I never saw him play, but I think there's something to be said for Pete Maravich here, especially considering that there's no way of direct statistical comparison given that the three-point line didn't exist until his very last season.

Spring practice happens everywhere. My mediocre high school team in Northern California, certainly not a bastion of high school football, had spring practice. I played baseball and so did many of my teammates. Spring practice was just held in May after the baseball season ended.

To be fair, DC fans suck.

The Bay Area sports media is garbage, but Kawakami is terrible, too, just in a different way. It's important not to give Kawakami too much credit just because he's not Lowell Cohn. Kawakami is still petty and self-absorbed and a relentless hot taker, and beyond that he's not right any more often than anyone else. You…

Bumgarner, hands down. Every other Giants pitcher in the World Series so far has allowed fourteen runs in twenty-eight innings. He's allowed one run in sixteen innings.

The Giants did have to make three more outs in the top of the inning and then there was a break in the middle, but yes, it did take 25 minutes between Belt's home run and the end of the game.

No, safeties don't count as cornerbacks. They count as safeties.

They fixed that! It has 14 teams now.

In fairness to the fan talking up Christian Ponder, he only did that because Christian Ponder carved the 49ers apart in 2012 (in the game where Jim Harbaugh called four timeouts). I spent the next two years laboring under the delusion that Christian Ponder was actually good until I finally realized that nope, it was…

I have no interest in club soccer at all except to root against Arsenal because fuck all their pissbag American fans.

It would have been nice if Candlestick had been the former home of World Series victors, but in the nearly four decades the Giants played at the Stick they only won two pennants (1962 and 1989) and lost the World Series both times.

For basically the entire second half of the 2012 season I wanted Alex Smith to get the job back over Colin Kaepernick because I'm a shit fan and Alex Smith had paid his dues and he seemed like such a nice (read: white) guy. I'd like to think I've since repented but I don't know if I can ever get that off me.

I'm having a hard time seeing any activity that starts with waking up at 2 in the morning on a Saturday as being particularly enjoyable.

It's a nice thought, but the only way to fix Hall of Fame voting is to take it away from the shitbags in the BBWAA.

Nobody is making you read this site.

Ever since he came up we've been hearing stories about how great a hitter he is. It's nice to see his results finally reflect that this year.

No, it's not actually a fact. The Central League in Japan is the third-best league in the world, behind only the American and National Leagues, and it also has pitchers bat. That might be pedantry, but it's useful to get your facts straight.

People have been saying this for forty years. It's not happening.

When I was in second grade I kept track of my pooping schedule. One poop a day was standard; two poops and no poops both happened on occasion. My record was four poops in a day, which I accomplished three times.
