I picked up your book yesterday and am only a chapter or so in, but you wrote that reaction speed is an inappropriate test to be running as one of the player evaluation tools, since the majority of people have around the same speed of reaction (Pujols being in the 66% of selected college students was the example).

Double post.

A Comet would get the best of him either way.

Had no idea Antoine Walker followed Katie Smith.

Never mind. Already mentioned.

"it's hard not to think that Fisher, not long ago mostly known as the jankiest player on some great Lakers' teams (and one Thunder roster), is very well-positioned to step in."

Kobe: Let my people go!

Remember Shaquem, when driving home drunk from the club; take a deep breath, keep your eyes on the road, and keep your hands at "and two."

Dooling: A gentlemen touched me.

I lived a few doors down the hall from Jovan in college my freshman year. I remember when I was moving my stuff in from another dorm, I bumped into him in the stairwell door. It's an often used cliche, but he literally filled the entire doorway. He offered to help without me even asking.

Eddie Johnson is that dude. He was playing for a local Greek team when I was studying there in 2010 along with Freddy Adu. He was such a pleasure to watch, especially given Greece's typical 9-1 formations.

Can this team's chemistry get any better?

Eh, yes and no. The amount of labor hours, laborers, and material that go into basic R&D alone would surprise you. Small pharma companies can come up with some pretty incredible things while operating on a razor thin budget, if not a slight loss, these days.

If pandemics are particularly interesting or terrifying (or both!) to you, pick up David Quamman's new book on zoonotic diseases titled Spillover.
