I’m expecting that officer will do a fine job and will not be bashing counter-protestors with his club without good reason.

We got there about the same way we got to having trouble determining if that guy in the photo is a police officer or just a well-equipped protestor.

Why is Eli Manning in that photo?

But will that still hold even after their teammate died?  Will this push any of them to break that cycle?  Just how indoctrinated are football players at that level?

There are fans that look at the things they like with a collector’s mindset, like the fans who are dissatisfied with the Star Wars movie The Last Jedi. These “collectors” feel ownership over that property and want to control it.

Are any of the players going to stand up to this?

Doesn’t this disprove deflate conspiracies?

The thing with pitch speed, though, is that there is a sliding scale. Throw 98 and maybe 7 of the opposing 9 can catch up to your fastball, throw 100 and maybe you improve to only 4 of the opposing 9.

The higher the velocity, the wider the range of launch angles that will still produce a home run.

I should have just opened with that  :)

Exit velocity is a useless metric because the only values that matter are “enough” and “not enough”.

That link is better than any conspiracy theories the alt-right have produced in the past three years.

Is there an official picture of a football helmet showing which portion of it is the “crown”?

“Just put the army in space, it’s that easy.”

commonsense solutions to major problems that people less intelligent than him would otherwise be incapable of discovering.

On the other hand, if you’re a user do you expect to be following an individual, or the abstract concept of whoever inherits that office?

The Kyle Brady pick always makes me laugh.  But hearing it at the end of that recap of years of insanity gives it whole new life!!

Stat of the weekend for me: that Friday game was 2:15.

I think you’re OK to be optimistic. They’d have to go 20-29 to miss 100 wins.

Tony Renda made his Sox debut as a pinch runner and managed to get his uniform dirty sliding in with the winning run.
