morestuff posted:From what I understand, Woj is also weirdly aggressive and will e-mail people who disagree with/criticize him on Twitter. I was actually reading the twitters of Zach Lowe and that guy from Sacramento who is now a national reporter whose name I forget and they both got really crusty with random guys on twitter insulting them. It's weird seeing grown men do that.

So ESPN is adding Nate Silver, any thoughts? I'm vaguely familiar with him but have no real opinion.

quote:To start his day, Burke organizes his desk. He then organizes the games he wants to watch on the various monitors. He makes sure his three Mason jars are filled with water so he will not have to leave the room on the account of thirst. He keeps track of Twitter feeds, Deadspin and breaking news on a monitor he has programmed so he can keep abreast of the many things he needs to keep abreast of. Sadly the article doesn't go into detail on the defecation situation. Yeah it really is pretty sad, it reads like he wished on the monkey's paw to be paid to watch sports all day.

Crazy Ted posted:For a cool longer story, check out this Guardian piece on the time one of the original NASL teams decided to spend their entire seven-month offseason playing around the world, with them winding up playing in 26 countries including Cyprus, Pakistan, Burma, and Vietnam during wartime. This is awesome, thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed this article about Chip Kelly: http://grantland.com/features/chip-kelly-philadelphia-eagles-nfl-influence/ Thought I'd post it here since the section on sports science and attitude towards practice is applicable to all sports. I would feel better if I knew that my favorite sportsketball teams were investing in this technology. It mentions that a lot of these ideas originated, for whatever reason, in Australia. Here's an older interview that goes in depth about how one rugby S&C coach uses GPS and heartrate variability to monitor his athletes workloads: http://www.freelapusa.com/strength-and-power-coach-dan-baker-interview/ (scroll down a bit). It's very dry and technical but if that's your kind of thing it's worth a read. chunkles fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Sep 6, 2014 |

That was pretty intense! I liked it. In a somewhat similar vein but much less existential, here's an article about strongman competitions: http://grantland.com/features/worlds-strongest-man-andrew-palmer-seventh-brian-shaw/

morestuff posted:Marc Stein and John Hollinger are/were fine reporters, so I'm not sure what you were looking for They're not as extreme as Woj, but Stein and Amick both fawn over the Mavs and Rockets respectively, I assume for the same reasons.

So did I though, I didn't even question that article before it was corrected. I mean the child in us wants to believe that 3 on 3 basketball at the olympics will happen. Except for the fucker in the comments who complains about dunks and suggests that other, dunkless sports would be better candidates for inclusion.

Rembert Browne is one of the few who can actually suck me into reading that stuff which I normally don't do. I'd hate for him to get sucked up into some giant pop culture website where I'll never read his stuff.

OctoberBlues posted:Every time I read horse racing articles like that, I always think about that old Jerry Seinfeld routine about what's going through a horse's mind after a race. The world's most powerful and successful athlete, dripping with sweat, jogged back to his stable. His adulating fans patted him on his haunches, his jockey and employer hugged him and inhaled deeply from his mane. Upon his bed of hay lounged three mares of the highest breeding. Unfazed, he whinnied, "Fools, I just won the Triple Crown! Bring me my oat bag!" As his hooves pounded upon the dirt in the glare of the sun that afternoon in Elmort, it was not dreams of money or sex that motivated him. Neigh, the world's greatest athlete has always found refuge in the simple pleasure of the oat bag. And so they brought him his Versace oat bag lined with gold trim, and he thought, "oh gently caress yeah, bout to get my OAT on," and he did, chewing through nothing but the finest organic cruelty-free oats that money can buy until his hunger was sated.

As Jason Whitlock once said, learn the rules so you'll know when and how to properly break them. He also said some lucky lady is gonna feel a couple inches of pain tonight so he probably should've taken his own advice. Copernic posted:rough day for people pretending to be black

Simplex posted:I feel like the best part of that exchange is that the 7% of Germans being Nazis isn't really even all that questionable. You take the number of registered members of the Nazi Party divide it by the population, boom, there's a number. How the gently caress you even begin to quantify a percentage of Muslim extremists I have no idea. I believe the foremost scholars agree that image macros are the best place to obtain hard statistics like that, particularly if it's posted by your crazy racist relatives on Facebook along with a schizophrenically capitalized rant.
