What’s the viable alternative? I’d love to see one.

had overdosed on acetaminophen when he was 17.

You’re uninformed.

I am by no means a fan of Erin Andrews. I think she’s just okay at her job and that the job itself is, more often than not, pretty useless to me. But this is awful. The case and ESPN’s reaction to it. And Marriott allowing it to go to trial instead of making a reasonable settlement offer. Overall, just a horrible way…

there has been no proof that the hotel provided the room number to the stalker.

As long as there’s a limit to how many people can get in each year and they admit 100% of that number, it’s a little difficult to make arguments about someone getting jobbed.

The fruits of online anonymity...

“pass the ball as if it’s coated in anthrax.”

Wasn’t that the knock on Alex Smith coming out of college?

A friend lost a sister in a similar way - they kept her on life support for a few days so he could get home to pay final respects (he was an exchange student at the time).

Seemed a really quick whistle. Is the rule five seconds or fewer?

For their sake, I’m going to hope that you fathered them when you were already quite old (ironically, that would require you to be significantly senior to their mother).

Much funnier when mis-read as “but my broken six year old”...

The “polish scouting” video montage didn’t really impress me with his foot skills and passing as much his ability to read what the opponent is trying to do, so I’ll agree with those who say he’s big, good in the air, and has good “football smarts” but the passing on display in that video was either uncontested or not…

I think the biggest issue is that there are deadlines to get players (replacement or otherwise) registered with FIFA/IOC/USOC and into the doping protocol so that they’re cleared for the competition. It’s 35-players, which is not sufficient to give them the luxury of naming a full list of the usual suspects plus…

That answers my first question - is it common for labor agreements to be handled in this manner - via a MOU still basically “extending” the prior agreement, even 2+ years later?

Did he think he was working for Daniel Snyder?!? It’s not like Thompson (and Green Bay’s) reputation and tendencies are a new development.

The “publisher” I am associated with is in a similar boat. Except there is considerable discussion whether we should join YouTubeRed or if we should just consolidate distribution of videos to Facebook, Twitter and our site’s own native player.

I was thinking Saturday while watching the game that the two most likely candidates to be their Week 1 starting QB are Hackenberg or RGIII, and they should both be available without giving up a first round pick.

I believe based on NFL rules for roster moves during the postseason, they can’t cut him until after the Super Bowl.
