Well. There’s two fewer threats on the road. If only every exploding police Crown Vic took the bad guy out with it.

They’re fine if Austin has to spot Chris Paul for five or six minutes. Five or six weeks, fuck no.

Texans are somehow leading the charge here. Not sure if that’s encouraging or what.

This is a heartwarming tale of ownership loyalty, but for Moroni’s sake, if the team is bound to stay there, can’t they come up with a less inappropriate name? Like the “Saints,” or the “Smiles,” or the “Mountain Meadows.”

A fein show of journalistic sleuthing, indeed.

“Missing those games was hard, but not as hard as it could have been. Going 3-1 really relieved some of that pressure. Helped keep me from getting too pumped up over it.”

The NFL has obvious rivalries because you play everyone in your division twice or thrice a year, but only face random other teams once every two or three. In the NBA, you play against everyone, every year, multiple times. And it’s pretty rare that two teams both make the finals in consecutive seasons. So, yes. Rivalry.

Any corner of Kinja that doesn’t just reblog Deep Thoughts by Nolan/Feinberg all day is worth a gander.

The Giants came within one PAT of being the fourth.

PLAYED IN A NBA GAME VS GOLDEN STATE

Prescott will start; Sanchez will play. Apparently Romo begged for a series or two in there somewhere and they’re giving it to him.

She’ll fit in just fine on the sidewalks of East Village.

I read it as “don’t fuck around needlessly.” If a real problem exists—as it does—hyperbole and fabrication cause more harm than good. The bare facts work well enough.

Yeah. The editor erred on giving shelter to the Gawker refugees.

I’ve tried. Didn’t work.

While we’re on the topic: Do they just instantly blow the play dead for every offsides/encroachment/neutral zone infraction? Is that a thing now? If so, I only noticed when it happened half a dozen times on MNF and again on Thursday. Aaron Rodgers and Bradford both seemed miffed that they were robbed of the…

Yeah, the guy jumped to try to deflect the pass, and had no choice but to put his hands on Bradford to keep from smacking helmets. Contact, yeah, not much of a “hit.” No idea what’s legal anymore.

I’m a naturally cynical person, but I can’t force myself to doubt the genuine altruism behind this gesture. The cynic in me is amazed enough that EA reacted to anything within 48 hours.

This is probably an article Grayson ought have added a disclosure notice to.
