I finally watched the new Superman (I am very busy, ok?) and … I was not expecting it to be a two-hour explainer on E Unibus Pluram that’s perfectly digestible for kids and adults alike.

Injuries in sports can be so cruel. A few years ago Trout was talked about as possibly the most talented baseball player ever with people flatly assuming he’d finish with Mays/Aaron-like numbers.

I love when college sports people try to trash the modern game and its players by explaining that players these day care about … very reasonable things to care about.

I love Steph. But this is one of the dumbest headlines I’ve ever seen.
Steph’s record isn’t even the most unbreakable NBA record by a guy born in Akron, Ohio.
