I’m guessing 6'4 340 is what they meant.

Rather than sliding straight into the base, he even swung his body sideways and kicked his legs out at Simmons. It makes him looks like he’s trying slide across the hood of the General Lee rather than slide into second.

Every Blue Jays fan knows what a PoS Odor is. He starts a fight over a much less egregious slide against him... lest he could do is own this and acknowledge that what he did was clearly and plainly illegal.

That is EXACTLY the slide the rule is supposed to get rid of. I mean, when they showed video of what was going to be made illegal they must have had a time machine because I’m pretty sure that one was shown.

You do realize the instagram post pre-dates the events in question by about 2 years? No? Check the date. Ditto for the tweet. Neither one could possibly be statements about that game.

Your calling it fiction does not make it so. People a lot smarter than you believe. Sure, many smarter also do not believe. But this fact should slow down some of your arrogance.

Like you? Who apparently can’t handle people who don’t agree with you.

As repugnant as her views are, she asserted them in just about as unoffensive a manner as you could possibly hope for. Quietly staying home for “personal reasons” >>>>>>>> the millions of other ways she could have turned this into a right wing spectacle of outrage and grievance politics.

Would the article be written, and would the response differ, if she a different faith? I suspect so. I’m atheist and think it’s all nuts, but I find the different reactions just as crazy.

Probably in the minority here, but I think it’s fair for an athlete not to want to take part in someone else’s political speech - not wearing the jersey isn’t that different than not wanting to stand for the anthem. This isn’t a private team, it’s the USWNT, for all intents and purposes an arm of the state.

No, he can’t step more towards first than he did, because he needs a throwing angle unobstructed by the batter-runner. He also stepped three feet away from the plate, which you’d think would be sufficient to “not leave himself open to this at all,” under the apparently naive assumption that his opponents would play by…

JVG is just as terrible. He talks nonsense constantly, even during actual play when the game is still to be decided. I hate them both.

If Mark Jackson then becomes the sideline reporter, Pop’s glares will liquify him.

ESPN needs to boot Mark Jackson into the sun and give Doris the microphone.

You just lost your argument by going Roy Jones Jr. There is not any day over the last 20 years that he could’ve beat Klitschko. Tyson neither, but I’m ignoring that anyone would suggest Tyson as being the best boxer of the last 20 years.

This. I don’t really know why there’s such a push to compare men’s and women’s tennis when they’re fundamentally very different. Fed handled the question much more gracefully than anyone has in...not just recent memory, but maybe ever, but either way the idea that we somehow have to mix and compare the two sports…

Not by me. He ducked prime Pacquiao for *YEARS*.

Floyd Mayweather has been considered the best boxer of the last 20 twenty years. He’d get whupped by any above average heavyweight.

You make a fine, fine point.

1. I’m really not a fan of that clickbait title, especially after reading the actual quote.
