This year’s crop of free agents is not that great. The top 3 guys (Martinez, Darvish and Arrieta) all have age/injury concerns. I mean, if you could sign them for 3 years at 30 million per, teams would probably do it, but they (or Boras) want 5-8 year terms which historically have almost all turned out to be terrible…

Forget it, Jake

Aging players not being over paid is fine (though we can argue whether that’s what’s actually happening here). What’s not fine, however, is that they’ve had their salaries artificially suppressed for 7 years during their rookie and arbitration years. If you’re advocating for them not making that money up on the back…

America: more willing to believe a black man broke a rule than that a white man made a mistake.

Hanging the whole game on him not playing is a bit much. Missed FG, extra point, Brady not making that catch, Eagles gambling and winning. MAYBE he makes a crucial stop, but to say definitively NE wins with Butler is ridiculous

you’d definitely have seen butler get far more use if they were the old england patriots

Is she actually this dillusional?

You even unicyc, bro?

Yeah that dude seriously thinks the Warriors invented the idea of a bicycle.

Best thing I’ve ever read.

...You realize that’s a bike, right? How does that help her?

The Warriors plan to totally disrupt the halftime entertainer personal transportation market with their custom creation for Red Panda: A two-wheeled unicycle.

I’m not saying there won’t be people wearing Hernandez jerseys because there will probably be a few. But I’m betting they’ll be outnumbered by people wearing Riley Cooper jerseys.

True Patriots will stand for the flag on Super Bowl Sunday.

South Carolina certainly didn’t feel this interested in standing for the US flag a little over 150 years ago.

Tonight’s SOTU, in contrast, will be wrecked by the appearance of Brown Strawmen.

“I’m still waiting for Apple to come out with one because I might be desperate”

Ronda indicated that she will be retaining Edmund Tarverdyan to be her wrestling coach

I do think it’s a universal human trait that only a few overcome.

Our society loves to punish. Loves it. Punishment solves every problem. Punishment never fails, it can only be failed. Recidivism? Jail wasn’t punishing enough! Delinquency? These kids have been pampered, they should have been punished. Welfare? Obviously just lazy, poverty isn’t harsh enough, otherwise they’d work.
