Nobody on God’s green earth deserves to be benched in favor of Geno Smith.

There are literally zero teams, in baseball or any other major sport, that believe in and practice “analytics only.” That is a nonsense straw man beloved by people like Michael Kay who feel threatened by numbers they don’t understand. If the Yankees were “analytics only,” they would have hired a statistician to manage

Hopefully she’s able to get away while his foot is stuck.

Reading this comment, down here in the greys seem about right

I gotta say, respect to the Madden curse for really upping its fucking game. No resting on laurels there. 

Libertarians are exclusively Republicans who know their policies are flawed and trying to Rowdy Roddy Piper you in a debate, always changing the question when you come up with their answers.

Dealer: Sir, you have 9, would you like to hit?

Frankly, from most of the his blog posts I’ve seen, they aren’t really of the humorist variety, but more of the “I’m a proud libertarian ( who only votes Republican )“ type, with quite a bit of “how the mainstream media gets it wrong” conspiracy theory mixed in for good measure.

This game was the greatest sporting event I’ve ever been able to attend, and honestly one of the best nights of my life. Unreal tension, back and forth lead changes, 12 innings (with a 1-1 10th), surprise heroes and goats, the possibility that it was the Twins last ever game in the Metrodome, the crowd losing their

This is supposed to be a calendar from the 80's but doesn’t have this drawn on it? FAKE CALENDAR! Sad!

I had a tick once on my scalp when I was 9. Folks took me to the E.R. The nurse proceeded to take a bunsen burner to a q-tip and then proceeded to scorch that tick outta my head. By they way, the scar is still there as a 40 year old. This was in New Jersey and I still dream about that hot nurse. 

Jimmy Butler wants to be traded to a team that can afford a free agent like KAT. Jimmy Butler plays with KAT. Jimmy Butler is an idiot.

“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?
