That’s true, there are certain demographics where it’s not so much the power issue as it is other things. If we are going to focus on the university demographic, then oh hell yeah bragging rights and insecurity are HUGE factors. Laziness? Maybe..it’s hard to say, when you can’t use inebriation as an excuse. In some…

That’s terrible, and I’m truly sorry. Because of his mistakes, you’re a better person than he could ever be.

Ignorance was bliss...I think I’ll just stick to literature.

Whoops, sorry! I meant to reply to Fart and Smunny; didn’t mean to come off as sarcastic to your more heartfelt post

2016 sucks a fat, veiny one. Is this what it’s like when you’re about to hit 30??!! Does everything that ever meant something to you (as far as pop culture goes) either get ripped away, ripped in half, or very poorly ripped off?!?! First we lose Bowie..only to be followed shortly after by Prince, apparently aided by a…

In no way do I have a professional opinion about this, but I HAVE watched a lot of Law & Order: SVU =P

Just gathering from what I have read over the years, I would venture to say their motivation comes from a desire to have absolute control/power over another individual. I’m sure there are cases where the guy has…

I think Baylor deserves some Penn State-level sanctions; clearly, a ‘culture of winning’ took precedence over the well-being of anyone else in these cases of sexual abuse, as well.

Haha yeah I guess I did, he was definitely on Boston...but he was friends with my uncle and he got us Dodger tickets back in the day, so I guess on a personal level I associated him with LA in the 90s..

The Wonder Years of baseball for me too! Originally from Anaheim area, I attended a few Dodger games as a kid from the early-to-mid 90s before ending up in Seattle. My uncle was good friends with Nomar Garciaparra, so I got to meet him and Mike Piazza. Still have his autographed baseball =)

I winced when we signed Cano to a similar deal...full-on screamed at the TV, Eric Cartman style: ‘FOR FUCK’S SAKE HE’S COVERED IN YANKEE JIZZ AND LOOK AT THE ANGELS WITH PUJOLS AND HAMILTONS’ LONG-TERM DEALS OH GODDAMMIT SEATTLE!!!”
...but Robbie has come around the last few seasons. I stand corrected; I’m glad I was…

My memory is a bit foggy, but I’m pretty sure I cracked open a cold one when I read of his signing that big-ass contract with the Angels of Anaheim... god that was hilarious

Get ready for it: Hideo Nomo.

As a Seattle resident and Mariners fan, I cannot star this comment.

I think I’ll feel the same way I did as when I walked out of the theater after watching “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”...WHYYY, HOLLYWOOD?!!!..HOW COULD YOUUU?!!

Exactly! That was the joke. I thought I had gone crazy when I heard his name on a roster again during a Mariners game (LA to Seattle transplant)...I was like ‘Holy crap, how old is this guy?! I remember playing him in video games as a kid!’...yeah, it’s his freaking kid..

Some other names to open the ducts:
Orel Hersheiser, Raul Mondesi, Raul Martinez, Nomar Garciaparra, Mike Piazza, Eric Karros, Jose Offerman, Chan Ho Park...

If he gets traded for Delino DeShields, I will scream.

I forgot how much I love watching Brett Favre lose. Thank you for this.

I played fastpitch to the college level, and throughout the years we often crossed paths or shared spaces/facilities with the baseball boys. We had fun rivalries and prank wars, and crashed each others’ team parties in college... so I’ve met a lot of baseball players in my day... in my experience, about 50-60% of them…
