The ability to murder dozens of people in a couple of minutes is high-powered enough I think. Thanks.

Exactly. “The damage caused by firing a shitty coach with a terrible record was far worse than the loss of dozens of scholarships for multiple years, a bowl ban, an 8-figure fine, and a lifetime of ‘Pedo State’ jokes.”

Remember when Beckman had his assistants stand outside PSU player’s dorms/parking lots immediately after the sanctions were announced in 2012 and tried to recruit them to transfer to Illinois? Was that morally ok?

“He has a conservative view of gay rights” is an awfully nice way of saying he doesn’t want them to have any rights and are a lesser group of people. 

Came here to say the same thing. Very underrated part of the video is how the lineman only had to move like 4 steps each time. Remarkable accuracy.

Ahh ok, that makes more sense I guess. I thought she was pulling you 500 miles in a different direction at the last minute.

I was referring to the niceness of the towns, just how they’re like 500 miles apart. Seemed like an abrupt travel plan change.

Where did you live at the time? This is mighty confusing.

Wait, you planned on going to St. Louis, but your girlfriend convinced you to go to Mississippi instead? That seems...drastic.

2002 - sophomore year at Penn State. We’re 3-0 coming in to a game against 3-1 Iowa.

Jesus Christ, that was like a 70-yard backpass attempt. Horrible.

Isn’t the heartland supposed to be, like, the middle of the country where crops are grown? Because this is northern Ohio next to a fucking lake.

YES. YES. THANK YOU.

So the sport is secondary to having fun, but you have very narrow guidelines on how all of the 20-30 people that are playing with you should be trying. You can literally be doing anything else with your friends to have the same amount of (or more!) fun.

Of course. I definitely didn’t mean “aim to hurt them,” I just meant “aim in the general direction of someone.” Most girls in my league played catcher or outfield, anyway.

But you can “be social” and have a “good time with friends” in literally hundreds of different ways, instead of doing something that is inherently competitive with a winner and a loser!

Stuff like this fascinates me though. Should you be aiming at the best player on the team instead? Not aiming at all and just saying fuck it I don’t care what happens? Why bother trying at all? Why spend the money and the effort to play a sport that you have no interest in what the outcome is? Why not just go to a bar…

I used to play in a competitive national co-ed kickball tournament circuit (it’s a real thing!), and about 95% of the team’s lineups were: all men until the last 4 (required) women kick at the very bottom. I always felt very icky about that, and never did that when I captained my local team.

He played 27 seasons, was a near-unanimous HOF inductee, and only made the All-Star game 8 times! Dude is a treasure trove of fun facts.
