i have effectively stopped my wife from cooking for me for this reason after she once made me an omelet with using about a tenth of millisecond’s worth of a spray of pam into the pan as the cooking oil, whereas i’d use two sticks of butter. and she wonders why when i cook for her the food is actually enjoyable

Completely true, and that comment hurt to read. I figured most players would be a part of the actual settlement in court and would get some portion of it, while players, like Stabler, who missed out on being a part of the settlement for a variety of reasons are left out to dry.

It’s a lot like how the GOP treats veterans.

(by the way, I am just being dumb. obviously the wizards suck ass, are getting owned by everyone, and have been since 1978. I enjoy your internet commenting, sir.)

Someone: posts a picture of the current Bulls coach

I gotsa Boll I did!

No one will throw him a birthday party ever again either.

“...Mr. Portnoy would like to offer you his sincere condolences...and as a token of his sorrow, a 10% off coupon for any Barstool merchandise you’d like to purchase...”

This was after he ordered one of his female employees to reach out to her family.

I SAID SLAG OFF

just check FB #7. Couldn’t be more right on the slag GF Hemmer. Shiver me timbers.

Don’t worry, though, in the other post about how the 2 year old girl had a skull fracture, hematoma, and seizures, the heavily starred posts are “Why’d you bring a kid to a baseball game” and “Those parents are the real monsters.”

Here’s the thing, the net’s don’t even need to be that thick. You could make them out of spun kevlar, and they’d be barely visible. Even if the occasional ball might even break through a net designed to be barely visible, the net would still be doing it’s job. All you have to do is slow the ball down from 110mph to…

In a study to see if pro baseball players had faster reactions to pitched balls researchers soon discovered that they do not. They start their reaction before the ball has left the pitcher’s hand based on the motion the pitcher has made earlier. They aren’t reading the pitch; they are reading the pitcher preparing to…

I’ve had season tickets for our local wooden-bat, collegiate summer baseball league team in town for a few years now. We’ve sat behind the netting for the entirety of this period and not once was it ever obtrusive. Like others have said, it took all of 2 minutes to get used to it and no one complains about it.

That’s the thing. They WANT to notice them.

Somehow the only way to prove your ‘fandom’ in many circles seems to be espousing takes that are just outwardly pro-needless danger. For baseball it is anti-netting takes, for racing it is anti-halo in F1, etc.

Chuds. Chuds everywhere. 

Anyone who says that you need to just watch the game and be alert, is full of shit.

I wonder how much further the closest non-netted seats are to home plate than the mound, and how that translates into additional seconds of travel time.

I was sitting in a suite at a Sox game approximately lined up with the visitor’s dugout. I was sitting in the first row of the suite, face deep into a giant plate of cake and ice cream. A ball went right over my head and would’ve probably nailed me if I picked my head up a second earlier. A friend of mine was behind…
