I watched the game last week and can tell you why. 

$5M to go away (assuming he gets paid out for his 2020 deal) AND he doesn’t have to continue with that dumpster fire of an organization?

Sounds like a pretty good way to start the week.

I’m not going to look but I’m certain that there’s football people who are going to hold this against Darnold for the rest of his career, as though there’s literally anything he could have done to shrink his spleen, and that he in any way should have tried to play anyway.

The only thing worse than the hype for this movie is the fanboys who have to defend it’s honor against...what? A review that called it pretty good but not great? I mean, a B- from Dowd is one of the higher grades he gives out. Imagine how aggrieved you’d feel if you experienced actual problems.

Fun fact - they’re gonna try to do that anyway! Hell, they’ll cheat to do that anyway (see, McConnell. M.). The idea that we should purposefully restrict our own ability to do fundamentally good things on the off-chance (LOL) that later down the line the Republicans might try to do bad things is so bizarre I can’t…

There’s something incredibly impressive and admirable when a player overcomes his own recovery and becomes viewed in the context of “just” an athlete, not a “comeback story” or anything of the sort. I would think most athletes vastly prefer the latter to the former; for example Jon Lester is now more well-known as an…

Real talk - this was simple and elegant. Thank you.
