“Peppermint Roll” is a literal LOL gem, but the Raysism comment you linked is the best comment I’ve ever seen on Deadspin.

Of course, at the time, many of us were a bunch of preteens and teens giddy about the prospect of getting close to the famous R&B singer, which is, of course the perfect recipe for a fucking predator to bank on.

That’s game, apparently.

The reference to (now 11-1) USF as “underrated” is probably my favorite thing that I’ve ever read on this site.

Finally, an article about the HoF by someone who’s read The Politics of Glory (the first edition had the better title). Thanks.

You’re so right. God forbid I engage with other human beings, even remotely through a medium such as this one.

Can someone cite the rule that disallows this goal? I was of the impression that in virtually every sport, officials are considered to be part of the field of play, and thus any rebounds off said officials are live and in play.

Judging from the clip above, what they need is to surround Stafford with better blockers.

This is a Boylen-hot take.

USF has also postponed its basketball game against Arizona State, makeup date/time TBD.

While Carmelo Anthony has obviously fallen off hard from the all-star level he was playing at two years ago, he can still at least score at an NBA level.

Great link; much appreciated.

It’s not even a labor-related tweet, which makes it funny that people wants to take offense to it from a labor perspective. Maybe they should go read the essay in one of the ’80s annuals (IIRC, he was responding to something Marge Schott had said about baseball being a business, not a game) in which he wrote…

But James never (to my knowledge) said Rose didn’t bet on baseball. He said — after a very thorough fisking — that there wasn’t enough evidence in the Dowd report to draw that conclusion, which is a different statement.

I’d love to hear what you think he’s wrong about. I thought pretty much everything in that book was spot-on.
