For the record, I totally agree that pitching is enormously complex and difficult to master.

Bye, sad troll.

The mechanics of football and soccer are so different that I disagree with that last bit, but otherwise I like and respect that answer.

Here, you desperately need this:

Oh, both your posts have initially been in the gray box that usually suggest that. But anyway, fair enough! Different strokes.

Hm, well we never had a basement, and I haven’t lived at home since I was 18, before college. I have a full-time job in media, live in NYC, play in a band and yes, have a girlfriend.

Boy, did I get more than I bargained for. All fair answers (haha to the first line, though I’ve heard it before and still think it’s an evasive response). Appreciate the long answer (even though it’s copied and pasted), I certainly understand all those points, I just think that relatively speaking it’s still less…

I really respect and enjoy your articles, so with no snark, can you explain to me why baseball is interesting? I love sports, but I just don’t think baseball comes anywhere near football or basketball in terms of complexity, intrigue or pace. My impression is that almost every single person I’ve met who loves…

I don’t think so. The words the original article used were clearly not the most straight-forward and honest way to describe the situation, that much is obvious. Also, for people who aren’t as familiar with football/sports, the writer’s job is to make it as clear and comprehensible as possible. A non-sports fan would…

This thread re-affirms my belief: baseball is an inherently dull, one-dimensional game, and the best part about it is the off-field drama.

I thought about that right after, fair point. I also don’t really see the need to lift the lid at all, just aim half-decently and if you hit the lid, just wipe it off.

This is actually the best explanation I’ve heard for this. However, most men and people in general piss far more often than they shit.

Man, I was right there with you until you mentioned Beyonce. Then all credibility disappeared (yes, Beyonce has a good voice. She also makes aggressively average music and is a cyborg clothed in a highly realistic skin suit).

It took me about 5 seconds, because that’s my dog. Oops.

Incorrect (and you’re trying too hard):

I wish I was friends with that guy.

Exactly what I thought when I saw that lower-case, punctuation-less “yes”. I respect HamNo about a lot of things, but he’s an angry, arrogant little boy on the inside a lot of the time.

Tom Sizemore had an absolutely hysterical small role on an episode of “It’s Always Sunny...” a few seasons back. Completely changed my opinion of him. Guy can act.

“He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic...”

I’m going to say it: thin mints are shitty and incredibly overrated. Somoas, however, are pretty, pretty, pretty good.
