“Sigh. So somehow he improved his bat speed to “hit for distance”, but that didn’t let him sit on pitches to improve overall contact? You might want to actually look at his stats. His two best year, average wise, were after he broke the HR record...or when he clearly took steroids.” All I wanted to point out was that…

My point is not to excuse Bonds. It’s that we excuse lots of players and chalk it up to allegations or just a shoulder shrug but people seem to be especially offended by Bonds. Manning was just a prominent example of someone who is considered great that no one cares about. I don’t like the extra hate that Bonds gets…

Actually the moda center has the Winterhawks (logo shockingly similar to the Blackhawks so it looks like there are a ton of Chicago fans in Portland) play there often so I’m not sure how much retro-fitting is necessary, but you have a good point. I was in school in Pittsburgh when it looked like they might move to KC…

Oh don’t get me wrong, I agree with all the making a better choice to not live in the icy depths of a cold cold hell. But you hit the nail on the head with my problem of (some) southern teams. I also went to Thrashers games for two years and they were awful to go to because there was no home fan base. I hate that in…

As a Pitt guy this kills me but it is awesome. The second that switch was made, everyone just started yelling “nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” and then Kemba proved us right.

This is a great hockey rant. I don’t agree with it but it’s fantastic.

“But look at that shot: one inch, one more inch to the right, and the game’s tied up and who knows what happens then?” I’m really hoping because it’s the Ducks that you were directly referring to this. “But one [inch] the other way and you would have missed completely”

I’m sorry do you have the blood test that caught my husband? That if goes equally to both of them, and Manning is the only one who had them found in his home and used thugs to threaten someone about it. Go home Mrs. Manning, you’re drunk.

Haha, I’ve been there too. I didn’t mean to be as dickishly condescending as my comment sounds. Even if he had a calendar, but no big deal was made about his age then I could see him screwing it up by 4-7 years. I don’t remember the difference between my 4th and 5th birthday other than the candles on the cake in…

Bonds hit 30+ HRs every year but 1 beginning in 1990, including 46 in 1993 (the year of his 3rd MVP) http://deadspin.com/sure-it-just-t… And I just compare to Manning because everyone gets on Bonds for ‘roid use and having a long productive career, despite the fact he denied it all and was never really caught (he did…

That would be -280 odds. And you make that kinda bet in regular season games of the Warriors vs the Nuggets (or something) because basically you’re taking the short odds for a much better chance at winning some $$. Edit* Oh and you get to keep your $280 as well. You always get your money back + some extra if you win.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say there aren’t a lot of wall calendars where he lived in South Sudan. Also it’s clear he didn’t think he was 17 (said 1998 was too young) but probably 22-25 which is understandable

Yes. Do you think Peyton Manning would have won a super bowl without them?

Sir Davos, the onion knight is the best.

Jesus? WAR ON CHRISTIANS!

That’s a “ok good we got the lead, now play D” look. There was still time. I don’t like Dwight but this is absurd.

Some people connect their lives, moments, loves, tragedies, and sense of being to music. If you are one of those people and Prince was a big part of your life than you lost someone whose art you knew and whose artistry you cherished. If you’re not one of those types of people than this shouldn’t and doesn’t have to…

This is the correct opinion.

maybe if people would turn off their fucking phones and enjoy the concert instead of just going to show their friends they are cool then they would have had a good time

You were a Don King fan weren’t you?
