I remember reading about his funeral and the likes of Maria Shriver (First Lady of California at the time) and John McCain were talking about Pat being with God. Then his brother came up and talked about how Pat wasn’t religious and said he isn’t with God but “he’s just fucking dead.” Then he took the pint of beer he…

As a veteran I am sick and fucking tired of being used as a poster for the right in general. Like a lot, maybe most, people I signed up for a lot of reasons, family, circumstance, patriotism and to get the fuck out of small town. If I’d known 30 years later my service would used like this, I would’ve taken that job at…

Good take from Bob Costas:

Given the Tillman family’s blunt use of colorful language and their cynicism towards the PR that was pasted over his death, I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND that Trump just try to bring Pat Tillman into this debate.

Had this convo on twitter earlier.

I tutored Tyler Eifert in college and he was without a doubt the dumbest person I tutored in the 3 years I did. He is showing his grasp on history and global politics is no stronger than his grasp on pre-calculus ever was.

Screw you, Redford! I will continue to use Pat Tillman as I patriotically rock out to Springsteen’s “Born in the USA!”

I say or write some version of this every year, but, each season the championship goes to a team that got lucky: Their own players’ Achilles’ tendons didn’t explode and/or some other team’s players’ Achilles’ tendons exploded and/or the seeding protected them from a tough matchup that would have worn them down before…

Yup. this has always been true, I think

The great Denver teams had a reputation for producing great RBs, but it was all predicated on having a great OL

Evidence #4799301 that demonstrates basic upgrade to an offensive line can do wonders for an offense.

As I said, it’s a fine take. The MVP’s a regular season award, so the finals don’t matter, but yes, he was incredible. But Howard averaged 18p, 13r, 2.8b, on 63% shooting (even his FTs were a reasonable 60% that year), and was an absolute monster on defense. LeBron’s statistical season was better, but the vast…

One of my favorite NBA stories was how Kobe could tolerate Shaq’s poor free throws because he missed them all the time, but he freaked out on Dwight because apparently Dwight nails them in practice.

I mean, that sounds nice and all, but Shaq was one of the most dominant and successful players in NBA history despite never rising above “miserable” as a free-throw shooter.

Derrick Rose’s 2011 MVP trophy belongs in Dwight Howard’s house.

A side point but did anyone read that ESPN thing about Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches in the NBA that then veered off into a horrifying account of Dwight Howard’s candy consumption?

I have to admit, when I saw this morning that Alex Smith had thrown for 368 yards I was really trying to figure out how he managed 125 completions in one game.

Very impressive. Every time I try to imitate college I end up unspeakably lit and lose a shoe.

Reese, just give me more Big Little Lies please. Thanks!

Damn Ray. When you saw that picture after really advocating for Kaepernick it must have felt like you got stabbed in the back.

Ray Lewis is human garbage.
