And really, alt-right pandering comedy*? Who's crying victimhood now? *gonna confess I've only seen a smattering of TT's sets, but I assume that if he had gone down that road the rest of you would be either slightly more critical or slightly less supportive? Aggro-comedy work better for you? Here's...

I’m sort of with Romero on this one. Portnoy is truly awful but overall I find comparisons between Barstool and right-wing propaganda to be overblown. IMO there are a few incredibly irritating people there and a few legitimately talented people, but most of their contributors are fairly nondescript...

This is gut-wrenching, but so well done. And because everything comes back to Trump/Putin, much of this is about the effects of Russian planes bombing hospitals. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/for-sama/ They’re streaming the whole movie on that site?

I'm torn here because I don't think the waitress (SERVER!) signs up for all that a comedy club might imply just because she works there but on the other hand I don't care get over it. If it happens at a diner, that’s horrible and out of line. From a comic on stage at an open mic? Get over it. Not m...

CO is Chase Headley.

What is up with CO's all time HR hitter at only 130?

Only two players from CO are in the HOF. They're both pitchers.
Gossage and Halliday?

Yes! Don Pardo, tell him what he's won!

I think you should relapse to work on your comedy. Both the traffic and sex trafficking work. It works even better when the waitress was there to see him make fun of her being yelled at by her boss to a roomful of people. That's the stuff. You mean the waitress who works in the comedy club, where c...

I think the other thing going on is the fact Joe Flacco was the most faceless, boring guy to front a team in some time. Jackson is loose, fun to be around. The team has taken on his personality. They're actually fun to watch. Not unlike KC in that regard.

We should probably have a separate "POTUS Is A Fucking Idiot" thread for stuff like this, but still:

Can one gaslight and be a moron?

I’d feel a lot better about the Ravens’ chances to win it all this year if they had a (slightly) better WR corp. Either way, Jackson’s made me a fan of the game again.

Sigh. Mel Ott (appears as the #2 comp for both Sheffield and Robinson).

If you'd instead said "he spent his 22 year career for one team, approximately 1300 miles from his birthplace" I'd have probably pulled my hair out.

EnochRoot

Louisiana. Is it a shit-ton more HR than Albert Belle?

Oh I don't care for that. Kingman was 8.2% for his career, league average for 1972-86 was 8.5%.

He pretty much led the league in strikeouts through my little league years (age 7-12). I should've mentioned Gorman Thomas too, come to think of it.

I think I've got KY. Guy who looks like he'd be from Kentucky as well as the Hank Sauer / Pat Burrell comps means he's going to be Jay Buhner. Who of course is immortalized in the classic Seinfeld episode where Frank Costanza, upon learning of his son's death from George Steinbrenner, unloads on him...

EnochRoot

OR is going to be Dave Kingman. the two outcome guys that stick out to me most are for whatever reason Kingman and Deer.

EnochRoot

And we can write off #3 as bullshit because we know they didn't want him / his contract back. No you can't. If the medical review board sees something that happened at an alternative medicine shop that delayed his return to action, then that's the cause they'd use to void the remainder of his contr...

Only once since Brian Cashman became general manager in 1998 have the Yankees sought to terminate a contract – in 2003, after outfielder Bubba Trammell left the team in June. Trammell later revealed he was suffering from depression. The two sides eventually reached a settlement on the balance of Tr...

I just saw the Peloton ad where the wife/mom posts everything on social media. Even with the sound off that ad can go right to hell. Peleton still pretends the world is only beautifully fit people.

Ellsbury got hurt and the Yankees benefited from his insurance. No one would argue that part. Again, not relevant. When Ellsbury went to a non-sanctioned medical facility to receive treatment from non-sanctioned medical providers he violated the CBA, and when his injuries compounded? He was ripe to...

In lieu of facts you look to history?

History as in Ellsbury's history? Or the Yankees treatment of ARod. Inquiring minds.

Again, we don't know.
