I’m not so much in awe of how he can do the things he can do in the booth, such as predict plays.  I understand that the guy was an NFL QB very recently and a pretty darn good one at that.  I’m more amazed at how shitty every other color commentator is in comparison and I’m pissed I didn’t get to listen to a Tony…

Smith retaliated on his show: “Carr has no excuse for the season he had had. You got Amari Cooper. You got Khalil Mack on defense. You got Bo Jackson running all over defenders. You got one of the best coaches on Earth in John Madden. The only reason the Raiders didn’t win the Dragon Ball is that David Carr done gave…

When you have to sit Enes Kanter because he’s too good, you’ve built something truly special.

Is Griffin giving this interview while standing on an inner tube in a kiddie pool?

Did somebody say Zaza?

If he’s such a great prognosticator, then why didn’t he open the broadcast with, “Everybody should just go to bed right now, because in a few hours you will all want to kill yourselves.”

Forgive me if I don’t believe a word that comes out Dan Lozano’s sewer.

Whenever people are like this, I always wonder, “have you been to New Orleans?”

Nagy is already known by the Chicago media as remarkably transparent and forthcoming - it’s refreshing actually for an NFL head coach. He was asked his opinion and he gave an honest answer, and frankly a diplomatic one. Not sure how he comes off as a dick in the two clips above.

It’s all theoretical anyway. The 2003 Detroit Tigers had a team bWAR of 4.0 and only won 43 games. But, it’s a baseline.

That’s the only possible upside to this.... We can only hope.

Reinsdorf doesn’t fire execs. He just promotes them and leaves everybody wondering who’s really running the team.

you say that, but...

Only if Reinsdorf starts to finally see the same sea of empty seats as he enjoys at Guaranteed Loss Field. But he has no competition from the Cubs in the NBA.

It’s more like if someone cribbed another comedian’s voice but delivered the punchlines poorly. The style is the same but the result misses what made the original work.

Yeah, Jay flunks the “Is this player Manny Machado?” test of non-shittiness, but passes the “Is this a guy who can play centerfield, is roughly a league-average hitter, and will take $4 million for one year?” test of non-shittiness.

The problem is pretty much every position player on the roster is an end of the bench player on a good team. Sanchez, Davidson (gone-ish), Engel, Palka, are all guys who’s ceiling in “useful guy on the bench” on a good team and those guys are starting and getting. Even the ones that might be starters on a good team…

Not a lot of 4th OF are much better than that. If they were, they wouldn’t be 4th OF. Most of them are not complete players. They are either half a platoon with a little power, good defensively, or can run well. Rarely do they have two or even all three of those skills, much less hit well enough to play every day. His…

Do you honestly think Patricia will last beyond next year if they go 6-10 again?
