What can I tell you?

My favorite thing I've written recently (say, last two months?) was this piece on Rob Dibble's misogynist comments and his "apology."

I was going to say something about the piece currently on top of this page on a Minneapolis sports radio station's site ranting about pitch counts, but The Common Man and Craig beat me to it. And some of the comments below Craig's are pretty (mostly unintentnionally) hilarious.

What does a governor have to do to get thrown in jail for a really long time around here?

I get really sick of the Favre coverage, like almost everybody, and what appears to be happening seems to have been inevitable all along, and if it were any other team I'd be whining about it. But I can't help it. I get excited anyway.

I hope you're following me on Twitter and a fan of the new blog on Facebook.

I'm thinking about writing more about this, but: the other day, the Baseball-Reference blog asked whether Mariano Rivera was the greatest pitcher of all-time, and a goodly number of people said yes, or that he was close. Yesterday, Joe Posnanski asked around Twitter, and seemed to get a lot of responses saying that Mo was the most valuable Yankee since 1996. Do these facts make Mariano Rivera the most overrated/overhyped baseball player of all time? Because, I mean, he's great -- easy Hall of Famer, greatest closer and probably the greatest relief pitcher in history -- but without checking, I seriously doubt there's been even one season in which he was the best or most valuable player on his team.

You love sports, so why not make a career of it? A sports management degree from one of the top online colleges available can put you in the fast track to your dream job.
