I’m a moderate BS fan, probably in the same demographic as most of his followers (white, a couple years younger than Bill). I really don’t get why he seemed to have a hip-hop artist on his show nearly every week (in some cases, more than one covering two different segments). I’m not one of those “get off my lawn”…

shouldn’t it be on the middle finger?

While not impossible, I still don’t think he faked the sock. But he’s also the only player I can even imagine doing it.

Catcher visits to the mound should be the same as the pitching coach. You’re allowed one per pitcher per inning before you have to take him out.

I had zero rooting interest, but if I were Arians I’d be even more upset that there was no review of what looked like a TD (at the very least it was extremely close) in OT before Catanzaro missed his chip-shot.

How does Magic Johnson manage to get himself into this picture? Wasn’t the baseball team he “owns” playing last night? Does he actually have any role with the Sparks? I know the Lakers disavowed him for his tweets.

Totally. I was at this game and in no way blame Beltran, who was great that entire season. Blame Heilman, or even better Billy Wagner, who made it clear earlier that series that pitching in a non-save situation, even in the playoffs, was beneath his dignity.

Very sad. I don’t really follow the NFL any more but I was a big Jets fan back in Byrd’s era. They were in the midst of a miserable season when Byrd got hurt in 1992. But the game after the injury, they shocked the Bills in Buffalo, with Brian Washington intercepting two passes in the final minutes. Damning with…

Billy is, at best, the sixth most famous Bush behind W., H.W., Jeb!, Barbara, and Laura.

Whoever designed the Tribune website should be fired. Make’s SI.com’s old format seem easy to navigate.

OMG I am so sick of Rapaport he keeps popping up on all my favorite sports tv shows & podcasts. Why?

Is Zach Britton alive,

odds on #1 seem about right. #2 should actually be around -999990

Genealogy is one of my hobbies and I recently discovered that General Flynn is a pretty close relative, somewhere around a third cousin. I’ve suddenly lost a lot of interest in that hobby.

I think you’re right that Clemente was the last active baseball player as good as Fernandez to die suddenly. But Clemente was nearing the end, Jose should have had many great years.

So Dora Nocturn isn’t a real person, right?

Couldn’t make it 10 seconds into the Berman commercial. He’s a walking migraine.

Well, he is Rush Limbaugh’s BFF.
