Amen to that.

This is going to sound like flattery but it’s the truth. I didn’t look to see who wrote the article before I started reading it (because who’s got time for that) and part way into the 1st paragraph I was thinking “dang this is well written.” This has happened several times lately and every time it was written by Ray…

BPD is DEFINITELY deal breaker... unless you love drama and emotional rollercoaster rides.

establishing itself as remotely financially viable for top players seems like a reasonable place to start.

It’s the plain background in center field of all ballparks. It gives the batter a clear (almost always green) background against the pitching hand and release point of the ball. So, in a nod to its purpose, it’s called a batter’s eye.

Pancake guy’s answer is better, but essentially there has to be a solid-colored dark area in center field just above the fence, so the batter can clearly see the white baseball coming at him (both to try to hit it and to be able to duck fast enough if it’s coming at his head). You’ve seen it a million times and…

Why is there a current fascination with “launch angle” and “exit velocity”?

In this case it is a curiosity. Same as a swinging strike on a Jordan Hicks fastball- it doesn’t matter how fast it was, you know it was fast.

This is ex-gawker. If it’s about anything that threatens their champions of the social justice (such as taxi companies, evidentialy) it’s the Big Bad.

Or have you just run out of actual shit to complain about today?

I mean, I’m pretty sure that’s how a limo service can work, if you request it.

What? What’s wrong with thinking Tiffany Trump is smokin’ hot?

“The palindrome of Bolton would be Notlob, it don’t work.”

I mean, you’re the guy writing for a sports news website and I’m just an internet commenter avoiding doing actual work on a Wednesday morning, but I get the sense that Magic had literally nothing to do with LeBron getting to the Lakers - LeBron went to the Lakers because it was the best fit for him, his business, his…

But imagine the real transaction of oil/gas if the government didnt subsidize it so heavily. The Gov is helping us all have cheap gas, which I strongly disagree with. Let the market and people decide what is too much for gasoline.

I guess if I just blogged from home I wouldn’t care much about fuel costs either...

and why he thinks gas prices should be steadily raised to $7 a gallon like in Europe, both inherently reasonable policy positions for someone to have, even someone who enjoys driving.

Joe Namath watches video, furiously scribbles notes.

Why is this bon mot delivered as though it’s a choice between two options? Izzo was weird but it’s fucking basketball, AND players should be getting paid more than they are.

300 lb with that height is reaching Shaq territory. Embiid is as tall as Shaq, for sure. But judging by his rather “zero body fat” frame. No way he is even close to 300 lb. For example, Spurs legend David Robinson is the closer body comparison to Embiid, and the former at his peak was never reached over 260 lb of…
