I don’t know what scrapple is. But it terrifies me whenever I see it in the meat section at the supermarket. And when someone attempted to describe it to me.

This is exactly the opposite direction of the trend I want from the NFL. As a fan of “endurance football”, I want to see LONGER fields, dammit. Teams playing a game with a field a mile long. It’s preseason, anyway - no one cares, so let’s get crazy and chaotic in here. Mark off a mile-long rectangle of flat prairie in…

And people say Tom Brady is a troll.

As an American who has never been to a CFL game but did inexplicably receive TSN broadcasts on a local station for two summers, I agree completely. My experience was that the CFL is weirdly entertaining to an outsider, and I too want to see NFL players playing CFL ball.

Yes, and as we all know, every week of the season, CFL squads lose half their rosters to IR due to those damnable goalposts - or, as the locals call them, “the widowmakers.”

Sooooo .... why not just play on the CFL field as it is normally? “Oh no, the goalposts are not on the goal line - it wouldn’t be a true test for our field goal kickers. So instead, we’re gonna play on an 80-yard field.”

Their shirts featured a computer mouse with mouse ears, whiskers, and angry, angry rodent eyes. I remember it well all these years later.  Truly a triumph of small-budget marketing.

Here’s another minor league team with their version: “the Heat”. He’s like “the Fridge” in that he’s also fat, but he’s also different, in that he’s terrible at running.

Reportedly, he’s 8-5, and all the losses were intentional.

That ain’t no suit.

Assholes in media are all over the place. Still gotta be a professional about it. If it’s truly unethical behavior, then there are channels to take action - ranging from informal requests to the media outlet for a different reporter to taking out a restraining order.

Minority view: Doinks are awesome and an accomplishment that should be celebrated. I mean, c’mon. You’re talking about hitting a mid-air target a few inches wide from 40-50 yards down the field. Doinking a kick off the post is something that most kickers couldn’t do if they tried. Parkey managed to do it multiple…

Oh definitely. What’s your fanbase’s signature mental illness? For us Ravens, it’s retrograde amnesia - we don’t remember how bad Flacco was, how bad Trent Dilfer was, where Ray Lewis was that night, or where our entire franchise existed before 1995.

This was basically how my Little League named teams. The Lions (sponsored by local Lions Club chapter). The Pizzas (a Papa John’s). The News Eagles (local newspaper called The Eagle). The e-Cyberrats (sponsored by some computer repair shop).

I hope I never find out.

Counterpoint: The Bears couldn’t reach the end zone against a middling Eagles defense for three quarters. They could barely make field goal range. That’s a larger failure that is all about the Bears and Nagy himself, and nothing to do with Parkey. Parkey wasn’t the reason why the Bears could only score 9 points until…

Nagy and Parkey should just fuck already.

“The worm has turned” is a 16th century expression indicating that one who is normally docile and meek (like a worm) has been pushed just too far and now seeks retaliation and vengeance.

“Mt. Angier. You’re familiar with the phrase ‘Man’s reach exceeds his grasp’? It’s a lie. Man’s grasp exceeds his nerve!” 

Huh. So the thing is, Viagra could theoretically be a performance-enhancing substance (insert innuendo here) (hehe, insert). Because it’s a vasodilator that increases blood flow, athletes have taken it during competition under the theory that it will increase oxygen flow. It’s been used in endurance sports for that…
