A white dude in a Rasta hat and a fake sport with a Hall of Fame. America, what the fuck are we doing here?

“They’ll probably just call themselves national champs anyways”

You, also, must be fun at parties.

I appreciate the “closest thing we have to a decent man” sentiment here.

What say you, unabashed meat eaters, WHAT SAY YOU?

How can you be that thin-skinned when you’re a career 55% free throw shooter?  

Here’s my theory, worth what you paid for it: these days, a greater portion of USAen wealth is inherited. Some heirs are smart, but a lot of them are nitwits—which leads to a greater percentage of capital being commanded by people incapable of tying their shoes.

Leah Remini can ad a class on how to career-market around that condition.

Yeah. There was a defensive guy, I think, who also had five Super Bowl rings with two different franchises.

Didn’t Brady already have the most Super Bowl wins of any QB?

Bring your boxing gloves.  Goldfinger would like to have a word with you.

Pretty sure The League did a bit on this exact thing.  

Baseball is irrelevant to the discussion. We have a field of work. Assume the writer is correct. 2 best players ever. Does this mean they deserve the highest salaries? No.

How many recent World Series champions featured Manny Machado and/or Bryce…

“ a ten-year deal to either of them would provide more than enough value in return to whichever franchise decides to bring them in.”

Playing baseball for five months doesn’t mean you DESERVE 300 million dollars. No one playing sports deserves that, the owners are being smarter and not falling for their agents bullshit. I was saying this a long time ago.

In fair Vasdeferens, where we lay our scene.

this is an excellent comment

I’ve read a lot of things about this incident these last couple of days.  I like yours the best. Thank you.
