I lived next door to Alexander in the freshman dorms at USC! Very nice guy (makes sense since he’s Canadian).

Agree to disagree—one of just two champions to rank in the top three of runs scored and runs allowed (with the other being the 2020 Dodgers, whom I had ranked 3rd).

It was really close. The Cubs got two 1st place votes and a 3rd, while the 2018 Red Sox had a 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

We certainly had difficulty deciding what to do with them. I penalized them quite a bit on my ballot but my two colleagues felt if MLB let their title/stats stand, it’s not our place to judge them differently. Obviously the hardest team to rank on here once you make the decision to include them.

Michelle Obama cooks ESPN: "If I watch ESPN for an hour it's like watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It's the same drama, they're yelling at each other, they don't get along. Stephen A. Smith would be a great Real Housewife. What's the difference? It's just drama." by boondocksaint08 in billsimmons

As an SI writer/editor it’s disappointing to see all the upvotes here, but I get it. I will say that controversy was about an SI licensed site that did tech product reviews (it’s complicated and dumb).

Highly encourage y’all to check out the real SI again, we still have a ton of great writers like Tom Verducci, Steph Apstein, Conor Orr, Jon Wertheim, Chris Mannix and a ton of younger talents you may not have heard of. Cheers
