So can we take a second to give a shoutout to the security guard here? It’s very, very clear by how fast the refs swarmed around and split her off that she didn’t know that this was planned— which means tiny little her saw big-ass Gronk hop the barricade and went “welp, this is what I’m doing tonight” and dove right…

Lets ignore the fact that Oregon shot 27% from 3 and 37% from the field. Not boxing out was totally the reason they lost, not the clank fest they were having from beyond the 3 point line. If they got the rebound, they would’ve shot a 25 footer against a double team and most likely missed.

I feel bad for the kid. He was a beast in that game and Oregon wouldn’t have been in a position to have a shot at it without him.

A lot of the bad shooting has to do with playing basketball in a football stadium. It throws the depth perception off from what they are use to. The NCAA doesn’t give a shit because selling 70,000 tickets is better than selling 20,000 tickets.

Yes, clearly a superior focus on fundamentals by the team that missed four straight free throws.

Liberty Bell: “Tell me about it.”

I’m absolutely gobsmacked to see a Deadspin writer cite NCAA amateurism regulations as somehow controlling the business activities of an unaffiliated private business.

Seriously though, good for him.

He’s probably crying because he realizes he needs to spend time in Philadelphia.

I literally will not watch this for 2 reasons:

1) because even reading the description made me cringe so fucking hard I barely made it through the article without NOPE-ing out of it, and

Unless the supplement has steroids in it, cause

It’s not my fault that you’re missing a really easy and obvious joke. Take it out on the punter like everybody else.

Your high school didn’t have dirt?

But if everyone did steroids then their feats would just become the norm. You wouldn’t have amazing outliers like Lance Armstrong and Mcgwire. The current best athletes would still be the best, just on a different scale.

You sonuvabitch.

You may not want them to be forced, but the inherent pressure to keep up means you’re doing just that for every person who wants to play that sport. Also, what happens to college players? High school players? They’re gonna have to take them too in order to prepare for the pros. You trust *every* small town team to…

Well, we now have a thread with straw-man, ad-hominem, slippery slope and pedantic mentions.

That was a very substantive and thoughtful response. Thanks for playing.
