“While the VAR probably did get us to the correct call ... also introduced a level of uncertainty and delay that are themselves huge reasons why replay is bad.”

Yeah and then when he tries to talk about it with us we just walk away.

Denver, I guess. Maybe LA. I don’t have any good reasons except I visited both recently-ish and liked them a lot. I could also probably live in Baltimore, because it looks a lot like Philly and I could confuse myself into thinking I never left.

I have a question for you: Who is forcing me to move in this hypothetical…

I went a year or two before commenting because I came in when the “old rules” were in place and heavy hitters like Raysism, Marmol and friends were in top form. Do you miss those days? Most of my self worth is wrapped up in my stars, but don’t let that affect your reply.

Wait, doesn’t that mean he went 1-for-5 with a Grand Slam and a walk? The walk doesn’t count against his batting average.

So I’m pretty sure Steve Kerr has been suffering from a non-healing cerebrospinal fluid leak that was a complication from his spine surgery. Its not common, but they do happen from time to time during spine surgery. Typically, a stitch or two and lying flat for 24-48 hours does the trick. When it becomes a chronic…

Martini is a good dog

So does this mean that in the future you’ll just be able to post a screen shot of the Ars Technica article and it’ll take up the same or less space than when you copy-paste the article text?

I am just going to assume the Patriots cheated.

Of course I have to weigh in on this. Lots of words below, but TL;DR: Italy was legal, and Eddie Jones needs to quit his bitching.

It’s not going to be a problem cause anyone with half a brain can beat it easily.

Without the hatred of the Blackhawks to sustain them they have withered and died. As they should.

Once I was walking down the street in Chicago and a man suddenly put their hands over my eyes and said “Guess who?” I guessed the only man I knew in Chicago, but it wasn’t him. I turned around and it was Bill Murray! I said “Bill Murray!” He then laughed at me, picked me with a big bear hug, and deposited me in a…

Think I’ve told this one before, but back when the Vancouver Grizzlies existed Michael Jordan walked into a bike shop that a family friend owned while Chicago was in town. He picked out some expensive mountain bike and his handler came to the family friend and said “Michael Jordan wants this bike”, after telling him…

I used to own a PR firm (sold it in ‘08) and PowerBar was one of our clients. Among their many sponsored athletes was Lance Armstrong. We went down to Austin a couple times to film him doing short pieces on various new products. This was after he had won six Tours and was at the height of his fame.

I don’t have a famos a-hole story, I have a famous goofball.

When are teams going to learn NOT to rush players back from meniscus injuries? It's insane how we see this exact same problem across multiple sports. Protect your investment and let the players heal properly (OKC Thunder as an example; let Russell Westbrook heal properly and he's shown no ill effects)

Short version: League has 13 players and a limited number of downs, among other differences. In effect, slightly more similar to American football; more of a run into a brick wall over and over again kind of league. Rugby Union, with 15 players, is a bit more complex and widely played/watched globally. A bit more…
