I had a job that required the flu shot. I had the shot 10 times. I ONLY got the flu 10 times in my life. Each time was the year I had the shot. I have a reaction to the shot each time too. Not some other illness, FULL BLOWN influenza. 7-10 days on my ass. I can say with complete confidence that for some people it is…

Good list of myths. However even acknowledging they’re myths I still think it’s not crazy for healthy adults who don’t work with children or in healthcare to skip the flu shot. That’s not to say it’s a bad idea to get the flu shot, but (IMO) it’s not clearly a good one if you make some reasonable assumptions about the…

In January, 1997 I had a flu shot. Within three weeks I was stricken with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease that tricks your body into destroying your own nerves. I was paralyzed from the neck down. I was told I would be up and walking in 6 months. 19 years later, I sit in my wheelchair - a…

And this is why fantasy football is the worst. Just play Madden 17, dude.

I just want extra muff

I wish I got extra points for punts in my fantasy muff league.

World, meet the newest BEST booth* in baseball.

Can’t find a video clip, but Leon Washington also pulled it off with the Jets back in ‘08. The announcers--and apparently, so too were the refs--then were also initially confused, but later lauded his awareness.

This rule will be changed immediately after the Patriots befuddle the Ravens with it.

Somewhere Bill Belichick just became urgently aroused, and he doesn’t know why.

Lots of commenters here apparently don’t know this very basic baseball rule.

He definitely tagged him, but in order to count as a put-out he needs to retain control of the ball. Since he dropped it immediately afterwards he did not have control, Dustin is safe. Here’s the definition of a tag from the MLB rulebook:

He dropped the ball. If he’d hung on he may have gotten the call. But you have to make the tag and keep control of the ball.

As Dan Patrick used to say on Sportscenter, “He’s listed as day to day, but, then again, aren’t we all?”

Bullshit. He caught the ball took two or three steps, he id deemed a runner at that point, targeting does not apply. Learn the rules.

Because he’s a runner, so by definition not defenseless, and the contact wasn’t with the crown of the helmet. Simple.

Eh, I file that under “what the fuck ya gonna do?” He didn’t launch, he led with his shoulder, their heads just happens to smack together. Sometimes shit happens in football, it’s part of the very violent nature of the game. I wouldn’t argue if a penalty or something was called, but all I see is he didn’t think to go…

It doesn’t look like he targeted the player maliciously. He really did lead with the shoulder but he had to pull up because his teammate was in the way.
