R.D. Mangles posted:I didn't read the article, but the only cursed team is the Cubs. It is silly to claim that Chicago won a world series 7 years ago because the White Sox winning was pretty much the worst thing to happen to Cubs fans. Everyone does forget that until 2005, the White Sox and Cubs had the two longest championship droughts in all of American professional sports (Red Sox fans are infinitely louder).

KG calls Philly fans fair-weathered, Philly journalist replies, 'Well Boston is racist!' http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/deep-sixer/KG-fair-weather-beats-bigotry-any-day.html quote:You think we’re the fair weather type, do you? Ok, to that I say that it’s better to be fair weather than to be anything remotely akin the cretins that unleashed their racist vitriol via Twitter upon Washington Capitals defenseman Joel Ward, a Black hockey player, last month after he eliminated Boston’s Bruins from the NHL playoffs with an overtime goal.

When I think of asses, something comes over me. quote:No one looks better in the rear view than Dontari Poe, the NFL's new gold standard in badonkadonk. At the combine, the 346-pound nose tackle from Memphis made scouts' hearts race after he ran a 4.98 40-yard dash in a pair of impossibly large compression shorts. Instantly, Poe's bouncing, bodacious bubble butt (also referred to in scouting parlance as the shelf, high rear end, assy, great hips, the crevice and the timeless classic "big enough to land airplanes on") turned the usually taciturn fraternity of football scouts into a chatty horde of Sir Mix-a-Lots. http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/8132777/david-fleming-importance-athlete-butt-espn-magazine

Jeff Passan posted:On June 21, the Marlins had lost six of seven games and fallen two games under .500. Loria decided it was an appropriate time to give the team a pep talk. One player there called it "possibly the worst speech I've ever heard." The Marlins lost that day and then four of their next five.

I really liked it, and the design was neat. It's starting to become a trend I'm seeing with websites though, those types of scrolling tricks/designs. Hopefully it doesn't become too played out.

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.

It's interesting that Buzz Bissinger would take an interest in Basketball when he wrote that it is hard for white people to get into the game because of the lack of race representation.

Carlos Ruiz missing an entire month of the season plus Eric Kratz is going to be the third best catching unit in the league. Oh, and every team has a good center fielder. Harlock fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Mar 27, 2013 |

I wonder what Verducci would say regarding the Phillies anemic offense partly due to guys who strike out a lot and don't walk. "Not enough clutch hitters" "Needs more grinders"

I gotta develop some sort of card to give anyone that disparages Joe Mauer. 5th in active players for OBP%, top 50 all time (all positions), 2nd all time catcher (minimum 1000 games). 2nd all time OPS+ catcher (minimum 1000 games), #5 all time wOBA, #4 all time wRC+ for a catcher. Basically the list goes on and on. Harlock fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Apr 24, 2013 |

It's a neat piece and I'm not shocked at all by how scummy the Knicks FO is, but did it really need to acknowledge the ambient music? That's an odd writing style that doesn't really add much to the piece. He's a regular guy who likes adult contemporary?

It actually loads and reads faster than the old ESPN did on my computer, but the design is pretty garbage. There's very little to no flow and your eye is drawn all over the place. Also articles sometimes don't have a complete beginning or end as you can just keep scrolling. Frames all over the place.

Succinct and instant news is what people want with easily digestible takes. Longform journalism and analysis is dead.
