I'm going to try getting them today on WYC for the Mantle stuff.

Should I even ask what the Mantle stuff is or should I just assume it's something like "He was white and played nearly 50 years ago so he wasn't actually that good."?

Pretty much


Mantle was clocked at 3.1 to first but that just CANT be true.


He's a white man, for crissake

it's one thing to be wrong. It's another thing to state something as authority on something, to state that something could not have happened that did. I feel no remorse "stretching" the concept to include such things.

Both Dan and Terry were on the warpath against Hawk (generally a good idea) who said sometime last week that Mantle was the fastest home to first runner he had ever seen.

Well, that simply can't be true because everyone knows those wang-whipping blacks are superior athletes.

"The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way, because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs and he's bred to be the better athlete because this goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trade...the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid."

Jimmy the Greek said that, but the last part in particular sounds pretty close to what Dan said about wanting to breed Brittney Griner with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (was it Jabbar or someone else?) to get a basketball player.

Hope you get that one in CoF. I was listening when they were giggling like little girls and couldn't get the words" He's wrong, thats just not true. There are ways to measure that now" out of their mouths fast enough when discussing what Hawk said.

I really don't know much about it, but isn't that basically how Pokémon works? Well, that and the "gotta catch 'em all" part, too, I guess ...

I mistakenly stuck around long enough to hear them cheer the death of the Ultimate Warrior.

PTFB shortly after.

For what reason would they cheer his death?

Bad guy.

Why is he a bad guy?

Does it matter? Since when do those 2 assholes need any substantiation to determine if someone they don't like is bad? The fact they don't like him automatically qualifies .

Because Deadspin told him so.

If it comes to a point on the top afternoon sports program in and around the city of Chicago that time is devoted to (apparently)* demonstratively discussing if/why James Hellwig was a fucktard (albeit without having literally the slightest first-hand knowledge either way), it might be time to reconsider how far afield the show has actually gone - and perhaps not in any sort of contemplative, reflective, or celebratory way for that matter.

(* - I'm happily listening to the Cubs game, so I technically could be charged similarly)

Really poor stuff on Pujos...no mention of steroids ...no mention of Bonds after 31 ? Why I ask you, why?

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Ultimate Warrior was a bad guy, but good god, Barry Petchesky is such a tedious carelord, and of course Danny Deadspin has to repeat it all.

If Deadspin broke bad on the little guy I'm pretty sure if would be more heartbreaking than when Darren Rovell asked ESPN 1000 to go steady.

They did break bad on him about three months ago, after he got mad at Derrick Rose for being a dumb black kid.
