“All I want to do is park in a lot that charges me $50 to walk a half mile to a stadium financed by my tax dollars, sit in the stands with tickets bought off a third-party reseller, get bombarded with ads all over the stadium and on the video board, eat some concessions and drink some beers that are 4x what they

Clay Travis looks like the kind of guy who would try to bring a kid with a head full of lice onto a commercial flight. 

You know, I can almost — almost — get where the “keep politics out of sports!!1!” crowd comes from. Those of us who love sports probably didn’t fall in love with it as adults, or because we enjoyed the complexities of labor relations or analyzing power structures in the institutions of sports. We were idiot kids who

Clay Travis is the guy who parks too far away from the gas pump so no one can pull behind OR next to him.

I can’t even participate in the “He looks like...” because there are too many things he looks like he (and almost definitely actually) does in real life. Does he jump on people and tell them we live in a Republic? You fucking know it. Start every conversation insisting that he’s not a racist? Yup. Say women have it

Clay Travis looks like the guy who showers at the gym but doesn’t dry off until he walks all the way back to his locker.

Hot take, but they are right to ban this kind of play. With the targeting rules as they are in the NCAA, players are (as they should be) gun-shy about clobbering a dude just standing there defenseless. Hell, it might even be a personal foul even if it’s a live play -- the refs could just say he had given himself up.

Like truth and lies have bearing to these people?

COME ON AND SLAM, AND WELCOME TO THE JAM

Should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque. Maybe then you wouldn’t have ended up with your head up your own ass.

Michigan J. Frog criminally underrated. 

[Pedantic comment warning.]

Moving is awful; moving when you own a house is intolerable. And the frictional costs associated with selling real property — broker fees, transfer tax, attorneys’ fees, mortgage recording taxes, title insurance costs, all of those fees on the HUD statement that you can’t quite figure out— make it prohibitively

I reffed intramural sports (primarily basketball and indoor soccer) in college to supplement my drinking budget. All-Male leagues were intense in the action, but generally those guys were just playing to play and were generally pretty chill to the refs and other players.

Don’t forget, they’re also alleged “titans of industry” in an array of fields unrelated to sports, as well. These clowns are our New American Aristocracy, the best our particular strain of capitalism can apparently develop.

I think this relates to our society’s common misconception that because someone is rich that they are also competent. This is absolutely not true and even someone like myself who understands this is confused by how rich people act.

If the NFL doesn’t know what a catch is, how could they ever understand a catch-22?

Peacefully protesting the anthem is far less detrimental to the Dolphins than starting Ryan Tannehill at QB every week.

You know what would be more satisfying?  Not giving these people a platform in the first place.
