And in none of the conversations both before going to college and after getting there was any reference to following in Ali’s footsteps. There was anger at him because, for anyone who had no intention of running to Canada or…

Man, the lengths people will go to to defend Jahlil. Yeah, he’s 19, but he’s been in loads of actual, douchebaggy trouble in a very small timeframe.

I thought bringing him back would be tough. Never thought it would be “biggest pitcher contract ever” tough. That’s just stupid money.
