You also have to realize that part of the reason he gets these uncontested little drives with so much open space is because people are falling all over the place to overplay the perimeter. There’s an element of your comment which is a bit like saying, “I hate how open those Princeton backdoor cutters are when they get…

It’s almost like Deadspin had nothing to do with making one woman’s letter to the editor a national news story...

Let’s take it even further: because one stupid person in Tennessee writes a letter.

Sorry, is it actually the case that MC does know JLo? Presumably she knows who JLo is, but why does we have to assume she knows her enough to comment about her?

You mean if Woods’ reign at the top was winning three-straight Shell Houston Opens with one Greenbrier Class mixed in?

They're talking about the EA curse, one. Two, as much as I like RR, it's good to reality heck ourselves that someone who starts 12-0 in an emerging sport may not actually be the greatest female athlete of all time.

The stupid thing to do would have been to keep those roster spots open for Deuce— who absolutely didn’t need to play against such minnows, thanks very much Landon Donovan. The cap tying is huge.

So we’re going to pretend that he hasn’t won UEFA (with Porto no less!), as well as titles in the EPL, Serie A and La Liga? This is to say nothing of all the league and domestic cups.

You forget the ultimate golden goose, increased interest in the UK (and there is a surprisingly high interest in the NFL) increases the value of the NFL contract in one of the world’s largest media markets... which also happens to be the only major country outside North America that has any real interest in American…

It’s because there are actually a ton of dedicated NFL fans in London, but they have existing team allegiances. It’s the opposite of your girlfriend gambling on the NFL, it’s that the guy in the Packers jersey follows the Packers and he isn’t about to put on a Bills or Jags shirt for the purposes of broadcast…

Duda is the ultimate Moneyball player. Terrible defense, horrible batting average, strikes out all the time but gets walks and home runs.

The Royals were the better team in this series, but egad did the Mets just pull some Metsy nonsense. You cannot blow three saves and make the kind of fielding and base-running errors the Mets did and still expect to have a shot. Maybe the Royals still win it all, but the Mets’ incompetence is what made this such a…

Unfortunately there’s no such thing as “the next day" anymore

Is there a dumber rule in sports? The NFL is like the IRS of sports.

It would be great if football were more of a player’s game as opposed to a chess match between fat guys in skyboxes. Then you wouldn’t need the nonsense of helmet-mics.

Why does that even have to be done? If a guy is lined up in an eligible position, why can’t he just be eligible? Defenders (or the coordinators who speak into defensive captain’s helmet mics) should be responsible for recognizing such things.

I’m fine with holding them accountable for their fudges. My only point is that it’s nowhere close to what the NFL did for years as far as orders of magnitude. Sure, no one likes autoplay, but for years the NFL would say oh, well, we have a broadcast partner in Germany, there are 60 million people with access to…

Not to mention, the game was at 9:30 am.

What a country we have: raping a family member while brandishing a knife and kidnapping her (through tying her up) gives you a significantly smaller jail sentence than selling two viles of crack. SMH

I’d argue that the bigger change is accountability. I don’t want to come off as an anti-union grump, because I’m not, but you cannot talk about this problem without addressing the fact that it’s almost impossible for municipal leadership to fire a police officer for misconduct. The knowledge of that in the minds of…
