Here’s why WAR is a stupid Stat. How does Brett Gardner have a higher WAR than Don Mattingly, an MVP and borderline HOFer?
Oh, you were having a good day, were you? It would be a shame if someone showed you… this

So god gives human beings free will, in Catholicism But when you’re a kid you’re basically being forced by your parents to go to church, be baptized, get communion, and be confirmed That’s not free will, if you ask me parents who do that are the ones committing a sin.

Chat GBT is wrong, Mike Milbury did a wonderful job with running the New York Islanders. The world including the NHL was better when he was running the Islanders.

Probably the greatest athlete I’ve ever seen play.
Have you ever just looked up Crosby stats? This is insane. I was in Jr high, and he was putting up 100+ points and then jump to 2019, and he's still at 100 points. Holy

For the love of god Isle fans remember this time last year when you guys got off to a hot start and you guys were pumping your chest like you won the Stanley Cup.
Pete DeBoer gets paid top 5 money in the NHL among Head Coaches. The PK and PP look miles better, as does this team’s defensive structure. As well as the veterans who we saw struggle last season. Give him a raise, he should be TOP 1. #Isles

You know what credit to him for coming to our side. 🇺🇸
🇺🇸 In 1944, a man named Hitler joined the US Navy. Adolf Hitler’s nephew. Years earlier, he had gone to Nazi Germany hoping his family name would open doors. William Patrick Hitler was born in Liverpool on March 12, 1911. His father, Alois Hitler Jr., was Adolf’s half-brother. His mother, Bridget Dowling, was Irish. In 1933, with his uncle newly in power, William moved to Germany to seek his fortune. He found work in banking and the automobile industry. But the opportunities never matched his expectations, and his relationship with his uncle deteriorated. Before “Hitler” became a name he wanted to escape, it had been a name he hoped to exploit. In 1939, William and his mother traveled to the United States for a lecture tour arranged at the invitation of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. That same year, Look magazine published his article: “Why I Hate My Uncle.” Then the war transformed his family dispute into something much larger. On March 3, 1942, William wrote to President Franklin D. Roosevelt asking to serve in the American armed forces. His name demanded scrutiny. His case went to the FBI, whose investigation found no subversive activity. In March 1944, with newsreel cameras watching, William Patrick Hitler entered the U.S. Navy. The dictator’s nephew was now wearing the uniform of a country fighting his uncle’s regime. His enlistment is remarkable enough without adding uncertain stories of battlefield exploits. After the war, William chose a different life, and a different name. As William Patrick Stuart-Houston, he settled on Long Island, raised a family, and worked in medical laboratory testing. He died in 1987. Follow @Vanguard_WW2 for more overlooked stories of World War II.

I have a buddy of mine on here who can’t stand Slats, but my gosh he lives the good life these days.

98-50 as an NFL HC He made the playoffs this season before the bills drafted Josh Allen.
Like it or hate it, this is my prediction:

Good for Sanchez, he eclipse the 10 year service time I believe this year. If anybody told you, you would win a World Series and eclipse the 10 year mark in baseball everybody would sign up for that.
GARY SANCHEZ IS A WORLD SERIES CHAMPION!!! 🦑🦑🦑

I wouldn’t call the guy a fat slob, you can call him diva that’s a better word.
Just what we need a fat slob 1B who refuses to be pinch run for or make it work with Alex "fucking" Bregman who clearly made the Red Sox a better team. I hope Devers rots in San Francisco & never makes the playoffs for the rest of his life.

Honestly, if you value a rod and his career earnings versus what guys earned today, he was underpaid.
Alex Rodriguez says that after he retired, his income fell about 90%, from $30,000,000 a year to $3,000,000. In 2018, he was still paying his ex-wife roughly $155,000 a month in spousal and child support, and he went to court to cut it. In the video below, he talks about what that kind of money did to him long before the bills came due. He signed a $252,000,000 contract at 25, the richest deal in sports at the time. He says success that early shrinks your self-awareness and grows your ego, and he didn’t have the tools to handle it. He and Cynthia Scurtis divorced in 2008. A decade later, he argued she now had a new fiancé, 3 homes and millions in the bank. He reportedly offered $20,000 a month for their 2 daughters. She reportedly wanted $50,000. Then her brother came after him too. Constantine Scurtis, his former real estate partner, sued him for $50,000,000, claiming Rodriguez cut him out of the business they built together. Rodriguez countersued, saying Scurtis took $1,400,000 from the partnership without permission. Rodriguez says he has now been in therapy for more than 10 years, and that it saved his life. When a fortune comes this early, is the biggest risk spending it, or the people who expect a share of it later?

This is absolutely disgusting and deeply disrespectful to them and the thousands of other innocent lives lost that day. This individual needs to be caught and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. 2/2

Earlier today, the 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero in Manhattan was defaced with graffiti. I wear on my wrist the names of over a hundred friends and colleagues who lost their lives in the attacks twenty five years ago. 1/2

No Kevin O’Connell is a good coach.
Bucs regret letting Liam Coen walk to keep Todd Bowles Falcons regret letting Kyle Shanahan walk to keep Dan Quinn Ravens regret letting Mike MacDonald walk to keep John Harbaugh Should the Vikings fire Kevin O’Connell to keep Brian Flores?

The Mets should give him the $500M
Jim Bowden projects Tarik Skubal could land a contract worth anywhere from $350M to $500M this offseason His three best team fits: New York Mets Los Angeles Dodgers Chicago White Sox Skubal on the Southside would be INSANE 🍿👀

Imagine if the Jets hired Eric Mangini as the HC after this season, he was the guy who was supposed to be the 15-20 year HC.
