Football slant route... that can be compared to a ground ball hit between the shortstop and third base, with runners on first and third and one out, right?

I still have the original white iPhone 1 if he'd like to use that as a litmus test for that particular market.

Those are individual parts of a whole. Football has touchdowns, incomplete passes, complete passes, turnovers on downs, yards on the ground, first downs, yards after tackle, yards after contact, etc. All of these things have, like you quantify then, percentages of success or failure that are not really debatable. You…

No clue, but there's always a subset of trolls who dwell on some mundane and irrelevant detail and then try to derail the entire conversation because nobody else agrees with them.

Personally, and this is just me... but I like the newer, high revving, high compression ones. Sure, they might never be classic, but they're perfect for the couple of years I'll keep them before trading up.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but anything that's tracked here can be tracked in other sports as well. Velocity, spin, route efficiency... these are not unique to baseball in any way.

Another alternative is a small stuff sack. I use something like these. I throw in some strategically folded clothes and it works great as a pillow. It also helps to keep things organized, which is something that I often see suggested for packed luggage as well.

I was 260 back in September when I bought my fitbit. In my experience their app put me at 2200 cal/day just to exist. Normal daily activities, meaning a good 10 hours at a desk and almost no workout-type activities ended up being another 500 cal/day.

Terry Crewes once said something along the lines that simply going to the gym was his biggest hurdle, regardless of whether he worked out or not. The trick, he said, was to make the gym a fun place to go to, regardless of whether he worked out or not. So he would sometimes go and just sit in the lobby and read. For…

This. I have recently realized that I actually have some burn-in on my cell phone's screen from my GPS app. I also realized that I have absolutely no idea how to get anywhere without using GPS.

For one, it was two outs. And B, it was against the Yankees, who were apparently completely oblivious to the play. Ya schmuck.

Statistically valid is not the same as proven, not by a long shot. This is just simple English vocab, regardless of what opinion you have. Heck, those two concepts wouldn't even apply to the same concepts. Also, the entire point of social sciences has nothing to do with proving anything, it's not even remotely a goal,…

This. The "anonymous" is only appropriate until there is actual danger involved. The sponsor

Yeah, this might actually be the only "perfect" internet comment I'll see in a while. And the fact that so many people just didn't get the joke... just, wow. Bravo good sir, bravo indeed.

"widely used" is not evidence against something being complete crap. Just look at MSIE.

Yes, the Ex-Officio is a lifetime purchase sort of thing. At least, that's what /r/bifl seems to think. I only have a couple of pairs, but they've lasted for the better part of two years without any stretching. And I say this as someone who has worked for Hanes in the past.

I believe you were the one that said "She does not have a single black/latino friend" as if that were a requirement to make jokes of a certain nature. I could care less about what studies say, but you seemed to justify hating on an individual's actions based on the skin color of the people she associates with. That…

So you're saying the "I can't be racist because I have a black friend" is a valid argument then?

Sorry, but PC came and went in the 90's. Anybody can make any joke they want, and use whatever stereotype or euphemism they want, regardless of what direction any other person's moral compass points.

There's some problems with the Amazon Dash (not button). First, it's invite only. I thought about requesting an invite, but after a bit of investigation I got this wonderful notification: Your address is not in our delivery area.
