An impressive and, frankly, quite shocking line drawn in the sand. Deadspin continues to be innovator and not the imitator. Time for another Daulerio profile. Someone call The Atlantic.
@ChubbsMcGee: Winner only declared after Rae Carruth or Todd Sauerbrun mentions.
@ChubbsMcGee: No, mentioning Rae Carruth, steroids or Todd Sauerbrun would've got you the win.
1.) Brayton got his money's worth.

2.) In the NFL's defense, it happened in Charlotte, home of franchise with the least amount of personality or history. It's almost like it didn't happen at all.
This doesn't even include the report that their WR Johnson-Koulianos was arrested for "keeping a drug house".

What the heck is going on at Iowa?
@gulag: Simmons firing away on Twitter to Pierce is great. 1.15M people have no idea what he's talking about, but about 50K definitely know.

I think it's hilarious Simmons took his name out. Fuck him. By now, if you don't like/enjoy Simmons' self-referentialism, don't comment on it. It's the schtick that has gotten him where he is today - why would he stop now?
I think his famous book was written about the 1988 Presidential Election. If he wrote a book about what went down (ahem) in 1998, you would have to replace the 'L' with an 'R'.
Nice to see support for the Irish out in Gary.
Danny Briere's contract in 2007 was similar; 8 years, $50M - but the last two years were at $1M each (when he's 39). In reality it's a 6 year, $8M/year deal, but for cap purposes, it's $6.5M/year. Total joke.
Blake's combined earnings in 7 years in the NBA, according to basketball-reference.com, is $16.7M. That puts him in the .01% of earners in this country ($4M alone in '09). That alone should show you the "value" college has for some people. I would also guess that put him in the top half of all Duke alums.
@prez687: Though he, like me, was probably sweating that final 3 attempt. **Clank** = Winner!
Maybe my memory is failing me, but didn't JYD win a 20 man battle royal at SummerSlam?
@raincoaster: Please provide a link or study to verify this conclusion that spouses who cheat are bad bets. If you're speaking empirically, please let us know.
Believe your lying eyes: Polacks from Buffalo love their fried bologna sandwiches. Millen has nothing to be ashamed of and no sensitivity classes to attend. Besides, unlike other sensitive groups, Polocks like me don't care if you pull the pins from our grenades and throw them back at us. Or tell us where the screen doors go on our submarines.
Listening to Jack(ass) Edwards is almost enough to turn one off from hockey completely.
@Jefferson Tardship: Whatever. A more creative response would've noted that both middle aged white media personalities are liberal and uber-liberal.
This coming from the guy who thinks "Teabagger" is a witty rejoinder. Stuff it you smarmy piece of shit.
@MitchKayak: No, actually, his twitter feed shows exactly why he should stick to his original career choice: movie critic. Proves that experts in one field are not necessarily experts in any other. Great story, good man, abominable politics.
