I could see this from the combination of trying a start-up, self-sufficient sports site combined with how the Athletic has recently been working to bleed away some of his more known writers (at least Kaboly and, I think, Yohe). That’s the sort of stuff that could easily turn someone into a micro-managing tyrant.

At least he hasn’t been as bad as he usually has been. He was the asshole authority guy for Raw’s Survivor Series team (and to be real, if there was a time the crowd DID want to see him, him coming out to pedigree Jason Jordan while he was in full-whine mode was it) and then disappeared the Raw after when !BRAUN! came…

Yeah, but then he found out that a lacrosse player from some tiny school got a free sandwich at Wendy’s, so he’s going at that all guns blazing!

I think the big problem (which could easily have been predicted) is that when they have a big nostalgia night, they can easily lose all sense of balance between the nostalgia and the current guys working towards their current story-lines. What did last night have? One legit match (Reigns vs. Miz) and a few throwaway…

Heartbreaker

Is it just me or did anyone else look at this dude’s pic and the headline and think “So, that’s what Logan Paul started doing after getting his YouTube channel shut down...”?

And his electric feud with T.L. Hopper. The heroic garbageman taking on the evil plumber. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BLUE COLLAR AMERICA IMPLODES!??!

As a Steelers fan who watched his team lose in no small part because the coaching staff got WAY too cute on fourth-and-inches MULTIPLE FUCKING TIMES when they have a massive mountain man at QB who could just belly-flip through a defense for a couple yards, I agree with this.

Bill Simmons’ website did an expose on just how amazing the Patriots have been under BeliBrady?!? I AM SHOCKED. TELL ME MORE.

I mean, I see that you tried, but your argument really doesn’t work when you’re talking 5-team divisions in MLB (or the 4-team ones in NFL either, where an 8-8 champ gets home field over the 11-5 wild card from a better division).

An alternate take from a Pirates fan:

The five million camera angles switching back-and-forth made it look like a SyFy original, but the part at the end where he stood in front of Angle, flexed and yelled in his face made it the greatest moment WWE history over the past forever or so.

As a Steeler fan who has friends and acquaintances who cheer for Cleveland and Cincinnati, I have moments where I feel like I’m being an entitled dick of a fan. They’ll make a “Rapistberger” comment and I’ll respond with a “You’re just pissy because...your team never has won anything (Bengals)/you’d need to be a…

Don’t worry, Browns fans! The crooked owner is still emphatic they’re keeping Hue “1-31" Jackson as head coach because he doesn’t feel he’s lost whatever alleged magic he previously had. Said magic could either be how he is a respected assistant coach/coordinator, which doesn’t necessarily translate to success as a…

Man, I’m torn about the NFL this season. On one hand, it’s been a horrible year for injuries, taking a lot of fun out of games due to the number of absolutely shitty QBs sucking it up combined with how, after the Shazier injury, I seem to cringe at nearly every hit because, as that one showed, they don’t have to be…

Yeah! And the only difference between a person coming onto a generally snarky site to make snarky comments and a person coming on to mock said snarky comments is that the former can at least claim to have some small modicum of dignity!

My guess is that he’s using pics of the low attendance to say that people aren’t going to see the Browns as “evidence” that Clevelanders are supporting Trump by refusing to see them damn ‘Murica-hating pinko flag-disrespecting libbys.

The scary thing being that Jerry’s constant scowl/grimace/constipation-look is even more pronounced than the character in that picture.

As a Steelers fan eagerly awaiting this year’s loss to the Pats in the playoffs, I disagree, as those bumblebee uniforms ALWAYS cause me to bust out laughing. And when you’re the perennial second-fiddle to Belichek and Brady, you need all the hearty laughter you can find.

Matt Stafford, the guy notable for having a huge contract and leading his teams to very, very, very little success against winning teams, but mopping up against the dregs of the league, is preferable to a guy who actually has succeeded throughout the regular season and playoffs AND has evolved to become the…
