Watching that highlight, I couldn’t help but notice how much slower he seems from his “peak” Vikings days. I’m not saying he’s slow, since he can still pull away in that long TD run, but back then his combination of quickness and power was otherworldly.

To be fair, I dislike all spiders, and I think the feeling is mutual. I’ve been bitten by them. I’ve had them land on me while outdoor. And last but not least, I’ve had them drop from the ceiling and land on the INSIDE of my glasses lens, within an inch of my eyeball. Once might’ve been a fluke, but when it’s happened…
This is a pretty meaningless accomplishment. A manager can have a player do it anytime the manager wants, so this is more on Ausmus than on Romine. It’d help if the player is versatile enough to not be a liability in the field at the different positions, but that’s not a requirement. The trickiest position is catcher,…
Although I wasn’t at a high enough level to know any specifics, I did work several years in the industry and the $10K / month / person figure sounds about right. (Caveat: It was at Redwood City aka South SF bay, so everything is expensive there.) It’s true that many on the team won’t have that high a salary, but there…
Isn’t a “rat king” a bunch of rats stuck together? So this is a gun that gets more powerful when multiple players using it are together. I guess I’m following what the devs were going for with the name.
I really liked Life is Strange and wasn’t sure how competently Before the Storm will expand that universe, but it’s looking good so far. I liked the music from LiS better than BtS, but that may just mean I’m more like Max than Chloe. I think the dialog is better this time around, as there were some really…
I can see both sides. On the one hand, looting is illegal. On the other, doing what’s necessary to survive during a disaster, understandable. What I hope is that the people will make some amends to the store for the things they took when things have settled.
I’m making tons of assumptions here, so don’t take it as anything more than a random person’s musings.
Technically, the dunking requirement is not completely rigid. One can train and increasing jumping height by several inches. It still means one has to be fairly close to begin with. Back in high school I ran cross country for a season and built up my leg muscles. It clearly raised my leaping reach because that was the…
I feel there’s a clause that people are overlooking. The original question has the stipulation, “assume they can swing until they get tired.” When one is literally swinging for the fences, that may mean only 30 swings or so before fatigue would eliminate all possibility of a home run. Even if one may “luck” into a…
CNN could’ve come out looking decent. They could’ve been magnanimous. Just say they reached out and communicated with the guy, accepted his/her apology, and hoped everyone learned a lesson. It’s not like people wouldn’t figure out that they have the person’s identity. But they chose to end the message with that…
That was my first thought, too. But on second look the pitches did miss the target pretty badly and I don’t know if the catcher could have moved quick enough to block them. Still, the whole turning and trying to snatch the ball instead of sliding the whole body to block the ball goes against what I was taught as a kid.
Dyson made a play that’s within the rules, didn’t hurt or endanger anyone, and most importantly, tried to help his team win. Any “convention” that’s contrary to these points isn’t a convention. It’s a whine.
Wasn’t Steph Curry born in nearby Akron? So he has to pay attention to at least one person from that area.
I’m with you; we probably saw the same thing. When the ref called the foul on Green, Kerr got up and charged down the sideline towards the ref (who at that point was looking at Kerr and away from Green), then the ref turned to the scorer’s table and signaled the tech. Of course, we don’t actually know who the ref…
The thing from this spectacle that infuriates me most is that all the conservative pundits who are declaring this a witch hunt and calling it all smoke are the same people who freaked out when Bill Clinton talked to Lynch. (This includes Trump.) In both cases, the contact was inappropriate because, regardless of what…
If we’re being objective, Durant’s shot wasn’t a high percentage one either. Even good NBA 3-point shooters would miss that type of pull-up three more often than not. But he made it, so he’s the hero. Irving didn’t.
Was that supposed to be isolation play? Other than JR Smith, the other Cavs barely moved and stayed on the other side. Kind of surprised he didn’t get Smith to set a screen on Thompson so he could possibly switch to Curry, who’s more susceptible to a drive and has less length to contest a shot.
