Damien Cox is the worst, seriously. I hate Richard Griffin but apparently other people like him? Which I found strange but whatever.

If you think that 10 year olds today know who Trout is, this entire piece has sailed over your head.

I'm 28 but my impression is basically the same. And the worst part about it was, and I'm probably in the minority here, but I didn't even give a shit they were on steroids. I mean... let's be honest here, everyone knew Sosa and McGwire were on something. Just look at their physiques. No one cared. Then it was

The Jays have been really bad in this regard, not just because of the perception that the Yanks and Sox had an unfair advantage and were just going to win anyway, and then probably sign away all our good players in the offseason.

I was going to post about how everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room — competitive balance, or more precisely the perception of competitive balance, but you beat me to it.

The problem isn't that baseball's slow. Baseball's always been slow. The problem is that it's getting slower and slower.

Not to mention that each of those 162 games is now clocking in at 3-4 hours.

I honestly don't want us to get the Bills. They have a stink about them and we already have enough of our own stink, thank you very much. At least if they stay in Buffalo we might eventually get a team without all that stink baggage.

now Johnny Unitas, there's a haircut you could set your watch to.

I can't believe this entire story did not include more mentions of how much of a dump Buffalo is. Buffalo is like Detroit, only smaller, and no one cares that it's gone to (even more) shit.

iirc the NBA doesn't have a rule requiring an individual principal owner. The Raptors used to be owned by the Teachers' Pension Fund, and now it's owned by two media companies.

I watched Rajon Rondo outplay Lebron James handily in a playoff series. He might be overrated considering he hasn't played in a while, but fully healthy Rondo is a beast.

Part of the problem is that the "journalists" have almost gone out of the way to pre-emptively discredit themselves as out-of-touch dinosaurs. I seriously do not know a single person under 35 who reads newspaper beat writers for their primary source of news. Most beat writers nowadays are crotchety old guys

It probably won't, though. The reason why it's so watered down is because they have to fill all the Fox/FX/Fuel cards, and in turn, the added money from Fox offsets the money they lose at the gate/ppv.

The thing about smaller fighters is also interesting. Die-hards love smaller fighters because of the speed and endurance and technical skill, but those aren't things that appeal to casual fans. Casual fans like big guys with big names. Brock Lesnar comes to mind. There's a reason why boxing has never had the same

I would gladly take some Pride-level corruption if it meant Pride-level quality.

Comments like this go to show that there are still a few die-hards drinking the Dana White koolaid.

I doubt Dana's on roids considering that he looks like a flabby sack of shit.

MLB should dock them next year's second overall pick.
