Good for him. I hope he drags them to court if they withhold his salary. It’s his body and he should make the decision. If they were indeed going to bench him, it makes even more sense that he’d want to get the surgery done now. He could spend the next 2 months healing and rehabbing for next season, or spend it on the…

Brady’s case is exacerbated by the fact that he got genuinely fucked over by the NFL for deflating footballs.

Is it a stupid rule and a stupid fine? Yes. Was any other player in the league besides OBJ unable to follow that rule? No.

Yeah, gotta keep him from attempting the safest play imaginable and assuming he’d suffer a freak accident that has happened twice in the modern era. Totally reasonable position!

He had a bad leg from injuries that occurred during passing plays. The majority of quarterback injuries occur while dropping back to pass. Should the Chiefs not pass to avoid further injury?

In today’s NFL, who’s to say getting the slotted guaranteed money for the No. 2 overall pick and retiring to your native Hawaii as early as possible isn’t “success”? Go home, Marcus, and don’t look back. You’ll be 26 years old, rich, and local hero.

Floyd’s Owner: I-I-I never thought I’d survive. I totally screwed the pooch here.

This being high school, his friends would have told me that it doesn’t count if the first time he scored was in the other end.

on the one hand: awful, late-capitalist hellscape.

Gotta disagree. If he was the dealer, sure, but an addict sharing with another addict? Man, prison? How does that help? And don’t say deterrent please. I just have seen this up close before and chucking everyone in jail ain’t doing a thing that will help someone who may have gotten hooked on a doctors advice (that’s…

Doctors don’t prescribe cigarettes. Nobody is getting hooked on cigarettes because that carton of Marlboro Reds they were sent home with following surgery was just too good to stop using.

Probably wouldn’t be saying this if some PR guy died because you never would have heard of it.

Further perpetuation of the drug war is just silly. Criminalization of suppliers will do nothing more that pack prisons with people who need medical help, not punishment.

On one hand, you have the Chinese government who wants the ability to extradite residents of Hong Kong with no oversight. The same Chinese government that regularly disappears people in it’s custody, and is running literal concentration camps for ethnic minorities and political dissidents.

Are you paying attention, USA Gymnastics, USA Swimming, Taekwondo, USOC, etc etc etc? This is what you’re supposed to do when someone sexually assaults your athletes.

You can’t actually see the hand shake. And Mayfield does seem to wiggle his hands a bit at the end. It could easily be a hand slap rather than an actual shake.

Networks pay millions for ex-players to explain these things to viewers, and 99 times out of 100 it’s obvious the analyst just tries to wow the viewer with jargon from their playing days and fill the airtime with word salad. Watson is more helpful and succinct in that clip than any of them. Does CTE make them…

It’s a Burfict ending.

Sorry but isn’t pretty much anyone not named Landon Donovan that played for the USMNT be described as anonymous since most people won’t recognize who they are?
