This is like saying that because Warren Buffet isn't poor, he shouldn't speak out against capitalist greed.

I've only done pussy sports like judo and powerlifting where they don't let you hit each other in the head. At least not in a sanctioned way. I know nothing of this whole "run full speed at each other while using the head as a weapon" thing.
Maybe this makes me a pussy, but I cringe every time I see teammates slamming helmet-to-helmet to celebrate a play. One instance may not be terribly dangerous, but if you get twenty-five small blows to the head as you make your way from the sideline to the bench, doesn't that, y'know, hurt?
That's a personal foul. Nothing more.
Spoiler alert:
Oh it sure was. Keep watching. 0:55 is pure suck-itry.
I'm listening on reference monitors and the mix is immaculate.

But anyone who's read Moneyball knows that general managers don't always listen to sound advice...
He absolutely did not. Again, Chris O'Leary has written on this extensively. His tape from age 19 shows some pretty gross, jerky arm lag and an elbow that consistently rises above the shoulder. His injuries weren't a "what-if," but a "when." It's "common knowledge" that Prior was smooth as silk, but the evidence shows…
Didn't Chris O'Leary solve this years ago? What's the point of using something like regression to determine which stats "predict" an arm injury? We know it has to do with mechanics — and more importantly, what biomechanical movement overload the elbow and shoulder.

I liked it, but that manhole scene is really fucking condescending.
They win it because voters are impressed with volume scoring. Nice appeal to... something or other, though.
He jumps high and shoots a lot. Surprise.
I have no idea why this would be sad either.
Maybe wear a blonde wig, meet him in his hotel room and put up a bit of a fight.
+1000. This is amazing.
And shut the fuck up.
What was the mistake?
