Reminds me of an old favorite: “Dont just DO something. Sit there!”

Died by suicide is a more useful term. Committed suicide likens it to a crime and adds to the misperception suicide is a decision made rationally, which it rarely is, instead of a response to serious mental illness, which it usually is.

Cool, I hear you.

Its a poorly designed tax but just to be clear higher taxes on toxic goods reduces consumption, and less sugar reduces diabetes. It worked with cigarettes. Did you know diabetes is a more deadly disease globally than HIV? That costs us all a ton. People are making crap choices, and soda companies have huge budgets to…

Baseball is almost ALL execution, especially pitching. Outcomes vary tremendously based on minute differences. That the hits were softly hit and the defense made so many blunders are out of the pitcher’s control.

Thank you. He was the go ahead run and he thinks they’re not going to try to pick him off?

1) Wieters the Nats catcher had a dropped 3rd strike on a ball that hit his glove and was easily catchable that led to 2 runs.

So do we know what the win probability impact is if the 3rd out is recorded? I assume that is a bigger shift, and it seems that the difference between the HBP probability and the K probability is the point — the swing in what was likely to happen — not only the impact of a HBP, if you catch my drift.

Has anyone asked flat out if Duke players have any money funneled their way by Duke or 3rd parties? Curious if those who follow NCAA enough to watch whole pressers like this know if this gets asked directly. Seems valuable to get him on record denying it just for future reference.

Maybe giving too much thought to this but could be Silver got pressure from the owners, quietly checked with LeBron for aporoval and made the statement to sound strict while leaving the door wide open to other forms of protest.

So much noise.... But just one single issue here: government violating her freedom of speech.

I get that, you may be right and it could be different for coaches but all his teammates voting him this honor seems like a pretty big signal he is a good teammate and committed to winning. If you have a coach who thinks he is not focused enough on winning, I would ask what that coach thinks about Gronk dancing on…

Any response to MattR?

Awful. Just awful. You have no understanding of civil rights and justice?

Definitely spontaneous. In my kids’ little league it happens all the time. Probably influenced by seeing it in the LLWS but it’s so foreign to those of us who are old enough to coach. We grew up in the culture of “no fraternizing” so I have to admit I am cynical enough to have thought it was “too friendly” at…

Hilarious blowout, not hysterical. Hysterics are what you get into when you flip out. Not funny at all! Hilarious is something that is very, very, very funny. Maybe funny enough to leave you in hysterics. As in the blowout left you, not the blowout itself, hysterical. Do NOT trigger my grammer nerd brain like this…

Love the approach. Are there really that many 6'6"? (How are the Knicks that bad then?) No way 1 in 5 people 6'2" can dunk though. Remove the half who are women, and the other 2.5 maybe one in 20 (exclude anyone over 40, overweight, bad knees, etc,) so more like 1 in 40 at this height or 2.5%? Even less at the shorter…

More people can homer.

Fans take things too personally. This isnt your old boyfriend moving back in! Its a bad team desperate for a spark. If he can recover some ability and maybe get a fresh start on the team he was drafted, great! Maybe he can improve the team for a minimum salary. Can’t believe his “burning bridges” is such a big deal.…

Awesome use of police resources. Can’t have the riches getting tricked out of their nice kicks. I feel safer already!!
