Oddly enough, I wonder if it isn’t better for Kaepernick if he is never signed again. With each dismal NFL quarterback signing, it becomes clearer that he is being persecuted for his stance on police brutality in communities of color, and thus his reputation grows in the activist community. He can grow his stature as…

The challenge with diaster relief is differentiating between people wanting to make themselves feel good by donating in the immediate aftermath when suffering is accutely visible, and people who will do genuine assistance over the next five years, or so, and not get or seek any publicity.

Aside from sliding, I’ve heard it said that the construction of the base assists the umpires in determining outs: the foot hitting the bag produces a significant sound that, when preceding the ball hitting the palm of a fielder’s glove, determines an out. A flat base would have to somehow produce a signalling sound to…

Sports writers have a porn-like problem: there are far too many writers who will display their work for free (or near free) on websites in the hope that they will be able to monetize their work in the future. The number of those type of people far out number those who will refuse to work until they are paid a living…

The issue has more to do with the fact that Burfict is the person delivering the hit than the hit itself. It is hard and decisive contact with an opponent, but falls within the bounds of traditional football tactics. However, it is his body of work that is highly prejudicial in assessing the alleged foul. If this hit…

Duh. It’s the one he prefers to be pinched during sex.

“Bubbly Creek”: a disturbing and yet, cheery sounding description.

I wonder how much community expectations of masculinity factor into the decision to participate in football at a young age?

Two things: these guys think they are invincible, so why would they do something that suggests they are not. It really is part of being a football coach: “I’m better than you, and I don’t have people second guessing my decisions.”

You’d be surprised how much tolerance a person can build up with protracted use. The grab bag of drugs suggest he had exhausted the high potential on multiple drugs, and could only get the desired impact with this type of concoction.

Johnstown = Pittsburgh? I think you need a new map.

‘But we’re talking about Wake Forest, man. What are we talking about? Wake Forest? We’re talking about Wake Forest, man!’

Although impossible to poll, it would be interesting to determine how many NFL players actually enjoy playing versus tolerate it for the wages.

This was the last comment when I read through the list: God, I hope it remains the last comment as a fitting, and hilarious punctuation mark to this story.

LeBatard show speculated that Jay Cutler or Tony Romo would get the call before Kap (mentioned his wearing of a Castro T-shirt as an unfortunate decision, in hindsight).

I don’t know; I see him being found in bed with a dead hooker and a meth pipe at his lips when the cops break the door open.

Seems too high: the swiftness of the disappearing witnesses suggests someone approached key individuals with bundles of crisp $100 bills likely totaling $2,000 or less, each, along with high penalty non-disclosure contracts. To a person with a short-term perspective, this might seem like a big win for just seeing…

Can someone help me out with this: the competitor knows how long the match is and purportedly trains accordingly. How can someone get this exhausted?

I like to think that song was the result of a night of wraslin’ with some gals hanging out beside the tour bus one night.

I’m positive I’ve never seen the phrase “this is depressing!” ever. That exclamation mark had me chuckling about the Elaine Benes character choking the life out of you, in MMA style, in a NYC diner.
