At the same time as you’re making your point you’re kind of convincing me that we need more of this, if anything. “Game of Thrones in D.C.” and “Wonder Years in Space” both sound amazing. Do another! “Medieval Friends!” “Seinfeld At The Bottom Of The Ocean!” “Johnny Carson In The Distant Future!”

I’m a Niner fan in the wilderness sort of on the lookout for another team to root for temporarily while I refuse to support mine... weirdly enough, despite the fact that shitting on Alex Smith to shoehorn Kaepernick’s long list of glaring weaknesses into the starting lineup was the beginning of the end of the Niners’…

Modern no-trade lists are generally designed to give the player additional leverage, not necessarily to simply exclude cities/teams the player doesn’t want to play in/for (though, typically, some of those are included). A player can waive his no-trade clause at his discretion. So no-trade lists will usually include an…

USMNT is Gonzaga. This is great.

Yeah and then all the coal miners in West Virginia will get their jobs back cleaning hotel rooms in Laredo! MAGA!

How the hell, though, did “Trust the Process” replace, even if briefly, the “E-A-G-L-E-S” chant as the default chant for bored Philadelphians?

Sad!

Unfortunately Flywheel is run by a bunch of crooks - the company I work for is a (very small-potatoes) former vendor of theirs, and we got stiffed for what is a large amount of money to us and I’m sure a drop in the bucket to them when the company changed hands in early 2016 (the original developers apparently sold to…

Either your everyday wypipo are way worse than I thought, or Chicago Dude’s Racist Starbucks Rant (2) is a little outside scope, no?

Yeah, sue that dipshit, not these guys!

this price is only available today, so don’t sleep on it.

He wants a cohesive, comprehensive effort on the part of his employer to put him in the best position to succeed. It’s actually not hard to understand (or ‘weird to think about’) at all. A really good example that you may not have heard about is when two people familiar with negotiations told USA TODAY Sports that …

Via Spin’s Jordan Sargent:

Close, but your reading still needs work. He’s saying “The people who write the checks keep telling me “we’ll start trying after we get a new stadium, we swear!””

Well who signed Hell up for a ticket giveaway in the first place? And if Hell wasn’t realizing it before, they sure are now - you know Deadspin is high on Hell’s daily reading list.

Yes. As many other commenters have pointed out, the change in the physical characteristics of the ball is well understood and documented. The seams are markedly lower than they used to be. This causes pitchers to grip the ball more tightly, generating more friction, particularly to throw the four-seam fastball as…

Funny. I remember being told in no uncertain terms that INTENT IS IRRELEVANT WHEN JUDGING OBSTRUCTION. This call was pure steaming crap and that’s not a matter of opinion. It literally does not matter what Holliday was or was not thinking about; you just can’t be interfering with a fielder making a play, especially…

Wow. Yes. I’m using this.

This guy gets it.
