Fine. Read more

Just signaling this is no longer an argument worth having. The NFLPA bargains its compensation and evidently it’s fine leaving relocation fees out of it, given how infrequently they occur and how little their labor actually has to do with it. When the next contract is negotiated, perhaps they should consult with some… Read more

Fine, you’re right. I concede. Everything you type into the Internet is right. Read more

That’s an entirely different thing, and you know it. Television deals broadcast the product players help create and that is why revenue from them is included in the collective bargaining agreements. Read more

1989, for some reason I remember reading about it in the Sporting News around the time of the earthquake, so maybe it had been proposed for the 1990 season. Read more

Most anticipated logos of 2017:

How did players negotiate or effect the move though? They may proximately make the franchise valuable, but the relocation fee has to do with the league’s consent to doing business in a community.

Stop me if if you heard it before, but my freshman year in college, this skinny guy sprinted from the first base grandstand at the old Durham Athletic Park in nothing but track shoes, made it to the Brame Office Supply sign at the wall, scaled it and got away clean. Greatest streak in history. No question who had the… Read more

You want to cheer for a school you didn’t attend, fine. Enjoy the game. You want to shit talk someone who actually graduated the rival university, no. Read more

I’m gonna bet the connection most have with the school is the t-shirt they bought at a Walmart Read more

Plainly, all of that was brought out a dozen years ago. Despicable then and now, I was just head-snapped by the fact this had regenerated itself. But Bliss did it to himself again, so good riddance. Read more

On one hand, what Dave Bliss did should disqualify him from ever holding any university coaching job again, whether that’s a Division I school or some piss-ant checkbook college. The notoriety should probably eliminate his chances at a professional job, too, but there are more leagues than just the NBA.
