I don’t have the patience or energy to look this up for myself, so I’ll just ask you all: how many times has a lower seed swept a higher seed in the first round (or any round, for that matter)? Can’t imagine it happens very often, and no instances are coming to mind.

You guys remember a few months ago, when everyone made fun of those body builders arguing about how many days are in a week? Well, your conversation about what constitutes “batting around” was the perfect baseball version of that. Nicely done.

Fifth death: the son of samdy (or do you only count deaths we see perpetrated?)

Does this even include that terrible 19 inning, seven-hour Yankees-Red Sox game? Probably doesn’t skew it very much, but removing that one data point would shave a few seconds from that 8-minute/game number.

What’s the etiquette for buying off-registry? I always want to buy something fun or useful that the parents might not have thought of, but worry that they might have it already or not want or need it. And it’s not fun asking them if beforehand, removes the surprise element...

A-Rod hitting a home run while the Yankees still lose the game truly is the perfect combination.

“If I find I’m making a white lie, I’ll back off and say “no, that’s bad.”

Do any national anthem singers get paid, whether amateur athletes, celebrities, or random contest winners?

Wow it was so good the announcers just assumed it hit the post and barely gave Howard any credit for the save. That was the least enthusiastic save call they could possibly have given.

She should have used Mayo instead. That would have really been the worst.

A Week 6 matchup between Buffalo and Cleveland in Los Angeles would sell out in 12 seconds, 13 tops. Do you know how many miserable Clevelanders and Buffaloes have moved to Southern California, Arizona and Nevada since the Rose Bowl started airing on TV?

Did the match take place in Russia or Montenegro?

Are we sure Calipari wouldn't give Poythress a chance next year? If they win the championship this year, maybe Calipari will start thinking about legacy and all that bullshit and realize the one thing he's missing is his Redick/Hurley/Wojo type of symbolic four-year guts-and-overcoming-adversity player to really round…

I haven't followed him or college hoops enough, so asking here: is he good enough to get drafted? Could we see him playing in the pros?

This could easily be spun as a positive for Mets fans, not just owners. As a Mets fan living in the NYC area, I would WANT to see Harvey pitch more than other guys, so why not make it easier for me to do so?

I was gonna ask something similar. With that Northern Iowa example, what if one rich donor from NI just decided, "screw it here's 20 million go get some players"? Or say, T Boone Pickens at OSU.

This stadium reminds me of LAX. LAX is a very ugly airport. This would be a very ugly stadium. It's perfect.

"The commissioner is clearly delusional and sees his dad's ghost every time he has to fine someone for spitting."

How will lax bros react to being trolled so hard?

Bears are SO much better at summersaults than me. So much better.
