That is such a weird but spiritually satisfying stat I had to go look it up.

Poor dude's only seen 27 championships.

Let’s remember some guys

Still suffering major knee damage? Colin Kaepernick. 

Watching the o-lineman forced to act like a human stretcher when Mahomes couldn’t get up was a strange experience. He seemed to take it alright. 

Don’t be pedantic. If Silver wanted the guy fired, he would have been ended up fired, or at least suspended or had some punishment imposed. There is lots of soft power in situations like this. Morey didn’t get punished because Silver didn’t think a punishment was appropriate here.

The point being made by a lot of…

I don’t know, risking a billion and a half dollars to prove you’re not China’s stooge kind of shows that you are not China’s stooge. Anyway, it would be nice if the President of the United States showed an ounce of concern for Americans being threatened with getting fired because a foreign government took issue with a…

Didn’t see the game, but I’ll just assume Michael Bradley played.

Season 1 was uneven, but the episode where we get to see the world through Sissy Spacek/ Ruths eyes was one of the most sad, touching, beautiful hours of television i have ever seen.

It’s just more proof that we’re all dumb for watching. This was a particularly egregious example of shitty calls, but there’s shitty calls in every game. This one certainly sucks, but the Lions didn’t do themselves any favors with their miserable red zone performance, and maybe the most Lions thing ever, the 12-men…

Matt, look on the bright side...I’m sure this feels better than being up 28-3 once.

False equivalencies all over the place in this thread. Neither football or boxing is safe. Arguing that one is safer based on a comparison to the other is pointless.

Boxing’s ultimate goal is in fact to deliver a brain injury to the opponent, euphemistically called a “knockout”. Adding thick, padded boxing gloves…

When I was in my peak physical shape as a 19-year-old college soccer player, I ran a lot, and occasionally I’d run a single mile as fast as I could, which was a damn near sprint. I always wanted to break five minutes, but the fasted I ever got was 5:06. I can’t imagine a single 4:34 mile, let alone 26 of them in a…

The only way I could cover a mile in 4:34 is if you threw me out of an airplane and measured my pace to the ground.

I hate to be that guy, but the two hour marathon is not the most elusive distance running barrier. The one hour marathon is.

Yes, really. The point of choosing this course, of getting together a team to give him favorable conditions that are all but categorically impossible in an open race, intentionally creating better-than-ideal conditions is to see if, even under those constraints, a marathon under 2 hours was at all possible. When you…

Yes, really. 

It was a private account, and she’d only granted access to people she considered trustworthy friends. This would be like someone sharing information from a group chat among friends and family, and then you coming along and saying “wELl tHeN yOu sHoUlDn’T hAvE cONveRsAtiOnS wITh pEoPlE yOu tRuSt!!”

Eh, posting things to a locked, private social media account restricted to trusted friends and family is not meaningfully different from sending an email to a private mailing list, or just talking to a group of close associates around a dinner table. It’s fine to expect those people to keep what they hear private, and…

That looked superscary and you could feel the concern from the Steelers. Hell, I can’t think of that many MMA fights where it took that long for someone to be moving about after the knockout. And even Rudolph got up, he couldn’t walk without two guys supporting him.
