Look at Aaron Judge. Dude is top 5 face of MLB and makes under $600K. By the time he's an unrestricted free agent, he'll be 30-31 and no team will sign him to a long term deal.

I don’t think they’re going to Vegas in a “down on my luck, nothing left to lose” way. More in a “haven’t been relevant in 30 years so I guess I’ll do a residency at the MGM” way.

And I looked back and saw only one set of footprints in the sand, and I asked God, “Why, when I needed you most, why did you abandon me?” God replied, “No, Antonio, it was then that I carried you. Because you cryogenically froze your fucking feet. This was one month ago! How do you not remember this?”

Broncos. Tonight. 10:20 PM EDT. Oakland. Be there, or don’t. At this point, what difference does it make?

The same place as anyone down on their luck with nothing left to lose, VEGAS BABY.

This will also be a factor (as well as the general incompetence of the Raiders) in attracting free agents to the Raiders the next few years. Of course, it looks like the Raiders don’t want to attract star free agents, so maybe it won’t matter.

Yes, this article and this comment. Finally some analysis that refuses to accept the NFL culture of authority-measuring as a given. Voiding the contract isn’t some minor detail in AB’s diva act; it’s the whole ballgame.

Apparently some people can get CTE from coaching football.

Derrius can handle those 12.

Come on now, he was acquitted of two of those murders, and even if he wasn't, he probably would only qualify as a spree killer...

“That guy was drafted, not a reclamation. And he never let his murder-spree hobby interfere with his performance on the field.” — Guy at Foxboro bar.

A quick note for Mike Mayock, given that he seems to need to throw his authority around loudly:

“Any man who must say, “I am the King”, is no true king.” -Tywin Lannister

Have fun going through another appallingly mediocre year in... uh... wherever the hell the Raiders play at any given moment, Mike!

It’s reasonable to do this mapping for people in your house, who you will naturally gain supports with an thus understand them. It’s basically impossible for the people not in your house. You simply don’t have enough information on them. Given the time-limited nature of the usefulness of lost items, that’s pretty…

Kenny Stills got to bail by calling out the owner for being a Trump stooge. No frostbite needed. 

As I Giants fan, I envy the Dolphins for being a team that knows they’re tanking.

Even as recently as, say, 15 or 20 years ago, the typical person didn’t read the New York Times regularly, and certainly didn’t read the opinion section regularly. And yet, you probably knew, through osmosis or whatever, that it was the paper of record, written by elites, with its opinion section being the most…

Maureen Dowd: “Let me eat cake”

smendlovitz3 proving that the new Tool album doesn't really work as well when you just read it.
