I feel like soccer players have mostly stopped the whole “kick the ball out of bounds when someone is hurt” thing. It seems like every premier league game, at least, you’ll have some dude writhing around on the ground (sometimes fake, sometimes not) while action continues. This one was kind of unusual, but it’s still…

College basketball and football ALREADY have a massive problem with co-workers being paid disparate salaries. You would be hard pressed to find another workplace in America with a greater income gap between a manager and his/her direct reports.

Someone find a way to show this to MJ and record his reaponse.

That’s the part that blew me away. I did not know there were so many twitchy sleeping maniacs

Punking the Olympics is at least fine. if not awesome.

So the details in your last paragraph argue why NONE of us should feel bad for him. He’s a multimillionaire who was a central figure in one of the greatest sports stories of, you know, ALL TIME. The dream has already been reality.

It’s pretty great to see a bunch of dipshits who attend golf tournaments get all pissy

“i cannot believe i paid 800 dollars to watch an hours long game of grab ass and came away disappointed.”

Fultz is guaranteed to make 15 million dollars even if he never shoots better than an old man at the Y.

Whatever they do, it should apply only in the playoffs when the games matter

so these guys just figured out James Harrison is an asshole?

I mean....there are thousands and thousands of college athletes currently playing sports in tiny American villages with no death museum and no paycheck.

Probably the punter and and place kicker just back each other up most of the time?

It’s an amazingly unique thing because it seems contrived, but is just borne of necessity. I think that in the NFL, the rosters are so big that the backup place kicker is usually just someone else on the team. Even someone unexpected:

Shouldn’t the NCAA be particularly worried about losing non-NBA prospects? Those are the players who actually stand to come out way ahead financially by totally bailing on college basketball. And college basketball needs those guys.

What if Costa Rica is actually a good team. Then that group is certainly frisky

Lead singer of Godsmack really went to shit

Imagine having a very predicatable NFL in-game experience. Imagine it!

To be fair, I imagine it is very hard to assess a blank-faced robot for possible brain injuries.

I was trying to remember all the stuff you mentioned. But my only memories from the game are pitchers ambling in from the bullpen, catchers walking to the mound and commercials.
