He and Roy Halladay (rip) could start a wing of “best pitchers of the 1977 expansion class”

The most frustrating thing about these womens leagues are the caps on letting owners who want to spend more do so. It’d bring standards up or more players would want to play for those owners, but instead, arbitrary housing caps (which don’t take into account the differences in market costs for rentals) create…

Yes, the D-League provides housing for its players. Fuck, arena leagues house players and pay their health insurance during the season. It’s not that weird. 

For me, the best and only penance for any of this stuff — including Cam Newton’s comments about women talking football or Jameis Winston’s telling young women something horrible — is putting money towards programs for whatever groups these people disparaged. The problems aren’t about words, it’s about structures. Letti…

“overcame his upbringing.” sure. 

they don’t pay those overworked people nearly enough. Unlike the players, none of the staff - especially outside of the managerial suite - are even making six figures. It’s the job of the agents or whoever these kids pay as hanger-ons (family/friends) to chip in on this issue if it’s important enough to realize “oh I…

It’s the most fun intra-LA rivalry because Angels-Dodgers isn’t interesting, Chargers-Rams is still weird to everybody, and Clippers have been a perennial doormat to the dynastic Lakers. Galaxy have the advantage, but LAFC being in the actual city and being an upstart, it’s a lot better than the Chivas idea that’s for…

I love baseball, but I can’t wait until the sport dies a horrible death because the dudes that run it and commentate on it are fuddy duddies who probably don’t think segregation was all that bad.

Practice squad guys do get paid six figures. I mean, it wasn’t like he was managing a QuikTrip. 

She got drafted as a teenager, they sent her to live in Tulsa when she’d never lived in the U.S. before, I don’t blame her for almost quitting basketball after that. But cool not only that she’s come back, but is more dominant than ever. Been a fan of hers since she first got drafted. 

Part of why I don’t care if the World Cup expands more, because I think more countries deserve an opportunity on this stage. 

he’d be out of the league as long as jonathan martin has been.

Given ESPN doesn’t really cover hockey anymore, it’s cool to see someplace talking about it.

maybe the nats could handle this. one player much less an entire roster could handle what this would cost via donations in a month.

OMG yes.

Hinkie would not have taken Fultz. Much less, MOVE UP to take him WTF.

This shit is so higher ed that it hurts.

they will most certainly fuck it up. Shapiro and Atkins aren’t bad, but man they’re terrible at the PR game and well...taking a team that just needed tweaks and turning into a slurry of sub-par contention. Rogers meanwhile just counts the money.

D3 coaches have to compete with signing days at the D1 level and NAIA in some places, so they started orchestrating these stupid ass events to compete in the social media realm.
