You say "paternalism," I say "subtle racism." Read more

Peter King's work is a useful read, so long as you know that you're getting the league perspective on a given issue, sans analysis or counterfactual information. I tend to read his pieces when the NFL has done something grotesque or is trying to spin its way out of a controversy, as it's probably the closest thing I… Read more

The whole narrative of Cam's maturation relies on weird assumption that Cam was somehow extremely immature when he got into the league. Apparently Colin Cowherd compared Cam and Ben Rothlisberger today on the radio, not just as on-field players (It is a much better comparison than all the stupid JaMarcus Russel… Read more

1,800-60. Maybe the game should have been called a while back. Read more

This is the worst basketball injury to a professional basketball player since Shaun Livingston broke his leg in a similar fashion. That injury derailed his career from young prospect and possible future all star to out of the league. It took him years to get back to just a seventh man on NBA benches. This is likely to… Read more

So far, the internet consensus is that Johnson fooled around with Will MacKenzie's wife, Alli, leading to their divorce. This May 2014 profile in Golf.com mentions that Will and Alli were in the process of divorce. (A few paragraphs later, though, it says MacKenzie still wears a watch that Dustin Johnson gave him,… Read more

I wish that email had a face, so that I could punch it.

Although I do not at all share you rosy view of market forces (actually, I oppose the concept of basing our lives on market forces), but this is a fantastic analysis of what is going on and what some better models might look like. One thing I take contention with, though, is toward the end when you write "Team Market… Read more

Twitter is the single best avenue for the spread of information and misinformation going. It's remarkable, considering it started as an app whose focus was essentially marketing famous people and their projects. Read more

More research on the effects of male-fist-to-female-face collision are needed. -Roger Goodell Read more

It was to the effect of, leading by being a model of proper behavior. Obviously ironic now, but not quite in the vein of "a woman should be seen not heard" old testament vengeful god stuff. Read more

This isn't exactly what was said so it is sort of turning into a game of telephone, which is the inherent problem with internet commentary, but what I recall Ray saying was something along the lines of "The job of the man in the house, if you look at it from a biblical sense, is to lead the family, to lead my… Read more

The point of the article is not to say that the movie isn't real. Everyone knows these movies are mostly false. This is to say that Boone is full of shit and the people who are paying thousands of dollars to hear a man speak thinking he is a civil rights activist know that they are really just getting your typical POS… Read more

This seems to be the point 90% of the comments below are missing. No one cares that the movie was inaccurate, and that's not the point the article is making. Read more

It's not that Titans is inaccurate; it's that Boone is acting as if it is accurate. To use your example (a great one, by the way), this would be like if the real brakeman from the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team changed his name to Sanka Coffie and went on the speaking rounds touting his status as Jamaica's greatest box… Read more
