As long as said companies are still sending checks to the league, I'm not sure that Goodell and company are that much concerned about where companies do or do not want to show their ads. The biggest move a company can make against the NFL is to pull out sponsorship money, not cherry-pick where its ads should run.

That's true. Pretty sure the casual Simpsons viewer would've thought little of those two characters, but those two characters brought to the table a lot of good laughs from the short periods they were on in shows that they appeared. The post-Hartman seasons could've used a dose of Troy, at the very least, or some…

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I came across this article again after some time. Just want to say that no, her collection won't have as much value as the sum total of the prices she bought them with mostly because those items are still being made today, and they're not new in packaging. Admittedly I don't…

That Rice comparison with Rivera is right on the money. Great comparison.

As a fellow Sox fan, I would humbly suggest that perhaps the frequency by which the Sox and Yankees meet up during the season and in the playoffs might have something to do with that fear coupled with his longevity as a player, especially for 30-year-old men like me who grew up parallel to Jeter's career. This isn't…

While that's easier than getting billions to tune out, it's also an arduous task to clean FIFA out. With the rampant corruption that's practically tradition already in that organization, it might be better to just talk to football clubs and have them form a new governing body for football. Then again, those same…

Honest question: did they get the record or not?

Props to your grandma, but I certainly do hope we all never stop complaining, especially people with audiences like you. It's when we become complacent and stop hoping and working for a better world do we sink in mediocrity and accept the many inequalities still prevalent here.

Assuming he can find a Ballmer type to sell the team to, he'll be fine. I just hope he won't get public outrage out of this because it doesn't look to me that he was racist, especially when ranged against Sterling's actions.

I'm with you. I find it even nice to see that Levenson makes it a point to blow the blacks=crimes stereotype out of the water by noting how there were no crime incidents around Philips Arena even though 90% of the audience were black. He comes across as non-racist and only points out the economic realities of his team…

With regards to service crew needing tips to even make just the minimum wage other workers earn, why aren't people directing their anger towards restaurant owners who lobbied for such exemptions to be put in place and whoever authorities allowed it to happen? I'm not an American citizen, but where I live, tips are…

Therein lies the problem, that tips have been distorted to become part of a serving crew's wages when they should be entitled to at least minimum wage AND earn extra by serving customers well. If anything, we all should be placing blame at Big Restaurant instead of tip-shaming each other.

"My mind can't think of anything else but football."

To be fair to media, the reports I've seen about Sam getting cut were giving serious props to Westbrooks for earning his spot on the team.

NOOOOOOOOO!!! Haha, but seriously, Drummond's a real stud, he just has to improve on his free throws. Probably not a Hall-of-Famer, but hell if he won't spark some debates years down the line (assuming good health and continued improvement).

So I'm looking at perennial playoff absentees in the last five years, and I've come to these teams: 76ers, Magic, Bucks, and Pistons. I've removed teams like Cleveland and Boston. Boston because with the exception of last year, they've been playoff regulars in the big three era. Cleveland because, well, you know.

Congrats for making me go to Rotoworld this early, haha. Here are the bigs I would pick myself as potential stars from teams that aren't playoff regulars as of late:

Okay, I'll give it one more go and then if I'm wrong, I'll leave it up to you if you want to disclose or not, haha. I'm guessing Pelicans. It's not that too far to the west. Considering you'd prefer NY's past 5 years over your team's even with NY's lame output last season, your team probably haven't been much of a…

If I may add another wrinkle to this, Quinn actually has a Patreon page up (for the uninformed, sorta like Kickstarter, but more of a monthly tip for people to keep creating content). The play may not be to have Depression Quest sell for actual money, but just to create enough popularity for a lot of people to pledge…

I'm with you mostly, except that I'm actually giving Stephen a pat on the back for showing that Kotaku takes allegations seriously and tackled it head-on. Their credibility was put into question, and he did the right thing by doing an internal investigation and showing impartiality in doing so.
