SportsFilter: The Saturday Huddle

I notice that the Entertainment and Sports Plagiarizing Network has pulled the article and made the appropriate attributions.

Maybe they are just tired after all of that inter-office sex they have.

Women's Soccer Playoff Turns Ugly

But those two probably mate like Klingons.

I know what that's like.

Rashomon ... they make those little boilable noodle packs, right?

No, those are the little trading card monster things my 7 year old is so fond of.

That was a disgrace. If all of that had happened on a pitch during a men's game there would be public outrage. And I agree that the refs were non-existent apparently. Lambert should be suspended fro the team.

Florida State Gets Funky New Nike Uniforms

Now if they could only develop streak-resistant underwear, I could get behind that, sure.


You mean the kind that don't allow you to strip them off and run free across the pitch at a futbol match?

My, how fancy. I think I'm going to get the underwear with the pads built in and wear them every day.

SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle

hilarious rant by Dan Hawkins,

Wow! Can that guy switch gears or what? The media guys must get whiplash.

Should SportsFilter Think of the Children?

I'm confused...is it still OK to say "fuck Gary Bettman"?

Certainly. It is not, however, OK to do it. For anyone.

NFL's Dirtiest Player: Hines Ward

How can anybody respect a guy like this? I mean I can't stomache to look at a player as dirty as Ward. And what are the Steelers doing about it? The answer to this is so simple. It wouldn't take anything more than a good equipment manager and the problem would be solved.

What's that, you say? This is about unsportsmanlike conduct and not schmutz on his uniform? Oh.

Nevermind.

Girardi risks his life helping accident victim after the series celebration

Instant classic, rcade. Watch the language, 'Saber.

Yankees Win World Series

Well, New York has their 27th World Series championship, among a bunch of other sporting titles. And it is arguably the most dynamic, exciting and vibrant cities in the world.

But it doesn't have this. (At least I don't think it does.)

Mariners in 2010. (Even I have to laugh at that.)

Should SportsFilter Think of the Children?

kerrycindy, I think you miss the flavor and tone of what 'moj is getting at; specifically that many of the members have been here for years and have given this site a particular flavor and tone. I can tell you that by far this is hardly the worst offender of language you can find on the internet. I go to other sites that have language that even I have to shield my eyes from time to time. If you can read between the language you will find that there is a tremendous amount of great, intelligent people here who are quite entertaining writers. As this site was never intended to be kid or family friendly we have come here for the quality of discussion and the distinct personalities that each member of the group brings. As rcade has pointed out, there are tools that you can use to block and filter the language you find offensive. But it seems just a bit off-putting to come into a room where everybody has been having a long conversation and tell them that you don't like their language.

I think that all of you are carnally inclined. This whole site has been going down the fecal receptical as of late.

(I am either offering an alternative to foul language or trying for the ban-hammer.)

The Yankees intake air sharply! They are all just a bunch of overpaid intercoursers! Lousy fat-cat Richard craniums!

Yankees Win World Series

Well, Joanna Malloy's article is obviously something of a homer piece and probably not intended for the eyes of the non-Yankees faithful. But all-in-all I found the Yankees players to be pretty classy in victory. My heart was with the Phillies this year, but a Yankees World Series win seems as steady as time.

Speaking of trolls, dude, seriously.
