Independent minor league baseball teams like the St. Paul Saints and Gary Indiana (LOL) Railcats can turn a profit in the over clogged baseball market. That’s while there are four MLB teams, two legitimately MLB affiliated minor league systems and two college prospect leagues in the area. Not to mention college and…

Most of the popular sports media stories, like deflategate, are elaborate hoaxes blown up to keep people talking (indirectly) about the sport. Initially funded by the league itself to get influential people to blow up the story. The league’s, mainly talking NFL, try to pawn/leak many stories throughout the year to…

Classic. Call the person you disagree with dumb because you THINK it bolsters your argument. Actually, it just makes you seem witless.

Perceived basically takes into account the speed of the pitch and the distance at which the ball left the pitcher’s hand. The friction provided by the air on the way to the plate slows a pitch significantly. I don’t know the exact numbers, but a 95mph fastball will read around 80mph if it’s clocked at the plate and…

Because we should all comment the way that best pleases you.

Sam not showing up? God, I’m happy you guys fired that fucker.

I just want to know what the fuck happened to that Sam guy who wrote that puff story on Russell Wilson. Please tell me he got axed hard as fuck.

This is what it looks like when fat people sit in stadium seats.

Is that how you and Priefer communicated?

Hack-a-player is dope.

I like that last line. I may use it. Consider this your reference credit. I think most fighters have one main style they master that really is their foundation. All the other martial arts they mix in are not mastered, but are high-level. It’d be like the RB knowing the routes the receiver runs, but not having the…

That’s the point: the contenders of every weight class are who people want to see, and consequently the most paid athletes the UFC has. And there are only 5-6 competitiors in each weight-class that can fight competitively against one another at any given time. More top level fighters equals more top level fights…

You can’t sell overwhelming beat downs or sorry-ass flailing slap-fights. There’s a small amount of elite fighters per weight class in the world that can compete against each other, while making the brutal art of combat aesthetically brilliant. The combined weight classes have an overall roster of talent the size of…

NFL or MLB? Who owns them? It’s just a brand that bands together all the owners under set rules to make it profitable for everyone.

Even more shocking... the Twins were winning.

Regular commenters can’t match a Cardinals fan’s commenting PROWESS. Best commenters in Deadspin.

Us plebes throwing around regular old “comments” don’t have what it takes to match up with the Best Commenter in Deadspin!

27 years of age should have been his literal athletic prime (age at the London Olympics), but he was in a terrible mental state following the 2009 world championships in Rome. An odd self-loathing period, that resulted in a lack of true training up until 1.5 years(!) before the games in London, probably cost himself…

So the Sam Eifling guy... he get fired for that Russell Wilson post or what?

Did you see him start crying after landing on the floor at the end of the game Sunday night? Yeah, two or three football plays and he’s toast.
