I can’t blame Nelson for wanting to stay on one side. You saw what happened to the last Viking who was fond of the switch.

The Jeff Arnold Holtzclaw piece deserves its own category. It is the man amongst boys of bad sportswritering.

A nobody, an often-criticized afterthought on a team consisting of the game’s biggest star, injured early on and confined to the sidelines, some exciting young talent and some old dogs playing above their diminished skill level all led by an engineer-turned-journeyman manager, scores a ridiculous goal against the home…

Whether Stuttgart are back and performing well in the Bundesliga in a year or two, and whether the goals of Green are a key part in getting them there, is now a matter to a large extent in Green’s own hands.

All the reporters are talking about the Russia Hacks or the fainting episode or anything but the two solid minutes where Obama lambasted them for running with the hacked email narrative for 6 months then wondering why it was such a big deal.

It’s Friday, I’m barely working, and I have the time and the thick skin needed to throw out this statement:

You are missing the point of the article. The article itself even says they don’t care about the merits of Sherman’s argument. Instead it’s fascinating that such blatant insubordination comes and goes without a whisper from the higher ups. Especially in a league that is notoriously tyrannical.

There’s an army of self-serious football broadcasters and pundits that would have you believe a player publicly disagreeing with his coaches is an act of treason, and yet the Seahawks are over here with a cornerback who will argue with his head coach on the sideline, a receiver who will flip off his coordinator from…
