I kind of think the suggested “fixes” to the replay system ignores the obvious issue — the refs are terrible at making calls in real time in part because the rule book has become a bureaucratic quagmire and they’ve become too dependent on replay to intervene.

Honest question: Why would it be cruel to punish the students, even if they didn’t know?

As a journalism major, his attitude about this is very disturbing. He obviously had a major lapse in judgment and made a mistake by not disclosing his conflict.

“Homayoun Zadeh, 57, of Calabasas, California, is a professor of dentistry at USC’s Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry .... He is charged with paying bribes to get is daughter designated as a lacrosse recruit to facilitate her admission to USC” 

Not a local but have family in the area and I endorse the ferry ride and exploring the Kitsap Peninsula. Didn’t take the ferry to Bremerton, but the Bainbridge Island ferry was the West Seattle to Southworth ferry were both relaxing and had great views. Wanted to see more of the Peninsula as Poulsbo, Silverdale and…

I think the team has the option of asking for reimbursement of a signing bonus regardless of the reason why a player retires.

That seems to be the case here. When I first started running, I didn’t use any trackers or apps so I had no real sense of the distances I covered. There were so many times where I thought that I had run 4 to 5 miles but subsequently discovered that I barely covered 3 miles.

I don’t think a “salary floor” is a great idea. The way the system is set up, there are times when tanking is a legitimate strategy. It would be pointless to tell a team like the Kansas City Royals that they have to sign a bunch of veteran mid-level free agents just to cook the books and satisfy an artificial salary…

As a former sports reporter, I never understood the open locker rooms thing either. I NEVER wanted to go into a locker room. Bring the coach to the press room, then bring in the 3 to 4 players the media requested and be done with it. Locker rooms smell like shit after a game and with all the media swarming around, I…

I also seriously doubt he did that just based on the following:

I’m not sure if this is “campaign-ending” but I do think it means that she’s not winning the nomination.

I was going to read the article, but the excerpts about his desire to hit girls turned me off because this train of thought is just so fucking weird. Why are conservative white men so obsessed about hitting girls? I mean okay — I was never ever explicitly told that I shouldn’t hit girls, but I think boys can figure…

“ ... gross example of the overall problem with owners: an unwillingness to put their own money into the product to keep it working long-term.”

I saw someone suggest something like this in one of Keith Law’s chats and Law’s response was pretty much that both management and agents are strongly opposed to this. Teams love the fact that young talent is extremely cheap and don’t want to pay market rates voluntarily. Agents don’t want to give back money on the…

Why? Because they were shit in 2017, the program was in serious danger of becoming permanent shitty and he was the highest-rated recruit with the most stars brought in by the new savior head coach. He was also expelled from his high school for behavioral problems after he signed his LOI with Nebraska.

Exactly. She either knows that she plagiarized or she didn’t thoroughly vet those passages she farmed out to her assistant/intern and does not want to face a critical questioner because either way, she is going to have to admit that she fucked up which risks destroying any goodwill and credibility she might have from…

I tend to agree with this, but Poch says he wants to get in there ASAP, so let’s get it done. I mean, if fucking Levy won’t give him any players, at least give Poch a fucking ground to call home instead of this nomad Wembley shit.

Before the NFL/Raiders go to far down this path, perhaps it might be a good idea and wait until the Spurs actually play a match in a new stadium that was supposed to open in September 2018. And then in October 2018. And then before Christmas. And then before the end of January. And then in time for the Champions…

I simply don’t understand why conservatards are so anti-education. They hate colleges and advanced degrees. They hate science. They hate history. They hate the arts. They hate foreign languages. They hate culture.

Yeah, I think this fact gets lost in the all the noise when the media focuses on the financials. Yes, MLB is making a shitload of money and that should trickle down to the players. But why spend big on expensive veterans when the game has trended younger? It makes more sense for every team to gamble on a young, cheap…
