If you take a reasonably athletic guy, he could probably, on a good day, pop a few balls into the outfield. On a lucky day, he’ll take a few balls somewhat deeper. And from that article, it is possible to train that guy to eventually hit one. Take that same guy, who can’t palm a basketball, and is about 8 inches short…

With no preparation, with 50 attempts, people can luck into a homerun. It definitely won’t happen often, but some inevitably will. But with a slam dunk, you either can do it or you can’t—no one will accidentally jump higher than they ever have before. So given that most rec league basketball players can’t dunk, and at…

I’m lucky enough that Grant Brisbee is the guy for the SF Giants blog, and I was happy to see him get a shout-out in the article as a top 1% guy, but does that mean he’s in the top 1% of pay or talent, because he is definitely the latter and I hope he is in the former.

I’m honestly curious: what profession heavily relies on unpaid labor? Blogging, sure. Graphic design? Photography? I honestly would like to know.

To this day, I don’t care, whenever I hear California’s anthem, my hands are up in the air.

I mean, you had good intentions and you protested the wars in your own personal way, but if that was a public protest, so was my furious commenting on all manner of forums this weekend about the Nazis in our streets. No one noticed that either because it wasn’t notable.

It’s gross, but not grosser than walking through a city in flip-flops or other open footwear. But really, if you’re afraid of coming into contact with undeniably disgusting shit, you really shouldn’t be in the city to begin with. For the first 30 years or so of my life, BART had carpeted floors and cloth seats. I’m…

I’ve been playing this criminally forgotten gem this weekend.

Smack that fool.

McGregor beating Mayweather would be the most unlikely thing to happen this year, but it would also be the least significant. And yes, we’re all fucked.

There are millions of us.

The hypocrisy is that the player that sexually assaults and abuses women isn’t “a distraction” that creates “a media circus,” while the player that demonstrated his displeasure with people being killed by police is.

Anyone can buy a McMansion just outside of LA. Only a couple dozen can buy in Presidio Terrace. It’s like paying to golf at Pebble Beach or at Sharp Park—they kinda look the same, but they’re not.

I’m a Warriors fan, and I agree wholeheartedly.

When he wins it all again this year, and you know the Dubs will, he’ll be 3-1 in four Finals. 3-1 is dead. Long live 3-1, and on to not 4, not 5, not 6...

Lagunitas was sold to Heineken a couple months ago, and sadly, my hometown beer, Anchor Steam, was just sold to Sapporo.

Probably, considering his/her love for Pam the Funkstress (who is best known for being the DJ for the criminally slept-on, Oakland-based, hip-hop duo, The Coup [they got a brief moment of national attention when they had to replace the cover for an album that featured both Twin Towers exploding, before 9/11]).

And Miami is further south than Mississippi, but it’s not in “the South.”

Because it’s in the Pacific Northwest. Different region. Do you consider Charleston, South Carolina or Miami, Florida to be East Coast cities? I don’t.
