True, but as Jason heyward has shown, being an elite defensive player (who can play 4-5 positions) and can hit for decent power, decent average, and is 23, and someone who has dropped his strike out % from 40 % in his first year to what it is this year? I think that’s pretty damn good. He is maybe not destined to be…

Actually, Rose is currently in a civil case, that actually appears to be going well for him. The facts and testimony are inconsistent on both ends of this case. There is a criminal investigation, that just started recently (the incident was 2 years ago, so this is going to end up with no charges, cause there is no…

Yeah, but if you look at some of the tags he’s made over the course of the season, he is one of the best glovemen in the majors. 11 defensive runs saved this year, and he is a part time player

He has sacrificed some of his power (although I think he hit around 15 hr’s this season as a frequent part time player). But as a Cubs fan, he’s been a spectacular player all season defensively while playing at 5 different positions over the course of the season (mostly 2b and 3b, but he has player 1b, ss and OF as…

Honest question. If there is a party, all parties have been drinking, and someone consents to sex, but is really wasted, (both parties are drinking remember), No one passes out, but one person doesn’t remember the experience (blacks out). How is the person who doesn’t black out, supposed to know that the other person…

Can you explain what about any of the current 3rd party candidates is actually good, other than they are a 3rd party? the more and more I read about johnson and stein, I don’t think either of them would be a competent president either.

I know this isn’t probably the website forum for this kind of answer, but isn’t “middle of the road” politician most likely to actually accomplish things. Isn’t the point of our political setup to negotiate terms of living that benefit all sides of the equation (Ie compromise). We already have a partially socialist…

Deadspin’s general position is that pretty much no one tunes in to sports programming to watch specific announcers and studio hosts,

#1. The fact that she never pressed charges, and never went to get a rape kit are also huge factors that he will “get away with it” (there you go assuming guilt).

Wait, so your angry that people being falsely accused of rape has made you not jump to conclusions? I’m confused. The tough part about this is that rape is so hard to prosecute when someone actually does come forward right way, and then someone doesn’t come forward, and basically waits years, and then asks for 21…

“I don’t look to be in the spotlight,” she said in a 1998 Chicago Tribune interview. “I think it’s a man’s world as far as the Chicago Bears are concerned.”

Why do they have female sideline reporters (or any for that matter) at football games. They offer next to nothing during the game. Mendoza is better than some, and worse than others. In other words, I’d still rather mute the TV and listen to local radio guys if I had the option,

I really did not like Mendoza last year. She has improved, and quite frankly I would take her over about 1/2 of the current ESPN guys. I like some of their baseball tonight analysts, but the Baseball broadcast crew leaves something to be desired IMO.

her tendency to hold on to compromise positions, forged in a different political era, long past their expiration dates.

That is a really good point. It’s very different, but I really like Bray Wyatt’s mic skills. John Cena is solid on the mic still (although rightfully his time at the top is coming to an end). Kofi Kingston has solid mic skills, but he will never be a top wrestler either. I think the overall skill at wrestling now is…

To be fair, if he was that good, he likely wouldn’t have been making that little money in most cases. If he was drafted even reasonably high, the signing bonus/salaries are usually pretty decent. Also, doing well in an all-star little league game doesn’t mean shit. There are a ton of LLWS people who don’t go very far…

Just a quick question. Why exactly do you fall at more than 48k a year. I make 40,000k a year at my job and I work year round, don’t often get free meals, and I don’t get free work clothes. And really almost as many people see my do my job as some minor leaguers. I think if they put a minimum yearly salary of 35-40 k…

Injuries. They aren’t as deep. Also, if two guys have off shooting nights, they don’t have as much in the paint to be able to defend good big men or keep them off the glass. But yeah, they are going to win a lot.

I would put westbrook over both curry and Durant, although it’s pretty damn Close. I think people are counting on the wear finally catching up to Lebron, but right now and in the last 8 years or so, he’s been the best player in the NBA. No question. Still, the fact that Klay could be a star and the best player on a…

The only thing that could derail this team is injuries, as they are not quite as deep as they were (also why they might not win 74 games, as starters don’t play 40+ minutes a night during the regular season as much). But the 5 man team of Iggy, Klay, Steph, Durant and Green is pretty damn ridiculous, and even though…
