NFL quarterback under the best circumstances. Yeah, sure, he had some success and even pulled off some heroics in the playoffs, when it counts the most. But he comes with so much baggage - the kneeling, the outsized media attention, the…

I have to admit, the best bit on the internet right now is Deadspin making Gruden’s face redder in the hero image for each subsequent article you post about him.

I would flip if any team took the time to re-enact the *entire* thing.

I’ve been doing StitchFix for a while now, and have had a positive experience.  In the past I would just go to Kohls and seemingly end up with the same clothes every time and they wouldn’t last; these ones I pay a bit more for (not as much as you’d think though), they’re better quality, but most importantly it makes…

That is just disrespectful to Troy, and I simply will not tolerate any Sun Belt hate in this comments section.

It’s amazing to see a sports league be able to actually improve its rules, as opposed to making them so muddled and crowded with terms that you can’t even figure out what a catch is.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like Janoris knew his fuckup brother and his fuckup brother’s friends were “hanging out” over there a lot, and probably knew that meant crashing sometimes or a lot, and wasn’t happy about it, and then he got a panicked text from said brother saying he fucked up again at the house…

STRIKE!

Skunk Works should be required reading in the US public school system.

Here, I’m a lawyer, so let me translate this into English:
