If he’s so great, why was Howard always wide open? If he’s such a stud, why didn’t he recover the onside kick? If he really is Heisman Trophy material, why didn’t he make the tackle on the kickoff return?

But seriously... The kid played out of his mind, as he has all season, not that the Heisman voters noticed. In the…

And to think, I thought you might not actually be mad, but this comment just confirmed it.

You’re blaming the loss on the special teams coach? With that same logic you could blame the secondary coach or even Dabo. You can’t put it all on one person (especially an assistant coach) to determine if it’d be a blowout or not.

“It’s not right to call any part of Alabama’s 45-40 victory in last night’s national championship game fluky...”

A nice write up, but one detail is incorrect:

Plenty of other coaching staffs are meticulously prepared and take advantage in similar situations. This kind of holding up a single example of success as proof of the narrative regarding Saban’s perfect knowledge and execution is tired. He has the most talented and deepest roster and a coaching staff that includes…

the perfect marriage of conception and execution

It is really difficult to follow someone AND be their predecessor. Unless you’re Benjamin Harrison.

A picture of the proposed fire pit:

There's certainly an atmosphere bump for baseball relative to TV. I would agree with you on NFL. College basketball is a ton of fun to be live for.

“All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason, except for this air ball.”

Kanter is Muslim; maybe he was trying to injure innocent Americans in the stands.

As bad as Americans or Canadians can be, nobody tops the Brits for butchering foreign words. “Renaissance”= “Ruh-NAY-zence” for chrissakes.

Wisconsin basketball went 40-odd years without an NCAA tournament appearance before Stu Jackson, of all people, brought the Badgers back in 1994. Dick Bennett then brought them to an improbable Final Four as a No. 8 seed in 2000. He then retired only three games into the 2000-01 season, saying he was burned out, and…

Ok, horse people. That’s enough internet for you.

How will horse handle such news? Horse will read, will chew, will stand, will cry huge horse tears into hay covered ground. So sad. Once in lifetime horse. Standing somewhere. Being in a sad way. Chewing oats maybe. Awful. And even after online poll? Sad for horse. Sad for today. Sad America.

If you’re surprised by this story’s geography, you’ve never been to Minnesota in an election year. Dear god, every little town you drive through, you see hundreds of coded racist signs like “VOTE YES ON VOTER ID BILL [whatever]”. The only thing separating Minnesota from Arkansas are the weather, accents and tall…

The same fan threatened to blow up US Bank Stadium if the Vikings signed Robert Turbin.

Sikh and you shall find bigots and racists everywhere.
