I find it hilarious that your entire non-point boiled down to “but his feet touched the ground” and you want to pretend my end isn’t holding up. No amount of creative writing is going to make that player defenseless, but please keep soldiering on anyway! I can’t wait to see the next desperate Hail Mary you throw up.

He wasn’t stopped, let alone “cemented in place.” His legs were still pumping when the second hit came.

In OBJ’s defense, the grounds crew member kept telling him that he’s “not just a member of the grounds crew, he’s also a part owner of the team”.

...it’s just what he believes. He’s entitled to that.

Because MLB is allowed to set the rules under which teams can hire players (and their anti-trust exemption backs that up). Trout would be free to leave his existing contract and sign with another employer, but MLB can still tell their teams that he isn’t a free agent and they can’t sign him. So while he could go play…

Considering the legal latitude that US sports leagues get regarding labor from the federal government (Hello, Anti-Trust Exemption!), I have very little confidence that a state labor law would work in any court. Or even if it would, the steps needed to win said case would probably push SCOTUS-level. Meaning it’d…

For starters, one game probably is a good enough punishment. That, plus the pillorying Grayson Allen got in the media and elsewhere is fine; let’s not pretend he punched someone in the back of the head.

I assume the back surgery is an exploratory procedure in which they’ll be looking for something resembling a spine.

If only there were a famous DeMarcus Brothers who had a troublesome cousin.

This is so amazing. The Jeff Fisheriest thing that could ever happen...

On the bright side, this should give the Rams some added leverage when negotiating Fisher’s next contract. 

Average home price in and of itself doesn’t actually give a great comparison, though. The larger question is whether that roughly $800,000 will buy you roughly the same thing on Manhattan vs. Brooklyn. Put another way, the real indicator of whether prices are comparable is price per square foot, which the article you…

Haha! Yeah, all New Yorkers are 25 years old. Fun fact, New Yorkers don’t do any non hipster stuff like going to MoMA, the Met, the Cloisters, Broadway, Mets/Knicks/Rangers games, riding the SI ferry and going Ellis Island, seeing NDT lecture at the Hayden Planetarium, The Highline, Central Park, Hunter’s Point, et…

Having lived in New York, and then lived other places, you find yourself referring to the times you lived in New York more often (and for a longer period in your life) than you refer to the times you lived in other places.

There’s a reason big cities are pricey and small towns are not.

Utd and Spurs both got favorable draws, and by favorable I mean west of the Rhine.

Ya, he just happened to make no effort to stop, slide two legged into his knee and kick out so hard he almost drove Price to the back boards... That was completely intentional

Turn in your card now and go cheer for Boston or Toronto. Nice to see Price sending a message to the other teams, his team0mates and the league.
