"If there's a single song in the history of this country that deserves no creative interpretation, it's that one."

That's a good point. I just feel like the Falcons should have the option to decline. But that might set a bad precedent w/r/t dead-ball fouls, you're right.

So this rule is getting changed, right?

Wait wait wait, is the suggestion that the thing landed or crashed on land rather than water? Because it seems far more likely that the thing actually did vanish into the ocean without a trace than that it landed or crashed on solid ground, somehow completely unnoticed.

Did he get ejected?

Looks like his foot is in front of the bag trying to block the tag and Dyson slides into his shin with his shoulder, forcing his leg backward, awkwardly, and his knee sort of into Dyson's head. Lots of contact but it looks like a 50/50 play. Dyson is as responsible for the contact as Flaherty is.

I got this for my Roku last year and was blown away at how few games I could actually watch. I live in New York, and I don't think I was ever able to stream any game East of Detroit. It seems like it's exclusively for games that are way the fuck out of your market. I sent a query email once about a game that I thought…

I feel like he's just really dumb. Not that he isn't 100% accountable, but I don't think it'd be very hard for someone to run a sham charity and just convince him that everything was on the level with bald-faced lies.

I saw this live and it absolutely made my day.

Thanks. I watched the video last night too and it's clear that he just wants to try to avoid a false start, but his weight shifted. Guess that just wasn't obvious from the GIF.

What actually happened? That looks a little unnerving. Did he faint?

Yeah, exactly. I don't have a problem with it, I'm just pointing out that pitchers and catchers likely will. I mean, Jon Lester has a "personal catcher" on every fucking team he plays for. He's not going to enjoy anyone telling him how often they can chat during the game. Objectively (and to play devil's advocate…

Bottom line, you just got curb stomped by Alex Fucking Smith and you're telling me Tom Brady doesn't get a receiver because McDaniels is butt hurt? It's not like he's lighting up the league with his schemes either, his play calling has been shit.

I have heard of this, but attaching it to weed seems silly. I read something once about how it's sometimes employed for people who have severe anxiety disorders and PTSD. Horses bond uniquely or something.

I can see the mound visit thing producing some tactical limitations that could irk players and coaches. What happens if a catcher enters a game mid-inning due to an injury, for example? There are always a handful of games where a battery just "can't get on the same page," and three visits over nine innings, while…

I'm not sure that there's enough foundational support of the game in the US to make a relegation model functional. I grew up in Boston, and I'm pretty sure the Revolution went to the championship like fifty times and kept losing, but I was barely aware of it. US markets like that are just so saturated. MLS does seem…

NHL goaltenders might be the best pro athletes on the planet purely because they are all insane.

You could tell that was BS last night when Twitter blew up about it. ESPN's a lot of things, but it isn't that stupid. I was surprised so many smart people jumped on board.
