Unfortunately you are also female

The thing that has really galled Grassley this past week is that this is his committee and as the chair, he dictates what happens in its meetings and hearings.

They seem to cling to the Biblical/Samsonian (Samsonite?) notion that loss of hair is a sign of weakness.

This was a penalty. It probably isn’t a multi-game suspension for most guys, but as a repeat-offender, it’s gonna be excessive compared to this single offense in isolation. Not saying it shouldn’t, but that his reputation has outgrown a lot of his actual acts.

The letter goes on to point out that MLB players, even those who only appear on a major league roster for one day, are guaranteed health insurance for the rest of their lives. If baseball players are on a major league roster for 43 days, they are entitled to a lifelong pension. In the NFL, players only receive health…

I don’t have a problem with a vast majority of those being penalties. There are maybe five that I think were bad calls, probably because the ref making the call didn’t have an unobstructed sightline.

Bill Laimbeer. Bad Boy Pistons.

When you ask your barber for that hair cut, do you just say “I want to look like an asshole.”?

Say what you will about Skip Bayless, but his more successful brother makes a number of phenomenal Mexican dishes. If I had the means to do so, I would happily run up a Vince Young-style tab at one of his establishments.

In a January meeting detailed by AA...

I’ve seen happier.

I suspect it’s primarily a case of “we’ve got the cameras and the so-called ‘talent’, we’re editing hours of this shit anyhow across the national channels plus RSNs” combined with CPM rates for video ads being a lot more valuable than for display ads. So if you can get $30 CPM for video prerolls (and coordinated…

I read his statement as more of a self-promoting way to say to his market: “hey Miami/South Florida, you didn’t give me a handout but I stayed. you should buy tickets, buy merch, celebrate me as a great leader in the community (and give me all kinds of corporate welfare next time we bid to host a Super Bowl)”.

I don’t see “The NFL Management Council” just giving this over as long as marijuana remains a Schedule 1 controlled substance. They don’t want their “employees” being subject to federal crimes related to drug use and possession. They have enough concerns over the small percentage of players who get a lot of press for…

Noteworthy (and, really, the center of this dispute IMO) is that the highest-rated games are not ones for which the USSF is earning direct revenues. U.S. Soccer is not the rightsholder for the World Cup or Women’s World Cup - those are FIFA’s events. Same with the Olympics and the IOC/USOC. Gold Cup rightsholder is…

Not a fan of either team and I follow what you’re saying, but if you evaluate each as an independent decision based upon information available at that time, I can see how the 2017 actions by each team is being reported as having some merit.

I think you accidentally included the photo from the 2017 Dodge Sales Leaders of the Midwest conference.

Does anyone ever hear of establishments like Sharky’s Fun House in contexts where nobody is getting arrested?

The Texans believe that if J.J. Watt and Clowney are both healthy and Brian Cushing doesn’t get busted again for PEDs, they have the makings of one of those outstanding defenses. They could have the personnel on that side of the ball, but that’s a few “ifs” they’re relying upon.
