Agreed. The reporters probably had no reason to assume they would need to stock up on anything. Ideally, there would be a sort of "reporter dispatcher" that provides intel of the venues before the actual reporters go, but that's easier said than done.

YESSS This is WYTS gets goes from good to great: the lower-middling teams you can clown on without feeling pity.

It doesn’t suck THAT much if you're en route to the camp, and you realize you have to stock up food prior to entering the camp. If you didn't know that until it was too late, then I could see people being furious.

More importantly, you wouldn’t intentionally walk three batters in a row, but in basketball, the goal is to foul on EVERY POSSESSION in those last two minutes. It's the repetition that kills the game, not any one strategic foul.

The worst part about this is that, increasingly, the truth only comes out when there's a fight between organizations who already have millions of dollars.

Counter-point: Ronaldo stalked the sidelines to feed his ego, and the media did everything they could to shoe-horn him in to satisfy Ronaldo’s sponsors. I wouldn’t even be surprised if the shirtless strut was a marketing ploy that was SUPPOSED to happen immediately after playing, where it would make more sense.

And can…

I think General McChrystal is also a Bud Light Lime fan. Say what you will about some of his choices, but if a 60 year old guy that goes into war zones is a fan, who am I to say that it's unmanly?

This may be the best-executed prank I've ever heard. The victim commits to something outrageous and embarrassing; the story is untraceable (well OF COURSE you never heard about it before); the victim goes through several rounds of plants in order to be convinced; and the prank is stopped just before there are negative…

I think it

It’s probably because the writers have an established record of competent writing, as evidenced by the fact that we’re all on the site. The star-givers may also understand that the contrarian is using one questionable sample of an otherwise good set in order to dump on the professional and appear savvy.

Thanks for the useful info, Steve! Don't bother going back any further, because the dataheads will point out how much the game has changed since then and dismiss your effort.

Barry DID disclaim that it was an unproven theory, so what's the big deal?

They jeopardized $12,000/ticket-yr to save on a $20/hr guard and some sandwiches? The Snyders and Jed Yorks are just as evil, but at least they know enough to cater to the rich. How'd this guy even get rich?

Derry let it go without saying that Rob Ryan's defenders are all radical.

“I was just grabbing Odor’s jersey, minding my own business, when BAM, his one free hand that I was staring at came outta NOWHERE.”

And why is he talking about “playing the game the right way” after slidin’ dirty? Also, what kind of pompous ass cares WHEN a team retaliates if the tension is still there?

Bautista…

The difference is that a good mathlete who never makes it as a professional competitor still learns a broadly marketable skill. Not so much with basketball.

“Artsy-fartsy” is awesome when it creates an artistic product that can stand on its own. Artistic groups get a bad rep because lazy bands put an artistic element in their song, don’t make the effort to refine it, and act like you’re the jerk for valuing the result over the process. Radiohead does not do this, which is…

He also opened one of his factories to Syrian refugees, I believe. So, a good guy all around.

I didn’t read Connor’s post the way you did at all. He’s not asking to be paid more, he wants time to train so he doesn't lose consecutive fights and jeopardize his high stock as a fighter. Dana White, understandably, wants to maximize exposure for this one fight, which maximizes the immediate pay-out for all…
