Any mention of the Colts and that train-wreck of a deal they did in the Trent Richardson trade reminds me of one of the all-time great fleece-jobs in NFL history, whereby the Vikings used their “Richardson picks” to get Matt Kalil, Jarius Wright and Robert Blanton, all for trading one first-round spot in that draft.

So, was it known or not known that Avery was alleged to have molested his nieces and nephews?

I attend an Eagles game about once per year when I’m in East Pennsylvania on business. Those fans are the absolute best AND absolute worst fans in the NFL.

Is the NBA’s reach really THAT goddamn big? I mean, if you’ve ever sat through a pitch to advertisers from NBC for this dreck, the audience they’re pitching isn’t exactly the violent gun-owner type, demographically speaking.

Do this, and be sure once you have that non-leader reference locked down, don’t be afraid to explain the relationship to the hiring manager. Ever. My experience has been that if you have a boss who can describe you as a dynamite charge, a colleague who can speak to your skills as a cohort, and even a customer or…

On his radio show after the occasional burr-in-the-saddle defeat of an often much more talented and higher-ranked Spartans team, the absolute undertone of ‘HA! I got Izzo a good one last weekend!’ in his comments was absolutely perfect.

Important to note in this context that Wisconsin wasn’t really a football school until the 1990s, which whether we like it or not as Badgers fans and alumni, says as much about the Alvarez era as a football coach and subsequently as AD on the isthmus as it says about any coaches - including Ryan and Mike Eaves.

That rowing is the only scholarship sport in the UK is absolutely astounding to me.

I was wearing my best suit today when I gathered up the fellas in the bullpen and reminded them that as of 7pm and through whenever the cabs arrive to ferry everyone safely home tonight, hands-off-the-interns policy is in effect and expected to be ASTUTELY observed.

There were all kinds of aggravated assault and burglary and similar charges, by which the grand jury decided there was adequate evidence to charge, but evidence presented at trial did not persuade jury to a guilty verdict. Not at all unusual in criminal trials with multiple victims.

Sugar, or things that are sweet? I kind of get intolerance for sweetness - I’m not much for sweet-tasting foods, either - but EVERYTHING has sugar in it. If your issue is the actual chemical compound of sugar, that’s a whole different distinction.

Yep. Guns probably started this whole goddamn thing. You know, because guns.

I was a college-age gym-rat weight-lifting meathead when STP’s first album came out - and this was long LONG before iPod playlists, so I remember fellow meathead iron-pumpers and I taking turns skipping over the lighter songs on the Core compact disc between sets.

Not how this works at all among these operators. Wait - are your friends Bradley Cooper in Eastwood’s Valentine to the SEALs?

Look - he played his college ball at UW and I’m an enormous homer, but it takes a special kind of player branding to make Brian Fucking Cushing seem like the lesser of two asshats on the same defense.

And is Illinois at all in the boat with a lot of colleges running athletic departments at a comparable financial deficit - like where they can’t fire this guy and hire a coach at a higher salary, continue to have a shaky revenue stream, and go to the state legislature with a straight face asking for funding for stuff…

This is the guy that made the movies with Farrah Abraham?

Dirty. As. FUCK.

OF COURSE they are.

For the ten-thousandth time, discharging the sidearm is defined as use of lethal force by every law enforcement agency in the country. They don’t Murtaugh susupects and question them later.
