The clarification comes off legal backpedaling. At this point I just hope nobody else was hurt.

GMG's union is the WGA, which generally has some of the best benefits around.

Apparently it can get members out of manslaughter charges!

So we've established that it was the blood clot driving the car he hit the Barstool guys with, yes?

To be clear, the blood clot had not been drinking.

Also, I feel like Bois does a pretty decent job of really distinguishing a sad punt from a bad punt.

Whiffing a punt is a bad punt. A perfect coffin corner from the 40 yard line when you're down by 2 with 1 minute left is a sad punt.

I've never met more Charger fans than when my last job had an office in Yuma, AZ.

I've never met fewer Chargers fans than when I lived in San Diego and the Cowboys came to play.

The NLRB is toothless even at the best of times, and Don Jr is a Barstool fan so I can see why he'd pick that course.

Barstool Sports being the thing that officially kills any remaining union protections in this country seems appropriate.

You come at the USMNT, your entire company deserves to be ground to dust, as I always say

It's why nobody ever talks about the USMNT. What if I say something wrong and suddenly my company is ground to dust?! It will clearly be karma for my sin. Better to just never give them the time of day. That must be the reason.

Just allow for overrunning every base like 1st base and do the double wide half orange base to give the runner a lane through.

What makes the story great is that Jobs was 100% correct.

To me, the most interesting part of Ley's post was the revelation that Spanfeller brought him back in to try and save Deadspin after everyone had quit over editorial control issues. And decided to just talk about advertising strategy.

This is how both of them increase their viewership and make money. They aren't fighting because there is no chance that either of them gets injured physically or monetarily.

We were talking about it on Discord, and I think he might be doing a larger piece on the Chargers

I'll never forget my first year living in San Diego when the Cowboys came to play the Chargers. I expected to see a home crowd. The game, parking lot, and city in general was 90% Cowboy fans. Poor poor Chargers.

DTS really has been an incredible boon for F1 and I've encountered so many new fans (that otherwise eschew sports entirely), all thanks to the series. If anything, it shows just how deep Netflix's reach really is.

DTS is a great introduction to F1, then becomes the worst show ever once you actually start caring about and following F1.

There was an update where they said he actually meant Mila Kunis, so he was probably going for a gross joke about nipples rather than a relatively obscure racial slur. It's all class in Boston sports radio!

Yeah, the Boston sports radio host probably wasn't being racist.
