I suppose if a team was low enough in the draft that it had no realistic pre-injury expectations of having the option to draft him, the team would have no reason to request his medical records. I'm not sure what HIPAA (or any other relevant law) says about medical records once the patient has made the decision to…

With my crappy eyesight I thought the chart said Soldier Field was 20 miles from the city center. I was about to ask where the hell these guys thought the center of Chicago was until I managed to squint hard enough to bring things into focus. Who the hell uses a font with outlined numbers???

No, the first block quote says that the highest paid employee can't be paid more than 10x "any other employee." That would include the lowest-paid employee.

Fair enough.

I'm sure there are. I was just wondering how comprehensive this proposed Bill James Act would be. Would it just apply to CEO's of private corporations, or would it be all employers? For his "theft" comments to hold water the law would have to be all-encompassing, but this article doesn't make that clear (and I'm…

Strangely, after growing up inhaling cherry-flavored Pop Tarts (if only they'd put the multi-colored sprinkles on those instead of the strawberry...) I've grown to prefer store-brand cinnamon/brown sugar versions. Microwave two of those for a few seconds to warm them up without drying them out, and you've got…

Forget players' unions; does anyone know if Bill James would apply his rule to regular unions? I'm pretty sure the president of the Teamsters' union makes more than 10 times the hourly wages of either the union's directly employees or the bulk of the union's members.

I'm going to have to agree with the "Bad Boys" comment below, will Bill & Ted coming in a close second.

Yeah, as much as I like following the Tour, there's no way little kids are going to sit still for four hours watching a bunch of skinny dudes riding their bikes in reasonably straight lines. Getting the kids to pay attention to that seems like more work than Drew's willing to do.

Not that I knew that the Coyotes' stadium is in Glendale, but I was going more for the general level of apathy regarding hockey in Arizona, and since I'm explaining the joke I should just say "fuck it" and walk away in shame.

Of course people in Sedona need to feel more like they're a part of the local hockey scene.

I'm really not sure how much value Wade has if he has to be rested for half the season in the hopes that his knees will survive to the playoffs. You think he's going to take the kind of money that any team would pay him to be the 8th guy? It's not even like he could run things while bench-heavy units were on the…

It was a post-championship treat for the Big Funadmental. Probably threw the barista off her game when he went away from the usual.

Salley definitely wasn't a starter on the '96 Bulls and he probably didn't start for whoever he played with in 2000. Still impressive to have played in the Finals in three different decades.

Thanks!

What/where's that "nail" you say Wade should have been on in that last example? Haven't heard that term before.

That was a well-placed logo/marquee/whatever.

I could usually get to the carrier landing and occasionally land, but if I did there was no way I would survive the next mission. Anyone know how long that game was?

Wait, a Brazilian named Fred? What the hell?
