Is it really the Mormon thing? That's insane. Santorum - a guy who lost by 18 points in his last election in a swing state - would do way more to damage to their cause long-term than a Mormon President. I don't really care about folks' positions in these here parts, but thanks for the perspective.

See I get that idea, but economic rationality still argues that even stupid consumers still make decisions in their best self-interest. Nominating someone who will give your hated Presidential rival a free pass to another term - thereby ensuring the next dude nominated from your party would almost certainly be a…

I get that, as the Median Voter Model kinda explains that between a primary and a general. I'm just surprised that candidates that are such non-starters in the general are still gaining such traction. Base voters were willing to dump Bachmann and Perry after they proved themselves ill-suited for the general, similar…

Primaries DUAN,

a perfect hitter being when a guy kicks a homerun touchback for six points in the overtime period, of course.

I just would've loved to have seen more Magic-Jordan Finals. I hate the Lakers but Johnson is one of my favorite all-time players. Plus, his initial retirement may have been the most shocking in professional sports.

Koufax is probably my all-time favorite in this category. A Jewish southpaw out of Brooklyn who becomes the most unhittable pitcher of all time, only for arthritis to take it all away at the peak of his game. The least likely kind of guy to become that kind of pitcher and the least likely kind of injury to end it all.…

Hank Gathers falls into that same category as Bias.

Fine. could have. Don't be so fatalistic about your O-Line. Newton will simply blow out a knee after the Panthers run him 20+ times a game.

If I could have prevented one player's career from being cut short and/or seriously limited by injuries it would be...

Brilliant.

First he rooted for the Lions, then the Patriots, then the Utah Blaze of the Arena League, then back to the Patriots.

When asked to explain why he held no animosity towards the team that beat his Patriots, Romney replied, "The New York Football Giants are people, my friend."

Mark Sanchez tried to do the same thing at a middle school in New Jersey, but the game had to be cancelled after every ball ended up in the rafters.

After that dunk, Don Quixote's quest took him to Newark.

I love these.

This. That fallacy drives me nuts. It's not running, it's your diet that causes atrophy. Also, it's not bad for your knees - another common myth - to do that distance if you use proper form and stay on even surfaces.

What Raysism said. So long as you keep up the protein intake you can top 35 miles in a week and not burn away muscle. It'll only "burn away" if you take away time from lifting to do more running or don't replenish your system after running. Also, stay off the carbs. A paleo diet can accomplish that, but basically if…

The best feature of the Wicker stadium is the secret one where the top closes and bees get funneled in.

Meanwhile, Roger Goodell retroactively fined Peyton for wearing socks that were not of regulation length.
