How about “All of the above, and Concussion-gate.” I like the fantasy angle— the goose that laid the golden egg, with the egg-laying eventually killing the goose. But the number of people hauled off the field today in your own story links just underlines how the league got caught pretending they weren’t turning brains…

Nice piece. I remember the byline, and the hubbub over locker rooms. Sad way to go.

“David Lloyd, a Marine in a nearby mortar bunker, rushed to the scene, took off his web belt and tied it around one of Cleland’s legs to control bleeding.^[6] When the medics arrived, Lloyd left to help another injured soldier – one of the two who had gotten off the helicopter with Cleland.

Typo — “Never HEARD” not “hard” her...

Sorry, Blackadders, the sketch had a moment or three. Your “deplorables” are as funny as ours.

No, it’s not analogous to the death of Gawker. Stop it.

Do the old “Top Gear” thing. Have a forensic pathologist go over the car in search of evidence of bodily abuse. You know, as a going away present for Munro.

I would say his range was far more limited than you acknowledge. My most vivid Enberg moments were him covering sports that he’d not really mastered, or even tried to — deferring to Packer/McGuire in college hoops, basically moderating the panel there. Tennis? Widely mocked his first few years of doing that. “Nice…

Good that it works, worrying that we’re going to need it to work.

Assad needed “to go” then, needs to go more than ever now. His lingering Russian backed genocide is emboldening the drunken dead-enders from Moscow into a return to brinkmanship. Track Assad, pinpoint him. Take him out, wee hours of election night, while the Russians are distracted trying to give Trump the White…

Sanders, Lieberman, Goldman Sachs, NPR...THOSE people.

#blackmannersmatter. Or don’t, I guess.

Tampa Bay, if nobody else has noted that. Lots of these guys down here, on any major highway on a Sunday morning, popping wheelies through traffic, weaving, cutting you off. Amazing she didn’t shoot one of them. It’s Florida, and that’s “Stand Your Ground” in a nutshell.

The problem went back to casting. An obvious miss, on the producers’ part, was not mixing up the demographics — age, race maybe, diverse interests, but especially age. It’s what the Britfolk figured out when they brought in James May. These guys are all 30ish dolts, with no experience of the world outside of cars.…

Officiating basketball ought to be done by technology the moment technology is able to do it. Arbitrary, as subjective as calling balls and strikes and all the infractions you can see in any given NFL play. Lin may have a point, but every game you watch is full of these imbalanced blurts (got to call it FAST, gut…

Exactly. And the fact that the NCAA will “conveniently” get around to “wrapping up” an investigation that was pretty far down the road in Oct...OF 2014... within days, makes the NCAA the REAL sham here. America’s FIFA. They let them play in a tournament for the championship, through cheating. And then “vacate the…

What? You’re skipping past the corrupt-beyond-measure NCAA’s letting Carolina play in and win a national championship which they’ve already ordained will be vacated before Baseball’s All-Star break? Yeah, thank God. And Park. And the Twins. For baseball.

Comb your hair out of your eyes and consider that trolling or not, you are intentionally missing the point. The point is your reach should exceed your grasp, which even a thicky like Rudy figures out in the end. He aims for something he will never achieve, and gets a Notre Dame degree and eventually a movie made about…

Yeah, and they lionize Valvano, too. Modesty becomes cheaters. http://www.thestate.com/sports/college…

Von Miller “fined” for farting during rehearsals. Constantly. Antonio Brown can’t keep it down. During rehearsals. Way to represent, Men of Color. Stay classy, NFL.
