Yes, it is. You’re intentionally creating a situation that is impossible (not difficult, but impossible) to defend or even properly officiate.

You can’t control injuries or the weather. You can enforce behaviors.

Simply put, yes they are that arrogant. It’s not even like they’re trying to get a competitive advantage. It’s just that unless they are screwing the opponent with some underhanded tactic like this they are out of their comfort zone. Belicheck is petty and spiteful, and this sort of behavior is perfectly consistent…

This is how the Patriots operate. They make breaking rules in a manner such that they won’t or can’t be caught by the officials an integral part of their game plan. What they were doing there was in violation of 12.3.1(j). That wasn’t a shift to confuse the team pre-snap. It was an attempt to simulate the defense…

You say “strip club ribeyes” like it’s a bad thing.

At supposedly academic-only institutions one can graduate with degrees in “Intergenerational Studies and Community Service,” “American Studies,” “Art History,” and so on. It’s sort of disingenuous to bag on an “Athlete” major.

Injuries happen. You can’t wrap players in bubble wrap, then unleash them on each other in the first week of the season. Starters already play very limited minutes in preseason games, the purpose of which is to get into some contact situations to prepare for the season. If it were as skewed to the risk side on the…

Nothing dirty about that hit. He’s not targeting the knee with his helmet, and not using his momentum to push the leg in an awkward direction. Suggs wraps up Bradford’s legs and brings him down. That’s called a “tackle.”

Kirk Ferentz immediately extended the kid an offer.

Fortes is to bullfighting as Eddie “The Eagle” is to ski jumping.

It’s a pretty poorly done “preview” all around. Almost like it was written by someone who glanced at a few stats from last year, and just projected them onto this year. In each of the past 5 years, the top 25 recruiting classes have been dominated by SEC teams. 2014 being the most noteworthy, because in that year 7 of…

Don’t volunteer for a guaranteed $400 for a 1-in-180 chance at a $1300 payoff. Got it.

It’s amazing how little it takes to rustle the Internet’s jimmies these days.

Baseball IS a simple game, moreso than any other team sport. Take a look at what a football team’s playbook is like. Then I’d say compare it with a baseball team’s playbook, but such a thing does not exist. What Cowherd said was absolutely not racist, nor was it full of malicious intent. The best players in baseball…

“The Jaguars, by the way, gave Fowler a fully guaranteed contract after the injury, which is both generous and kinda stupid.”

This does explain why so many people want to trap wild animals in their homes.

Truth is often painful to hear.

Congrats on the new QB, Auburn.

I’m surprised to see so many people at a Rays’ game.

Perfect. Comment thread should now be locked.
