My team is the Jacksonville Jaguars. According to city rules, I can watch them get picked up on Tuesdays and Fridays. Recycling also gets picked up on Fridays.

+1 for originality. You cleverly used “deflate” and “pumped up” when referencing the Patriots who were accused of “deflating balls” i.e. not having them “pumped up” enough! Brilliant! Whatever you make, tell your boss to double it.

I dunno. Depends.

Listen, if they wanted to know specifics about how things were run the person they should be talking to is the Specific Manager.

So this is kind of shitty, in that, yes, Hauschka missed the extra point, but in the grand scheme of things, it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. The Cardinals needed a field goal, they drove down against the Seahawks defense and scored that field goal.

I follow him on Twitter and he seems like a very good dude, but, jesus, someone at the Ringer needs to tell Shea Serrano “no” sometimes. Part of, I guess, what makes Simmons’ stuff good is that he basically just lets the writers write about whatever they want, but so, so much of Shea Serrano’s stuff is pointless.

The problem with The Ringer happened in it’s inception. When Simmons, Fennessy, Ryan, and Litman sat down to conceive the site, I feel like they fundamentally misread the marketplace. The idea that people want shorter, lighter, more disposable content to read on their phones might be true across the internet, but it’s

You might say Ready wasn’t...
