This guy is a well known NFL writer for a large publication. And we're just gonna skate past it cuz who even cares anymore. If you did this at your company to anyone in person you'd at minimum get hauled in to HR

Can't really get over this one, this is just straight up antisemitism. You can hate Chuck Schumer all you want, think he's a dweeb, not fit for the moment, needs to be run out of town, etc. He put out a lackluster statement on ICE and your response was just to point at him and call him a Jew!

The history of the civil rights movement in the US is pretty tied up with Jewish Zionism and liberation, and to say that every black person should be antizionist on principle is ahistorical and belittling to those who fought for liberation for both peoples

Discovering this album and then them putting out Stadium Arcadium in the same year I think caused my parents to swear off RHCP forever. I played nothing but those two albums for at least 6 months

Keep doing it, it always makes me think "huh, good for her, I should definitely do that." And to be clear, I don't do that, but it makes me think it for a few seconds!

Do you think he'd crash out if people started responding to his obvious sci-fi boner bullshit with questions about how all the stories actually went? "Mr. Musk, you want to build a space empire that spans the galaxy. Would that not simply devolve into total barbarism as Hari Seldon predicted?"

No doubt, and seemingly tending the wrong way. So maybe a one year deal was always going to be in the cards. But I'm a big dummy and just can't get batting average and SO% out of my head as fun stats. He's a career 317 hitter and still hit 292 last year, it just feels like there's something there.

He had a ~3% strikeout rate last year. That's insane. But he never walks, doesn't hit home runs, and can't really play defense. Again, yea I get it, flawed player, but 30 of the smartest baseball minds in the world can't figure out where to put this guy to maximize value?

I just think Arraez is one of the most fascinating players in baseball right now. Yea yea, AVG tells an incomplete story of a hitter, but this guy has three batting titles within the last four years. And as Mike highlights, is apparently just being used wrong for his one godlike skill?
5) It's still kind of incomprehensible Arraez is hitting this high. He hit 2nd most of the year, and:
SD #2 hitters were ..
-tied-last in runs scored -29th in runs driven in -27th in OBP -29th in run value
I don't get it

Ben Onion has always been a weirdo, but he appears to have really pickled his brains after buying a large media company and tweaking it to produce content he personally wanted to see. Many such cases.

It is the structure though is it not? With a 10-470 contract, that's 47mil going out to Ohtani each year. With the current one it's only 2mil going out but it counts as 47 against the luxury tax because of weird accounting. Or am I misunderstanding?
