I think the reality is Blatter had to resign because he was directly implicated in a bribe. But the problem is all these countries that have benefited from his graft over the years want him to stay on. There is also no clear consensus on a successor since FIFA leadership has been decimated.

When I heard the news this morning, my first assumption was that the Feds didn’t have anything on him, and his arrest wasn’t imminent. He knows if it was a strong case they would be all over him if he changed his mind. So he feels safe for the time and would rather go to his castle at FIFA where he maintains a ring of

More likely: he’ll use his resignation as a bargaining chip when the walls begin to close in on him.

So the case that’s mounting against Sepp Blatter must be much stronger than we initially suspected, even after the Valcke email. The only reason he wouldn’t resign is to keep FIFA’s giant bureaucracy in play as a shield for himself.

No talking horse commercial.

I agree the words Cavs and Supporting Cast shouldn’t be used in the same sentence.

Hockey team misspelled, player misspelled, home city wrong, picture from wrong year, picture from wrong team, lousy picture of me from Facebook, I call BS that you have 280,000 Likes, Richard Jefferson isn’t looking at the ball or the man, hockey isn't a real sport anyway, I think Ultimate should be in the Olympics,

Naw, Everyone saw his D on Thursday. Its right where it belongs

It’s the weekend. The D team is in working. I work in television and am currently at work... oh fuck!

I assumed it was referring to the one on Kyrie Irving’s leg.

Two images of him, yet LeBron not appearing to flop in either. Well done, Photoshop.

There doesn’t appear to be a single empty seat in view at a Pistons home game.

There have been two OTs. 4 x 48 + 10 = 202

Two overtime games.

4 x 48 + 10 = 202. Games 1 and 2 went to OT.

No Tebow or Manziel headlines?

I read all this, and I’m afraid we’re gonna have to agree to disagree on our views of bank robbing. You sound quite proud of your work. Personally, I find it underwhelming. None of the few new facts you added here (even more time behind bars!) changes my view.

Like a stock art law firm logo. Just when you think this guy can’t get any worse...

Bingo. I mean if he’s offered a 3rd assistant job, you’d argue he should take it. But a boss like Steve Kerr and getting a ring is hard to do. Especially if you can always go get an assistant job elsewhere or Steve eventually elevates him anyway.

Which are mostly deflated by now.
