And he was doing that in the AL. Now he gets to see a pitcher at the plate every 2nd or 3rd inning.

Chicagoan here. Do I need a daily newspaper subscription? No. Did I just subscribe to daily delivery from the Sun-Times? Yes.

Also worth pointing out that budget leaps like that happen all the time for straight male directors. Colin Treverrow had made a (bad)movie for 750k and a studio said, “Sure, let’s give him $150 mil to make fucking Jurassic Park”

I think either of them would be a good fit both on camera or in the writers room though.

Does Tilda Swinton count?

Funny, but not shade. Too obvious who and what she is referring to.

Because boring 60 year old white guys in media want to fuck her.

I’d say there are 8-10 teams whose fans would be extremely happy to have Kaep take over as their starter. He would unquestionably be one of the 5 best back-up QB’s in the league.

Sounds a bit like Ready Player One.

Whether it’s crap is debatable, but it’s definitely not simple. Steely Dan probably made the most technically complex pop music of the past 50 years.

As a sad Bulls fan I fully expect them to trade him for Jae Crowder and the #3. If the world were fair, we would get the#3, next year’s Nets pick, and Jaylon Brown.

I think there is a legitimate difference in having a feisty team where all your major contributors are under 23 and can develop together, than having a feisty team that relies vets with nowhere to improve.

My post was unclear. I’m almost certain that the original poster was confusing salaries with transfer fees.

Soccer salaries are weekly, so I’m not sure what this means.

Kane is 3 years younger, 5 inches taller and has a better goal-scoring record. If offered by Atleti in a straight swap, Tottenham would immediately hang up the phone.

Am I crazy for thinking Jonjo Shelvey might work next to Dier in a CM pairing?

I think there is a lot of variance in Chicago depending on what neighborhood you are in.

Counterpoint, he’s better than half the starting QB’s in the league right now.

Even if limited to outfield players, Bonucci is better than either of RM’s pair and (at least if it were me) Higuain would start over Benzema.

Buffon should start over Navas, he is certainly a better keeper. I’d also start Bonucci over either of RM’s central defensemen and Higuain over Benzema.
