Yes, this is why you should never begrudge a player for pulling out all the stops to get paid.

I was wondering it was just me being stoned! 

“NO FUCKING HAND GESTURES!!”

I think it’s because they’re actually only in about 50% rebuilding mode. As long as a team has a top-5 QB, they never really punt on any season. It’s certainly a very tough decision. And I do think he was comprehensively shopped. We’ll see; he might still get traded. But with him playing, they’re still a potential…

Is there a Ralph’s around here?

Alright guy, you’re taking it a little too far. Yes, 99.99% chance he did it on purpose and that he is a douche. But simply throwing inside to make the hitter uncomfortable or move him off the plate is not “ill intent.” It’s a 100-yr old pitching tactic with logical and proven benefit.

Snez, yes. Ness, no.

Very accurate. I think Pepe could be higher. He’s funny.

... successfully executes a bounce pass in the backcourt.

He also separated Demaryius Thomas’ shoulder on that hit, and sent another 230-lb man hurtling 5 yards backwards. That was indeed a tone-setter.

I actually like it. At least he’s trying, which is a lot better than snidely making bad jokes about someone who’s trying.

Hard as fuck. It’s an apex killing machine; 100 pounds of rippling muscle, and that muscle is way freakin stronger and twitchier than ours.

“incidences”??

Totally get the reflex to damn this as race-related and so on, but let’s remember that Gruden is going to be judged by W’s and L’s. He’s not “sending a message” just to boost his “sheriff” image. He genuinely thinks jettisoning a personal-foul-getting, hated-enemy-fraternizing, relatively expensive punter is going to…

He’d be pissing on the side of a Ford.

Did he have his keys in his pocket?

You and me both, buddy (and Brandon Weeden).

I think it’s perfectly fair to bestow those labels on a rich kid. We don’t HAVE to scorn him just because his parents are wealthy.

White, untalented, and reasonably effective—yes.

Sad and lonely, sure, but statistically likely to be a few months longer than average!
