We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

Bill James breaks his silence on roids, in the most boring way possible
Bill James put out a 4 page article describing his stance on steroid use in baseball. If you dont feel like reading, he basically makes the argument that all steroid users will eventually make the HOF cause perception will die down, past HOFers will endorse steroid users, and there was no legislation preventing steroid use. Apparently James has a boner for Will Clark too. Where's the love for Mark Grace??
1) I'm sorry that you confuse well though-out, articulate, intelligent arguments as "boring"
ReplyDelete2) Thank you for over-analyzing and under simplifying James' argument completely missing the nuances of what James says.
3) Would his argument be made better if he ripped off his shirt and challenged people to fights?
Sorry, i didnt spend college reading through endless pages of textbooks to find it enjoying. It may be informative, thoughtout, articulate, but it is boring as shit. It was as if a computer wrote in instead of a human. How else should i have summarized his argument in 1 sentence? sheesh
