In 1968, Bob Gibson was never removed for another pitcher. Not once, all year. Including the World Series, he made 37 starts. He completed 31 of them. The other six, he was removed for a pinch-hitter
My daughter's friend in grad school, upon being asked by a member of her dissertation committee why she didn't include a Marxist perspective. "I grew up in the Soviet Union. I don't practice recreational Marxism."

All primarily English by birth within the Kingdom of Great Britain. The army drew troops from across the British Isles (including Scottish regiments) plus German auxiliaries, but senior leadership here was English.

Joe Rogan gets so excited when sunlight expert Rowan Jacobsen tells him coffee is the best supplement that exists today:
ROGAN: “Is coffee actually good for you?”
JACOBSEN: “Coffee is SHOCKINGLY good for you. It’s crazy how powerful the evidence is.”
ROGAN: “I’ve read that it’s bad for you, but I dismissed it because I’m biased. I love coffee. It tastes too good and feels too good.”
JACOBSEN: “It’s the best supplement in the world.”
ROGAN: “Really? What makes it so good?”
JACOBSEN: “It improves mitochondrial function. I think caffeine is a major part of it, but coffee contains other compounds too. Tea doesn’t seem to deliver the same benefits.”
ROGAN: “That’s interesting.”
JACOBSEN: “Plants actually produce caffeine to kill insects. It makes their mitochondria run completely out of control until they basically blow up.
Humans have systems that slow down that reaction, so we get the energy boost without the explosion. It helps us produce energy more efficiently with less wear and tear.”
ROGAN: “That’s all I needed to hear. I’m in. I love coffee and I’m never giving it up.”
Chris Fowler reflects on the most powerful and emotional game he's ever called:
"It was a game between Purdue and Ohio State. There was a young cancer patient named Tyler Trent, a superfan who had essentially been adopted by the team.
He battled cancer courageously and was in very bad shape. His dying wish was to see them win that game. They were massive underdogs.
Somehow, they got him out of bed and into the car to make it to the game. He was just hanging on, man. It was one of those magical nights.
It would have been a corny movie if it had been on film. They blast Ohio State, and it's a party. They wheel Tyler through the end zone to the locker room to wait for the team after the victory.
It was just an incredibly powerful emotion, and I was barely keeping it together. I said, 'Every Boilermaker would say, "Tyler, this one's for you."'
It's my favorite game I've ever called because it went way beyond sports."
NEWS: Michigan coach Dusty May is finalizing a deal to take the Dallas Mavericks head coaching job, sources tell me @shams and @AdamSchefter. May led Michigan basketball to the national title in April. The allure of coaching Cooper Flagg as a linchpin piece helped draw him.
@mammasaysstuff@cafreiman@EdWhelanEPPC Marx’s ideas did not work
No economics department teaches Marx as a useful economic concept
Marx is for envy-driven totalitarians to sound virtuous while taking others’ property
