Now watch this, Pat, up here, here's a guy who thinks I went straight to NBC from CBS and forgot about Fox and ABC. Now watch, he's gotta go back and get it right, but now he left a big credibility gap for those big ol' CFMB guys to get through. Boom! 90% of blogging is half-mental.

When he says "where he became aware of the phenomena and character that made him so beloved that he played into it more and more," I can't tell which network he's referring to: CBS, NBC, or the one he probably meant, which is Fox. No one edits this shit.

Elements of the Russia-Ukraine response are borderline fascist and have substantial support. I’m not sure most people know fascist as anything other than an insult.

Sam Fels took a real stand on toxic masculinity by calling out this guy:

Clearly the poster child for being a meathead bully.

It's very strange to understand one's own self-worth only via standing in judgment of others.

You know, Young Sam's dad was a writer for Billiards Digest. Over the course of his career George Fels interviewed and/or wrote about more than a few guys who I know personally. I'm going to say with abundant confidence that many- if not most- of those men are/were worse human beings than Adam Carolla, Tony LaRussa, or Patrick Kane. Did that make George Fels toxic?

Adam Carolla is an evil fascist who can't even be platformed. Career criminal George Floyd is a great American hero who deserves a state funeral. It's better to be a violent criminal than to have the wrong politics.

It's really disgusting when you think about it. These people like to say, "Political Correctness is just being polite." No, that isn't what it is at all. It's a platform for you to stand on and look down on others. Hate has no home here until I want to call someone a fascist.

Tanking in baseball is bad. Unless it's Theo. In the NBA tanking is called "the process". And it's genius.

So let’s remove the minors. Let’s remove the idea of a rebuild entirely. Let’s remove prospects. Every minor league team is now independent. Every league is an independent one. MLB teams get their 40-man roster and that’s it. Wanna throw promotion and relegation into it? Cool. Leading high school players can sign with any of the 120 teams that pay them a decent wage (not like MLB owners do). If they crush it in Round Rock, well, then an MLB team can pay that team $20 million or $50 million for his contract and fund their operation for the next year or three. You don’t want to pay your star catcher who’s given you everything for seven seasons? Fine, but you’ll have to pony up for someone to replace him because you can’t trade him for the false dawn of what might happen in five years with some magic beans in the form of a centerfielder who needs to spend eight months in a weight room.

Yeah, I’ve heard, these teams can’t survive without their MLB affiliations.

Bullshit.

If they’re such great baseball towns, then people should come out to see a team actually built to win its league instead of in service to a team in a bigger city. Lighting it up your freshman year of college? Sign with a Double-A level team and keep working your way up.

Here's avowed socialist Sam Fels arguing that we should Let The Free Market Decide the fate of minor league baseball markets, i.e., they should fold, because they're just hillrods in Colorado Springs who would probably vote for Donald Trump.

You know what's a great baseball town you'd probably never realize? Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Isotopes (yep, from the Simpsons) are constantly packed. Great experience, affordable, and they do all kinds of wild promo nights - where they become the Mariachis de Nuevo Mexico (the logo is seriously one of the best ever) or the Green Chile Cheeseburgers. Recommend 10/10 if anyone ever comes out here.

Also, fuck Sam Fels and Deadspin in general. 99 percent of those articles are pandering tripe-ish word salads.

those deadspin writers are all a bunch of crybaby cowards. they dont even allow comments on their articles because the majority of them would get torn apart for shitty takes and poor writing. and for just generally being assclowns
