I hope that Piniella has to go to a session where a sensitivity trainer screams at him two inches from his face about learning to use more appropriate words and then kicks dirt at him.

Do you even get paid to write for Rivals? Is that guy giving up anything besides a press credential?

You know how the MLB hive mind occasionally jokes about Fangraphs or Dave Cameron ADDING UP THE WARS as the symbol of terrible baseball analysis? Here's a new Dave Cameron Fangraphs article where he literally adds up the fWARs.

Those projections are hilariously optimistic. Aaron Cook being a positive asset in the year 2013 amongst other things.

Why in the fresh hell does Cameron think he'll post an ERA below 5.00 for the first time since 2009, with probably Demon Dogg, Michael Young, and Ryan Howard all playing defense him? e: And Lannan with 1+ WAR also for the first time since 2009? lmao

Buzz posted:but Gucci men's clothing best represents who I want to be and have become—rocker, edgy, tight, bad boy, hip, stylish, flamboyant, unafraid, raging against the conformity that submerges us into boredom and blandness and the sexless saggy sackcloths that most men walk around in like zombies without the cinematic excitement of engorging flesh.

MourningView posted:41 PAIRS OF LEATHER PANTS Really, there's no difference between 41 pairs of leather pants and 2 pairs of leather pants. One pair? Maybe that's a joke. Two or more is a rotation and anything else is just variations on a theme You know what would've improved The Great Gatsby though

The Prisoner posted:What does a disease millions of Americans struggle with have to do with respect? I meant that the format of the article was an admission regarding his borderline obsessive "problem" with buying expensive clothes, he uses the language of addiction. So my joke, funny or not, was that badass, tell it like it is, profane author Buzz Bissinger is addicted to... clothes. There's a long literary history of tough guy authors being drunks or junkies, but not fashionistas. I do not respect people for being alcoholics nor for compulsive clothes buying. Jesus gently caress.

Lost in his admission to being addicted to clothes, elsewhere in that article:quote:I began to wonder about sex and sexuality and where exactly I fit in in the complex spectrum. I did go into the sexual unknown, and the clothing I began to wear routinely gave me the confidence to do it, to transcend the rigid definitions of sexuality and gender, just as I also know there were the requisite stereotypical snickers. Remember: These words were written by Buzz Bissinger. Also, I failed to notice this the first time but for some reason I decided to look at that cbsphilly gallery again and apparently his nipples are pierced.

If this is an April Fool's joke, it's one hell of a setup. He's been observed dressing in this style and has taken pictorials at least dating back to May 2012. He's a weird guy but poo poo that's his right I guess?

GQ's articles editor tweeted earlier this afternoon:@Devingo913 posted:Blanket tweet, since this is coming up a lot: No, this story is not an early April Fools joke. So, uh, combined with Buzz's own usual sense of self-importance and the fact he pierced his nipples and all kinds of stuff I'm going with no.
