Does golf take some supreme concentration that hitting a major league pitched baseball doesn’t? Would MLB players routinely be averaging .400+ but aren’t because fans are yelling out (shudder) their wives names?

I think it’s like most police/fire/military type jobs. You go through an academy/bootcamp/training period where you get low pay. After that training is completed you get a promotion and raise. You’re no longer a recruit, but now probationary. Once you pass your probationary period you get another raise and pay boost.…

Totally agree with the real time replay. Have a review official in the booth who watches every play, there is at least 10-15 seconds between plays which should be enough time to review most play. If there is a challenge called for, the replay review can have a confirmed/overturned ready for the official almost…

On non-challenged plays the refs make the right calls most of the time. So the interpretation of the rule comes down to on replayed plays, why not define “ability to perform a football move” as a time period in seconds of firm control of the ball without movement. Have a timer on the screen which the ref can control.…

I don’t think so. I walk through these things on a daily basis: Here are the Carver houses on the upper East Side with easy access to the 4,5,6 and Q trains. A block away from Central Park. Look at the density compared to surrounding blocks:

I don’t know that you even need to go as far as an island, they are basically built on islands as they are. Public housing in Manhattan(and many other areas of New York City) are among the least densely developed blocks of the city due to the design of the buildings themselves. Many of the buildings are situated on…

To your point the tunnel is used by 200,000 riders daily. For a point of comparison the population of Wyoming is 585,000 people. There is about 900 miles of interstate highways in Wyoming. I would venture to guess it would cost much more than $30 billion to rebuild Wyoming’s interstates and it would benefit far fewer…

If there is one lesson the rest of the world can learn from the United States it is that our the criminal justice system works great! We imprison more people than any other country in the world and when they get out they are fully functioning, contributing members of society with a very low recidivism rate.

I suggest checking out the Wikipedia page for Jagr’s draft year in 1990 for a ‘Let’s remember some guys’ session. Makes you really appreciate Jagr’s longevity when you realize guys like Marty Brodeur, Owen Nolan, Keith Primeau, Darryl Sydor, Derrian Hatcher, Felix Potvin, WES MCCAULEY(!) were all part of the same…
