    What a strangely exciting 9th inning coming up.

    2023 World Baseball Classic

    So Cuba would advance and then it would be super tight between Italy and the Netherlands it looks like?

    2023 NBA All Star Weekend Game Thread

    It sounded like they killed his audio at the end, I was trying to figure out what he said.

    2/8 Embiid and Harden at the Garden

    Our two starters put up 4 points so naturally we are up.

    Alex Cora-- what do we have here? Perhaps the best manager in baseball.

    The problem is we need to get a couple of guys on base to sink some 3-pointers. That's how you compete in today's MLB.

    Tompa Bay: Tom Tom club

    Absolutely nothing to substantiate this but I wonder if Brady looks back at Hernandez and thinks he saw the situation was bad news and didn't do anything about it. He obviously wants to play with Brown for his own benefit but he also seems to have tried hard to help him just for the sake of...

    Goodbye Gruden and ongoing Snyder investigation discussion

    Ouch. We played and mostly lost against them a bunch in the early 2000's, the team always seemed to echo his classy and professional behavior. When we actually pulled a tie off against them he was congratulatory and would always give me some tips on how he thought we should adjust things...

    Goodbye Gruden and ongoing Snyder investigation discussion

    Was Gardner the coach that far back? I coached against him and I would be shocked if he let that kind of thing go on.

    Goodbye Gruden and ongoing Snyder investigation discussion

    Lord of the Flies definitely captured the darkness tweens-teens are capable of. When incidents of hazing have popped up at my school it hasn't been tradition, it's more like a seed is planted by some adult (parent, coach, uncle) and the culture/atmosphere/leadership hasn't been strong enough to...

    Goodbye Gruden and ongoing Snyder investigation discussion

    I'm sure I have students in my class every year who don't learn that term because there is a lot of history. I talk about it but I focus more on the big idea, so people pick up those kinds of details or they don't. I think sometimes people use some specific event or term as a "gotcha" like "WHY...

    Goodbye Gruden and ongoing Snyder investigation discussion

    Did you learn about poll taxes, or even just the general idea that the southern states used laws to disenfranchise Black voters after reconstruction? If so then not learning that one technique isn't really a big deal (you can only teach so much history) but if you never learned about the whole...

    Goodbye Gruden and ongoing Snyder investigation discussion

    The grandma example makes me think of something else. So my dad had Alzheimer's and the last few years I would take him out to breakfast and to be around people every Sunday (he was an extreme extrovert.) He was a very progressive guy for his time but understandable was not really aware I'd...

    Goodbye Gruden and ongoing Snyder investigation discussion

    I played a lot of paper football in English class, but I can say at the public high school I graduated from in 95, and have taught at since 2000 every history teacher teaches about this during reconstruction. We also have always taught about the truth or Columbus, so even though I know it's true...

    Ties, ties, everywhere are ties?

    So I searched but can't find it, what would they do if there was a FIVE way tie for the wildcard?

    MLB Marketing (add it to the game-ruining list)

    Oh those will definitely get sold and worn.... by kids whose mom's have to do their back to school shopping at the JC Penney discount racks. There may even be people who end up owning one of each for the low low price of 4.99.

    Oh right, that makes sense. It was bugging me that it wasn't being mentioned when I read about it, thanks.

    2021 All-Star Game Rosters

    So Ohtani is picked as a hitter and a pitcher.... but how does that work? If they let him hit they would lose the DH correct? Do they make an exception for him? Am I just missing something about the rule?

    Ongoing COVID-19 Impact

    Even better would be like how the NHL signs a local goalie to fill in from the city. Some college quarterback who washed out of training camp five years ago, and they just give him a small game check. Obviously this is a terrible strategy, but it would be high level entertainment.
