Someone should slap a Boston cream pie in Kaepernick’s smug face. What the gently caress is this?

Are columnists just ignoring the recent run of NFL players beating/raping women, or am I just missing it because I live in an NBA bubble?

do you really want to read, like, Peter King's thoughts on sexual assault?

I don't want to read Peter King anything, but I'm kind of surprised at the muffled response to a very public face for the league being a serial rapist.

And then when the trade went down and Seattle reporters looked up his past the Mariners were like "well golly gee, we never could have known that, otherwise we wouldn't have made the trade.  "loving Mariners.

The Lueke thing in Seattle was one of the first real warning signs of the Jack Z tenure, because it involved him lying to ownership about Leuke's past (whether actively or by omission) until the media got a hold of the story, at which point he disavowed all knowledge and ordered his director of player personnel at the time to fall on his sword for supposedly not giving him all the information.

Rick Reilly is leaving ESPN (and maybe sportswriting) at the end of June. Edit: Oops — I saw two of his tweets and misunderstood the rest of the story. He's just quitting his column to do TV stuff. morestuff fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Mar 12, 2014 |

FiveThirtyEight just launched. It still seems like an awkward fit with ESPN, but I'm sure it'll turn around some interesting writing.

It's definitely a bit different of a fit, but I like that they're doing it. It seems that 30 for 30 and Grantland have rubbed off on ESPN proper in positive ways, so I can see this doing the same thing. Also, this is random but if any of you haven't ever checked out those Grantland Quarterly issues, the story selection is a little befuddling sometimes, but those books are loving beautiful. I purchased the first one and have snagged a copy of each one since just because the design is really awesome.

If you had told me that my favorite sports feature of the year, thus far, would be a Grantland article about the world's best juggler I would have laughed at you, but here we are. This was a fine read.
