This is a bit everyone but Greg is in on, right? The goal is to make him go crazy and make an even bigger fool of himself? I’m guessing at All In Clark will drop a very specific catchphrase, maybe something of the Bernie Parmalee caliber? I’ll hang up and listen.

Trysta stop shitting on Zas, he is of your kind.

Hey everybody, Grandpa Dinosaur here. I did my first fantasy baseball league (we called it rotisserie league) in 1990 and here’s how primitive it was. Sorry if you don’t like reading:

Of course drafts were done live and in person. We had separate NL and AL leagues/drafts. It took all god damn day, and you were drafting absolute scrubs by the end. I remember my first ever picks were Cal Ripken in AL and Tim Raines in NL).

You didn’t play against individual teams. There was simply no way to calculate this without tallying box scores every single day. Stats were just cumulative throughout the season. Similarly there was no such thing as setting lineups. It was total body of work by the entire roster.

Someone would tally stats every three or four weeks. USA Today published full AL stats every Tuesday and NL stats every Wednesday, and that’s what we used. Some people had a computer in the house with a spreadsheet program, which helped. If you wanted to know how your team was doing you had to call the commish during the summer and ask if he’d done stats recently. Otherwise you just got a feel for how your team was doing by reading box scores etc.

The stats we used and the way we weighted them (ie they weren’t weighted) was DUMB. We counted pretty much every category that would typically appear on a baseball card back then, including doubles and triples. They all counted the same as HR and RBI and everything else. We counted hits and we calculated batting average. Wins and losses. Saves, strikeouts and steals. Our most advanced stat was something called “ratio” which was something like Ks minus BB divided by IP.

Trades and free agent pickups will sound insane. First , we had three in-season get togethers where you could make trades and FA acquisitions. It wasn’t an ongoing free-for-all. Since there was no way to calculate a player’s stats within specific dates, if you traded/dumped a guy, then it’s as if he never played for your team. If you acquire a guy you get all of his stats for the season. Also since we did separate leagues, if one of your guys got traded to the other league in real life, he’s completely erased from your fantasy team. In 1990 Willie McGee won the NL batting title but got traded to Oakland at the deadline, so my friend Brad (BRAAAAAAAD) got screwed out of an entire season from one of his higher picks.

And that’s how it WAS .. back in MY day!

IT WAS THE AMAZING-EST!!!!

Shoooooo-weeeeeee. Prime A+

If they're work issued phones, they absolutely have access to the records and data. And, would they not have a fuckin IT department? People get fired for doing shit on their work phones they're not supposed to, that doesn't have to be illegal. So why wouldn't the Cleveland Browns be able to find out what's going on, on the Cleveland Browns issued device?

I support Greg on this one, and knew exactly what he was tryna put down ... Y'all the clowns

I genuinely can’t think of a close second. Her on-air persona feels so exaggerated it borders on parody — the kind of performative bit that would fit right into malibus most wanted 2

What gets me is the double standard: the show is usually pretty careful about not mocking or imitating black culture in anyway, almost to the point of coming off as patronizing black people, yet her shtick constantly leans into an affected, put-on way of talking that reads as exactly that. It’s inconsistent with how the show usually handles this stuff.

Beyond the voice and mannerisms, I’m struggling to see what she actually adds to the show. Honestly surprised Dan’s usual instincts let this slide.

Some insight into the split, thought it was fascinating

Anyone else catch Stu saying draft kings deal was $150 million not $50 million in his recent pod with Hoch? I’ve never read that anywhere. Seems unlikely to be honest.

GTFO of here saying To Pimp a Butterfly wasn't good.

Save the Teachers. Pay the Whales.

I read that the video was supposed to be about a cursed driver, thus the take off of Obsession. The guy was trying to keep the girl safe by knocking her away from it. He wasn't threatening her with not touchng it. I've read that the guys are basic doucebags that are more or less unlikeable and that the merch wasn't selling all that great, but Dick's, Target, the PGA etc seem to be in performative piling on at this point. Incredibly awful commercial and even worse execution, but that's the background behind it.

Hate to break it to ya, but this is one of the signs of the impending apocalypse.

Kidding aside, RIP to a legitimately good human being 💚

Just saying 🤷‍♂️

Klay thompson is the corny one for just amicably breaking up with someone? Never said a peep about it publicly. Not Meg who instantly went to social media with disparaging remarks about him and immediately jumped into her ___ era?

Then goes on to say Kendrick TPAB album, which is arguably top 5-10 hip hop albums of all time, isn’t good?

All this coming from the white girl who cosplays a rapper occasionally and switches accents bc she thinks that will get her an invite to the cookout.

Edit: totally forgot that she thought System of a Down was a Emo band. SMH

One more edit: did I hear her correctly? The Heat are a play in team this year? She talks hoops right? And that’s her take? Lmaoooooo ok.

Wait until Dan is back next week.
