You were implying you were pretty drunk last night. Which would be a weird state for Hillary to be in at 9:30am on a Sunday morning at a campaign event.

So we should stoke the rumors of her drinking problems rather than her health problems?

For now, look at box scores and do the math in your head to figure out if you’re winning.

Wasn’t he old enough to drink when he signed with United?

Yes, because the showboating is what led to Newton’s play degrading over the course of the game, rather than the likely concussion from headhunting.

The “logical extension” of every argument is the ultimate heat death of the universe.

The problem is that for any of that to work, you need officials who are willing and able to see headshots and acknowledge them as such. If last night was any indication, the NFL can’t reach that bare minimum of integrity.

Honestly, I’ll give this one to the refs and not to the concussion spotters- It is up to the refs to shut that shit down early

This:

I don’t really have a strong opinion about the DL one way or another, but I’m hard-pressed to see how the League in which all players are required to participate in each aspect of the game is the one that doesn’t want to play baseball.

Except that if they make the playoffs, they’re obviously going to win it all because God hates us.

Where I suspect this is really mucking about with the quality of play is when teams have to start resorting to injury replacements. An untested rookie is going to look at lot worse coming in for an injured DB than a fringe veteran who at least knows what he’s doing.

OR DOES HE??

Are we just ignoring that time they also hilariously cut Elvis Dumervil because no one knows how a fax machine works?

Take a stab at guessing the response from the biggest hardass in an extremely white sport.

It’s not a crime—it’s just also not a good way for determining which of the two teams is “better,” which I thought everyone with an even rudimentary grasp of statistics already agreed upon.

Nice

Maybe, but at the same time, don’t we all generally accept that baseball is a significantly more random sport than football, consequently increasing the need for a larger regular-season sample to separate the wheat from the chaff? The best football teams habitually win 75%+ of their games, whereas that would…

Any yet, somehow, at just 6 games above .500 (and on pace to roughly stay there), the Cardinals currently hold a WC spot, from which they will undoubtedly reach the World Series because God is cruel and life isn’t fair.

Yea—seems weird to call them the first team eliminated when they’re still ahead of three other teams in the WC race.
