What’s ironic is SI *was* actually mentioned, quite prominently, in the media literally within the past month — Robert Klemko broke a couple of huge stories (the first one deeply reported) on Antonio Brown. Without his work exposing Brown’s abuse (verbal, financial and physical) and the courage of the people who…

Mayock has played this poorly. You wanted this super-diva, and you got him. Now that he’s acting like a super-diva, you leak to your guy Mike Silver that he had (shocker!) a “different set of rules” and “imagine if another employee...” stuff — nope. He’s not just another employee; he gets another set of rules —…
Two things:
- 1987 wasn’t some “random year.” It was famously the “rabbit ball” year where all sorts of previously light-weight hitters started jacking home runs at notably higher rates than before.
If you pick 1988 (0.76), 1986 (0.91), 1989 (0.73) or 1985 (0.86) etc, you’ll see what an outlier, pre-steroids, 1987 was.
-…
I understand!
Coincidentally, this weekend, I had to stare down a parent/grandparent/whatever during an all-important, *rec league* flag football game for 11-12 year olds, who decided it was a good idea to ride the official (e.g., “That spot is 2 yards too far!” “The blitzer is leaving a second early!”) for a good portion of the…
When she was 43 years old (which is when she started competing as Renee Richards)?
That’s not a useful case-study. Age gets everyone and brings them low in terms of competitive athletics.
As a Metro Detroit TV viewer who gets CBC as part of the standard cable package, I’m pretty sure that “at a wake” guy is Jim Treliving, one of the co-hosts of “Dragon’s Den”, aka the “Shark Tank” of Canada.
Lighten up Jim — you’re rich!
Ha! That’s right. Thanks.
Even has the shades!
I had noticed over the last year or two that, when he was walking around the man cave and doing various athletic activities (like shooting hoops) that he was noticeably stiffer and slower.
I had chalked it up to, “Guess he’s just getting older” but this diagnosis explains it even more.
Good luck to him with his…
This is a total guess, but from the pants, I’m guessing it’s a golfer, so I’m going to go with Jack Nicklaus.
So what you’re saying is...Lee Elia was right.
Right downtown, and PRINT IT!
To be honest, Shaq doesn’t have a voice for radio, TV or any medium where it is important that you be able to understand more than 2/3 of what someone is saying.
He gets by on his witty personality and his fit with Chuck, Kenny & EJ, but I wish he would take some elocution lessons or something.
What’s fantastic about this is how about the Blazers are about it — you can not only see Portland’s strategy when you are watching the game, but in the post-game press conferences - Blazers players are being completely clear about what their strategy is regarding Westbrook (side note: players answering questions…
Yeah, I’m going to have to agree with the “nobody can say it” camp (Edit: as an insult, at the least, to be clear) to another person. This is a workplace, and there are all sorts of rules for workplace behavior that err on the side of caution to make sure a place of work isn’t unduly hostile.
For example, how do we…
I saw this movie this weekend with my pre-teen son and we both really enjoyed it. I do have a couple questions/comments (spoilers to come):
- Why did Billy Batson get chosen? The beginning makes a big deal that 56 kids (including the eventual supervillain) got rejected, it seemed b/c they were not pure enough. Billy…
As a parent of a kid who spent a week in a NICU (long story, but he was only supposed to spend 1 day there, but because the less-intensive “step down” wards were at max capacity, they kept him in the NICU) over a decade ago, I’m really surprised this wasn’t already a thing.
That’s b/c regularly when we would come back…
Superintendent Helgerson reportedly told the Star-Tribune, “Fear was not our reason.”
As noted, the Al Washington hire is a loss for UM but was basically expected, as he is an OSU legacy, from Columbus, knows Day and was only at Michigan for a year.
The Mattison things is weird — both on Michigan’s side (he, supposedly is good friends with the entire Harbaugh family — did something happen?) and OSU’s…
I totally agree. Can someone explain it to me? I only listen/watch about once a week (usually on Monday when Stugotz does his Larry King-esque quick takes on the weekend in sports) and it’s a pretty good show, so I haven’t come across Samson much, but I know he’s a regular.
Dan’s show prides itself on being “smart”…
