I went to a Jays game in September, and felt so bad for those people who were *still* wearing Lawrie jerseys. Until July 28, 2015, it’s been almost excruciating to be a Jays fan.

+1,000,000 (drachmas to the dollar)

Except they have no rotation. Right now it’s Stroman, Dickey, Hutchison, and Sanchez (who will almost certainly go back to being a starter). Estrada is a UFA and exceeded everything he’d done in his career to this point (meaning he may command more than he’s worth), and Price will easily get a $200 million contract,…

I’ve always laughed at people, during the Jays hot streak, who claim this franchise is a “sleeping giant”, “35 million potential viewers”, “Dodger-sized payroll possible”, and all that b.s. Truth is, the Jays are owned by a corporate entity that sees them as nothing more than the marketing arm of their highly…

“Word”

Another thing: Sammy needs to keep in mind that the last study done of NFL players showed they had an average career of 3.5 years, and life expectancy of 55.

As a diehard Bills fan (I know, I know), I have to say this runs much deeper than Sammy. The implosion we’ve been seeing for the last few weeks (Dareus, Hughes, and M. Williams all running their mouths too) has been 20 years in the making. What does one expect of a franchise that’s been allowed to rot for an entire…

He was really out of bounds with those comments.

As well as accusations that he was on the injured list to hide a failed drug test. Marv Levy went off, “that’s a damn lie” to a reporter, if I recall correctly.

“I feel his pain”

In this age of the internet and taking offense on other peoples’ behalf, I’m betting there will be plenty who fume about what Yost and the Royals “did” to Volquez. But if that’s what his family wanted, it’s probably what he wanted too. I’m sure others have similar stories. When I was a university student, I had 3…

Ah, the internet. Letting people get offended on the behalf of strangers since 1994.

Nah, veggies are actually pretty terrible. But so is wiping our asses, and we still do it. Most people could probably add 5 quality years to their life just by eating a handful of broccoli or carrot sticks once a day.

To be fair, I think there’s a lot of hidden sugar consumption that occurs because people have been told they should substitute away from fat. So yes, it’s obvious in one sense, but in another sense it does call into question “nutrition””advice” and the changes to how food is produced that have occurred in the last 4…

Yep. Most of them/us won’t though.

“Yes it does”

Indeed. People are fatter today than 30 or 40 years ago because the amount of processed food (loaded with sugar) that’s consumed has increased hugely. In the mornings at work, I’ll have a bowl of cereal. I’ve had people comment on the fact that I put half-and-half (10% m.f.) in it rather than homogenized or skim. Yet…

A lot of the antipathy scientists/nutritionists have to meat and fat comes directly from a 1970s study of Inuit in Greenland who ate almost nothing but seal, whale, and salmon, yet who had almost never heard of heart attacks. For some reason, it was decided that the “other” fatty stuff that we in the developed world…

All processed food is like that. Which is why it’s so curious most nutritionist and health “experts” will tell people to avoid butter and eggs, but have no problem with factory-made garbage sweetened more than most homemade deserts are. Which is more likely to make people fat?

Shhhhh...don’t tell that to Big Health. They’re too busy telling us not to eat butter and bacon but stuff our faces on “low fat” artifically sweetened garbage.
