Just so I’m clear, the “steps to discourage” the chop that the Braves had allegedly previously implemented included:

This is stupid. If you’re claiming that you’ve never in your life told anyone anything you would feel uncomfortable later finding in the pages of a tabloid, you’re a liar.

“Is Baker going to have any further comment?”

Sherman later admitted that he may have misremembered the exact sequence of events on the field. “Sometimes you remember things a little differently than it happened,” he said.

Eh, posting things to a locked, private social media account restricted to trusted friends and family is not meaningfully different from sending an email to a private mailing list, or just talking to a group of close associates around a dinner table. It’s fine to expect those people to keep what they hear private, and…

To see that get devoured by cost- and quality-cutting VC ghouls is a giant drag. I’m sure underpaid contract writers will be able to pick up the slack though.

“staff might get bigger”

I have never wanted a place to exist as much as I want “Titty City” to exist. 

“Players should be able to make money through the Free Market, just not by selling any product or providing any service”

We should keep pushing him on this to see what happens when he realizes that this devious conflict of interest impacts literally every type of transaction. 

Endorsements help educate consumers, and sham endorsements short circuit that process. For example, I was once a State Farm customer, because family is important to me and it came through how important family was to the Paul twins (Chris and Cliff). But I switched to Nationwide because I value creativity, and the…

Thanks, I’m going to hug my GTI today and let it know I won’t cheat.
