The drawing of the blood is not the problem. It’s what they tell you afterward. I need advice for surviving/not making that worse. Read more

I’d vote her down not because it’s tied to 9/11 but because it’s Bush’s voice. Read more

Worth it. +1 Read more

There’s nothing like hearing a bona fide overdog whine about the officiating like this was their last shot at a title. Take your spoonful of disappointment and shut up, Kentucky. You will be back the next year, and the next year, and the next year. Most of the rest of us won’t. Read more

I’m just saying, that ass looks like it doesn’t care. This is an NFL ass, it needs to show more fire, more leadership. Read more

Same here. If it happens, though, the cell phone videos are going to be great. I’m imagining a sea of middle fingers. You know, normal length ones. Read more

This is the longest subtweet of Murray Chass ever Read more

Like San Diego, I don’t understand why this is such a goddamn tragedy. It is corrupt as hell that Jerry Jones makes a fat percentage off this, I agree, but that’s another matter altogether. Read more

OK, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the insight. Read more

Thanks. I’m still not sure how the NCAA figures into that, as they’re the ones who enforce the eligibility in their sports, not the leagues, but thanks for the reply.

Anyway, I guess my point is that the NCAA has zero articulable standard for amateurism, which I consider important as they beat that drum all the time in… Read more

This is fascinating, and certainly good for him, best wishes on his career and all that. But as someone unfamiliar with college hockey, what it mostly highlights to me is way the NCAA will just make up shit regarding eligibility according to the whim of each sport. (Tennis is a really good example.) Read more

That’s probably because this was published seven years ago. Read more

There is no way this was done of his own free will. He was likely facing a libel lawsuit in which everything he owned down to his shoelaces would be liquidated to pay Comet’s owner.

All I’m saying is, let’s not give this uniquely malevolent freakshow too much credit. And by “too much,” I mean “any.” Read more
