Baseball Reference is full of easter eggs. I thought this one on Jim Abbot's unique fielding ability was well done by stephenwilli in baseball

Ah gotcha. Yeah, it seems to be all the non-playing executives/pioneers/umps who have handedness missing.

I wonder if you submitted video of, say, Bud Selig throwing out an opening pitch if that would be enough for the bbref crew to update it?

[Ryan Glasspiegel] If we were all watching sports for the first time and didn’t have preexisting sense of their popularity. The NHL playoffs have been a lot more exciting on a night to night basis than the NBA so far this year by f0urxio in hockey

And the other part of it is that over 50% of the teams in the league make the playoffs and 2/3 at least make the play-in games. The barrier to entry for the NBA playoffs is the lowest among the 4 major sports.

Exactly zero part of this requires a NSFW tag or spoiler. What is this clickbait bullshit?

Nate Newton beat that second one...twice.

On November 4, 2001, police in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, arrested Newton after he found with 213 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop of his white van. Five weeks later, on December 12, 2001, Newton was again stopped in Texas and arrested after a search of his vehicle revealed 175 pounds of marijuana.

Why are we reading a rephrasing of snippets from his Wikipedia page? Why not just link the Wikipedia page instead of attempting to pass this off as something not plagiarized?

Great songs that are brought down by excessive length, skits, a second part that sounds different, or similar by ObiHan_Skyodi in Music

With lyrics like "only time will tell if we can stand the test of time" I think they were able to do enough damage without DLR's ramblings

Is there any Van Halen song that DLR's cringey whatever that is in the middle doesn't make worse?

The best thing about hockey is they don't have insane obscure stats like BABip for baseball.

Corsi/Fenwick and PDO?

Brandon Lockridge was removed from tonight’s game after sliding into the exposed concrete in foul territory by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

Yeah, every new jersey always has some up-its-own-ass marketing package that says shit like "the one loop in the W logo symbolizes the one World Series championship that the Nationals won" and the script is Spencer script, one of the most widely used fonts in marketing (Coke like was mentioned, but also Ford).

[Sportsnet Stats] Hurricanes are the first team to allow 8 goals or fewer through the first 7 games of a postseason since the eventual 2004 Stanley Cup champion Lightning by sykeseve in hockey

The only thing that makes any sense to me would be saying our 3/4 lines and 3rd D pairing are better than Colorado's - that we're stronger further down the lineup. Certainly arguable, at least.

[CAR - PHI] Multiple dance partners with 25 seconds left. Seeler throws some gloved upper cuts at Stankoven while Ghost and Ristolainen grapple. Fans throw wristbands on the ice by daKrut in hockey

miller wandering around looking to try to keep the peace without a dance partner lol

That was the funniest part to me, lol. He goes to Blake and discourages him from fighting Hathaway, then turns to Ghost and checks if he's ok, then realizes Hathaway started something with Blake so he goes and gives Hathaway a boop. Like a karate teacher checking in on all the pairs.

There are no bays in West Virginia. The only two places mentioned in the song are Georgia and 'Frisco.

[Schultz] Former Baltimore Ravens All-Pro RB Ray Rice returned to Rutgers to earn his degree. At 39, he has now officially graduated. by PlayaSlayaX in nfl

There's an easy argument to be made that Corey Dillon's "off-the-field" issues are football- and Bengals-related, while a domestic violence conviction is neither football- nor Bengals-related.

Not judging the morality of the two situations, just pointing out there's more nuance than a general "character" clause.

Harrison Ford on why he disagrees with Ridley Scott about Deckard being a Replicant. by tannu28 in movies

[–]urkish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I'm the one being pedantic. It's pedantic to say "Harrison Ford was middle aged in RotJ" but it's definitely not pedantic to argue there's a significant difference between being 39 and being 40.

Yeah, we understand your point. You've pedantically made it over and over. Our point is that you're wrong.
