No one really cares what you have to say judging by the tepid response. Having said that, these guys deserve to get paid for what they do for their school, you on the other hand probably do not. Do not pretend your envy is just, it's not, these kids are working really fucking hard, putting themselves at risk and…

Scholarships aren't payment for what the athletes do; often they're guided by counselors to pick the easiest path so they don't fail out, not to get a bachelor's degree.

I like that it accounts for team strength (I think Burke's model should be making this an option at some point soon), but for whatever reason it seems to be a little more sensitive to major swings late in games—it gave the Vikings a 98 percent to win after their last kickoff, even though the model acknowledges that…

LOL, yes. Over and over this year results have driven home to me the fact that I know nothing about football. This was one of the most pleasurable, though.

Korey Stringer would argue that it is in fact Minnesota who has the worst fans.

Peterson usually has to wait for the results of a DNA test until he feels a pop.

Oh, sweetie. You time travel on your phone to give yourself free lives. You don't PAY for them.

Seems reasonable to me. Portugal tied Northern Ireland and Israel (twice) in qualifying - they're not that strong. Ghana lost to Zambia. I'm not saying either team is easy - I'd rather we were playing Algeria - but both are beatable by the US.

Typical. No matter what happens in the world, the USA is still all about the 1%.

Haven't even finished the story yet, but "Cameroon, Honduras, and Rand McNally" made me spit coffee. Used to work at the latter, and, at least when I was there, you couldn't find 11 people who knew what soccer was. One running joke was what they called one guy who'd been in the same department for 20 years..."the new…

In Rand McNally, people wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people

Lady and I are betting the lines and O/U on all NFL games every week to see who places the bets when we go to Vegas. She took HOU/U and I took JAX/O. Looks like we are going to flip a coin after this season.

My family always went to White Sox games growing up. I loved Ray Durham. My mom would always say "That Ray Durham...he sure looks like a baseball player"

Controversy is a state of prolonged public dispute or debate, usually concerning a matter of conflicting opinion or point of view. The word was coined from the Latin controversia, as a composite of controversus – "turned in an opposite direction," from contra – "against" – and vertere – to turn, or versus (see verse),…

Simmons already has 8500 words comparing this to the 1996 Pacers team and season two of Girls.

Well, as long as Winston feels emotionally charged, then he's probably learned his lesson.
