I think he could easily be a congressman.

I know we like to joke about Pop/Kerr 2020 and what not, but I so earnestly think Steve Kerr would make an incredible public official. He’s young, progressive, successful, and infinitely charming. Not to mention, the backstory surrounding his father is such a compelling narrative as to why he is the man he is today…

I saw Barry wrote this and you got my hopes up that today was another Jez-Deadspin swap. Are we going to see that anytime soon? I’ve always been a big fan.

As much as I love watching football, it’s a cruel and barbaric sport that I would fault nobody for wanting to do with it. I hope one of the end results of the extensive medical information that has come out this past decade is that it pushes more kids towards baseball. Of course, if that were to happen it would…

Can we all agree that if teams are going to leach off taxpayer money to build stadiums, they need to make the entirity of their finances available to the public? Yes, this includes you, baseball.

Even better was when they panned to all the white celebs in the crowd who had zero clue what the fuck he was talking about

Moonlight winning was fucking awesome. I literally stood up and cheered when it was announced. I’m already preparing to be pissed off when it inevitably loses to La La Land in the Oscars.

This will be an interesting job opening. PJ Fleck seems like the homerun hire but I can totally see someone like Craig Bohl thriving in that gig.

I think every coach hates that shit. Whether it’s Chip Kelly, Urban Meyer or Nick Saban, they all want nothing to do with booster hand wringling. What it boils down to for ones desire to coach in college is this - can you put up with the rigorous demands of recruiting? It seems like Chip can do that and he was quite…

He needs to go back to college. This has nothing to do with how good of a coach he is or that he seemingly failed at the NFL level, but more of a commentary on the fact that he is simply a better fit at the college level.

Oh man, when I eventually see Pop get emotional over this, I’m going to turn to fucking ribbons.

Look at my sweet baby boy getting after it.

FTFY Tim

Wait, hold up, lets back track here...

Yes and no. Yes, all teams care about the service ramifications in terms of maximizing control years. Not all teams about the financial ramifications involved with it.

I still contest that the Royals and Indians are an exception, not the rule. No doubt that shrewd front offices and an investment in analytics has helped narrow the gap, but even well run small market teams are still faced with not just a massive gap in spending, but more importantly, a significantly smaller margin of…

Service time rules like Super Two are garbage for many reasons. As you said, they reward teams for keeping good players in the minors, but where they really piss me off is how they impact smaller market teams ten times more than larger market teams, which in turn, also impacts the players involve. Small market teams…

So basically, no real meaningful change. I guess dropping the first round price tag on free agents is interesting, but beyond that, it all seems pretty status quo. Especially in respect to trying to even create the allusion of parody/fairness between market sizes. Some things that could have been helpful to smaller…

Ken Rosenthal is my favorite reporter in sports for many reasons, but perhaps his best attribute is how chill he is about people making fun of his height. I feel like a lot of people in the media would have thin skin about that sort of thing, but he willingly runs towards it.

In before all the attempted Trust the Process puns.
