Honestly, this reminds me of the Chris Bangle backlash from the mid-2000's between the “Bangle butt” on the 7 and “flame-surfacing” people lost their minds. If you look back now, he redefined car design language, particularly with “flame-surfacing” as a design trend that’s persisted.

This post is so wildly unnecessary. And that’s why its amazing.

Are we 100% certain Musk isn’t using this as a beta test of a Dyson Sphere?

Spin rate is particularly important on fastballs, either a 4 or 2 seamer. On a 4-seam fastball, a high spin rate causes the ball to “ride” or “explode” on the hitter, which basically means it’s not dropping as much as a typical 4-seam fastball. (Any pitch, including fastballs, drop because they’re declining in…

This is a far too articulate, well reasoned, and thoughtful approach to the issue...you need more hot takes.

It’s easy to say the first season of Iron Fist dragged, was kinda boring and milquetoast, and Danny wasn’t awesome...because it’s true. But I think it a good portion of the challenges the season experienced are related to the amount of world building it had to do to support the Defenders story arc. It needed to reest…

This move by the Steelers may be unpopular or unwise in your perspective, but it reflects a broader, league-wide sentiment: running backs are fungible. This is supported by several factors:

Yeah, there were stretches of it where he dominated the conversation unnecessarily...but I do enjoy listening to people who are experts at what they do talk about what they do; there’s insight to be gleaned there. I wish Rock and Seinfeld spoke up more though.

To the point about Seinfeld’s conservation of words in his lines, there’s a HBO Special, “Talking Funny” which is basically an hour long conversation between Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Louis C.K., and Ricky Gervais. Toward the end of it Seinfeld shares an anecdote from early in his career about how the inclusion of one…

I grew up in East Hartford, my parents live in Manchester now, and I grew up on this...pair it with a Coffee Milkshake and you’re in business.

Earn your keep

What do you mean, “you people”? (Tropic Thunder callback...what’s up?)

My bigger question is what does “stone bottom at the Water’s Edge” refer to in cartography? Given the fact that we know 1) the show is set on an island, and 2) a new body of water just appeared out of no where, and 3) some of the “world-building” marketing items have feature a map of the park showing the movements of…

In the past, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the show runners, have been very clear that they have a vision and direction for the story to go and have an ending in mind. So hopefully this eliminates that concern.

I get your point, but the Union represents the current players and reflects their priorities, as such, they (the players and/or the Union) don’t care about the future earning potential of guys in the minor leagues. Their priority is keeping guys in the MLB employed. It’s short-sided, but no one has ever accused the…

The MLBPA will never advocate for change in the service time or Super Two rules because in addition to being advantageous for the clubs, it’s also advantageous for current MLB players for them to get and keep jobs; the MLBPA doesn’t represent minor league players. There is no incentive for the governing bodies to…

Are you telling me this guy gets off by dressing up as an old man and forcing them to eat a big Tuna Fish sandwich?

Just to add on, I’ve worked at a large fast food company in the Corporate HQ (in marketing) and trust me, this wasn’t malicious or an attempt to create a “black Friday” like atmosphere.

The bench adoption did happen:

Your line of thinking is spot on, but I think it’s going to play out similar to the evolution of smartphones and mobile technology, for a couple reasons.
