Your brother must be some kind of asshole if people taking potshots at him in broad daylight don’t make you bat an eye, but a couple of rednecks shooting cans out in the sticks makes you lose your mind.

I think the Dez Bryant no-catch was against the Packers. The Cowboys had beaten the Lions the previous week on some weird technicality though.

Incredibly ignorant.

I admire the Ravens commitment to taking a knee- but in fairness to the fans who attended the game they should’ve gotten off their knees at some point and played football.

Typical Kaepernik trying to make everything about them. Clearly Trump was tweeting about NFL players taking a knee.

Lot of people here sacrificing socks to the cause. Might I suggest my preferred solution- to rip off a sleeve or two from your shirt. I know this dates me a bit- I did most my running pre-dry fit.

Do you guys ever get sick of looking for things to get outraged at? What’s the takeaway here? The Italian flag is the same as the Mexican if you take away the coat of arms? Thanks!

In terms of statistics- how are Wade Boggs and Al Kaline not on par with Clemente and Robinson? I get that Jackie Robinson’s number is retired everywhere- that doesn’t put him in the top 10 all time though.

Very much enjoyed this. Could you please publish an exact hierarchy of privilege? I had a 2nd generation Hispanic female come up to me today furious that I wouldn’t acknowledge how privileged I was as a male American Indian. I almost lost my mind.

I was also shocked at how much everyone is fawning over Watson. He had a nearly identical stat line and ESPN couldn’t stop writing about how amazing he was.

Why do people care if the purses are different for men and women? Shouldn’t the attendance and ratings be reflected in the purses? I have no idea how popular men’s tennis is compared to women’s- but I’m pretty sure they aren’t at exact parity.

Ironic that the next post you can comment on is WNBA analysis- I’d far rather read about random commenters fantasy squads.

Is it crazy to think they wanted to give him a 2 game suspension last year and agreed with Jerry to push it  off until the beginning of this year and make it 4 games (initially 6, but reduced to 4 upon appeal). Win-win because last year’s playoff run goes off without a hitch and NFL looks like they came down hard on…

Maybe he realized that he was being a bit hyper critical in his initial take and once the circumstances were better explained to him was able to write a more rationale piece.

I think it’s unreasonable for the Astros to ask this and Texas offered a fair compromise. Its asking a lot to have everyone who had tickets to the Hou series here to give them up and replace it with a surprise series this week.

My only caveat would be that Ichiro was racking up hits at age 18, and a meaningful amount of at bats by age 20. I’m not saying that he wouldn’t have been good enough to play in the MLB at age 20- but there are plenty of guys- particularly guys that don’t project to have a lot of power or that the team wants to put…

Also of note: the Yankees pulled him in the 7th for a pinch hitter who had two additional plate appearances in his absence.

Agreed, he seems to be taking an absurd amount of walks, that OBP is better than the average player. A typical OBP is ~60 pts higher than your BA, his is nearly 160, which means he’s getting on by walk nearly as often as by hit!

Yeah, I’ll start reading the books when he’s done writing them, the last thing I want is to read four books, take a decade break and then read two more (or however many he has left to write).
