Why are you burying Mcihelle Carters HISTORIC day under these white men?

Holy shit - this is just a straight forward informative post explaining the answer to an interesting question. Well done.

This is so practical. Of course men were in charge so it didn’t work out that way. Pretty sure they saw the iceberg and were like “THIS IS THE TITANIC WE DON’T NEED TO MOVE IT WILL GET OUT OF OUR WAY.”

Seems like he was in denial.

Can we agree that it’s unlikely Hillary Clinton would have been a Senator or Secretary of State if she wasn’t married to Bill?

Tre Mason: Man, fuck you guys. Not only am I not holding out, I was actually the first person to show up in St. Louis for training camp this year.

Hopefully the boy’s mother has a chance to speak at the 2020 DNC.

I’m also a fan of Tom’s work, and I think he hinted at how the article would be written via the “Sources” title. But it certainly does feel as if the lawyers took him for a ride a bit.

This is pretty poor reporting, has very little context for how financial disclosures and reporting requirements for public companies work.

Whether a call is definitive is a separate question from whether it was the correct call to have made. Without replay, whatever the official calls in real time is the result of the play. With replay, everything that happens in real time is a provisional and tentative result until a committee finishes studying and…

Then if my controversial one is actually right can I change my answer to that while I think Sam Hinkie is a dink, tanking is a much more practical strategy for most teams than the Deadspin approved “Just be smarter/luckier than everyone else”?

That Refs(and especially Umps) getting calls wrong from time to time is preferable to replays on anything close.

Yes, athletics brand is different from athletics success.
