Here's An Odd Legal Journal Letter About The NFL And The Ray Rice Tapes
A couple of tipsters have pointed us to an anonymous question printed in the October issue of the New York State Bar Association Journal.

Anthony Davis Still Improving Should Terrify Opponents
LeBron James's return to Cleveland was the biggest story of the 2014 NBA offseason, but in the not-so-distant future we may be referring to it instead as the summer of Anthony Davis.

Colts-Steelers Was Pure, Uncut, High-Grade Offense
The Patriots produced a show for the 1 p.m. slate by hanging 51 points on the Bears, who I would imagine are reading the papers this morning and realizing they had a game yesterday. The Steelers decided to match that total for the 4 p.m. round, the main difference being that a few of the Colts decid...

Marlins Man And Royals In Weirdest Feud Of The World Series
The silliest feud of the World Series isn't taking place on the field, but in the seats behind home plate. That's where Marlins Man, super fan Laurence Leavy, sits. But is he even a Marlins fan, and did the Royals resort to bribing to get him to move?...

Hey, The Falcons And Lions Are Playing At 9:30 A.M. ET Sunday
Yeah, we did a post touching on Sunday's Lions-Falcons game in Wembley Stadium, but an informal poll showed that most of us didn't know it would air on the East Coast at 9:30 a.m. We thought it'd be at 1 p.m. like usual. Anyway, now you know. Double-check your fantasy team and start drinking earlier...
Police: Broncos Safety Punched Cab Driver, Tried To Hide In Mulch

Struggle
It's stupid to distill a baseball game down to a single play. They're a complex, evolving series of discrete events. If you were going to try, though, Game 1 of the World Series would maybe look something like this. ...
Paris Saint-Germain Are Bullshit
We can't keep letting PSG do this. Yesterday, the French giants took on Cyprian giants/world ants APOEL in Champions League play. This was a match even schizophrenic PSG couldn't muck up, right? No. Instead of a dominating performance on a day full of them, we saw another typically lackadaisical dis...

Police Raid Discovers Drugs, Hookers, Ex-Sonics Center Robert Swift
When we last checked in on former NBA center Robert Swift, in 2013, he'd left his foreclosed Washington home in a total mess. Kirkland and Redmond police raided a home on Oct. 4, and you'll never guess who they found....
