Yes! I'm three years younger than drew, but I remember the trial.. I imagine like Drew, I remember O.J. As an announcer and as Goldberg in the naked gun, but not as a football player. I knew who OJ was when his wife was killed (almost certainly by OJ), but I never knew why I was supposed to care.

Haisley post one - MLS academy develops player Chelsea F.C. wants. Haisley post two - MLS sucks.

The sixers need a veteran, think jalen Rose from the podcast, to teach these guys how to BE an NBA player, like how to enter and leave a club when you are a rich gigantic black dude. Maybe Kirk Hinrich.

It’s only unlikely if you assume HBO’s employment lawyers are ok with the possibility of being used. If the editors weren't 100% committed to the Simmons project, they could trade info to ESPN about it for a contract. If they were, it'd be stupid of them to tell anyone at ESPN anyway. The clause is a red herring. It…

Why shouldn’t Simmons protect himself? They had info about his project that would be valuable to ESPN. Plus, if they really did want to join the HBO site, they wouldn’t want to tell anyone at ESPN anyway. The clause wasn’t the reason why ESPN was screwed, it was Simmons’ decision to hire ex grant landers to begin with.

That was for Simmons’ benefit. He didn’t want the editors going back to ESPN saying Sports Guy offered me x, now give me a contract if you want to screw him. It was also not in any of the editors’ INTERESTS to tell ESPN, as you rightly note.

The same story could be presented each way. The human face of gun violence, consumer safety — this should be serious stuff, presented seriously. It usually isn’t. CNN covers a news story in a way that is more like a TV thriller because it’s what people want. The horror of an eyewitness is not what anyone needs. People…

Yes, he is their target demographic.

Damnit, I had just forgotten who Justine Sacco was.

Agreed but that’s not saying much. Obviously draper didn’t watch the Halep-Lisicki match, where Halep advanced simply by losing more slowly. Vika’s the only one left who could beat a locked-in, healthy Serena, but she probably won’t. Halep won't get past Azarenka, Kvitova, AND Williams with her first serve…

Please tell me more about race relations and workplace dynamics, guy who names himself after a slave-owner narcoleptic traitor.

Chip’s logic, not mine. He can play, so this is a good move for Boykin. since the team wouldn’t resign him, a trade when they could get a return is almost as good as just letting him play outside corner. My point is I don’t think Chip is a racist, but he is at fault for continuous misunderstandings. Since he has…

Chip needs to get to know his players better. Lack of communication and understanding strikes me as the real issue why this comes up. Nobody knows what chip really thinks outside of football. Players who have seen white authority figures put up barriers in the past may see it as racial issues, and not that Kelly’s…

But, but, the Torah said G_d would keep the pipe lit for 8 nights!

Blatt reminds me of Andy Reid. He seems to be good at preparation and systems, but he cannot make in game adjustments or do A-NUH-THING in the last two minutes of a half.

Not the saddest - hi, Buffalo! - definitely the angriest.

There’s something strange about a “stick to sports” argument from Bob Costas.

Leicester? I hardly even know her!

Is he supposed to be a second round draft pick or a big man with foot problems?

I thought the argument was that somehow the PED suspensions voided it. If it’s just ability to market, that seems to me (without the language in front of me) that it was a risk the Yankees assumed. They agreed to pay $6m because they assumed they could make it back in merch. Anyway the fact they didn’t try to market…
