This is absolutely terrifying. If you’ve ever driven one of these styles of tractors stock and had the opportunity to open it up on a highway while driving between fields, you’ll know that 20 mph feels like Mach 3.  You can barely control them.  The shocks have you bouncing everywhere and the steering is awful.  

There is no single number that perfectly captures a business. The revenue metric is just another metric, and it’s not a bad metric to look at when trying to answer whether there is sufficient demand for your product.

One point missing from your comment is that refs are quite often arrogant, egotistical jackasses. I’m sure that’s not you, based on your reasoned and even-keeled response to an article that wasn’t aimed at you at all.

There is absolutely no part of Illinois in the upper midwest.  Their application was rejected.

This really is a tough social issue. I don’t agree with Lauren’s argument here, which is that trans athletes lose sometimes so no one should feel like it’s unfair when they win.

Hi Abatnia, I guess I’m responding more to your approach. The way I read your comment, you’re assuming bad intent from the author. If you want to be passionate about educating people about the history of the phrase ‘eskimo’ or whatever made you go off, then, ya know, do yer thing. (I didn’t even see the version of the…

Somehow I ended up on this article and upon reaching the end I thought to myself “nice, a jezebel article not taking itself too seriously”.....and then I read the first comment.  That’s more like what I was expecting.  Never change, Abatnia.  

I am part of the Forrester 3% club. It’s not fun to drive by any stretch, but it does keep me more entertained / occupied. I like manuals.

Let’s at least make this a symmetrical criticism of demographics - if ESPN is keeping “old whites” happy, it is at the cost of making “young, naive, pitch fork wielding, smug, social justice whites” unhappy.

What a strange reality - we can give the exit velocity to the nearest tenth of a mph, but we’re left to estimate just how far the ball went and debate the accuracy of the estimate.  One of those is so much easier to measure than the other.....

We shouldn’t equate using a drug with being addicted. The owners’ logic for having such a strong penalty against drugs of abuse is to make players think twice before attending dangerous party scenes. There’s the direct danger to the players (Len Bias) and the brand danger (DUIs, fights, domestic abuse, sexual assault,…

I mean, yeah it didn’t work.  But it wasn’t embarrassing that it didn’t work.  There was probably a 90% chance of failure when Buehrle pulled it off a few years ago....he just got lucky / was better at a ridiculous skill.

I would take Johnny Miller and *fill in the blank* over the current crew.  Yeah, Joe Morgan sucked.  Johnny was amazing.

Isn’t it weird that a “white supremacist president” even offered a medal to a person of color?  I feel like you buried the lead.....or perhaps totally misunderstand the situation.  

So what has gone on here?  Clue me in.  It looks like a horribly violent person is being put in an environment where he can’t attempt to murder children.  But maybe I’m missing something.  

Yes, obviously all bad behavior is a result of evil genius executives exploiting the world.  Let’s start a GoFundMe page to help the real victim here - the employee who got fired.  

Russell Westbrook has self-interest. His contribution to helping other players is in driving the market rate higher. All future QB negotiations will use his deal as a benchmark. And offensive linemen will use the QB salary as a justification to get paid to protect that investment. Etc. Etc.

So the accusation here is that the market paid Manny Machado less than Bryce Harper because Bryce is white and Manny is not? The flippant, baseless racism / ___phobia accusations are incredibly counterproductive for everyone.

What’s totally missing here in this story is the concept of risk. Albies was 2 years away from arbitration and 5 years away from free agency. If he has nagging injuries or fails to continue to produce, he basically gets squadouche.
