That might actually be worse.
Entitled? It sounds like he worked his ass off to get to where he is now.
HAHAHAHAHAHA 2nd best? Guess those draft experts haven't noticed how much better a qb he is than Mariota.
How is Piazza a suspected juicer, but not the guy that pitched until he was 46?
The 8.9% of the writers that didn't vote for Pedro should have their voting privileges revoked.
We baseball fans love us some stats. Sometimes they seem to be more important than the players themselves. We use them to measure the abilities of players against their contemporaries and, with adjustments, against players of other eras. We use them to decide who is worthy of election to the Hall of Fame.

Oh dear lord. Wah wah wah the world hates me because I'm *insert whatever you are here*.
So because I'm not black I'm not entitled to think that a black person may have done something wrong? Because THAT was actually my point. Just because I'm white doesn't mean I have no right to look at a situation and say "Yes, that dude was wrong" - the fact that "that dude" is black doesn't preclude him from also…
You must have missed the memo. It doesn't matter what you say, people on the internet will be offended by it.
