I wholly respect your opinions on this issue. To me though, it sounds like the culture of your workplace is completely fucked and that is unfortunate. I am highly lucky to work in a place where we have a wide swath of demographics and different political leanings - i.e. men/women ranging from new college grads to…

I would say the number is about even in terms of big league readiness from South and Central America, as the current system is set up to draft young talent - see the current rules:

I agree with you - the US Amateur draft is a staple and a concession the MLBPA would never be able to compensate for. My confusion is founded in the fact that there is not some sort of rift within the MLBPA due to the initial salaries/contracts for international amateurs being so drastically different.

I’m confused - why aren’t the American born players fighting to have their amateur draft revoked then? How would an international draft differe than that of US-born players that has been in place for decades? Is there some fine print I am missing on certain stipulations the owners were pushing for in said…

I’m sure the APD will more than adequately handle this case. However, I wander if the APD will count this in their quotas (Fuck the APD): http://reason.com/blog/2014/08/20/auburn-ticket-quota-case-dismissed.

What if they were to incentive the the kicking team by making a kick that goes out of the endzone “touchback” to the 15 or kicking it through the uprights would “touchback” to the 10 while also maintaining a return team kneel placing the ball at the 25? This would incentivize both teams to produce a touchback, while…

Agreed, at the very least the automatic first down should be awarded on the personal foul portion.

Drew the column is great, but just isn’t the same with without Emmitt Smith’s lock of the week. Emmitt’s hot-cakes on the Greenday Packers, Mindyianapolis Colts, Dinner Broncos, and the Saddle Seahawks were the highlife of my week. Something is Ole-Miss here.

Dude was probably playing Ultimate Team, which creates these dumbass situations.

The seeker would yell this when they gave up looking or their ass was truly kicked. You were a total bitch if you yelled this in our neighborhood.

This is true, you made it to base and that was it. We used to yell “1-2-3 Base on Me” so you could then leave the base (usually someone’s mailbox) and fuck with the seeker. Those were the days.

Exactly, everyone hated being the seeker and it was always the weakest/slowest. The way we used to play the seeker had to tag a hider trying to sneak (run) back to base. The seeker was usually fucked for multiple rounds unless they were a total ass and sat and “base-guarded” (you were fucking despised if you did…

Stadium names are bullshit, but at least the White Sox have Comiskey Park to hold on to. Titans fans get fucking Nissan Stadium - formerly LP Field, The Coliseum, and Adelphia Coliseum. What a rich fucking history. Plus, half the state pronounces Nissan as “Nih-sahn”. At least we have hot chicken....

29 of 31 2016 1st round picks currently under contract signed deals with offset language.

I read the victim’s letter she read at the sentencing and it tore me to pieces. She did not strike me as vindictive (she had indicated she didn’t want Brock to “rot in prison” pre-sentencing), but I imagine this outcome certainly hits this scumbag right where it hurts. Fuck this guy so hard.

Patrick,

Kevin, thanks for taking the time to put this together; sincerely wish more of the “masses” were tuned in to some of the reports generated on this site, especially this one.
