Ruth, Wagner, Bonds, Ted Williams, Maddux, Cobb, John McGraw, Gehrig, Aaron, Mays, Mantle, DiMaggio, Musial, Hornsby, Speaker, ARod, Seaver, Ott, Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Mathewson, Lajoie, Lefty Grove, Joe Morgan, Foxx, Pete Alexander, Clemens, Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, Schmidt, Brett, Greenberg, Randy Johnson,…

So Babe Ruth’s production vs. only about 60% of the country’s best pitching talent should be what he’s judged by as well?

Goddammit, I thought it meant I was selected for Slytherin, sufferin’ succotash!

No, the only thing you will hone in on with such a system is the unintentional biases of the system. There is no guarantee that the system you think does X will ever settle out to reliably measure X given enough data. It will certainly never measure anything to 2 significant digits if it is based on qualitative…

Where would they get their tiki torches from?

They did a real nice job against the Colts on Sunday.

Wait ‘til they bring that sushi casserole on in here...

As I read it, he only admitted that he wasn’t one kind of person. He could still be a potted plant and not be a “football person.”

Mark Emmert - as soon he dies, the conferences will squabble amongst themselves and Balkanize collegiate sports.

Are you trying to get Josh Gordon? Because this is how you get Josh Gordon.

So I bought this thing (good marketing, FO!) and the intro includes this wonderful snippet:

given their disdain for anything not thought up in 17th Century France, it’s probably called “agitation inutile”

No, it was “Hang me”

That adjective has been outpaced by both the White House and the Landover Unaccountably Racist Epithets. I think jokes involving either personnel base should be considered ‘outminuted’.

It only didn’t secede because Lincoln allowed them to continue slavery there. Although the accent is somehow even worse than Alabama’s, the content spewing from yokels that populate Maryland’s farm country is every bit as vile as that of the Southern Man.
