This has to be malicious contact (HS rule) and an ejection on the runner. Apparently the defensive team’s head coach didn’t even come out to argue.

My wife and I were driving by the Hollywood Bowl last September and talked about maybe going to see the headliner that night. We decided to push through to home instead (we had been out in the IE all day), deciding that we’d have plenty of opportunity to see him play in the future.

I had an opportunity to go to Mark Buehrle’s perfect game back in 2009 (was offered a ticket in the 100 level, free of charge), but I chose to go to a golf outing instead. I had no idea what was actually going on (didn’t pay attention to the game at all while I was on the course) until one of the other guys in the…

Not quite - Cain would have been the legal occupant of 2nd only if Yelich was not in contact with the base. Yelich’s right to second supersedes Cain’s right to second. If it were a force play, then the reverse would be true and your statement “Yelich’s only safe place would be third” would be correct.

Nitpick - Hoskins was credited with the strikeout only because he was replaced with two strikes. With any other amount of strikes, all results go on the pinch-hitter’s record.

The carrot cake cookie sandwiches are #1. Everything else is unnecessary.

In the NCAA, a sequence can be reviewed for a potential major penalty or game misconduct. This seems to have worked out well, especially this past year, so I’m surprised there hasn’t been more talk about this at the NHL level.

It was tons better when it was Hamilton’s. Now it’s just your random shithole.

Don’t worry, Shuster already took care of it.

5 yard penalty for bad throwing form. You should throw it by the weight, not by the loose fabric.

Are we sure this selection wasn’t just hacked by some people trying to troll this selection, a la “Boaty McBoatface”?

It pretty much is! We (and by we, I mean football officials) get video clips like this every week, and we break them down to figure out exactly what happened - except, thankfully, we get more than two chances to watch the video.

In most cases, you’re absolutely right - a forward fumble out of bounds is returned to the spot of the fumble in possession of the offense. The ruling here, however, is an exception to that - a forward fumble, unrecovered, that goes out of bounds in the endzone, is ruled on based on who is responsible for putting the…

I see what you’re getting at, but by the letter of the law, it is a fumble. From the rule book:

This is a correct call. Once the player in possession loses control of the ball, it is a fumble. The standard for recovery of a fumble is the same as a catch - in the NFL, that is two feet or one non-foot body part down in the field of play, and control of the ball through contact with the ground if the player is…

+1's are for closers.

When he was hired, I thought that the BCS bowl that OSU went to in 2000-01 was high on the list of reasons, but he didn’t even do that - that was Dennis Erickson while Riley was coaching the Chargers.

Tennis brackets aren’t drawn the same way other brackets are drawn. Only #1 and #2 are guaranteed to be on opposite sides of the bracket. 3-4 are randomly drawn to positions opposite 1 and 2 on their respective sides of the bracket, then 5-8, 9-16, and 17-32. It’s done so that if seeds hold, the top 2 will meet in the…

This is not so much Brian Kelly making excuses for himself as it is giving the ND administration a somewhat-veiled shot across the bow. If he was doing any fundraising, it wasn’t because he wanted to, it was because the powers that be in development (and possibly head administration) told him he had to.
