That play gets flagged all the time. The lack of flags on Newton is an issue but not this one. The flag is for him following through on the shove, not just mere contact. Most defenders would have simply steered him out of bounds there. Easy flag.

Smart take - I still think his performance is borderline, but this off the field nonsense shouldn’t affect it.

Seriously - they gave him a double minor, that’s plenty.

I’ve discovered that most people in my town that live in big houses are wealthy. I want to be rich, so I’m going to buy a big house.

Yep.

100% this. This was a tank job for the season by the front office, which has serious health consequences particularly for the QB. RGIII was nothing more than a distraction for the fans. They gutted the roster of an already weak team to plan for the future. Maybe that’s the right strategic move, but its brutal for the…

Yes exactly - we’re comparing lying and covering up selling game memorabilia with lying and covering up gang rape. Oh wait, you’re saying that’s the same? Or perhaps that it’s ok that the NCAA published the first but not the second? Fun.  

I can’t tell if he is 18 or 78.

Tanking tanking tanking. No doubt.

God I love this. I was at the western conference version of this: Avs-Coyotes. Really thought it would a pleasant distracting easy win for the home team, coupled with the knowledge that Trump was being put down. Instead I spent the whole game refreshing 538.

I don’t think it is. We’ve seen this in the NFL before, where both sides can leave. That makes it essentially worthless, nothing more than a starting point in negotiations.

Well sure, but this FO isn’t exactly trying for this year, no? They’re only slightly more subtle than the Sixers. Good year to do it with the other Cleveland teams having some success.

Nah I hate this shit. There’s always going to be stances and candidates you want to move people away from - I hate this petty piling on once people have moved. It’s counterproductive and pointless.

Huh. I always thought she was innocent, until a moment ago when I saw that picture.

I really really wanted to see Hurley II guy take a punch.

Well let’s agree that these are the worst deadspin comment jokes ever. If your description is right, that would certainly change things. But here’s what Bentz said:

Is this a joke? If not, well then, yes the guard could pull his gun and ask you to pay him off. That wouldn't make it ok.

I mean, Lochte is a lying ass, but still pretty much a shady shakedown. I don’t know if robbery is the right word, not sure why having to fork over cash with a gun in your face is something for Brazil to be angry about being somewhat misrepresented.

It’s crazy, until you remember that Mozgov signed for 4/$64 M.

Is that Rockies attendance joke? The real joke about the Rockies is that they still get strong attendance numbers year after year with a garbage team. It’s just a great place to watch a game.
