It's apparently a common problem in Florida, where houses and even people have been known to get swallowed up

Except they didn't. They held out and punished the kid for years when they shouldn't. His numbers are now acceptable so they let him play.

No, you're not dumb for thinking that the picture at the top of the article had something to do with the article

I think it makes sense if you buy in to the charade of big time college sports as an extension of academics. I mean, these players are de facto professional athletes whose job is to train and play sports for paying customers, coached by professional staffs in professional facilities. Why should the ability to pretend…

Unfortunately, the greatness of the video of this goal is going to be lost on even the most well-versed US soccer fans.

Maybe not open collusion, but the age limit wouldn't exist if the NCAA wasn't there doing a bang-up job of lowering risks, marketing stars and saving money on salaries. Which is to say, the NBA knows it's a mutually beneficial arrangement, and it wouldn't be there if not for a wink-wink understanding between the two…

One problem (well, many problems, but here's one) is that this is about allowing two consenting adults to get married. Prove to me that a cat, a dog, a horse, etc. can give verbal or written consent and then they (you?) have an argument. Until then, they (you?) just look like fucking nut bars.

This morning, SportsCenter was on a TV in the gym locker room with five guys sitting around watching and Stephen A. Smith was on gabbing about game 6. A guy walks into the room and goes straight to the remote and mutes the TV. No one flinched, we all just silently stared at the screen or continued to get dressed. As…

Why can't they ban the "get in the hole!" guy?

Democrat: If you'll look here, you'll see where, however slight the correlation, the team with more players has an unfair advantage. What we should do is give the team with fewer members a 1.823 run to start. You know, as long as there's more Republicans.

It really, really depends on the situation. Judges are definitely problematic for the reasons you mention - they're one person, subject to their own biases, who can make decisions with enormous personal and economic (in civil trials) implications. On the other hand, I worked in a fairly obscure area of law before…

"What if heroin cured AIDS? Would the government allow people to become dope fiends and force them to endure rehab if it meant eradicating a terminal disease?"

My concern is time. Baseball games are long enough as it is without multiple extended replay reviews. Recent glaringly bad calls aside, baseball is the most accurately officiated of the Big 4 sports. Adding replay to ensure 100% accuracy doesn't necessarily improve the experience of watching the game. I think the…

The kid simply knows that Blitzer shouldn't have a mic.

I'm curious...any black people have thoughts on this? I feel like there's always a lot of righteous indignation on the part of whiteboys like myself when something like this happens. Part of me sees this as a cool gesture. Another part can kind of see why it'd piss people off. Yet another thinks it shouldn't be…

Woah Tom, hold up. Isn't the story now how PGA lied and said they listen to any complaints fans send in and that this 'rule complaint' was sent in by a fan? In fact didn't Jim Nantz knowingly lie while pushing this narrative while interviewing the old fuck from the Masters about the ruling?

Yes — of course I'm glad that they aren't fining anyone over this. But they're just proving that they DO have discretion, and that they recognize that nobody was injured by hearing a freaking word on television. Not even the many children who were watching the game. This makes the fines over other incidents even more…

This is why Tiger should have been DQ'd.
