The NCAA forbade the school from calling an ambulance for him until they could satisfactorily prove he wasn’t an athlete getting a free ride to the hospital.

Yeah, tip inflation is ridiculous. I remember when 10% was standard and 15% was generous. Then it was apparently decided that 15% was standard; now in the last 15 years 15% has become stingy and 20% is considered standard; I’ll bet my next bar tab that by 2022 25% will be standard. Why? It’s not really clear -…

If I heard the entire Duke athletic program died of smallpox, I’d question the wisdom of trying to eradicate the disease in the first place.

I feel this also every time there’s outrage about white washing, which for some reason always seems to fall most heavily on the actor taking the part, rather than on the director, producers, and executives responsible for that decision being made in the first place. Of course, the studios are happy to have it that way…

Easier solution: do away with a record-based draft lottery, so everyone has an equal shot at #1. Roughly one year in 30 you get a championship team getting the top pick, which seems like a small price to pay for removing any incentive for tanking.

Too much of the NBA regular season is unwatchable, though - when the sports bubble bursts it’s probably going to start with basketball because of that.

He also blew a 3-1 lead in the finals...

That’s a suit jacket, not a blazer.

It’s funny, you acting like they’re going to turn it around and make it to Qatar.

What I was is for them to not be ugly. The blue ones are okay, but the white ones fail that test.

Anyone who says esports aren’t real sports should take a look at these documents. Just as much exploitive bullshit as the big four sports leagues!

“If my employer doesn’t treat me like shit they’ll go out of business!”

Even if it was “your people”, would it really be worth it to argue over fine details of language on one of the rare occasions when a white billionaire is willing to come out in support of protests by a beleaguered minority community? If you’d rather have sports PR departments stick to generic non-statements in regards…

People are always like, “But Tiger’s a jerk!” However, what we’ve learned in the past 5 years is that everyone else in the tournament circuit is an even bigger jerk, and charmless ones at that.

Topologically speaking, a straw is a coffee cup.

Forget all that, just remember this: Jordan has 10 scoring titles. That puts him in pretty rare company: Babe Ruth lead baseball in home runs in 10 seasons. Wayne Gretzy led the NHL in points 11 times. That’s pretty much it.

Oh, look, another piece of the Congress is a Bunch of Shitbirds Acts, also known as “all of them”.

It depends on the year. There aren’t always this many good QBs to draft, and even promising QBs flake out at a pretty high rates - whereas running backs tend to be known quantities. So I can totally buy a team picking an RB in the top four sometimes. Maybe not this one, but sometimes.

Are you kidding? He’s the Chilean Greg Louganis.

Steven Seagal’s martial arts skills are widely acknowledged to be a joke.
