was "I know this absolutely won't happen" and "Again, I have a zero percent expectation that this will happen" not a responsible enough caveat? Also, this isn't speculating; at no point do I say I think they might do this.

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I see you guys frequently lavishing some major praise on female sportscasters. That's fine, and I often agree, but it almost feels like a directive at times. To break me of my suspicions (about which I know you don't care), what female sportscasters do you NOT like?

I know this absolutely won't happen, but SHOULDN'T the Heat NOT re-sign Wade? Like, again, obviously they will; we all know how this works. But right now he's a free agent and they are under no obligation to take him back. Doesn't everyone agree he's the millstone around this team's neck? doesn't a Miami Heat without…

OH MY GOSH THAT ASCOT IS SO DOPE I CANNOT HANDLE IT

Gosh this photo is just LOADED with respect.

Sigh, yes, I know. Ok, I'll bite... don't you guys kind of have a point guard?

Gosh, for several seconds here at the end I thought this was a really clever bit of sarcasm. Just SO over-the-top earnest that it's hard to believe but you really THINK maybe he's serious and then that nice little punch at the end. Classic. Then I remembered that there actually is an NBA player named Greivous to whom…

Boy I tell you, kudos to MLB for putting this replay online. This is embarrassing.

The far better analogy would be the Sox player at the end of the bench considering himself a champion when his team wins. He contributed, even though he didn't really do much of the deed. If he says "We're champions" he's right. If he says "I'm a champion" he's right. He may not have had an at-bat, but he's a…

I have less of a problem with it; they have a little schtick going and have all year with this sort of "Bill is sort of a kid and we like to roll our eyes at him" thing, and it's something he may have just been kind of inadvertently over-playing to and, when mixed with actually being kind of pissed off (and…

This isn't worth another reply beyond this one, and it won't receive one, but 100,000 people reportedly watched this event. That's exactly what it says. Would it be BETTER the way you wrote it? As I said, yes. But the way it is written is accurate.

Also, speaking of getting pedantic, I think you're misunderstanding…

The reportedly is in reference to the number of people. It might fit better before the figure, but it's perfectly acceptable the way it is written.

third-to-last graph: "...kept athletes *ELIGIBLE"?

"Oh Allen... oh, you tried"

sublime.

Here's what I'm not understanding about this. The purpose of marriage is (any religious tenets aside, as that's obviously not a factor here) ostensibly to seal a commitment to someone you want to be with and partner with, hopefully because you love them and want to continue to love them for the rest of your life. The…

Rome really works if you listen to most of his show every day. You have to know the callers and the jokes and the bits. It's really probably more than seventy or eighty percent ROME SHOW STUFF and the rest general sports. Rome is great in that he makes you feel like a part of a club when you listen and you get to hate…

Part of the problem here is that almost every question (certainly with a few exceptions) is yes or no. That's just awful interview work. I liked Rome when he had a slot locally, but this is not a good job by him. Not like Evans is doing a great job for himself here obviously, but this is something I can't believe Rome…

I actually really agree with Drew's take on this because the reality is that reality shows are seriously the worst. Even the goodish ones like the Steve Nash thing Grantland has done makes him look self-important and douchey, and he's reportedly a pretty interesting guy. The thing that I'm worried about most has…

Sorry, I'm a copy editor. It's a curse.

I'm here for you.
