It’ll also bring in a bunch of people from Grantland.

I liked Grantland and am looking forward to seeing what Simmons does with The Ringer. Say what you want about the guy’s own writing, but he hires good writers and lets them write good stuff without over-managing them. That’s something to celebrate.

Get Zach Lowe the hell out of ESPN.

Sully? If you think I’m in/around Boston, well you’re as misinformed as your first statement indicates.

Yeah, there’s that little known clause in the CBA about not getting drug tested in the first 8 years of your career.

Hey a University of Tennessee alum I can actually feel okay about! NICE.

<crickets>

Amazing how Shaun King got 6 women to sue the University of Tennessee over a Title IX complaint.

He sure earned it. Think about how exhausting it must be for him to handle the many responsibilities and powers that he randomly decided he had.

This is what I just can’t not understand. People, especially young men, do terrible things all the time. If you own up to it, make amends, and generally continue to live your life not being a garbage person then you deserve forgiveness. Why mot move the hell on Peyton Manning. Why bring it up over and over again just…

Cooper’d been mooning people since he was 12!

It really says a lot about the Mannings that they thought it was a good idea to go after this woman in the book “they wrote”. Ignore the incident, acknowledge it in anodyne terms, whatever, but even setting aside the subsequent harassment of sending material to her new employers, why would they go in for a little…

If only Diana had included that in the article...

And she was a POTTY MOUTH!!

Bingo.

Then your alma mater shouldn’t have brought in 18 year olds who think it is okay to teabag people. And your alma mater should have given enough of an education to that person so they are smart enough to follow court settlements and keep their mouth shut. It’s absolutely your schools fault that a guy who went there…

Maybe you could demand your alma mater take responsibility for it’s shitty reputation? Y’know instead of whining the others guys are doing it too. Jesus Christ, football is a fucking plight.

I can tell you how they kept it covered for two decades; the same way every athlete factory shuts up talk of their players’ crimes: They tell the local press to shut up, the local press nods its head and says, ‘Yes, sir. Hope we do well in the postseason, sir.’

They think it makes her look bad by saying she's dating other races. You know, they see Black men as 2nd class citizens.

It really pisses me off that after I cheered for Peyton Manning (in broad strokes, at least) for the vast majority of his career and he barely ever won the Super Bowl, now that he’s been revealed as an atrocious human being — a liar, a sexual harasser, a doper, a Papa John’s franchise owner — he wins the Super Bowl.
