They’ve definitely climbed the rankings in their farm system, I saw that happening, it just seems like they were making poor financial decisions while letting go of killer talent. I get it, that shit works, but tough to watch so many players walk away.

Gotta get people in the stands some how - the team composition has been a bit of a tire fire the last year or so. I’m a casual Braves fan as my NL team and it’s been a bit of a pain to figure out what the fuck they are trying to accomplish at this point.

Ogando has had a pretty fucked up experience from even before he was in the league including human trafficking implications, changed names, etc. I always liked him as a Ranger but felt all of the other stuff got in the way of his pitching sometimes.

Oh boy, I would hate to be the kid who grows up to see a video of myself acting like Bo Jackson is no big deal... in front of Bo Jackson.

As a Predators fan I do not like 3 on 3, for everyone else it is very exciting

eh, let it go - Jezebel is next door and leaking into these comments.

I miss Klein on the Predators - guy plays his ass off and is the first guy to stick up for a teammate.

This is the most salient point in the thread. Part of making games towards the younger generation seem to help with the ‘finished product’ reaching the hands of the consumer.

I was wondering the same thing - I thought it may have had something to do with Chrome or my local network but apparently not.

I should also note that the chatter on other blogs is that they under-inflated the tire even per the reduced Michelin spec which may have caused the catastrophic delamination.

To add to what Flawed_Logic stated about video journalism, I think a good example of using writing and video reporting in tandem is your Gawker colleague Doug DeMuro. He often covers the same things in both formats but makes a good case for both reading and watching.

I think that’s a fair assessment but it wasn’t like those teams were bad, it seemed more like Wade was capable but Jerry didn’t like that he pushed back on draft/personnel choices. Regardless, I’m going to take any chance I get to say fuck Jerry.

I was so bummed that he got ousted from Dallas - fuck Jerry Jones.

I was so used to doing this that I did it instinctively on my ‘16 WRX which I later found out has wiper heaters. While not as fancy as the full windshield heater, it is surprisingly effective and now I get to scoff at the peasants who do not own this technology that I didn’t even know I had until a week ago.

You can see that Wideman takes a blindside shoulder to the head at the :25 mark, and then his head goes face-first into the dasher boards.

+1 but I don’t like it - living in Nashville we only have one pro sports team so I’ll take what I can get.

I was going to reply to the main post but you pretty much nailed it. It also matters if a player is on an extension of an entry level contract.

I don’t think anyone denies that it is gouging, they were just up front about it from the start.

I’m not sure I’ve smiled much at all this week but man, this shook me out of my funk - thank you. I’m so stoked for that guy.
