No part of me would want to be, or could be, a baseball catcher. Getting crossed up, though, has to be at the top of the list of reasons why. I don’t know why, but the idea of it happening freaks me out.

Perhaps you’re right. I grew up in a metro area (that one actually!) with tons of pro teams and relatively little college sports. So maybe that’s why I see it differently. College sports don’t matter much there, and while many will root for, say, St. John’s if they make the tournament, no one gets too into college…

Then cheer for them! I didn’t explain myself well originally. You should root for whoever you want. I did the same thing, grew up rooting for Notre Dame, and I didn’t end up going. I like them, and root for them. I just don’t have the kind of “passion” for them that you see above (if being malicious counts as…

Oh, never said you can’t cheer for them. I’m talking about these “diehard passionate” fans that do crap like you see above. I just never got the “extreme passion” for some place where you personally have no direct connection.

Used to, not anymore.

Oh, please. We all know how things in Louisville can’t even last 15 seconds, forget about over a week.

It does have an undergraduate enrollment of 22k, so that’s entirely possible

How many of those fans do you think even attended the University of Kentucky?

Got 5 clear responses, explaining the situation. Then you get one internet tough guy comment. Hey, 5/6 isn’t bad for the internet!

I understand that, my misunderstanding was if this investigation (and, thus, his misleading comments) went on while he was at Baylor. It apparently was.

That, in turn, reminds of a great scene from Extras where Ian McKellan rips on acting (and, in a way, the idea of “method acting”):

Because Ian Eagle has the same syllable (which is emphasized) in both. It sounds weird.

RIP

Just want to comment that I’m a history teacher, and I use this scene to teach the JFK assassination. Thank God for Seinfeld. I got like like 10 clips that I can relate to history lessons, some of which actually directly apply.

In fact, Bliss had violated NCAA rules by paying Dennehy’s tuition himself after Dennehy transferred from New Mexico. The NCAA was closing in on Bliss, and he cooked up the drug dealing story (which Waco PD say there is no evidence for) to shake investigators.

Trust The Process.

Wouldn’t surprise me, if only because it seems that every other pitcher ends up with Tommy John. Same reason it wouldn’t surprise me if he struggles; it seems like every other big acquisition ends up struggling on the new team.

I was about to comment about how stupid a take that was. And then I looked up their stats to get some ammunition... Holy shit, you actually are right about that. I’d rather have Quintana than Sale, especially once you factor in cost.

My point was that Schindler’s List isn’t exploitative, because it is directly about the tragedy. It’s telling a story that adds to the collective remembrance of it, and it’s clearly done with respect. The tragedy she’s using has nothing to do with her performance. It’s just the background music. At least the Holocaust…

Yeah, it’s like going for two after a touchdown. You do it cause, even though it’s riskier, but the payoff is greater.
