What we learned from the Ray Rice incident is that in the NFLverse, video or it didn’t happen.

Your friends can only hold you back so much. 

Yeah, wringing to porn sounds painful. I mean, let the visual and the audio do the work. No need to do anything more complicated than the standard up and down stroke.

We should crowdfund a prize for the first winner to accept a “worst” award.

Have you looked at how the salaries break down? I haven’t seen the latest, latest figures, but take Roy Williams at North Carolina for example - his base pay is $2.1 million. The athletic department pays for less than half of that. Most of the rest comes from Nike and the school’s broadcast partners, and there’s…

Though her musician persona didn’t really “become” black until the “Fantasy” remix.  

Now they have Black Friday in the UK, which is... dumb? 

I went to Wiz vs Nets on Friday and holy shit the place is dead. You can feel the whole arena cringe when they settle for midrange jumpers or allow an easy offensive rebound, both of which happened way more than acceptable.

I think the issue was that the heavy black coat and jacket didn’t look like a girl who struggles.

That ranking and others like it don’t account for where the money comes from, and it’s almost always the booster clubs who foot the extra millions that put coaches on the list. Keep in mind, university hospital administrators are also big earners, and their budgets are also separate from the universities. 

Aren’t athletic department budgets separate from universities and coaches are generally paid by booster clubs?

YESSSSS I GET TO WATCH PEYTON MANNING AND SOME COUNTRY BRO SPIT SOME COPYWRITER-PENNED BANTER

I think the “well actually” take is that science of rockets is actually pretty simple, because it’s basic Newtonian physics. Building a rocket is the hard part, so yeah, rocket surgery I guess is difficult.

Though as a Liverpool fan, I know that with VAR in place the referee would’ve initially counted Mitrovic’s goal, checked the video and found that it’s too close to call even if Mitrovic’s shoulder was like an inch ahead of Robertson’s heel.

Are there two defenders between the attackers and the goal? Who is to say?

No no no, it’s much better if players surround the ref after every controversial call, with the occasional pushing and shoving, and nothing actually happening until the ref has finally shooed everyone away after not changing the call, and then manipulative managers like Mourinho and, previously, Wenger use isolated…

Yeah no:

You are a regional treasure, Dave.

Rocket surgery is... pretty easy?

See, I’m thinking it’s less workable in baseball because there’s no clock. No matter how badly a goalie does, he’ll eventually be saved by the buzzer. An amateur pitcher can face an infinite number of batters and fail to retire single one. Plus, the chance of injury might actually be higher for a weekend…
