It’s truer than it should be. Realized about six hours into my first credentialed race that what was on the end of the lanyard didn’t matter so long as I was looking hurried and ever the slightest bit frustrated by the existence of security. Read more

It’s Grand Final night after all! Read more

Bad example because they’re equally incompetent, but not only do the Kings have three first and second year lottery pick-caliber (Labissiere slid but was projected around 14th) centers on their roster this year, they have them behind possibly the best center in basketball! Read more

Not nothing, but he failed at his initial league assignment of OLB and had to re-convert to a full time DE this offseason, becoming the third best player on his D-line. Both South Carolina players who had to make this decision had a very bad time in their first years in the league, and between the unusual nature of… Read more

Downtown Ronnie Brown! I remember a few years back when he and Donald Brown were on the Chargers together. Two Some Guys worth Remembering at the same position on the same team with the same name. What a squad! Read more

The Browns, Chargers, and Bills have huge in-market fanbases even if their markets are small, like Green Bay (which is Milwaukee’s team, but the market is still small and the committment is the same), while the Rams are suddenly a marquee team again as L.A.’s undisputed team (and it will be even if the Raiders or… Read more

Damn, the field from the photoshop of the Iron Bowl field goal return where Chris Davis Jr. is out of bounds is real Read more

Got ‘eem! Wow, I was SURE the author was a more successful Major League Baseball team. You showed him. Read more

Man, I watched Clint Barmes play major league baseball in person AND on national television last year and he still feels like a name from 15 years ago. Read more

You’ve heard incorrectly (though the TJ soccer team is wonderful and deserves every ounce of credit it gets, any MLB team is still a much larger draw) and also it’s about the 15th-best NFL market by most metrics, including overall attendance, attendance vs. capacity, and local TV ratings. I don’t know how people… Read more

My man, “let’s get rid of the most successful sport in the country and replace it with the very unpopular football code it came from” is a bad take in a lot of ways. Also, every actual, real problem football has is worse in rugby! You’re taking hits at full speed with no pads or helmets! Read more

Do not, by any means, ever cite sources when stealing jokes. That’s dumb. Half the point of jokes is the air of spontaneity! Read more

Yeah, but one of those is Aaron Murray, whose ceiling is 30 year old Alex Smith and may have already met it by his second season in college Read more

Carson Palmer being concrete proof. Looked awful when traded late to the Raiders, is elite a season later as a preseason Free Agent on the Cardinals. Read more

Not likely tu change this result. A few years ago Team USAs were needed in three FIBA contests at once so they just sent Kansas as coached by Bill Self as one of those teams. That was enough to win on its own. Read more

I’ve done a lot of blog-reading in my day, even some blog commenting. Somehow, that blog commenting led me to running Oppositelock, then Jalopnik’s commenter-lounge-slash-User-Generated-Content-farm. That’s around when I started writing, building a style off all of my influences and eventually parlaying that into a… Read more

The variance in quality between Minnesota Lynx and every other WNBA and D-League team name is incredible. Basketball organizations, with the notable exception of the Pelicans, lost the ability to name teams well just after the Raptors/Grizz expansion wave. Read more

Just like Henry and Mike Bibby. The son was a much better player and circumstances still didn't let him escape the shadow of a father he didn't associate with at all. Read more

Well, if we’re really getting into it, Antonio Gates was better than either of them until around 2012... Read more
