I'm not shocked that they're trying to make more money, I just think that turning a ballpark unlike any other into a place with giant TV screens in place of clear blue skies is a bad, stupid idea. If it makes you happy to have the views and experience offered by the ballpark ruined so that some random dipshit can put…

By "preserve" you mean turn a unique ballpark into a garish monstrosity while leaving it in such bad condition that there's a non-zero chance that the Cubs will have to play games in U.S. Cellular Field this summer, in service of making slightly more money for some wealthy douche-bro family.

With all this Jay Mariotti buzz happening, it's a good reminder that he's a no-talent domestic abuser/predator.

To be fair to Mariotti, the only reason he's doing these glamour shots in the street is because he's banned from the mall.

He looks like Mark Ruffalo if the Hulk punched Mark Ruffalo in the face.

It may shock people to know this, but Rovell is factually wrong. Several economists (Andrew Zimbalist being one) have worked out that the free market value of a college football basketball player is well into 6 figures. See here http://www.bigcollegesportseconomics.com/

In Rovell's world, offensive lineman wouldn't get paid either.

Wow. Wow.

Great piece, and only one small quibble. Rovell is not "harmless". His worldview is profoundly nihilistic and destructive, which itself isn't a problem, but becomes one when he incessantly peddles it to his x00,000 followers (he blocked me long ago, so I can't look up his stats). He's a sociopath with a large platform.

This wasn't some Kermit Washington shit, but it was interesting to see someone in the NBA have some actual balls and not just immediately do the whole "Someone Hold Me Back" thing.

No, it's not surprising. James Harden kicked him in the balls, that is worse than anything anyone else did in that game.

Dave's Outline:

The only thing Zirn nailed was the recasting of his original article to fit with his new narrative.

This is easy for me to say, and I have no idea what Kelly Dwyer's health insurance options or housing payment are like, but holy goddamn would this deserve someone quitting in protest.

Dan Gilbert is an arriviste shit who has zero idea of what it means to be a public figure, and Marissa Meyer is similarly clueless…

At least you guys acknowledged that Gilbert loves Zydrunas Ilgauskas. I mean, he loves all Lithuanians, and all immigrants, really. They're much less likely to read and understand the clauses on their mortgage when English is their second language.

Thus answering the age-old koan, "if an article on Yahoo is never read, can it still offend someone?"

I'm not sure if you understand cricket

Terrell Suggs tried to sell his tickets at face value which made the price plummet.
