    NFL Week 17 Game Thread

    If the Broncos somehow lose this, I really hope Peyton is treated to an HGH chant should they make it to Foxborough. Not looking good though.

    Pete Rose denied reinstatement

    Is anyone going to look at a nearly 30 year ban and say, "Man, MLB was really soft on that one. Almost 30 years just isn't enough time." - I mean seriously. Even if Pete Rose's ban was lifted tomorrow, I don't think anyone involved in MLB activities would look at the lifting of a near-30 year...

    2015 Toronto Blue Jays

      In fairness, Toronto is the defacto national team for Canada at this point - being the only MLB team in Canada and all.

    Concussion Water - Tom Brady approved snake oil

    I don't see why this is a big deal.  People expect way too much out of other people (not just athletes). One of the most common traits of people who are exceptional in one field is that they tend to have deficiencies in other fields.  Brady is a phenomenal QB and probably the GOAT - who cares if...

    I'm Robert Kraft. Do you know who I am?

        Not really. The problem with image management is that if you're not actively presenting a certain type of image, the public will be more than happy to make their own about you.  The fact that Kraft goes out of his way to do as much image polishing as he does is something that actually gives...

    ¡COLIN!

      It's not really about being offended or non-offended. It's more about how incredibly and woefully out of touch his rant was without him even realizing it.  The bulk of the rant was throwing out literally 20 year old stereotypes, while completely ignoring the fact that eSports (and the watching...

    ¡COLIN!

    Cowherd is a moron.  I don't think it was anywhere on display as much as what happened recently here -    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzL21gHwt1I   Of course, the punchline to his rant is that no one would ever actually ask Cowherd to cover an eSports event because he wouldn't have the...

    Goodell's press conference game thread

    Goodell is done. If he's not removed now, more sponsors are going to drop in the future and he'll be removed at that point.  I just can't see anyway he pulls out of the horrific death dive his incompetence put him in here.

    Does AP still get paid while on the exempt list?

    If Pats signed Incognito, you'd think...

    The way I look at things, every hit Brady takes as a result of subpar OL play is a percentage chance of Brady suffering a season ending injury. With that in mind,  I'd take an OL full of scumbags if it meant the difference between a healthy Brady and a Brady going through another round of ACL...

    Post Game Thread: Wk1 at Miami

    With all the rushing that Moreno was able to do today, is anyone else absolutely terrified to see what AP is going to do next week? Because I am.

    Michael Sam rides off to Montreal

      Because of the two options...   Player A (standard NFL player, little press coverage)   Player B (Massive press sideshow, requires coach and assorted personnel to think about how to deal with the press for non football related reasons)      If both players are roughly equivalent in skill, why...

    Michael Sam rides off to Montreal

        I think having this attitude is somewhat naive.  If a team needed someone of Michael Sam's abilities, and Michael Sam was competing against an exact clone of Michael Sam (but no media circus on the clone) there's literally zero chance that the team doesn't take the Sam clone over the actual...

    Given unlimited power, how would you reform the NBA?

    Going off the idea of removing the personal foul limit, I'd add on to it in the following way:   Remove Personal Foul Limit   Add a Reverse Foul Limit -  Basically, a reverse foul limit would mean that fouling a certain player (ie: Shaq in the day, Dwight now, etc)  can only be done so many...

    Michael Sam could be the first openly gay NFL player

    Curious if people have new thoughts on Michael Sam now that we're through the first 3 rounds of the draft.

    The Josh Gordon Saga: Reinstated Conditionally

      Except Marijuana is already an institution in America, and we waste billions of dollars each year (instead of gaining billions tax-wise) attempting to fight it.  Enforcing Marijuana laws is already impossible for all intents and purposes.     In regards to personal health and other drugs...

    Microballing: Steve Ballmer's LA Clippers

      In Sterling's case, I think that had more to do with the fact that any party that could have went after him probably had more to lose by doing so than what they had to gain.  He wasn't just a public figure, he was a public figure with outrageous amounts of money by public figure standards...

    Microballing: Steve Ballmer's LA Clippers

      "Put me in the camp" as a conversational phrase doesn't relate to what you're trying to say it does here.  It's not where the phrase originated from, and it's not what people actually think of when people use the phrase. It's just used to note that you agree with a certain viewpoint that other...

    Microballing: Steve Ballmer's LA Clippers

      As other people have pointed out in response to your post, the guy made a "big dongle" pun that wouldn't even phase the censors in a PG-13 movie.  And your entire post is defending how the guys life should be completely ruined in order to make an example of him.  So let me state this clearly...

    Microballing: Steve Ballmer's LA Clippers

      Lets cut directly to this since really the entire argument is about punishment here. In the first tech guy example, the guys main crime was saying a joke (note: not even a hateful one) that was perceived to be in bad taste by a member of the opposite sex. A joke which was not meant in malice...
