You have to start off slow, like be the person heard clearly in a crowd of hundreds of quiet sports fans (L.A. Chargers home game)

Oh yeah, that A-Rod was just horrible as a Yankee. 54 WAR and 2 MVPs, he’s just like Kei Igawa.

I’m not as much of an expert as the author (or probably 80% of the readership), but it feels like the type of skill player these teams gravitate to really plays well into the schemes. As a Pats fan, I know that they have almost nothing but quick dudes under 6'1". They run about 400 WR sweeps a week and have three…

You can also pay extra for the Chris Brown appearance package and have unique “Domestic Assault Vehicle” badges added along with random bling around the vehicle.

“While injustice exists and should be eradicated, people should also attempt to help themselves” is a racist take in 2017

What’s wrong with a woman getting Makeup and Surgery?!?!?!

i dont see why thers a federal case over adidas giving money its there money they can spend it howevre they want its a little thing called free speech as upheald by the supreme court i dont see how this site can defend this knee-taking busineess as free speech but not this i guess the nfl player so called protest fits…

That is because the NCAA does has very limited power outside of eligibility. I get a kick out of everyone that rightfully bashes the NCAA for fucking up investigations in areas that they actually have oversight but for some reason want the NCAA to have more power to investigate other areas. This works so damn well in…

what’s amazing is that it’s this—money getting funneled to the athletes—that took him down. Not the two major sex scandals. Using and destroying the lives of anybody who touches a major program is OK according to the morals of the NCAA. but pass money to an “amateur” athlete? we’ll drag you to the guillotine for that,…

This has always been interesting to me. We expect certain behavior from athletes because they make a lot of money, but honestly ... if your job sucks, it doesn’t really matter how much money you make, you’re still going to be demoralized and disinterested, and likely to not work as hard as you otherwise would. This is…

Leaving aside the probably out of place moralizing about “cheating” in such an inherently corrupt system I think it’s fair to say that Pitino isn’t the only shady actor in the field and most coaches, who have just as much access to top level recruits, haven’t had his success.

I am shocked, SHOCKED that there is money changing hands in amateur athletics that makes billions of dollars in revenue. I wonder if this scandal will be enough to drop them from the #1 on Forbes most valuable college basketball franchises (yes that’s a real thing).

I’m not a psychologist, but I’m assuming there’s some deep-seated thing in certain human brains for this sort of super-fandom. Because it’s not even just a sports thing - you could make that exact same argument (and be correct) for Corporate Brands, entertainment celebrities, music bands, TV shows, movies, etc.

Any different than a self-important dingus who spends all day making snarky comments on Deadspin?

I’ve always wondered just how these types of superfans become such.

“Hey, did you come across a disabled woman out there?”

I saw her on the trail!

-Lennay Kekua

I was raised not to stare at people who have disabilities, so maybe every hiker that passed her just kinda awkwardly looked the other way when she walked by.

Although I hate Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, they too recognized the value of the OL. Although the Boys’ OL didn’t look very good against Denver!
