It’d be a stretch to say Bradford sucks (provided he stays healthy) but he’s a far cry from someone of Harper’s caliber. That’s the problem - a much ballyhoo’d but not great football quarterback can out-earn an actual star in baseball (supposing Harper gets $30 million/year for ten years and the Cardinals pick up…

“Casion” in the second paragraph

Calling it now: 2019 is the 2016 of sports officiating.

All things considered, aside from the effects of mild tetrodotoxin poisoning, it’s  really crappy fish. But China’s trend seeking rich need something to blow their money on, so here we are.

This article could really use some pictures. 

The only solution is to make the lottery completely random. Yes, sometimes (1 year out of every 32, statistically speaking) that will go to the reigning champs. But what have we seen with the Warriors in the past couple of years? There’s nothing stopping a championship-caliber team from adding first-tier stars in the…

In Russia participating in oral sex, especially performing cunnilingus is often seen as weak and effeminate. I read a story not so long ago about a Russian gang whose rules included the expulsion by murder of any member actively or passively involved in oral sex, even with a woman.

By the letter of the law, yes, but a DA could choose not to prosecute, or a judge could dismiss charges if they were brought, given the extenuating circumstances. That said: this guy was clearly interested in something other than doing the right thing, so I’m okay with him going to jail.

I mean, they screwed him over, why shouldn’t he screw them over?

Honestly, though, not keeping receipts is way more engrained than not putting mayo on my french fries.

They should cancel NBA Finals this year and just have Golden State play the Harlem Globe Trotters in a series of barnstorming exhibition matches.

I wouldn’t trust the media either, and the Knicks situation (to say nothing of the Pelicans) is exactly why. The whole affair is an invention of sportswriters looking for rumors to base endless takes and scoops on. Which, okay, is what sportswriters do, I guess you can’t really be mad at them for that, any more than…

The right amount of time can only be determined retroactively. Judgy crap like in the article needs to be condemned.

I see you’ve never heard of “profits”.

It’s the same shit as everything else. You get into it when you’re young and broke, and then eventually you get older, have some dough, and can afford to pay aftermarket prices. So you do, and it becomes a commodity for speculation. And then, like all speculative commodities, people start getting into it just for the…

As a very wise person once told me, whatever else you may think about it, the idea that culture can be anyone’s property is infinitely more pernicious than white dudes with dreadlocks. 

NCAA is all about the money. Just not for the players.

This is only valid if you’re not going to be traveling to get to the damn thing in the first place (which I think was implied by the letter-writer?). If it’s across town, fine. Maybe even if it’s under an hour or so by car. But I’m not going all the way up to goddamn Boston or something just to say “Hey bro, welcome…

Also, his products won’t matter to anyone because he and Edelman will be too busy testifying in front of Congress about all the HGH they took.
