Of course it was. He almost jumped ship to Ole Miss after last season.

Buddy, I’m not a commie humanities teacher. I teach money subjects.

Ohhh, so you're an oligarch or oligarch-aspirant! Now we see.

Seriously, humanities teachers aren't necessarily commies. That's more lame than the lame joke that @Jackcrevol is a commie.

Good, he can get torched by us next season

Intelligence is not what makes a great hitter. There are a lot of DUMB baseball players who can hit. It's just experience. You put in the reps and have the athleticism, you end up being good at it. Jordan would have been an MLB hall of famer if he'd been putting in the reps for baseball since he was 5 instead of using all his reps on basketball.

And no, at any decent level, you cannot put in a random athlete for football and expect them to be good. There's a LOT more knowledge needed to be good at football than baseball. Schemes and positions and assignments and plays and knowing what your teammates are doing simultaneously and reacting to all those variables from the defense as well.

You're pumping up baseball to be much more than it is. It requires more time and more reps to dial in hitting than some specific skills in other sports, sure, but beyond pitch selection it's not all that complicated or complex, and there's sooo much time for the manager to handle most of the complexity (shifts, pitch selection, etc...) that players don't really need to be all that smart.

Edit, by intelligence I mean knowledge of the game, not general intelligence.

All Jordan had to do was practice a little bit…..

Wow.

I wouldn't say this is a positive thing because that's quality depth we just lost, but the silver lining is that we know what he brings and that means there's a couple dudes much better than him.

Pilli, Telander, Spillman, Perry must've really jumped him on the depth chart.

@jave36 literally said "putting in the reps for baseball since he was 5."

Anyway, I looked at the feed of that guy you posted. It's pretty interesting, especially the overlays.

People can find it boring. Nothing wrong with that.

But hitting major league pitching is still the hardest thing to do in sports.

If you count golf as a sport, a hole-in-one is right up there as well.

Happy Friday

April 19, 2024: Your spiritual awareness is becoming more acute. This will be a subtle but palpable change in your life. Embrace and nurture this time of growth and development as you leave fleshly concerns behind. Open your heart, and let your faith soar like an eagle. Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

It's a shame. This staff worked with Aidoo to develop his game. He had a chance to be a Vol great. But he chose money. No judgement. He may not see a future in basketball and chose to get paid now.

 

[DD4ME]

I enjoy the civil discourse on here. America has lost that art. We filter our content in most channels and either listen to echo chambers or rant at our opponents.

 

[DD4ME]

Say a guy's name without saying his name.

Lol

I feel slighted being left off the @ list here :flex:

The data on the Yankees is inaccurate. Lou Gehrig is the greatest Yankee. Let it be written, let it be known.

Some of those are downright laughable.

Johnny Bench > Pete Rose
Ty Cobb >>> Miguel Cabrera (wtf)
Skinny Barry > Honus Wagner
Willie Mays > Fat Barry
Stan Musial > Albert Pujols

I agree….your list is fyaaaaa and more accurate than this hunk of junk

 

[DD4ME]

Is this cause of the 5 stars they've lost?

Say a guy's name without saying his name.

CRB patience is wearing thin with AWAKA it seems.

I'll take pronounce UT's 1st opponent with the appropriate regional pronunciation for a $1000 Alex.

True, but I was speaking Aidoo here.

Maryville or as some pronounce the word Murryville. @Enki_Amenra believe this poster lives in that area. Should know proper pronunciation of the area.

I know what he said…. Its just a lot more complicated then putting in the reps since the age of 5. Jordan did play pretty heavily through some of his teen years but gave it up bc basketball was sports…. Others have been pretty dominant at two sports such as Danny Ainge for example. Hitting a baseball at a MLB level is one of the hardest things to do in sports.

Whoot aboot curling? The thinking drinking man's hardest sport in the whole world, you hoser.

The EPL says hi right back.

The EPL is the unquestioned top league in the world's most popular sport, and revenue for the elite clubs is on par with the top NFL clubs. The Big Six EPL teams averaged $684 million in revenue versus $586 million for the typical NFL team.

The post you quoted was probably implying women’s professional soccer… jmo.
