How hard can it really be to hit a 12 mph fastball?

“you’re basically asking for it” is the calling card of a victim blamer.

I thought he grew up to be Martin Shkreli. You know, kills people but in a more passive aggressive way.

You buried the lede on this high quality “very good dog” video:

Did you look here?

The gap between the best D3 teams and the worst D1 teams is huge. I went to a top 25 D3 school and we managed to find a 6'10" guy who had never played in his life and couldn’t jump. He was conference player of the year. D3 is played completely beneath the rim.

You qualify for the NIT, you get NIT refs. I mean, maybe there is a reason they aren’t at the tournament. Speaking of which, where is Teddy V. right now?

I watched him do an A10 game in person this year and he was terrible. So there is that too.

The fact that the guy who injures himself does so by kicking the ground at least a foot behind the ball makes me feel less bad for them. Some might say it pays to have competent defenders.

I thought that somebody getting stoned and giving chill, mildly insightful commentary was everything that Deadspin stood for! I don’t know who you are anymore.

Would have made more sense if she was rolling around on the top of a piano.

I think that accent is called “sexy santa.”

CORRECTION: “shithole country”

It is grainy footage, but I’m sure its there.

Don’t miss the one at the 4:30 mark. The 80s were a crazy time. The announcers are pretty cavalier about everything and the medics are yanking people around with no regard for head or neck safety. Some great quotes too:

The yellow fluid behind those two crashes was spinal fluid.

You sent me on a deep dive and this video of an ordinary 1980's competition makes that video seem ordinary:

Sledded off, not carted off.

Agree but also want to highlight one thing. US Soccer’s problem isn’t MLS’ pro/rel issue because US Soccer isn’t the MLS. US Soccer’s goal should be to produce the best possible players - which right now means producing players that can play in the best leagues which are in Europe. Nobody in France (or wherever) is…

I honestly think he should stopping shooting for 6 months and then hope that his old muscle memory is there when he comes back. Spending all day thinking about your shooting motion just does not seem productive. It has to be natural.
