I don’t think they would have. But the writer is going on the notion that Tottenham would have won the 4 games they drew when Kane wasn’t in the lineup early in the (draws @ Arsenal, @ WBA, @ Bournemouth, and Vs. Leicester).

It’s a bit of stretch to assume Tottenham would have won the league. They started the year 3 wins/2 draws.

My first thought when saw this was, “Was Tebow born in 1987, because I know those wood frames are from 1987.”

Caps are 3-7 in Game 7s, not 0-7. @Revolution was listing losses only. They are 2-5 at home in Game 7

Depends on the school and faculty adviser. I wasn’t a Yearbook editor, but I was involved with it (about 20 years ago) and in our school, the faculty adviser was hands off and my friend who edited the yearbook was in charge of checking the quotes too, pretty easy to miss something when you are looking for specific…

Uh. Not saying it’s fair, but “mediocre” is a bit absurd way to describe Sharapova. She has a career Grand Slam, she’s arguably the best non-Williams Sister player of the generation (Henin, Clijsters are in that conversation, for sure)

Maybe, but that was the Pittsburgh Zoo who wrote that.

Yeah... That was my thought too.

I get that Federer is older, but I don’t get the idea that his career was in such decline that a win was completely shocking. He was injured and missed the US Open and Australian Open in 2016, but his last four results in majors before the Australian Open win were: (2015 Wimbledon: Finals, 2015 US Open: Finals, 2016…

Can we all take a moment to point out the lunacy at the bottom of the screen

I’m not sure who’s the better player at their 2 week or even 1 year peak. But I think even if Nadal does win, Federer’s still the all-time best.

I suppose it does a little, but it just comes down to their records when they didn’t win

I’m not sure how that stat is derived, but it seems to claim that Bert Blyleven, Mussina, and Schilling are better than Pedro Martinez and that David Wells and Frank Tanana (!) are better than Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, among others.

Schilling was an awesome pitcher from 1997 to about 2004. Far better than Mussina was over any period in his career.

He played for the Yankees during that time. The Red Sox were good some of the years Mussina was on Baltimore, but I think the AL East factor is a bit overrated

Eh, I see Mussina and Schilling as having similar HOF credentials for different reasons. Mussina is really hurt by never being a “great” pitcher. I think he never finished better than 3rd for Cy Young, and had a pretty mediocre ERA for a HOF candidate.

Is Creighton still a mid-major? I know Big East isn’t the Big East 10-15 years ago, but I’d consider it a major basketball conference still (though, outside of Villanova last season, the Big East has badly underperformed in the tournament since splitting)

I suspect Larry Walker is punished for playing in Colorado. I don’t think that’s totally unfair. For his career his numbers were:

Unclear as to why that’s an embarrassment.
