Understandable to mistake that guy for a vampire.

“This generally isn’t intentional or malicious, just a reality of an industry where coaches and front office types and reporters have longer careers than players.”

I’m no expert, but if Jimmy is a work of art I’m pretty sure he’s this Jeff Koons piece, described by art critic Yves Michaud as “11 colorful anuses mounted on rods.” 

Retire? What on God’s green earth can that man do in civilized society other than coach football or live out the closing scene of Apocalypse Now?

The rule is less than two out and 1B occupied. 2B can be empty. The reason is as you said to prevent an easy double play, which only requires one base runner.

This I-got-mine-ism is too much. Tired of super rich people being the total focus of sports arts politics business and acting like they are there because they are special/harder working/sacrificed more. If LeBron was born 30 years earlier he would need a second career to buy the house he lives in. If he was born in…

Why though? Standing up for democracy is just about the easiest and most basic statement you can take in a free society. LeBron was not in the slightest danger and he simple caved to a government that would never have allowed him to become LeBron James if they had their way. It is extremely disappointing and cowardly…

Key word is “solely.”

And LeBron right on cue with a disastrously authoritarian statement blaming Daryl Morey tonight.

Why every single GM isn’t tweeting out “I support democracy and the HK protestors” right now is beyond me.

Old school on this one and proud of it, son. Love the shift, love Baez and bat flips, but no thanks on managing solely by computer printout and there are three trophies sitting in SF that agree with me.

I like to say it was a make up call, but I don’t believe it was a make up call.

It was an incredible read and a laser throw. At first it looked like Lemahieu was crazy to try to score but on replay it was a good risk to win the game with Verlander so unhittable and Correia just came up huge. 

Lost in the great ending is Hinch taking Verlander out when he was at 105 pitches. They had just run the stat that hitters averaged go down the 3rd time they face him and then he walks a guy and gets yanked in a must-win game.

The fair catch kick is a rule at the professional and high school levels of American football that allows a team that has just made a fair catch to attempt a free kick^[A]from the spot of the catch. The kick must be either a place kick or a drop kick, and if it passes over the crossbar and between the goalposts of the…

Thank God and Penn State their amateur status was protected. It's a razor's edge. Another disaster averted.

Especially awesome is the banner looks like a bad photoshop job. Cross post this to the Onion!

Utterly confused by this article. Here’s the rule per wikipedia:

I’m with you on that. It's the NBA's headache and they're groveling to make money in China, not Kerr.
