While it’s terrible these kind of things happen....it’s not like it isn’t a known event. I just think that if you go sit in the stand of a baseball game you should be EXPECTING to get hit by a ball or a broken bat to some extent, especially if your sitting in the foul ball death alleys.

On the other hand, if a reporter came up to you and asked to comment, on the record, regarding an ongoing lawsuit against Deadspin, would you reply with your honest opinion? EVERY PLACE I’ve worked at one the first things HR tells you to do is not reply to questions lilke that.

Ah, good. I love articles where everyone defends school kids’ rights to dress like members of Bob Fosse’s Cabaret.

I don’t know. FRANCHISE XX: (subtitle ) has always bothered me as way some marketing guy fluff who gets paid six figures to make the case that no one would see the next Star Wars movie if the words “Star Wars” weren’t in the title.

Yes, there is a danger. Back when I was an Apple person, an iPhoto update deleted EVERY SINGLE DIGITAL PHOTO I took that was NOT taken with an iPhone ( I was on the digital camera bandwagon early, and I’m guessing that meta tags weren’t as standardized as they are now). And when I tried to get the iPhoto file back…

I had to download iTunes on a computer the other because, get this....

At the time, I knew some people who refused to play Shadow of the Colosssus based on the fact that a reviewer said it was only 8 hours long.

The last few years the NFL has been stacking same-conference games in the last few games of the season. It’s actually not that bad of an idea, given that it helps to ensure that at least a few game “matter” in a head-to-head situation.

no film has cracked $1billion without female leads

Since figure skating now has only turned into completing spinny jumps, why even bother with long and short programs? Why not just do “how many spinny jumps you can do in a row” and simply get rid of all the dancing and skating backwards stuff that no one claps for, and everyone gets an A+++ anyway?

I’ll even go one step further with Snyder nonsense. SYnder can’t even keep the the rules that he sets up in his world to make sense, because that would take away the spectacle.

I would also argue that Kei Nishikori is hardly the “correct color”.

There’s a lot of SNL skits from my childhood that seems strange, especially musical parodies. Like John Belushi doing his Joe Cocker impression without knowing who Joe Cocker is. Of Rich Hall doing the Talking Heads Big Suit thing, without knowing about the Big Suit.

“Hey, we want more diversity in our reporting.”

I was under the impression that wagons disappeared at the start of the minivan invasion in the early 80s.

Let’s look at this this way.

Maybe in civilized countries that have good buy-in in commuter rail they hit 140 mph. But I don’t think there’s anywhere in the US that even hits 100 mph.

Glad someone else mentioned this, so I wouldn’t have to.

For the record, Michael Jordan was the absolute king of carrying the ball without getting a foul called.

Yeah. I mean, you can forgive one or two guys getting through a line. But it’s so weird to see an ENTIRE offensive line stand around 1 second after the ball is hiked, looking around, saying “Yeah, well, I guess he got past me.”
