Just a quick note - SOME rugby players (the forwards) are huge, but the backs tend to be much more on the small and quick side. My brother started at fly half for his university at 5'8, 170.

That has to be a union thing.

"Snakeroot's Trimmer"?

I think most of the readership appreciates that you did so, trolls aside (I certainly did). Far too many people aren't willing to own up to their mistakes (Marcotte/Duke, Sharpton/Brawley, etc) and I like knowing I read a site with good writers who accept that they occasionally make mistakes.

Excellent article. This is the kind of well-written, well-researched material that makes me happy to come here for things other than Behind Closed Ovens.

I normally try to think the best of people, even stupid ones, but... KOSHER FUCKING HAM!?!?

Like all those bad habits Kevin Durant learned on shit Sonics and Thunder teams?

MCW's issue is that he either couldn't or wouldn't fix his jumper.

Not to mention it basically has the plot of a Michael Bay movie, explosions included.

Watkins played two years, but he was pretty terrible. One of those picks that helped kill the Andy Reid era.

I think he may have caught on in camp somewhere the third year, got cut, then gave it up.

Ah, you want Jezebel. It's right down the hall, to the left. Quite a bit to the left, actually.

What's the method for sending in stories? I've got somebody worth nominating for that.

They're probably not from the northeast. I hear people are more "considerate" elsewhere.

I was so impressed with their restraint. At that age me and my friends would've just destroyed all the windows.

More likely it's Winston's camp that doesn't want to be sullied by association with Goodell.

Oxford Comma is also my favorite Vampire Weekend song.

Yeah, I've never actually had Carlsberg over here, but I had it on tap in both the UK and Ireland, and it was a lot better than Heineken.

In fairness, it's Murray plus Kiko Alonso plus some million dollars of other players, instead of McCoy.

"Judge not, lest ye be judged."

Some day I want someone to say this to Judge Judy.

It's like the Sean Penn/Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu "Green card" joke controversy. Nobody's allowed to goof on their friends in public because their friendship is less important that some other asshole's feelings.

Kiko Alonso, Sam Bradford, Walter Thurmond and Ryan Mathews combined to play EIGHT games last year!
