I am a guy who is plenty capable of being judgmental, but never really understood the tiny wrinkle phobia.

Leave it alone.

As a dude, I can guarantee that if men had something that caused enormous shits on a regular cycle, they would be talking the fuck out of it.

I am a passive consumer of occasional baseball. Not a fan but often have it on car radio or background TV. Point is, most of my baseball information is audio sourced. The first 100 or so times I heard announcers call Yu Darvish's name, I assumed they were just deploying that bizarre pronunciation of the name "Hugh".

In a post and discussion littered with incomprehensible abbreviations like "RS-So" or unknown concepts like "Cleveland Browns Management", the one that seems obscure is "VG"?

Will this be known as the "Nik Richie Act of 2014"?

This makes me sad. I thought you did well finding non-linemen fat guys on two actual sports teams. Although the Raiders and Raptors of the last 10 years or so stretch that definition.

Yep, this is a Philly thing. Worst fans in sports, judging by the Flyers and Eagles, each of whom are the only fans I have seen cheer injuries multiple times.

Despite the uncharacteristic current playoff experience of the Toronto NBA franchise, I am not recognizing the Toronto Raptors nor any of the litany of doomed Oakland Raider Quarterbacks of the Future as athletes in real sports.

Beatles, obviously.

That's it. I just can't imagine that attitude among athletes in many other real sports. If there was an extra benefit that might make the difference between squeaking into the lineup and being an everyday player and all you had to do was:

Yeah, I went to Lord of the Flies Junior High. If the whole class was cheering something on you did not want to be the subject. Embarrassing boner would have been the least of your worries.

Props to teacher if she did this to

Fun, but this is among the things that those of us who can't take baseball seriously as a sport wonder about. I would expect even pitchers to have some professional commitment to fitness. And in the NL they actually have to hit and run bases, too, right?

Imagine that! Someone actually trying to get to first base as quickly as possible. Might even help on base percentage, runs and wins. Don't tell the old guard

He has to be a Red Wings fan. The alternative is just so ... unholy.

Running Ryan Miller was just hunky dory?

this is much more common than buying a company for founders and engineers [sic] But Buying a company and then discontinuing their products [or more commonly just fucking them up so much you just put them out of their misery] is ridiculously common.

I am a Canadian, generally view our justice system as less flawed than the American, but agree. Don't send him here. He will get off too easy. (Although child predators don't do well in Canadian prisons. )

Like several others, Brad Richards and MA Fleury were the two that leapt out. It would not have surprised me to see Richards there a couple of years ago when he came to the RAngers but Richards is generally viewed as a bust in his current contract, with rumours the Rangers might buy him out. Fleury is generally…
