I used to play bass for Unwanted Final Score.

Eh, it would be kind of embarrassing for an NBA team to engage in a full-court press against a team of weekend warriors. Otherwise this is correct.

Money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, things like that. The entire system is a conspiracy to commit tax evasion, but the ringleader of the racket is the NCAA which prevents players from claiming their income legally.

You were so close.

To answer #2, this investigation really targets money laundering/wire fraud at multi-national corporations like Adidas and Nike. Demolishing the NCAA’s facade of amateurism is just a side effect.

Coming soon to a deposition/witness stand near you:

Am I grayed again for some reason? Cool. Screw this site.

I blame the absence of fathers in the white community. Where is the personal responsibility???

Counterpoint: Sports bars are actually awful places to watch sports, and I routinely go to non-sports bars to watch sports in peace and quiet whilst eating food and drinking beer.

Take the win, Nick.

The Eagles defense is fantastic, but this needs to be reiterated: after leaving USC in disgrace, Sarkisian managed not to fuck up Alabama’s offense for one year, and was hired by a team fresh off of a Super Bowl appearance with a top offense, the league MVP and no key offensive skill position losses. Under his watch,…

He’s going to murder a girlfriend or random club-goer someday, and it’ll be as shocking as a sunrise.

Something off with that dude. Always has been.

As much as I love Lebatard that was an unfair question and Dan knew it was. The new ownership refused to talk so Dan goes after the guy who will talk. No sports commissioner is charge of payroll. Yes, the commissioner could theoretically veto all the transactions. But if he does that than the owners rightfully call…

I can’t decide if your post is funnier if the last word is a typo or intentional...

Don’t be. This is part and parcel of what a smart commissioner does. Jeter and the owners are getting murdered in the press so Manfred will try to deflect some of that his way. Gary Bettman basically made this an artform, letting every stupid “How come you hate Canada” question come his way from all the radio hosts up…

This is one profoundly moronic take.

One thing you see in New York all the time is people getting in fights and arguments that would be fatal for somebody almost anywhere else in the country, but they just end and the combatants seem to just get over it as fast as it started. I mean, you’ll see people call each other awful names, threaten to kill each…
