That's why I specifically mentioned the casual stuff like greenies. Things that countered the natural power drain that comes with playing the grind of 150+ games a season. Obviously players are still using PEDs because they're still getting suspended for it.

I'm in the same age group so we grew up on the same baseball. I think it has merits beyond that though. It's good for the league & small market teams who really depend on being able to develop stars that will fill seats if those players can have sustained success & marketability. I think a league where "star" hitters…

I was watching a game recently (can't remember who the broadcasters were) & they were talking about how offense is really down & they touched on what you said about trying to hit away from the shift & utilize more of the field. The ex-player analyst said that a lot of the position players that have entered the league…

Ape got in too many petty pissing contests too. At least before I stopped paying attention to him.

Right. It's like an acceptable professional version of companies who abuse the intern system.

But if "the heart wants what the heart wants", does this not prove that love is more alive than ever?!

If you want a good chuckle/migraine read the comments here.

Kim Kardashian: Hollywood stopped working for some players. Given the game's popularity—it's currently the number one free game on iTunes—

Around the time CK went on his rant about the testing, someone else I follow talked about how he got burned out from that kind of culture & between 9th-11th grade went from routine A+'s to mostly C's & B's. He said guidance counselors were constantly telling him & his parents he was throwing his future away but he had…

There was really nothing to lose for them, so I'm surprised these never happened. Fans have proven that pretty much 99% of the time they'll purchase whatever shit has their team logo on it no matter how fucking hideous it looks.

Dude, I get like triple that IN A DAY burying bodies for Google.

So they play "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" when one of THEIR players gets beaned? Do they make sure the guy isn't injured first?

I think the real anger from LeBron leaving the Heat would come in the fall when the actual fans have to keep hearing people ask "Where's LeBron? *points to nearest black man* Is THAT him?" from the other 80% of the fan base. The ones who might not even be aware they won a championship in 2006, just "the 4 straight…

Sucks he couldn't fit "COOL 4EVR" on that plate.

Sadly, this is very much already a thing.

Surely you have neighbors to advise of your status as a registered sex offender so it's probably not a great thing to waste so much of your afternoon grading my joke.

THANK YOU PROFESSOR CHUCKLES LOL.

"People would probably take it less seriously (whatever that means)"

Yep. They wanted someone to fawn all over the VIP treatment & hype surrounding LeBron's tour. Probably out of a combination of cost & remaining sting from "The Decision" ESPN wasn't an option to give them the Lynn Hoppes treatment & they made their bet on a newer London (CELEBS! CELEBS! GLAMOUR! WEALTH! 24/7!!!!!…

Instead of lashing out at this woman collecting what she qualified for they could certainly drive to their nearest cafe with outdoor seating & find a white woman wearing sweatpants with words on the ass, over-sized sunglasses & driving a luxury car from this decade to rage against instead.
