Ted Williams actually sat out and got dinged up quite a bit in the middle/end stages of his career

The only thing that could stop Ted Williams from playing baseball was an uncontrollable urge to shoot down Nazis :911:

 All the change did was make my Firefox freeze for about thirty seconds before any Gawker/Deadspin/etc. page loaded.

 Grantland is reviewing anime video games now. Take that for what it's worth.

A friend recently told me Cam Newton didn't deserve rookie of the year because he didn't "lead enough fourth quarter drives." Weirdly enough, his pick wasn't Tebow either.

Was his choice Andy Dalton? He's the darling of the JWG school of thought among rookies since this was Tebow's second year.

noted alarmist Howard Bryant clearly understands sample size. even if the basic point of the article is true - teams inevitably rebuild - it's a kneejerk piece coming off the heels of what he thinks is an absolutely soul-crushing, team-destroying defeat to Mike Napoli

I haven't slept much and I read "alarmist" as "alchemist" and then I thought about how much cooler that article would have been.

Yeah, I'm certain the college football games on FX will be moving to FS1, but the rights to the playoff games are secured by ESPN until 2026, so they'll be in control of the big games for quite some time. Would be cool to see it on Fox, though.

Fox was pretty terrible when they had the BCS though. gently caress Thom Brennaman forever.

I'd love to see NBCSN have him and Patrick host a Faux-Sportscenter show on the network.

But yeah, just Keith? Eh, not really.

I thought the gimmick of NBCSN's highlights show was that there was no host saying dumb poo poo over the highlights. I haven't seen it because I don't get the channel anymore, but the advertising made it look like the Premier League Review Show that they show on FSN sometimes where it's just a series of clips with the original commentary.

Have you seen the British drama Dream Team, which follows the trials and tribulations of Harchester United Football Club?

 I had to stop reading the 22 goals articles. I like the idea and the stories are compelling, but Phillips has some tendencies that I find annoying and over the course of that many articles at that length they really shine through.
