Is everyone watching a goddamned different play than me? He lowers the crown of his helmet to where the opponents helmet is. If it wasn’t the earhole from an unexpected misdirection it would have been the chin. This is targeting. This makes football unwatchable. I can’t wait for the MLB playoffs, but I’ll have to…

If we retaliate in any way I’d be shocked. There was no malice in in the bat flip. That bat flip was pure. Besides we have no “play the game the right way”-ers on the squad. Go forth in peace Mets. May you choke the playoffs away another day.

you are not a very enjoyable human being.

alright alright. come on guys. he missed the joke. take it easy with making fun of him — he’s had his Phil.

I would have assumed this story was a lie until the part where you admit that your music was a mix of incubus and dave matthews. No one would make that up about themselves. Consider yourself believed.

because when your team would be better off putting a wooden post in the outfield and saying it counts as an out if the ball coincidentally hits it and you get on base at a .316 clip the value of those 25 dongs quickly shrivels away.

just reading the news I think god has had a pretty rough week too. maybe they should both head back the minors for some seasoning...

I just got sucked into a linkhole that lead me to the post book of basketball Charles Pierce/Bill Simmons feud. How did Pierce end up working at Grantland after all that? Anyone know?

Can I get some love here?

It’s a goddamned playoff game. Keep scoring points until the buzzer sounds. No one wants to be the team that turns Frank Reich into a household name...

all good points. The one thing I would disagree with is that according to the reports from the day he *was* playing shallow — probably so he could throw Doby out at home on a single and knowing that he could get to any ball over his head. As he later demonstrated.

What people who make this claim generally don’t realized (I’m not saying you don’t, just generally) is that center field in the Polo Grounds was about 470 feet away from home plate and Mays played a notoriously shallow center. So Mays covered a shit ton of ground, made the basket catch, and whirled around and got the…

by very definition of calling something “bush league” no-rule is being broken. Just looked down upon. But only people who don’t like fun call things bush league.

eh. I live in Delaware (which also swung White’s direction), and about 2 minutes from both the PA and NJ borders and White is pretty much all I ever see anymore. People pretty much gave up on modern jerseys in the Chip Kelly era. Oh and I own one too. So 100% of people in my household own Reggie White throwbacks.…

Legitably? Able to be legitimized? Arguably legitimate?

Oh my god. I swore I heard that, but no one else at the bar caught it. Somehow I came out looking like a racist...
