It’s a few years old now, but I finally read “The Warmth of Other Suns” by Isabel Wilkerson. It’s probably the best non-fiction book I’ve read in the last 10 years, and I’m so mad at myself for waiting so long to read it.

This is slightly off topic, but Dana O’Neil has to be one of the worst national sports writers in America, right? Her articles read like a parody of everything obnoxious and awful about college sports.

Remember I see the word “thrice”, I always think of this. Every damn time.

Someone on Twitter put it best: One day Cam is going to die on the field and he’ll get called for delay of game.

And her dad is The D.O.C. That kid is going to be crazy talented and really cool.

206 was awful and 2017 will be far worse, but what are you looking forward to next year? A book, a movie, a sports related event, the birth of a child, anything at all. What’s happening in 2017 that will actually be good?

Are you sure? I seem to recall him saying “fucking”. Then Mr. Burns shot Maggie, right?

Sure, Curt Schilling is a pathetic excuse for a human being. But what’s so bizarre about all of this is that’s not what initially kept him out of the Hall. At first he didn’t get in because voters didn’t seem to understand how great he was. I despise the man, but he’s probably one of the five best pitchers I’ve ever…

He got concussed while scrambling for a 3-9 team, that was down 24-3, on a play that didn’t even count.

Mingus Ah Um was the first album of his that I ever listened to, and I love it. It took a few years before I discovered that his biggest enthusiasts kind of hate it, and I’m still not sure if my love for it is purely about what the album is or if it’s mostly because it was my first exposure to him.

I’m not sure why people always say this. Look at the shape of his head. Do you realize how stupid he’d look bald? Sure, his hairline looks terrible, but I promise you he’d look worse if he shaved it all off. People just think he should shave it because 1) He’s always compared to Jordan, who shaved his head, and 2)…

Yup. And on that topic, here’s a story about Kate Mara’s ex-boyfriend denting a Lombardi Trophy

I’m not normally an emotional person, but that really got to me.

Remember last season when McCutchen gave his batting gloves to those two kids in the stands at the end of a road game, and they kept pointing at him and screaming “I love you!” I can’t remember the last time any interaction between a player and kids made me that happy.

The Parade of Gasbags is one of my favorite things they’ve ever done.

It is, but my only problem with it is that he talks about football a LOT, and I’m at a point where I don’t really care about the NFL anymore. But it’s a great show.

“That’s like a AL pitcher on deck talking about he hitting.”

Dan doing that for his dad, and seeing the purely joyful reaction from him, made me think of my relationship with my parents and I actually got emotional. That was great television.

The last player to average 30 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks over a full season was Bob McAdoo, for the Buffalo Braves. It’s been so long since someone put up numbers like this that Buffalo still had a basketball team.

I’m glad to see you writing more about basketball. This is really good work.
