To be fair, that's one of the more difficult levels in Paperboy.

Coming soon.

Im surprised soccer games are completed considering the severity of the injuries the players sustain.

Outsourcing this one to Dan Steinberg:

I'm in the market for a delicious breakfast cereal. Any suggestions?

What does being a Canadian have to do with anything? Does that make your opinions on the sport that much more valid then us Yanks? Last time I checked the US had four of the original six and nearly just as many hockey players come from the US as Canada.

You're correct. I'm too lazy to look for it, but I remember reading an article on here once that statistically determined how much various plays helped/hurt the odds of scoring on any particular drive, and taking a sack caused one of the biggest drops in potential point-scoring percentages. So presumably an…

But I think the same principle applies - it was only the intentional grounding that prevented the sack. Really, it doesn't hurt the team at all; it just prevents the risk of a fumble or a QB being injured.

True, but many times those huge gains or touchdowns wouldn't happen without the hold in the first place. Holds certainly suck ass and rank high on the frustration scale, however teams seem to overcome them all the time, I could be wrong and it would be great to see a study on it, but it just seems to me that any time…

A hold can bring back a huge gain, even a touchdown. Intentional grounding, by definition, just makes an otherwise incomplete pass similar to a sack. Intentional grounding will not bring back a touchdown.

A lot of intentional ground penalties seem to be for more than 10 yards in my experience watching the game, yeah the "loss of down" is overstated, but it basically turns an in-completion into a sack, which is a much worse "penalty" for an offense then a hold. Teams are able to over come holds all of the time, sacks…

It is strange to me that some of the best and informed writing on race in America occurs on Deadspin. Writers like Mr. Howard deserve a wide audience.

Why why why? Why do people continuously misinterpret the severity of the intentional grounding penalty? An incomplete pass becomes a 10 yard penalty. The loss of down is not really a loss of anything. It is not like a holding penalty that can turn a 40 yard TD run into a 10 yard loss.

+1, Greg. Nice job.

How about this argument. WAR is the dumbest stat in a sport that has tons of goofy stats. WAR would work better as an NBA stat where you can actually measure a bench guys effectiveness on the game versus the guy he is playing behind. Baseball rosters are not set up to do this so this. Of course Canos WAR is waaaay…

So when you disagree with someone, that person is "trolling"? Come on.

Yes, exactly. There are outliers in life and in sports. That's why they play the damn games. "Oh, Trout has a higher WAR than Erik Bedard? He's definitely hitting a homerun here." Also, defense plays such a huge part in baseball and no one accepts that for some reason. Zobrist is pretty darn good at both offense and…

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what WAR actually is. I'm not defending it, but I certainly have higher praise for it than you do. Wins above replacement is how many more wins a team or player is worth over a player or team of players that are paid the league minimum (I think). So having a team WAR…

I'm sorry but WAR is the worst stat of all... "Let's not factor in causality at all because we 'know' how many games you would have won if we replace you with Shane Victorino." It's like Tebow's game against the Steelers having one of the higest QBR ratings of all time. Numbers DO lie if all you do is look at…

He is still the undisputed champion!
