The worst thing about this column is how often Nate Jackson answers his own question, but then ignores the answer. Our love of Tony Romo isn’t about being “Romo-stradomous”; it’s not about “predictions”. As Jackson said, Romo eliminates the chaos and tells us what we should be looking for.

In fairness, it took the IT 20 minutes to take down the feed because everyone assumed they were watching a live broadcast of Johnny Manziel’s training regime.

My wife did get a bottle of wine one time and it had the kid’s picture on it with a caption “Sorry about me”. That was funny, useful and acceptable. You’re absolutely right ... the volume of stupid junk parents give teachers is mind boggling.

There’s some age/recency bias involved here. People older than 50 are going to have a different perspective on Rose than people younger than 40. Those of us in our 40s mostly remember a shitty manager.

I can’t speak for veterans, but as the husband of a school teacher I can say this: keep your applause and pay them more.

Does this Mets payroll figure account for the dead money owed to Bobby Bonilla?

Personally, I don’t mind if writers (or broadcasters) want to be colorful in their language ... as long as the word is accurate. My biggest pet peeve is when broadcasters misuse the word “irony”. Soooo often they use “ironic” when they mean “coincidental”.  Sometimes it’s not even coincidental.

Or a news-paper column from 1885.

In fairness, the newscaster got it right on take #2.

Haha... but the 100 million people who show up to church to take communion and “partake of HIS body and HIS blood” aren’t?

And “Jellybeans are fine”??? Jellybeans (the small fruity kind or starburst flavored, not the old fashioned big mealy ones) are the nectar of the gods.

Those that can do. Those that can’t teach.

I dunno... I’m going to try it in reverse during my annual review this year: “You know, boss, men should really build up other men.”

It’s still better than “Jesus Take the Wheel”.

You know that Bill Simmons proposed that about 20 years ago, right? Deadspin probably isn’t the best place for old Simmons’ takes.

Mazeroski is the perfect example of the point in the main post about the definition of fame and telling a story. Yes, Mazeroski was not a great hitter (his career OPS+ is below 100), but he was the best defensive secondbaseman of his generation and may be the best defensive 2B of all time (he’s the career leader in…

Someone needs to send this over to MLB Network or Sportscenter. Just frickin’ fantastic.

Eat Arbys.

And, btw, there are testaments to each of those guys in the museum and their accomplishments. Just not plaques of their faces.

I don’t think it’s good. I’m starting to be concerned about his kids, too. The tone of some of these posts makes me wonder if it isn’t just physical issues he’s dealing with right now.
