That is pretty much true for every field on the planet. the best analysts of X are employed and making money at X. Those that give analysis through the media etc, are going to be the second tier and lower people because that pays less.

I agree he is my favorite non-Blues player.

You might be right on the Favre thing, you are definitely right on dealing with Packers fans from MN thing. Sadly my best friend growing up was one of those folks.

I know a few folks that have been fired after being arrested even if the charges were later dropped. As someone else pointed out employment at will means they can fire you any time they want for any reason they want or even no reason at all.

It might just be the Favre is and always will be a Packer thing but none of the Vikes fans I know were real excited about the 2009 team, I mean I cheered for them I wanted them to win of course, but there was never the excitement there was in 98, maybe it was an age thing but I was 23 in 98 so not a kid, but in…

Peterson does not fumble a lot in general, but he does fumble a lot in critical situations, see the 2009 NFC championship and the playoff game against Seattle a couple years back.

As someone who watched the Superbowl comeback clutching the Randy Moss Vikings jersey I bought in 1998, I have to side with the Saints fans on the Superbowl 51 thing, it will never not make me smile.

Hockey upsets happen a lot because of the structure of the sport though, for non-goalies no player has near the impact of an NBA star, NHL stars play at most 1/2 the game while an NBA Star can play 90 percent of one easy.

I have always thought it was the water vessel pronunciation. Though to be fair I never considered the volcano possibility til you mentioned it.

Congrats on being the first upset fan post. Usually it happens on the first article every season but this year we had to wait but you made the wait worthwhile.

Mostly because Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England don’t really like each other that much but mainly remain together as a nation because it would be a huge headache for all involved to be truly independent of each other so they go the more expeident route of maintaining sport independance, including…

Sorry for the tone of my comment i was going for jovial hyperbole but the text does not express that tone well and too much time has passed for me to edit.

I weep that you are employed if you could not figure out from the title of the article that the content would not be work safe. This is Deadspin, and for this site that title pretty much guarantees there will be a pic of porn in it. Learn some discretion man(or woman), and save clinking this headline til you get home.

Have no fear there is a Marchman post about White Sox concession prices up.

Yes the US will be in the World Cup unless something truly unlikely and bizarre happens.

Yes we made the knock out round the last to world cups, Our total record from those cups is 2 wins 4 draws and 2 loses. While I would not say we suck with a .500 record I don’t think we can claim to be anything past mediocre either.

You really hit the nail on the head for what the problem for MLS is, quality of play. I don’t watch MLS never really have but I enjoy soccer so when this year when Fox would have the Bundesliga on followed by an MLS match I would leave the channel on can give MLS a shot, in three tries i never made it to halftime…

I think that is the big reason Pacers went with the Thunders offer, Oladipo will sell a boat load of tickets in Indiana and will make a lot of Hosiers fans happy while the team pulls the rebuild.

Or gotten it one of the dozens of ways any identity thief gets it.

I am amazed anyone would want the GM of the Cavs job.
