Am I allowed to think he's a jackass and the punishment (and amendment to the punishment) is fucking stupid?

Did he retire? Is he not in an innovative offense now? I got a felling you haven't watched his first two games of the season.

Christ. You could practically weaponize Jim Nantz's voice slowed down.

They didn't have to pull the song. Anyone with a brain in the building would say that "choosing to silence someone who happens to be a victim of domestic violence might be the stupidest thing you could possibly do right now".

Of course I don't want the world to know our military secrets. But I think that it also has something to do with if they did show us what they were doing then we would really see the huge amounts of money being wasted on stuff that's probably haven't gotten anywhere in research for decades.

I appreciate your effort for trying to break this down, but it's still confusing as fuck. There has to be some sort of infographic or something, I dunno.

The Iranian's name will be pronounced, if using standard American English as a guide, first name EE-mahn (where mahn is pronounced like a stereotypical Jamaican saying "man") last name Saw-dey-GEE-koo-can-DEY (where the G in GEE sounds like Gas and not Gym). I have no idea how exactly to say the Russian's name, except…

[Sorry for non-joke in advance]

This article reads like you're bashing exhibition soccer while ignoring the existence of pre-season basketball, baseball, and football, with an odd dash of "won't someone think of the overworked players?". It looks like you're trying to take pre-season tours down a notch, while naming faults that are just as much the…

Grammar in language is a mutable concept. It changes over time and is most "correct" when it is understood. The notion that the meaning of words its fixed is as stupid as the notion that 19th century English upper class grammar as codified by the linguists of the time is the defining grammar of this age. It is not.

Strunk and White made the best masturbation material!

Clearly there are a host of other, legitimate health risks associated with steroid use. I just don't like misinformation, regardless of which side it's on.

No, he didn't start it all. Brady Anderson, Dykstra and scores of other players for many years before him did it. Hell, fucking Al Oerter, the legendary Olympian from the 1960s did it. We don't know how long it's been in baseball. What probably happened is that Bonds looked at McGwire, Sosa and other players cashing…

I hope more players do this. The NBA's age-restriction rule (which they're trying to up to two years / age 20) is absurd. It has nothing to do with wanting players to be "ready" and everything to do with the NBA wanting to get two years of free marketing as the guys build up their names in the NCAA.

The player types that are agile enough to excel at soccer are your cornerbacks, wide receivers (especially the slot guys), point guards, centerfielders, etc. There are still a LOT of those. Lebron is not a good example.

The "who the fuck cares?" question always comes up on pieces like this, and it always confuses me. The answer is clearly "a lot of people."

You're losing sight of the OP's point; you don't need to decide a third and fourth place finisher because there is no reason to do so. In the Olympics a bronze medal game is played because there is a bronze medal up for grabs, because that is how Olympic events are structured and because medal counts are used to…

This is such a frustrating (though well-intentioned) article. How do you lead with "greatest player never to have played in a World Cup", and then spend the rest of the article addressing anything but?

Ridiculous. The catcher has to rely on an umpire's call while the play is in action. Anything that happens after that based on an incorrect call should be a dead ball. What would happen if there was a popup that was ruled to have dropped but later ruled caught? Could you double up all of the runners after the fact…

C'mon, you want players to have to anticipate that a call will be reversed through video challenge in the split second it takes to decide where to go with the ball? (Should players then study all the potential camera angles in a given stadium so they'll be better prepared to make a split-second guess as to whether…
