How is it a false premise? You must have missed the totally obvious point of the book, which is that market inefficiencies are the key to success for a small-market team. It's not about refusing to pay for talent; it's about not overpaying for overpriced commodities and finding novel ways to make those decisions…

Keep fawning over batting average, guy. Moneyball came out, like, ten years ago. Time for you to spend the $4 on a used copy.

Are you arguing that batting average, home runs, and RBI are the three most important statistical categories right now?

Yet somehow he also let Reggie Jackson straight up ignore Durant on half of his possessions. That first game that he started, Durant was calling for the ball and showed his frustration with Jackson playing the two-man game on the other side of the floor. Durant is good enough that you can let him shoot with a 40%+…

Perfect.

So you're saying that NFL players aren't in incredible shape and are not all-time great athletes? Do you know that some of the food you eat helps you get stronger?

After a workout as strenuous as an NFL team's, you could eat pretty much whatever you want and your body would use it efficiently. I'm not going to try to hate on healthy, smart eating for athletes, but for offensive and defensive lineman, eating fatty, calorie-dense foods like tacos and "fast food"-style burgers…

Shh, shhhhh.

Amazing.

When I saw the trailer last summer, I was convinced that it would be Luhrmanm taking a novel (at least partially) about social falsity and the pitfalls of materialism and turning it into a movie that celebrates those very things. Was I wrong?

Did Colin Cowherd just say that Iron Man and Spider-Man are based on true stories?

You've obviously never looked into Scandinavia or Switzerland.

That band is like if 1995 Wilco were boring and had a boring singer.

Do you think there's a fundamental difference between when Kobe dribble drives and when Nate Robinson does? And that that fundamental difference cannot be measured by the box score (in eFG% and AST%, etc.)? That's what I have a hard time swallowing.

This is exactly why the whole "shot creation" thing is bullshit to me. You can wax ad infinitum about floor spacing and dribble-drives and Kobe assists and all of that nebulous bullshit, but the fact remains: even the best shooters of all-time miss open jump shots.

If I'm on a first date and she takes her phone out to check Twitter, I'm calling for the check.

You think hubris is a good thing for an employee?

But throwing a football is not the only thing an NFL quarterback does.

Do you not see Derek Fisher push off well after contact?

ESPN isnt malicious, but ESPN is more than occasionally very, very dumb.
