The scary thing is that, if I’m a defensive player that wants to win the game at all costs, there’s a risk/reward equation that you can calculate as the clock is winding down.

The real idiocy is that Nemechek didn’t have to do what he did. He had Custer off line and all he had to do was sprint to the finish line. Maybe Custer gets straightened and then wins the sprint, but probably not. Nemechek chose to continue to pin Custer against the wall rather than establish a racing line.

I live out in the hinterlands of Minnesota, and you don’t know how many times I’ve heard that very question asked

It’s not robbery if these weren’t people impersonating cops, but were actually cops who decided that they needed to supplement their pay. So, of course, once this little detail was discovered, the Rio police would go into CYA mode. And with most, if not all, the victims already leaving the country, the impetus to…

Of course, all players from the United States who are playing in Japan speak Japanese when they’re interviewed and don’t resort to translators....

What some institutions are doing (I’m looking at you UNC) is drawing a bright line between what is an NCAA violation and what is Title IX/Clery Act violation. They do this hoping that while they may get their butts handed to them by the Department of Education, the NCAA might go easy on them. So the University is…

Because of the recent success of NDSU football, I’m sure the athletic department thought it could start acting like an SEC powerhouse and run roughshod over media. But then someone remembered that, no matter how good they are, they’re still in Fargo.

One wonders what the front page of the papers looked like the day after President Obama became the first black man to win the nomination....

Wait, you mean Donald Sterling wasn’t the only bigoted owner in professional sports?

Having attended Dartmouth with her, I can honestly say that I’m not surprised.

The first step is admitting you have a problem, otherwise, you’re doomed to relapse.

Perhaps he mean Groucho Marxism?

I wonder which burner name he uses to troll through the comments, because there was definitely some familiar phrasing...

It seems to me that Title IX works fine in those institutions that don’t have secondary (or primary) revenue streams. If tiny Podunk U gets slapped with a fine and loses Department of Education revenue (and has to pay off a lawsuit), it really hurts them, so they take it seriously. When Big Football Powerhouse…

Perhaps an indication as to why athletics tends to trump academics lies in the reporting. Numerous tweets and statements from the players, and nothing at all from the faculty other than the initial reporting. With over 100 faculty signing the original petition, surely a few of them would go on record and say something…

You know, for all the crap that Durant is getting from a bunch of people I have little to no respect for, I might have to consider that Durant knows exactly what he’s doing.

You misspelled Tom Baker as David Tennant.

Let’s not forget Bran is actually the true heir to Winterfell. Jon has Stark blood, but is not a direct descendant of Ned. So, if and when Bran returns, he would become Lord of Winterfell. And, if you’re thinking about marriage alignments... Lyanna Mormont is much closer in age to Bran. Although that would leave Meera…

When dealing with Title IX violations, there are many parts that are factored in when considering any sanctions. One of the biggest is “Institutional Response and Remedy” or “What are you going to do now that you’ve been caught?”
