Well the Jags are a sham team so sham interviews are par for the course, right?

Let’s be very clear here, he will get sick. Because he has access to some money, he will be fine. The people who won’t be are the “little people” who have to work around him because they don’t have the kind of money that lets you walk away. They are the ones getting back and forth on public transportation, shopping in

I’m not sure I’d say they are slim with Leftwich. He’s going to get an HC gig sooner rather than later, as he’s got the young hotshot OC persona that teams are gunning for. 

Oh my god I don’t even want Brooklyn getting close to a title but if that happens I’d be okay with it. It would be absolutely hilarious.

Yet, another waste of time. I remember the criticisms regarding black QB’s, i.e. the position requires critical thinking and not athleticism. Almost every black QB on the college level was turned into a RB or WR. They have gotten past that somewhat (except the NYG), but now its head coaches.

“I’m just grateful” says the person in a predicament that could have easily been avoided entirely.

He’s the most selfish person in all of sports and the Nets were never going to win a championship, with or without him. Also, people inside the Nets are not happy with how they caved into this idiot refusal top get the damn shot. I mean really, does anyone think he has a shot of helping them? What happens if they play

certainly not the most interesting cats to be beefing...

He cowrote a pretty damn good book about football too - “One Knee Equals Two Feet”. 

Big Turducken is in a panic right now

Fantastic. Irving refused to get vaccinated, encouraged others to do the same, has put tons of lives at risk, has generally been an enormous piece of shit, and will face no consequences and will continue to put people’s health at risk on the court.

John Madden is one of the few people in sports that I can honestly no one disliked. Not a fan, player or colleague. I highly recommend watching the documentary that aired on Christmas Day “All Madden.” Truly fascinating. Forget the color commentator and video games, the man was one hell of a coach. I mean he went

  Well, to be a witness to something I’d have to find a reason to watch a Vikings game.  I’d rather stare into the sun for a few minutes.

am I the only one super unimpressed with really obscure metrics that are dragged out every time someone passes some weird mark?

This sounds more like “I’d rather people watch the ones that will put money in my pocket”, with a side of “I didn’t bankroll this one so I’m worried what horror stories they’re going to trot out”.

I really don’t understand how it’s not libel to make a movie about someone [living] without their permission and worse yet, HBO Max? I thought they had the common sense to get Magic’s input on the show if only to make it better.

Pa-leeeeeez. Issa and Lawrence were ALWAYS meant to be. ALWAYS! :P

Greg Oden at home like....

So what is going to upset Magic the most? His partying with Dr. Buss & the way his subsequent relationship with him caused his teammates to look at him oddly? The way he got Paul Westhead fired? I mean he was right in the end but at the time he looked like an asshole. His well-documented issues with Norm Nixon?

By acknowledging that the show ended? That’s not how spoilers work.
