"Sure, I'll give it a try" - Shawne Merriman

I seriously don't remember Belichick ever challenging something that couldn't be challenged, and definitely don't remember him being penalized for doing so. Usually in that case the ref just has a discussion with the coach and encourages the coach to pick up the red flag.

Some serious credit is due here for making me laugh a non-guilty laugh in the comments of an article this sad.

I'm interested to read the whole paper when I have time, but I'm wondering if the simplest explanation is that women in more secular states are more likely to participate in sports, not that the sports cause women to become more secular.

Fort Lauderdale Airport isn't exactly the sort of airport which has flights coming and going at all hours... I'm surprised someone didn't notice that a guy had been in the airport for three straight days, especially if he was in the middle of some sort of mental break.

Oddly enough this triggered one of those "I'm getting old" moments for me. Players I watched get drafted when I was in high school are retiring now...

Imagine... the poor guy survives a career spent, in part, photographing war zones and disasters, lives through all that, only to die on a football field. RIP Dave Martin

Grafted onto Yasiel Puig's body?

Massachusetts law enforcement should really look into this. Aaron Hernandez is known to cause cavernous malformations in people's brains.

Pls go. Williams has been doing this against 8 and 9 man fronts because opposing teams have only one target to defend in the passing game, Alex Amidon (a/k/a Dollar-Store Wes Welker). BC's second leading receiver in yards has 140, and second leading receiver in receptions has 9. All defenses have to do to stop BC is…

Shall we begin (our enjoyable hotel stay)?

Go home Rhode Island, you're drunk.

I truly hope this joke is as well thought-out as it seems.

As long as they get this fixed by the time Chalupa Batman-McArthur is in the league, I'm not worried.
