Your take is 100% correct. Moneyball is about exploiting market inefficiencies, which requires finding new inefficiencies in order to work long term. Defenses will adapt to a new strategy, and players who were previously undervalued (a major element of Moneyball) will become properly valued (or even overvalued). When…

What makes this the most hilarious is that the Raiders acquired one of the best receivers in the NFL, a guy who has a legitimate chance at the Hall of Fame, for a third and a fifth round pick and somehow lost the trade.

In 2019 through the end of August there were 242 days and 297 mass shootings. We have a panic attack when we see a guy with a gun because we live in a country where, excluding gang and drug violence, there is more than one mass shooting every single day.

The second amendment is *not* clearly defined. In the entire history of the United States of America only 10 Supreme Court cases even *mention* the Second Amendment, only 6 of them are actually about it. For reference there are roughly 260 on the Fourth Amendment.

In 2010 the Chargers became one of only 4 teams since the merger to lead the NFL in both offense and defense. The 2010 Chargers were, at least on a statistical basis, historically dominant. Their special teams was so bad they didn’t even make the playoffs.

I think that the tanking is a major culprit here. Of the four major North American sports baseball is by far the worst to be a fan of a truly terrible team because there’s just so much losing.

Counterpoint: There was an O-Linesman in the XFL with the nickname “Big Daddy”

Yeah, the one who wasted $100 million dollars to get absolutely destroyed in two Senate elections

Red Bull and Monster Hydro are both more subtle in their flavor and mouthfeel which is really nice. Most energy drinks are incredibly sweet and in your face, it’s just too much sometimes and results in a drink that is really sticky and syrupy.

It’s the eternal conundrum of the scrambling QB. I hope the Ravens manage to figure it out. There are way too many of these guys who had a few seasons of brilliance followed by a long stretch of mediocrity, and I’d like to see someone buck that trend because scrambling QBs are fun as hell.

Sometimes I’m reminded that Janikowski was selected 17th overall and I laugh more than I should

I hope he makes the team, or at least the practice squad. It’s a good story and running a 4.38 he can at least simulate a speedy WR or return guy in practice.

Doing it on a mega-ramp only sort of counts, IMHO. This is impressive, but not as impressive as doing a 900 out of a standard halfpipe

The best part was that the top response tweet was saying that the Cardinals wasted the first overall pick based on this video

I have to disagree with Goalies because hockey goalies aren’t assholes as much as they’re just crazy

I just checked the team website and it seems that there are only 12 players on the Bengals Roster who are old enough to have seen them win a playoff game

The guy shitting on the Wings is wrong (yes I’m making this about hockey, I don’t need to spend any more time thinking about how depressing the Lions will be). Yeah the Wings should have started the rebuild earlier, but they have some very exciting young pieces. There’s no cap space but current cap space is useless in…

Christian Hackenberg is quite possibly the worst value draft pick of all time. With the exception of a guy who played in the USFL instead of the NFL (Gene Bradley) he is the only QB since the merger drafted in either the 1st or 2nd round who never played a single NFL game.

Analyst Steve Dangle said “NBA trades involve at least one team, if not both, acquiring star players. NHL trades involve at least one team, if not both, acquiring terrible, injured, and/or basically retired players and requires a four-hour PowerPoint presentation from CapFriendly to explain it all.” He’s right, as he…

I 100% agree on the national anthem. I really hate performative patriotism. You can love your country without wearing an American flag t-shirt and yelling “not as tired as our *troops*” at anyone who says they’re sleepy. I get the national anthem before the Superbowl, game one of the World Series, at the Olympics,…
