And now, a joke. A Utah farmer dies and goes to heaven, where he is turned away for his sinful life and sent to hell. The Devil greets the farmer in hell “Welcome you sinful bastard, to hell! As punishment, you shall now work this barren patch of land for all of eternity in the blazing heat!” The devil then leaves the…

I’m confused. So it sounds like they’ll still pay more in property taxes, just... less more if the value goes up by a lot? I’m so confused.

The Jazz currently pay about $1 million per year in property taxes for the Miller-owned Vivint Arena, which sits on city-owned land. If the value of the building increases — and they anticipate it will by a lot — the city will incrementally reimburse the franchise 40 percent of the tax increase. The other 60 percent…

People like this now, but in a decade, when they become the NBA’s smug version of the Packers, you’ll all change your tune.

I wouldn’t have any problem with the family selling and making a profit (although this move is great!), and I wouldn’t have any real problem with a new owner moving the team to make more money. That’s capitalism.

What I DO have a problem with is owners expecting the public to finance their fucking vanity projects.

Well, did the officer comply with his demands or not?

In his SI column on the show’s cancellation, Deitsch places it in the lineage of the sports-arguing shows that came later, like First Take, Pardon the Interruption, Around the Horn, All Takes Matter, and whatever all the other shows are in which sports idiots very loudly pretend to disagree each other.

Yeah, that #135 draft selection behind seven other quarterbacks should tell you exactly how much teams value Senior Bowl performances in choosing which QB to draft where.

“Why isn’t this guy who is a potential number 1 draft pick and consequently FINALLY going to start getting paid for all the risks he takes willing to play one more meaningless unpaid game and run the chance of getting injured and damaging his draft stock for no reason whatsoever beyond a handful of jackass pundits…

“Browns asked Deshaun to play in Senior Bowl”

Deshaun: “Wait, I can not only get out of this stupid game but also piss off the team I don’t want to draft me?”

Also, who the hell tweets MMQB quotes of Peter King’s moralizing scolding?

This is my favorite yearly non-controversy. When was the last time a potential No. 1 QB played in the Senior Bowl? Shit, most usually skip the combine, too. It’s amazing that players who just spent the last 3-4 years not getting paid for this bullshit are still expected to go through some more unpaid bullshit prior to…

If his defiance convinces the Browns not to draft him, it’s the best career decision anyone’s made, ever.

This post is offensive to open boxcars.

Being a teenager in the 90s, this show conjures up memories of getting out of going to church only to find that this is the only thing worth watching on tv.

I don’t know about you guys, but I couldn’t wait to get tediously lectured through the TV by the author of Tuesdays with Morrie every Sunday morning.

I’m more freaked out by his transformation into a white-haired skeleton.

Digging through garbage is good experience for coaching in Washington.

Washington football: the open boxcar of the NFL.

Aikman’s not so bad. He’s a bit of homer during Cowboys games (well, duh), but he usually has some interesting insights and his voice is infinitely easier to listen to than Collinsworth’s terrible Bea Arthur impression.

It’s twice as awkward to ask about the whereabouts of a man named Roger in a place that can’t pronounce the letter R.
