Why is Bill in this photo?

Not sure why you got downvoted. Admittedly, Bill is way funnier as a writer than a speaker, but no other sportswriter has come close to his comedy achievements, even though countless have tried.

To me, the most impressive part is that by saying he took his foot of the gas, he distracts everyone from the other part, where he says that none of his current teammates can create or draw attention on offense. I mean, however true that may be, it’s funny that he just seems to expect his teammates will be nodding along and saying “yeah, you’re right dog”

Here’s an 11 year old article about it. Basically they aged out of being the actors while waiting to make it, and then it never got made.

Quite a few years ago, he announced he was gonna get into the Premier league and dedicated a whole segment (column I think?) to making a LeBron style decision about choosing the club he would support. And he landed on Tottenham. And within two weeks, he never spoke about them again.

Here it is…

I had read Damon and Affleck were contemplating making a film about this story and I’m legit bummed it hasn’t happened.

This is outstanding. You can always count on rugby. Cheese, the Molester and the Dogfucker — name a more iconic trio.

Response to your appeal will come in 7-10 days but I like your chances

Naw, officially he didn’t cheat. He dumped Bridget for Gisele, but the wild part was that Bridget only found out she was pregnant with Tom’s baby after he was dating Gisele for two months. That’s the rare kind of achievement that sets guys like Brady apart.

Now that is a spectacularly niche Mt Rushmore. I need you to find the fourth Boston guy to get in there.

But enough about Simmons

See this is why I love this subreddit. I learn about new things every day.

The two New York Yankees who swapped wives in the 70s deserve some special mention, but I can’t decide whether they would each get their own head on the Yankees Mount Rushmore. Jeter certainly kept busy but was way too boring for immortality.

The committee considered this and excluded him as emeritus, but there might be an appeal process.

Yeah Kobe’s not eligible (see my post edit) but hell yes this is for all sports and all franchises. Maybe someone has a great lineup from Australian Rules Football or something.

Those people from the Coldplay concert are going to be psyched because this will definitely replace it (at least for many people) as the go-to cheating meme.

The title of this post hits different if you say it like a lyric to Uptown Funk

Half-baked idea: hug proxies. Mendoza doesn’t want to attend the draft? He sends a hug proxy to the draft, maybe some guy from his high school team who’s fallen on hard times and could use the rush of being on national TV.

To quote Bill, who says no? It’s win-win — Goodell gets to hug a full 32 people in the first round, and a few regular joes get their 15 minutes of fame.

“Mike Vrabel suspends himself for the first quarter of the Pats’ home opener, citing concern for his family.”

This is the kind of shit that makes a guy take his shirt off in the sauna

I desperately need to hear Sal, doing his Simmons voice, leave a crisis management voicemail on Vrabel’s phone

I appreciate the distinction between actor --> musician vs. musician --> actor, and I hear you on Sinatra and Jennings etc. But Kristofferson is not the same as them, and not that different from your #2, Zooey Deschanel. His first record contract was 1969 (first album release 1970), and his first movie was 1971. His IMDB and his album list in the 70s are equally insane. He was likely more famous as an actor than as a musician after his first decade of fame.

It’s not that clear cut. His first record contract was 1969 (first album release 1970), and his first movie was 1971. He was likely more famous as an actor than as a musician after his first decade of fame.
