I wonder how early in a game they’d concede a loss and just let all of their trustworthy pitchers sit..

This is a weird thing not to even mention in passing in the article. Seems kind of... relevant to his life?

Am I missing a level of irony, or could these people not come up with a less ridiculous name for their church than IHOP?

“as Christians, they relied on God’s direction for daily direction who function after praying on God’s word in scripture. Their decisions weren’t based on man-made background but from thoroughly praying.” And once a path has been decided upon, it wasn’t easily changed. “Brad and Jennifer would say we’ve thoroughly…

Where is the hoisting??

Sir, that’s not a banana suit, it’s a yellow pantsuit. And this isn’t a Pac 10 game. It’s a Lane Bryant.

Also, fuck Ohio State.

Yeah, he was clearly miffed at the killjoy nature of the penalty for something that’s clearly too much fun to be allowed in college football.
The rules expert kept saying, “if the intent is to deceive the other team by camoflaging their player . . . “
So, you’re not allowed to deceive the opponent in football. So those…

“Lay down and hide” has been my work strategy for 15 years. The trick is to not get caught.

Oh so its funny when they fall off the wagon, but not when I do?

My shame at this moment is boundless; it’s been so long since I was last in fourth grade—or around fourth graders in general—that I’d forgotten that their book reports are significantly more coherent (and much heavier on details and actual reading) than anything that has ever fallen from the anus planted just south of…

Why do you think this is an individual worker issue rather than a league-wide one?

Fellow labral tear-survivor here. I got mine playing college volleyball, but my trainers at the time said it was just a sprain. I could feel the humerus pop in and out of the socket, but whatever. So I basically played the rest of the season in constant pain and with regular subluxations where the joint would…

Jets management: “That’s not a shoulder injury, we gotta guy who can spot shoulder injuries a MILE AWAY!”

If only there were a group of people whose job it was to stand up for the players against owners who may not have the player’s best interests at heart. If only such groups were organized into some kind of “players’ association” or something like that. I’ve heard that writers on websites create these things called…

Yep, yet another reason I am on the players side 99.9% of the time when it comes to getting their money, fuck these teams. 

So this boils down to another player saying that he’s injured and the team is trying to pump him full of addictive painkillers to get him out there so that the Jets...can suck this season and go nowhere?

I tore my labrum when I was 23 (shit, almost 20 years ago), onboard a submarine. The navy ‘misdiagnosed’ it, and it…

Someone in (or around) San Jose would certainly be an expert.

Not to defend how ridiculously seriously football people (particularly coaches) take themselves too much, but the players do play a sport in which life-threatening injuries are a day-to-day possibility and in which they get a scant sixteen games each year to show off what they can do.

They should be barefoot and shorn bald! Dammit! This matters somehow!
