Maybe it's a good idea to send a strong message to people that this is some serious stuff and they should get to safety ASAP. Acting like a tough guy (which you seem to think you're very good at, at least when you're posting from the safety of your computer) probably isn't the best way to serve the public.

Guess they didn't receive the advance memo that you apparently did saying it would only be a "moderate" earthquake and thus nothing to get excited about. I mean, what's the worst that could happen???

Where was Deadspin before this story was broken (by somebody else)? If Sterling's record is as blatant as it obviously appears to be, why is Deadspin just jumping on the outrage bandwagon now?

Apparently this is what passes for humor in Mr. Fontaine's world.

The fact you put this much effort into mocking a restaurant menu says more about you than Fieri, who everyone already knows is a clown.

Bullshit. There's being a poor defender and then there's not even making an effort.

It only looked good compared to all the other pitches that were so far from close.

Uh, no. A catcher is taught to block it with his body, not stab with his glove.

So really, just a once-in-a-lifetime incident unlike anything else that happens in America every day, right?

Pretty sure AA didn't arrest anybody, just reported it. Are you suggesting airlines shouldn't report potential threats to authorities? Imagine the hue and cry if they didn't and a tragedy happened.

So you're really saying "I'm part of Al Quaida" could never be construed (I assume that's the word you're looking for) as a threat? Seriously?

Not sure that's true, but regardless, only at the Masters is it decreed by the tournament itself and enforced on every broadcaster under penalty of excommunication.

But conversely, running through the bag requires an adjustment to hit the base, whether it's shortening your stride or stretching it and thus your foot being in the air longer. Either of those easily cancels out the process of preparing to dive.

Your speculation is no more useful than TMZ's. And you have even less knowledge of the situation.

Why is that?

The baseball rulebook is a mess, full of inconsistencies and errors. And every rulebook is subject to interpretations, both written and understood. Pointing to the rulebook, as opposed to common practice and commons sense, is a fool's errand.

Another Deadspin piece of phony-controversay clickbait. Well done.

Pretty sure this was just a bad call. No violation of the new rule; he clearly had the ball in his possession while blocking the plate long before the runner arrived. And the umpire just gave a standard safe signal; undoubtedly there would have been some mechanic if he were applying the new rule.

Really? You want the refs calling a ticky-tack touch like that on the last play of the game? You're got to be kidding.

Who do you think is responsible for more deaths on the road, those over 65 or those ages 16-22???
