First ballot HOF. This is my favorite TO moment. Love the radio call too.

Late, but get porked

/Rice fumbled

No

Here’s one set of career rankings (not by me) after 2008 that had Owens 4th on the receiver list. The methodology he used may be different than what I would do slightly, but the point, again, is not to get bogged down into the specific baseline, but to say it can be done, for every year.

Then, you can also consider other factors (quarterbacks, quality of teammates, attitude, etc) to make adjustments mentally in how you assess players.

Maybe the prospective free agent’s whore wife shouldn’t have mentioned she liked getting spit on. Fucking whore.

This is how this is properly dealt with, other Yankees fans.

Maybe the prospective free agent’s whore wife shouldn’t have mentioned she liked getting spit on. Fucking whore

Perhaps her response was “spit” instead of “swallow”. Too bad for her

If you punched that guy from The Office in the face I’m OK with that, SC. But it makes me sad to see anyone turn to Yankees while also claiming fanhood for a different team

Cubs fan. Yankee supporter. Happy?

entirely too much spitting in porno these days.

Maybe next time the Yankees fans shouldn’t spit on a prospective free agent’s wife.

Maybe the prospective free agent’s whore wife shouldn’t have mentioned she liked getting spit on. Fucking whore.

The purpose of this article wasn’t to lay out the specific statistical case that Terrell Owens is a Hall of Famer (I think he is, btw), but to say that the information to make the statistical comparison portion of that judgment is there. Len and others on the HOF selectors keep saying this crap about how they cant distinguish the wide receivers now because passing numbers have increased dramatically. The numbers exist to compare the passing environments of 1995 to 2005 to 1975.

No where did I say whether I thought Burroughs was better than Owens for that one season, I just said that the information is available for comparison. It was an example. You can do percentages, straight yard diffs, Z-scores, whatever. But whatever method I choose, I can compare Owens versus Driver.

My point wasn’t to do the work, but to say everything you need is available now, and these guys need to stop acting like they can’t make the comparisons.

How did they compare Don Hutson and Elroy Hirsch to Lance Alworth to Steve Largent? The game was vastly different in each of those eras yet they were able to make decisions, unlike now.

Pedroia’s AL MVP from 2nd base

That MVP was stolen from Justin Morneau. They were merely punishing Morneau for taking Jeter’s in 2006.

No, in a “Man of the People” sort of way. Calvert Edwin Ripken, Jr is the kind of all encompassing personality that makes us all realize how small our contributions to society really are. That’s why his visage is being carved into Mount Rushmore

i would say more so in a “he’s walking out of your house with a smile on his face when you return from work to see your wife” sort of way.

so when an NL plays them in their park

But our pitchers’ feet explode when the run the bases!

OK, a sober and honest question for the Yankees fans around here. Are you guys OK with SC claiming Yankee fandom?

Alec Baldwin and I met at the Carnegie Deli and hashed it out. He’s the captain of Yankee Fandom and said as long as I bow at the Altar of Jeter on Sundays that I’m all good.
