Tim Duncan has to be #1. Patrick Ewing did that cool-on-paper-but-actually-silly thing where he goaltended a bunch of Nova’s shots in the NCAA finals to “send a message” or something. That’s dumb, but it’s something.

He also gloated about how he’s never hit a batter on purpose. I was at a game where he drilled John Cangelosi in the back because he had just surrendered a grand slam to Ryan Thompson (after loading the bases by intentionally walking Todd Hundley). Cangelosi charged the mound. Giant brawl ensued.

That ankle kick should get a one-game suspension. It won’t, but it should.

I said it last week. Knocking out receivers is the best strategy for the Seahawks. This isn’t NCAA; you’re probably getting away with it (the NCAA targetting rule has its own problems).

Look at some of the targetting calls and no calls (not to mention unreviewed turnovers) in the Washington Utah game. Pac12 officiating is a joke.

Sure. I’m not saying that you should hang on to expiring contracts or never sell off players. Do those things!

The Brewers are a good example of how teams don’t need some sort of next-level cosmic plan to disrupt MLB by tanking or whatever, especially teams that are pretty okay to begin with.

Concussing Rams’ receivers is probably the Seahawks’ best shot at the division.

The Giants’ defense is beyond terrible. Despite this, all anyone wants to talk about is Odell or Eli.

That’s fair. I’m still very much a baseball fan, and it’s not like I stopped being a Mets fan when he said that.

Maricopa County has thousands of untested rape kits.

No, he said, on the topic of a gay person, he “disagreed with his lifestyle. I disagree with the fact that Billy is a homosexual.”

If you want to feel really bad, some horrifying and sad percent of baseball players probably agree with Murphy (or have even worse beliefs).

That’s fair. Honestly, I wouldn’t be crushed if the Monster came down. But I do like variety in dimensions and fences.

Hoo-fucking-ray.

Every stadium has different dimensions, so there’s variance across the whole league.

Cut the ivy.

The lesson is that Daniel Murphy kills the Cubs in the postseason.

I think Arenado has to make an effort to go for a second out for interference to come into play. Maybe. Who knows really.

Allowing them/they to refer to be used in singular non-gendered situations is just easier. As someone else pointed out, there are other invented pronouns out there, and it’s great that there are, but them/they is such a common mistake that it’s pretty much common usage to begin with.
