Everytime I hear people get on The Washington football team, I always think about Compton High. It really is shocking.

Sarascm about to follow: Nope nothing wrong with that.

The only thing I missed was the “truth and rumor” section. That was awesome reading just because it was taking the best of local beat writers. But, yeah, got over it pretty easy.

The probable work comp costs would make it a losing venture.

The NFL won’t do a minor league because it is far more profitable for the players to get injured playing in the NFL and the next man up approach than to have someone get injured in minor league and never play for the team. While it makes sense, the NFL knows that when a 53 man roster is plagued by injuries, it is FAR…

When they went to that horrible redesign, I sent them an email saying I would never visit cnnsi.com again. I got a response that was basically a “yes you will.” I never did and I treat this as my own victory.

So a consumer drops $70k or more on a car, and is in essence a possible crash test dummy (based on def. of beta) and yet not one Congressional inquiry? Why is Nader's Crusaders not going ballistic on this?

Yeah confidentiality is worth an additional 10-15k per person IMO so this was a case that settled for a shockingly low amount.

This was a cost of defense settlement. $200k per plaintiff is nothing. You can get more for a torn rotator cuff

I would say this was a huge victory for UT. $200k or a little more per plaintiff after attorney fees is a pittance. This was a cost of defense settlement.

I will not disagree with anyone’s belief on the GOAT. To some it is Lebron, and there are many valid reasons why one would think that. Others would naturally think MJ is. Again plenty of reasons why he is the GOAT. Still to an older generation, there is no way you could convince them that Bill Russell is not the GOAT.…

He will play. He will report when he will get credit for the season and then will collect his prorata money. This is the lamest holdout of all-time. Everyone knows he is going to get PAID, it just is the way the game is played.

Thank you for this series. amazing how the bridesmaid of the 90s (Indian) had two lucky games against the Bulls. So close for them, yet so far. I don’t know who would win between Golden State and Chicago. The Bulls played in a league that was far more scrum oriented than today....yet today’s athletes I feel are far…

Basically what Briles has done is what needs to happen in this case. Originally he would have received a Reservation of Rights letter from Baylor. In which Baylor agrees to indemnify and defend him, basically pay his portion of the liability. However they would have, already have, or purposefully (thwart wrongful…

I found this on the “hot links section of Deadspin. I see your point, but in the interest of fairness did you do an article with the top recipients of Bloomberg’s group and the other legion of anti-gun (pro-gun regulations) organizations? It seems disingenuous to insinuate these are shills for one side without…

Briles will settle relatively shortly, for a nominal sum. This will allow them to have an empty chair defendant where the defense might be able to pass blame on Briles (if a judge allows) but more than likely allows for the deep pocket to be forced to pay a larger share of their liability.

Ok Tom, this is not a story. In fact Mr. Briles had to make a motion like this in order to get his own attorney. Since he and Baylor were named in the lawsuit, and he was employed by Baylor, the University would have issued him a reservation of rights letter. Stating they will indemnify and defend him, unless his…

Well don’t get injured with a broken leg when you become an RFA. While the NFL doesn’t care hat much about he concep of pay for past performance, I think in this case he Jets are being cap smart by not signing him o a longterm deal.

Yes, but when parents are giving me one of their vehicles makes more sense not to buy something

Can you help me understand why? My parents are going to be gifting me either an RX or a fully loaded Prius. I am shockingly torn between the two. I was leaning toward the RX, but then I do drive 40 miles one way to work.
