No, that would be a stupid thing to say.

The shit would have really hit the fan if this had happened in Oakland.

I'm not sure that the distance the ball has traveled really adds/detracts anything from the spectacularity of the catch.

You're probably a really nice dude, but you can tell that the 483 part is a little cove that's way deeper than the wall he's standing in front of, 43 feet in fact based on the actual dimensions of the field. Dudes weren't mysitcally stronger back then, quite the opposite. So this was a beast of a hit back then at…

This ball probably traveled 420' and would not have been a home run in, say, Comerica Park. See eg http://www.andrewclem.com/Baseball/PoloG…

The more details surface regarding Bironas's death, the weirder this story gets.

Yep, just another example of that dastardly Pacific Northwest media bias rearing it's ugly head.

Complaining about the writer's homerism while conveniently noticing how he said Oregon shat all over the field. Predictable.

WBAL reports he had just finished up an eight-hour blackjack session

I don't think that it's an excuse. it is football's fault that children are being taught starting from age 6 and 7 to run headlong into one another, colliding brains hundreds of thousands of times over a lifetime. it's then society's fault that people eat this shit up and ask for seconds. slaves vs. lions, really.

Nothing. It's still an evocative and popular colloquialism. But, you know, when there's actual, you know, science and doctors and stuff going on and stuff...man, sometimes they just want to come up with, I don't know, like an actual informed explanation or something.

No one cares about your fantasy team.

I do believe they make an exception for Bob Ley and the OTL people.

She'll be fine if her shop goes belly up, every news station in Alaska is jumping to hire a tokin' black reporter.

Yeah! Those old dudes always did things better and tougher and stuff, etc etc

Of course there's a difference. I just find the righteous indignation shown in several articles on here about the leaks humorous when they clearly have no problems writing gossip articles about celebrities sex lives.

Both are invasions of privacy, yet one is A-OK for some reason while the other is not. There's no…

He said "culpability". The NFL fucking hates that word.
