I’m having a real philosophical quandary thinking about Zack Hample. Would I hate any “ballhawk” this much, or do I just hate him more specifically due to his extremely punchable smarmy face? If he did not look like that, would I mind as much? It’s inconclusive.

The use of “administrator” has me thinking about da share z0ne and consequently laughing my ass off.

He should have changed his name along with his appearance. Chances would have been good he could have gotten another HC gig.

BP is the old couch you bought when you moved into your first apartment. I have strong feelings of nostalgia for it, it’s still pretty good in its current form, and it’s a strong option for someone just starting out. But there are a lot more options, some of them better, some of them just different and thus maybe more…

What is the moral way to handle this situation? It’s a given his crimes are horrible. Should he not be allowed to pitch in a major college program? Any college program? Should he not be drafted nor play professional baseball? Should he be able to work a different job?

Three dogs standing on top of one another

Same.

I hope she’s good so I can stop pretending that Jessica Mendoza is when virtue signalling.

Weird Maddon would feel this way considering when he had Aki Iwamura on the Rays, they had a whole host of people-sliding-into-second problems including once where Coghlan (again!) slid into him and he tore his ACL and arguably ended his US career.

I’m as ambivalent about the marijuana stuff as anyone but isn’t Josh Gordon THE argument against wide legalization/allowed use in the NFL? He literally couldn’t quit if you gave him millions of dollars, fame, and the ability to play a game he loves.

Lol the Celtics and the Heat were the two contending teams in the East. The Celtics Big 3 vs. LeBron/Wade/Bosh on the Heat. The Nets were not competitive and KG and Pierce endorsed going to the Nets because they realized Boston was going to rebuild. If they vetoed the trade to stay in Boston they would have actively…

I don’t know these athletes any better than you do but unlike you, I don’t feel a compulsive urge to proclaim that the feelings they are articulating in public are stupid or inauthentic. To be honest, it’s none of our fucking business what X athlete’s relationship is with Y athlete. But when they’re asked for more…

You’re right. Your relationship with a co-worker and your stoic decision to take another professional job is absolutely a reasonable approximation of the dynamics at play with these highly competitive millionaire athletes who literally travel the globe together and play under the pressure of crazy fanbases, packed…

On Windshield Wipers: When rain is light enough, I for some reason attempt to work the wipers manually. In an old car of mine, I would flip the wipers on and off when enough rain accumulated on the windshield to be a visibility problem. In the newer car I bought, there’s a button on the control that activates the…

Humor me for a second by picturing yourself in a hypothetical situation, okay?

Covering for him is what literally every organization does on a regular basis when this sort of thing happens. Well documented. And you know what? They pay the player too. The manager/coach gives the player a good ass chewing and they move on. If the player has repeated issues (as Harvey seems to), the organization…

Is this a troll comment? Who cares about divisions in basketball? Also, Pierce and KG were traded, were noticeably declining in skill, and resulting in a total heist of a trade package.

Yeah, how dare those dudes be mad that one of the members of their close-knit Big Three jettisoned them for a direct rival without mentioning it was a possibility and then never reaching out to them again after. I know when my closest friends pledge a lifelong bond and then cast me aside with no warning and then never…

The Mets unsurprisingly screwed up the oldest textbook player management technique in which the club says publicly that he’s “out with flulike symptoms” and chastises him in private. That said — fuck Matt Harvey.

I hate Trump’s guts but this video makes me feel vaguely better about him. Not enough to stop hating him, or really even bring me remotely close. It doesn’t move the needle. Trump is the worst. But this is a seemingly normal human thing that I couldn’t have pictured him doing otherwise. I only imagined his familial…
