Yeah, first thing I would do as commissioner would be to ban batting gloves. Nowadays, hitters adjusting their gloves between pitches comprises about 60% of the game action.

This must annoy white players a lot. To constantly be called unskilled and unathletic and only getting by based on "hustle" and "hard work". I'd much rather be called athletic and skilled than a "grinder".

Do we believe that an actual intern really exists? Or is simply an invention to avoid blaming a real person? Seems pretty unlikely that a summer intern would be the one answering questions in the public information office of a huge agency.

Durant should be counted in Maryland. He grew up in Suitland and Seat Pleasant and started playing ball at the Seat Pleasant Recreation Center. Michael Beasley should also be assigned to Maryland. Love to see this same analysis done on NBA players and love to see it applied to counties. I've got a feeling that Prince…

Maybe he never talked to anyone, ie he is lying. There hasn't been any proof produced that there were any actual phone conversations. Just Te'o spinning his yarns to the captivated "reporters" about them.
