But the NFL does have an incentive to develop a minor league system. There are too many guys getting hurt every season, and the league really needs to have a viable pool of replacement-level players to fill out the roster. This will make the product better, by having a ready pool of talent available to sign when…

I am now more curious as to what Qybern did to Gregor to make him whatever he is, than I am to see how the show ends. If the last episode is Dany crowned queen and everyone just saying “fuck it” and accepting it, I hope that takes about 15 minutes. The rest can be Bran and Sam explaining the Night King’s motivation…

If he really is significantly hurt, I guess the media will stop asking him about free agency.

New thought on this...

Night King is going to Oldtown to destroy the Citadel.  It is known.

Nope! Never ever overthink football.

I have a feeling the Cardinals taking Kyler Murray #1 is a total smoke screen, and Rosen is totally in on it.  Stuff like leaving him out of that highlight video and the perceived slights against him are too Lions/Browns to be real.  Watch them move that pick when the Raiders throw the kitchen sink at them for that…

Missed the start of this game. Pistons go down 20-4 from the start. Well, it can’t get much worse than that, right? Wrong! If by some unlikely miracle, the Pistons come back and win the series, the Bucks should just close down shop and cease operations. If there was an argument for going back to Best of 5 for 1st…

Is Biden just one of those weird touchy, close-talking types, that doesn’t respect or understand the boundaries of personal space? Maybe he thinks women are sensitive and need hugs and whatever other creepy things he’s doing. Doesn’t do the same stuff to men, but does equally weird things like those strong handshakes…

Exactly. You know what is going to happen, yet the scene draws you in to the point that it is shocking and surprising when things turn out the way they do. The way you knew they were supposed to, at least from the prior knowledge of having read the books. That is the mark of a good adaptation. 

I think he cost himself the chance at making one hell of a documentary or Sacha Baron C0hen-style film where he pitches identical movie ideas to different studios, just changing the cast make up to be an all white leads or all black leads. That could have made some folks look really, really bad.

Just to be clear, “as long as they win, it works” is more about the narrative created than it is my opinion on the tactics. It can be spun as “tough love”or helping the player “grow into a man” or whatever people are saying. The winning is the most important thing. If he yells at him, or hugs him, or does interpretive…

Coaches are assholes. It’s kind of their thing. Tom Izzo does not pretend to be something he is not. I’m pretty sure everyone choosing to play for him is pretty much expecting what he is giving them. Should he calm the fuck down? Yes. Are people making a bigger issue than necessary out of this? Yes.  As long as they…

I took my dad with me to see the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie. We were the only people in the theater. Much like SNL skits, maybe making a full length movie off of a 15 minute cartoon is not the best idea. He was not a fan. I’d say at least once or twice a year since, he’ll reference this experience as a dig against…

The Jolson Story 2: Back in Blackface

But he has his magical TB12 program, so he doesn’t officially count as old.  Drew Brees is “honest” old, but still younger than me, so it’s not the same.

As someone who just turned 40 not too long ago, it is a total bummer when they talk about guys being old, washed up, etc., and they are all a few years younger than you are. I think there are only a hand full of guys left in each sport that are older than me. I found out over the weekend that there are only two guys…

He has a family, so please forgive Michael Clyburn for his shitty email.

Yeah, this isn’t some rec league team where the guy paid money, so you probably should let him play out the season. They need to end this. Nobody gains from this situation, and literally the best-case scenario is for it to stop. The longer this plays out, the worse for everyone involved, plus potential injury and fan…

I agree. They are not colluding, per se. However, teams are definitely using the fact that smarter teams realized that handing out long-term, big dollar contracts to players who are all but guaranteed to underperform on the back end, is a bad idea. There is no incentive to throw money around. See Detroit Tigers as an…
