I conceded that you were correct in pointing out he had a good start in there. I just merely pointed out you ignored the two terrible starts too. I will humbly apologize for generalizing, and even perhaps exaggerating, if that will make you happy.

Except they weren’t supposed to have the season they did in 2012. They overachieved early. They also stated their plan was going to be exactly the same as it was with JZ when Stras had the surgery (over 1 yr before they were steamrolling into the playoffs). Every baseball fan on the planet knew he was going to be…

It’s funny you picked that one, but ignored the one before it and the one after it. But I’ll concede he had a decent game there. That aside, the dude looked gassed at the end.

You know the Nats already had a history of doing it with non-Boras clients before Stras, right? You knew that, but you wanted to make a dumb-ass comment anyway.

The Nats had already done the exact same thing (not in a pennant race) with Jordan Zimmermann (not a Boras client) the year before. So maybe... just maybe, Rizzo and the Nats were listening to medical professionals, and not agents and fans. Given the number of clients Boras has steered to the Nats I’d say he’s a fan…

Amen.

No, that is definitely a stupid fucking comment. The Strasburg thing has dick to do with how the Nats are playing today. Never mind that fact that anybody who watched an ounce of Nats baseball at the end of 2012 could see that Stras was *fucking* done. His last 2-3 starts were terrible. He was tired, and would not…

Um... it’s his client to protect. He may not get his way in the end, but how can you say it’s wrong for him to stand up for his client’s “best” interests? If Harvey did it, he’d be the bad guy, but Boras is paid a lot of money to the bad guy for Harvey. As the article says, everyone is doing exactly what they’re…

I agree that it took a special kind of density to not get the joke, but:

“Deadspin - Sports News without Access, Favor, or Discretion.”

I’m a non-NFL fan living in the DMV and I love Redskins dysfunction more than just about anything else.

Hey... what verse is that; because that would be useful as shit in the world of people that are out of my life but for some reason still friends on Facebook.

This... with all of my kids. But my favorite (no, that’s probably not the right word) instance was once when I took my oldest son to the aquarium (he was probably 4 or 5 at the time). Standing there looking at a display when I hear “hey Dad.” I turn around and he goes Rockem Sockem Robots on my balls. He must have hit…

Gruden says the guy doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing either, so it’s not just Shanahan.

Part of her post was right on. ESPN is all over the place with their “punishment.”

Meh... he’s as capable of being shitty as any of them. I’ll take Pedro for my ex-player analysis any day.

Curt Schilling works for ESPN; therefore, he represents ESPN. Curt Schilling did not stick to sports. ESPN saw that, and said “hey Curt... we’d like you to stick to sports around here, we need you to take a break for a bit.” So Sarah, ESPN agrees with you, and just enforced your opinion. Palin was totally right on…

I think that’s fair. The cartoon certainly only deals with one aspect of what a person might consider “free speech.” You’re definitely not wrong to mourn the lack of speech protections (even if only cultural, not legal) in our private lives.

I don’t think you actually read what I wrote, because I don’t believe that I’ve disagreed with you in principle. Real life doesn’t always work “in principle.”

Is there really a culture of free speech? Every day we see people get fired from jobs for poorly representing their employers on their private twitter accounts, or saying something stupid that someone recorded. Even if there isn’t an employment loss, people are castigated (rightly or wrongly) in public for shit they…

I’ll claim Poe’s Law. I know too many people that would have said that earnestly.
