Yeah but there’s leeway given in terms of getting the ball *to* the inbounder. Like say the opponent tosses you the ball after a basket, but you bobble and drop it...It’s not going to be called OOB until you actually get *possession* of it. And that’s probably what should have been called here if you’re a stickler:…

Alan Trammell has higher career and peak WAR than McGwire. And his double play partner Lou Whitaker has lower peak, but also significantly more career WAR. Get those guys in.

I always thought “No One Else” was being told from the point of view of an overly jealous, controlling man; not necessarily Rivers himself. Or that he was exposing his unseemly jealous side; not glorifying it. It’s pretty hard to interpret that song as Rivers trying to be romantic or anything.

And yet if the kids were having ACTUAL sex with each other (which I’m sure many of them were), nobody cares. Or their parents care but there’s no suspensions. Can we end the war on sexting please?

Certain kinds of talent are rarer than others at different levels of competition. Being good enough to play college QB is rare, but being able to be 260+ lbs but still run a 4.5 40 is super rare.

Um, it’s possible he could have played excellently in his first three years, as well. Maybe they win another Superbowl in one of those years if Rodgers is playing instead of Favre. Plus, sitting rookie quarterbacks is how the NFL has done it for decades, so it’s not like you or the Packers discovered some new…

I’m pretty sure it’s nearly impossible to set one of these things off without it being actually armed and fired. Like even dropping it from an airplane won’t set one off.

Print it on some thin paper and crinkle it up? I remember in high school kids were able to print out US dollars on an inkjet printer, crumple them up, and pass them off to inattentive cashiers.

“Among all players recorded at the time of this writing, no player with over 50 PER has played more than 7 minutes while recording it, except Steph (50.4), who’s played 127.”

Kobe was a great defender in his prime. Or at least great for someone who had to expend his energy scoring. (Remember, Jordan also took a lot of breaks on defense or let Pippen guard the best opponent to conserve himself.)

It is amazing to go, in 2 seasons, from an all-time great offense to a league-leading defense.

I thought it was immediately obvious that’s what Kelly was doing. Wasn’t it to almost everybody?

There’s different grades of tear.

True shooting % - .760
Win shares/48 - .646
Offensive Rating - 152
PER - 52.3

This play makes it apparent how much smaller and slower Duke’s players are than Miami’s. It’s sad that Miami even almost lost.

I find moths to be one of the most benign of all insects. Probably because instead of looking/feeling like some miniature alien monster, they just feel like they are made of paper. Just fluttery paper in the air, like papery ashes from a fire. And they’re slow moving so they’re easy to catch/kill, and they pose no…

But that’s just that unnamed staffer’s opinion. Doesn’t make it true. And it doesn’t really make sense to me.

But that’s just that unnamed staffer’s opinion.

The logic of official “errors” in baseball is bunk all-around. Not just how they’re scored for the fielder but also in how unearned runs are counted for the pitcher (sure the runs coming directly from the error or that baserunner shouldn’t count, but future runs after 2 outs are recorded should still be the pitcher’s…
