Based on my only ever watching Miami when they play the Bears/Colts/Lions, I just assumed the Dolphins were undefeated at home, perpetually.

That play should settle that nagging feeling everyone gets that the Patriots are spying on other teams’ practices.

What was utterly dumb about that is the refs still would have had to have given the defense time to substitute.  

Maybe this is the Baseball Hall of Fame leaning towards actually representing the depth of their sport and therefore worth visiting, like the Hockey Hall of Fame.

People are entitled to be wistful that the glorious memories of Lloyd Waner and Stanley Coveleski are being tainted by the Lee Smith’s of the world, but…

The funny thing about Baines election to the HoF is that it is justified by how un-HoF most of his numbers actually are. No auto-elect stats like 500 HR or 3000 hits, not a huge metrics guy, not voted-in because his defense was elite, not a wizard on the basepaths, not disproportionately well-thought-of because of a…

That's awesome.

It’s not pretzel logic. Throw out all their stats after they did steroids, and they still had better careers - in advanced metrics, in traditional stats, in awards and accomplishments - than all but a select few players to have ever played the game.

I know you can’t compare eras yadda yadda, but I am pretty sure Dave Stieb would have struck out 400 batters had he pitched in 2018.  Stieb’s slider was absolutely ridiculous.  

Except both Bonds and Clemens had HoF-level careers before they ever did steroids.  

Just look at Clemens’ WAR through 1996 - 81.0, which would have ranked 26th amongst pitchers all time.  With the exception of Clemens and Mike Mussina, every pitcher with a career WAR of 81 or over is in the HoF (and Mike Mussina should be in there, too).  

I’m of the opinion that both Bonds and Clemens should be in the HoF based on their ‘obvious’ pre-PED seasons, considered apart from their post-PED seasons. Clemens career WAR through his age-33 season is 81, which would rank him 26th among pitchers all-time. Bonds’ career WAR through his age-33 season was 99.9, which…

I liked the first Thor movie, and didn’t hate the second; in fact, his MCU arc overlays perfectly his comic self - the Thor book was a real slog until Walt Simonson showed up, then he finally got a personality and supporting characters that weren’t screambags and background pikers.

Only to find out they’re being coached by Andy Reid.  

I thought he looked oddly... smoothed. But being a dolt, I didn’t consider that in context with Nat’s hair or his old suit.  They’re totally hanging out in 2016.

That was just a plywood mock-up of Asgard, constructed while Surtur was held up at the William J. le Petomane Bifrost Thruway.

Yeah, but for those first couple of weeks, gas prices would be unbeatable. Hell, it would be Black Friday for months with everyone trying to reduce inventory in adjustment to a smaller client base.

I was pissed when I found out St. Louis got ‘gifted’ another upgrade, but seeing as how it gets Weaver out of the division, I’m not as upset as I was at first. That dude is for real, and if Goldshmidt doesn’t put up Goldschmidtian numbers, we could be talking about how Arizona fleeced St. Louis here.

Especially if you are a simulated Jedi fighting simulated T-Rexii

Good.  Gooood.

So what does insurance cover? Hospital costs I assume, but what about seeing your GP or something? Do people generally know what an employer’s benefits are like before they’re employed?
