Bigass Moth posted:I know but looking back in history there aren't many 3000 hit guys who were in their prime except for maybe Pete Rose and Ty Cobb so it is still a big deal. Especially for a True Yankee. God, I hate that last bit. Player X approaches extremely rare milestone - "He's almost there, good for him  "Yankee approaches extremely rare milestone - "OH MY GOD WE'LL NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT  "e: i mean, it's true but come on this is a pretty cool thing happening

Badfinger posted:And also the weird air of reporting where people are more focused on Paterno than on Sandusky. It may shock some people to learn that Joe Paterno is not, in fact, a child molester. Guilt through inaction is still guilt, hth. He himself is not a child molester but he kept around a dude who was, and usually when someone has multiple accusations of molestation levied at him it's a smart idea to distance yourself from him. Penn State as a whole isn't really smelling like roses after this, but Paterno needs to realize that what he did was awful, but inexcusable in every sense of the word.

Holocausplay posted:I agree that making a sign is not an invitation to be harassed, and assuming such is unreasonable, but, by the same token, publishing a person's name is not a call to harass them, and it's just as much of a leap to impute that motive to them. (If we wanted to stop dumbshit from being done with content from the internet, we'd have to shut down the internet. We can't even have a decently democratized encyclopedia without retards filling it with anime, Ron Paul facts or Ty Pepper shooting himself in the anus.) Anyway, there are anywhere from 69 to 420 reasons to post the girl's name, but it would take me over 9,000 seconds to explain them all, so just take one: lo, though they may not post alongside the denizens of SAS or share the rarified tastes of a Bob Costas, there are thousands of squalid, rutting proles in these United States who were curious about that memorable sign; they will click on even the most fleeting and insignificant information about it, and those clicks create money, which can be used to obtain goods and services. It's crass and materialistic and of almost zero informational substance, but if we wanted to put a stop to that, that would be another reason to shut down the entire internet, dynamite every local news station, set fire to every Features desk in America, remove the infographic as a phenomenon, end the national nightly news ten minutes earlier, get rid of cable news entirely, and on and on. I can sympathize with disdaining the profit motive, but aside from that, the act of printing that information is morally null, and any commentary about sexual politics or advocacy of terroristic threats online is little more than begging. Yeah, but usually one consents to something like this. This was unsolicited, totally loving unwarranted, and when you have a ethics history of "questionable" ethics like Deadspin does, you're left thinking that they probably did it because they're huge loving dicks. If anything, the people responsible for publishing this should suffer the same fate. Real journalists (read: people with even a shred of moral fiber) don't pointlessly make spectacles of ENTIRELY private figures with no other reason or substance besides "hey guys dumb bitch make sign and dumb bitch has facebook!!!!!". What Deadspin did served nobody but their hit counter and the misogynist egos of their userbase and the people in charge.

Cashman has been separated from his wife since 2009 so who he fucks is his own business and A.J. Daulerio is pretty much the worst.

So, Sports on Earth. Crion's stuff I love, but goddamn if this isn't a dumb article: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/47382842/ Haha, he got rejected by AJ, miss-spelled Mike McKenry's name, and generally lacked a point

This is totally unrelated to the discussion at hand, but I feel like it merits saying that Crion might be my favorite sports journalist. Unironically. Every article is thoughtful + well written + also funny. Good on you, sir.
