While being interviewed in the Dan Le Batard radio show, he blamed his weight gain on living in Alabama. It was a funny interview that contained a few good nuggets of brutal insights (like his impersonation of Al Davis during his infamous firing press conference).

When watching Dalton, it seems that he has the confidence of a much better quarterback. Perhaps he just needs a confidence recalibration.

Had to use the paper card catalog system to dig that up, no doubt.

Dude, you’re making this out to be some dating show gone awry: this was a bunch of guys acting like sexist jack asses to a person in a relatively low socioeconomic position because they wanted to exert their power over her in a sexually demeaning way.

I’m unsure you can posit such a tidy concept of crime deterrence. Part of the issue is the problem of “control” of actions. On one hand there is the issue of intellectually disabled people (usually men) who are sex offenders due, in part, to impulse control deficiencies that are unaffected by the threat of punishment…

I thought you’d go all Elaine Benes on him regarding the exclamation! point! use!: “but because they all legitimately have better, more secure jobs! At Purdue, N.C. State, and Duke!”

Not quibbling about the drive for medical care, but if he has crappy/no health insurance, he may have been trying to mitigate the inevitable financial ruin that is associated with an emergency room visit.

Can’t wait for the next Le Batard show: the urinator will rise like the phoenix.

Why is it always holding calls that torpedo a football team? When our local crappy college football team fails, as is it’s habit, fans are lining up to point out the critical holding call that cost the game. It wasn’t the awful coaching decisions repeated week in, week out, it was that holding call that ruined…

E11EVEN is an “Adult Entertainment Club” open 24 hours a day.

In my experience, no: you are supposed to locate the ball overhead when you start running after the foot impacts the ball (sound trigger, but usually make your block and release down field) and follow the path. In reality, you get one glimpses of the ball overhead when you start running, and then focus on the…

One “secret” to long-term weight loss us building up large muscle groups (thighs, butt) while constricting calories. When you have more muscle mass you burn calories faster. People with higher body fat percentages struggle with weight loss when they focus on calorie restriction and aerobic activities while neglecting…

Some sports blowhard was speculating he would travel to Europe for some sweet stem cell treatment for just such a hypothetical ailment.

How did news outlets not do a background check on this guy before printing the heartwarming story? Although a far less convoluted than the Manti Teʻo story, it seems reporters forego all aspects of professionalism when the warm fuzzies arrive at their doorsteps.

Everyone is missing the possibility it is a long-term, chronic health condition: e.g., something like lupus, or sickle cell anemia. If so, it could quality as a disqualifying condition, would likely not be screened for at an NFL physical, and confirm the fundamental evil at the core of NFL player contracts.

To careen off in another direction: I’ve been waiting for the inevitable accusations of sexual harassment against him any day now. His lecherous behaviour seemed to be just tamped down beneath the surface enough to survive in the NPR orbit while filling their coffers with donations.

Dude, on our college team, one guy dropped acid before games, a good number of players did coke, and weed was certainly in use. Binge drinking followed most every game. It was the 80's, but I guess you’d be surprised how drug and alcohol use is part of playing football. Likely, it has always been so: much like…

I too had the same procedure about five years ago. I was and am very active, but my shoulder has never been “back to normal”. I can live with it, but if I had to rely on it for my job, I’d be in trouble.

The evolution: lard ass, to fat guy, to big guy, to gravity impaired/circumference challenged.
