Nosferatu with an NBA.

There’s honestly zero logic in this guy’s statement. “Hire the best applicant” and “try to get some ladies to apply” are in no way competing priorities. The perfectly competitive and celestially efficient market that so many white boomers conjure up in their heads is really something to behold.

That quote: how can someone become so fluent in SABR and sports analytics but still manage to completely disregard the need for significance testing?

Something about the winner shooting +1 across four days is really appealing to me. And I really enjoy watching pro golfers deal with links style courses, regardless of what the scores are.

I mean, 0-40 and firing a bunch of people or 1-31 and stubbornly refusing to change a single thing?

How does Ian Rapoport still have a job, much less any credibility? His batting average is atrocious.

As kayfabe personalities go, I really enjoy PFT Commenter (and despise just about everyone else at Barstool). When you say that Big Cat’s character works with a thin pseudonym and so should PFT Commenter, remember we’re talking about very different styles. It’s Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Mankind or Chris Farley vs.…

Does he? Because after who the hell knows how long, I just dropped The Ringer from all of my feeds since I can’t remember the last time I clicked on any of their links. And I used to wait for his drop on Page Two and immediately devour his podcast every week.

Once you see how simplistically a blogger or sportswriter sees the world, it’s impossible to unsee, and it’s in turn impossible to respect the writer’s opinion. When you see that Bill Simmons frames every damn thing around the fan’s enjoyment and experience, that Greg Wyshinsky sees all of sports as a giant kayfabe…

He won’t name the prospect but let’s dig, shall we?

For that matter, Deval Patrick.

His listed weight of 260 is a meme in hockey circles. He’s rumored to have been 300 at one point, and looking at pics from that time it’s hard to see him south of that figure.

Yes, but: the last time Cleveland looked checked-out against the Celtics in the playoffs, they lost 4 games to 2. That was also LeBron’s UFA season.

Vokoun was late in his career, but he was a damn good goalie. The year you’re talking about, he went 13-4 in the regular season and had a .933 SV% in the playoffs.

GMGM & Co. did a great job. But there’s no debating that this was not your garden variety expansion draft. For one, there was only one team involved. Two, the protection criteria was way more aggressive than it was in years past: every team took a risk. Three, the salary cap presented unique opportunities to Vegas. On…

As I’m reading this, there is an ad on the page for Barbasol featuring baseball players wearing white and red uniforms with all black cleats.

I’m not convinced that Team Canada (in this tournament) is that much better than the Oilers. The bigger difference is that they’re playing KHL-or DEL-level competition here.

This excerpt from his hagiography of Ozzie Newsome after the draft stands out as exceptionally fart-sniffy. My takeaway is: instead of BOTH of his first two picks becoming murderers, only one of his first two went on to kill another human being in cold blood. What a man!

Yeah, I’m with him on some of these but on others it’s a bridge too far.

Exactly this. From center ice it’s impossible to tell. From the bench angle, Wilson had surgical precision in targeting the head.
