Or, if you have freestyle wrestling experience, shoot low, take him down, get on top, and there being no referee to penalize you, proceed to choke him out.*

At age 40, paying a violent game, looks has nuthin’ to do with it. Old bodies fail. Without exception.

You apparently are unaware of how tenuous the condition of “great shape” is for 40 year old NFL players.

More than likely, that is what will happen to Brady. He’ll get an injury, perhaps not even one which will necessarily keep him off the field, but one that a 40 year old guy won’t be able to perform well with, even if he could have at age 38. One problem will very quickly lead to another, and within a pretty short span…

To be fair, when old qbs go bad, they go bad really, really, fast. Favre went from near MVP level to completely washed up in the space between a conference championship game to the next season’s opener. Having said that, Brady’s game has always been more cerebral, which should slow the decline somewhat, when it…

Because the 39 year old has given you a sample size of over 250 games, to give you an indication of his actual expected performance level, and still played a great 4th quarter on the road, against a historically great defense, after getting crap stomped out of him for the previous 3 quarters, as recently as 6 months…

Why waste material on a dumbfuck who sees fit to say somebody is gettin’ on a high horse when they accurately note that only person who may be dumber than a fuck like you is Joey Fuckin’ Votto?

Hey, when dealing with an idiot like you, you don’t need to use your best material.

Hurry, you brains are leaking out your ears.

Yes, he is. For all he know the kid has a disease that’ll kill him in 6 months. Ya’ see, ya’ gotta be really fuckin’ stupid to take take one fact, like where someone is sittin’ at a fuckin’ ballgame, and construct a narrative to rationalize you being rude to that person, instead of politely saying no, or just ignoring…

The mayor of Sacremento should have taken the path of our likely next President of the United States. He should have set up his own private e-mail service, on a server he had possession of, to handle his official communication, and then destroyed thousands of e-mails when they were sought via legal channels.

Yep, if you are going to have a policy which pay off for being unable to play any longer, you really need to wire the langauge in the contract very tightly. One of the advantages of going through Lloyds for a policy is supposed to be much greater flexibility in how the contract is written. I hope the player in this…

This isn’t a healthcare policy.

It is worth noting that what this guy did to get 4 years is nearly exactly what some CIA employees did to get access to databases belonging to the Senate Intelligence Commitee. Not only did no person get indicted, no person lost their job, and President Obama issued an endorsement of the Director of the CIA, in the…

There may not be a big fight, if the tradeoff costs dollars. For the average player, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to give up gross revenues, or accept a lower salary floor, to ensure Goodell doesn’t screw them in disciplinary hearing.

If it would cost the players, in a substantial way, with regard to percentage of gross revenues to the players, or with regard to each team’s salary floor, it may be rational to let Goodell to retain his power. Yes, a few guys will get screwed, but everybody else gets a lot more cash, in thier very short careers.…

The appellate court ruled that the destruction of the cell phone alone gave Goodell legal basis for the suspension. Did Goodell have legal right to the phone, in the sense that he could ask the gvernment to punish Brady for destroying it? No. Did Goodell have legal right to the phone, in the sense that failure to turn…

Yeah, to me, the bubble team games aren’t all that compelling, for the simple reason that the basketball players aren’t all that good. The good teams with good players are going to get in, for the most part, and it really doesn’t make any difference if they finish 2nd or 3rd in their conference. I can understand why…

It is rare that a title contender has any real chance of missing the tournament. Yes, the locals can get excited that some bubble team scrapes its way in, to very likey be eliminated in a game or two,but it is puzzling to me that any of the non-locals give a damn

I’m not saying you are wrong, but I cannot understand why anbody would buy season tickets for about 25 teams in the NBA. Of course, I also can’t understand why anyone would turn on the t.v. to watch a college basketball game in January, if they didn’t attend the school, or bet on the game. Basketball is just…
