The NFL and ESPN have collectively been like the Citizen Kane of sports media publicity disasters.

Tough night for Simmons, but a good one for me, as I managed to get blocked by Prisco on Twitter.

How weird. Bill Simmons routinely questions the integrity of an ESPN partner. How often has he accused the NBA of rigging the draft lottery? I mean, he probably makes 50 references to the NBA rigging the lottery per year. That's a direct assault on the integrity of that league with no evidence whatsoever. …

"Ten Things I Think I Think" is actually only ten things, and is retitled, "Ten Things I Think."

Simmons gave a minor critique of his employer, and maybe went slightly beyond the bounds of what can be reported with 100% certainty in line with "journalistic standards", and he gets suspended for 3 weeks.

Holy fuck. What did that idiot on First Take get for insinuating (and then defending) that Janay Palmer may have kind of deserved a punch? It was a week, right? If that?

"Yup...these are my overlords."

Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to ESPN

Oh stop. That's a completely false binary. There's plenty of room for him to engage his critical thinking ability without becoming Skip Bayless.

The diet itself is a (mostly) good idea, but the mythos around it is just inane. If you just say "Hey, you should focus on eating vegetables and lean proteins. Also, cutting out sugar is good for you," I'm totally on board. Once you start trying to tell me that the reason this is good is because of the way you…

The Vikings brought back Mike Priefer this week, the same week they cut Jerome Simpson for weed. Mike Priefer, you will remember, said gay people should be rounded up on an island and bombed out of existence. There was enough merit to the accusation that Priefer was suspended and forced to go to sensitivity training.

Ash became concerned about his health when he couldn't recall the last time Texas had a decent starting quarterback.

These guys need to stop. The only MFer who should be talking about discipline and punishment is Michel Foucault.

Nothing new for the NFL to look at a video and then do nothing about it.

I think it's pretty brave / awesome of her to post these updates, especially with photos. Ray Rice videos aside, domestic assault is usually something that is hidden behind closed doors. And it extends way beyond just the initial act; recoveries can take months and people are usually left with permanent injuries. It's…

I have mentioned in a previous post that my mom raised 4 kids by herself. She took her frustrations and anger out on us, she beat the hell out of us with anything and everything within reach ( switch, extension cords, vacuum cleaner extension, pots, etc.)I love my mom, she did the best she could but she was wrong. It…

It's hard to believe he's still in college. Those are the motor skills and timing of someone who has been playing for years.

Joke's on you, BYU doesn't even know the Hail Mary.

We gotta listen to Olbermann on this. No one knows more about getting fired for being a dick.
