hcreight posted:He literally thinks this is how WAR works. quote:Well, here's what I think of WAR: As dreadful a year as the Red Sox had, they were 47-43 before David Ortiz got hurt on July 16. They were 22-50 without him in the second half. Ergo, for the Red Sox to be four games above .500, in that stretch, their replacement designated hitters would have had to come up 16 more wins than they did. Can someone explain his math to me? 22-50 = 72 games so .500 would be 36-36 right?

Today on First Take Stephen A Smith said this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZEGv7RtfCI ” … Kobe Bryant is going to miss it because, ‘my foot is sprained?’ Are you crazy, Nigga please.” However ESPN is "looking into it" and pondering whether to suspend him. Reminder that they suspended that one guy a month for saying chink in his armor in a story about Jeremy Lin. As with any race in sports topic Jason Whitlock is threatening to "go off the reservation" if they don't clear this up.

After 9/11 there was a big tut tutting article in the Scorecard section of SI about phrases we shouldn't use anymore like Twin Towers for David Robinson and Tim Duncan.

Anals of History posted:Not journalism per se, but Pete Thamel tweeted a two year-old story he wrote about Kevin Ware's illegal recruitment by UCF while Ware was still writhing in pain on the hardwood. It was a cynical grab for clicks and attention at the worst possible moment. Then Clay Travis tried to defend it and showing the injury video.

Badfinger posted:I feel like that was way more Wilbon than Kornheiser, but maybe that's just me. The ESPN book goes into detail with Tony saying he probably shouldn't have done it but shockingly Bill Simmons saying Mike Tirico was so jealous that he hosed Tony over by never laughing at his jokes.

Ironic that in Those Guys Have All The Fun ESPN execs said when Fox Sports launched in early 90s that they wouldn't succeed because they hired Olbermann and he was a pain in the rear end.
