30 weeks 9 hours ago	Well said.	I've been thinking about this for a while.  I understand that on an individual basis, whether or not the ball bounces to me and I recover it is extremely random.  But if a given team is constantly flowing to the ball, gang-tackling, what-have-you on defense, then it would seem that that team would be more likely to capitalize on fumble recover opportunities.  Granted, 14 of 16 still seems really high, but I don't think it's unreasonable to say that a team's play has *some* ability to affect its fumble recovery success rate.   If team A is coached to have its defensive linemen chase the ball on every play and team B is lackadaisical or lazy about such plays, I would absolutely expect team A to recover more opportunities.
33 weeks 1 day ago	kayfabe	In case anyone else is wondering, like I was: In professional wrestling, kayfabe (pronounced /ˈkeɪfeɪb/) is the portrayal of events within the industry as "real" or "true". Specifically, the portrayal of professional wrestling, in particular the competition and rivalries between participants, as being genuine or not of a worked nature. Referring to events or interviews as being a "chore" means that the event/interview has been "kayfabed" or staged, or is part of a wrestling angle while being passed off as legitimate. Kayfabe has also evolved to become a code word of sorts for maintaining this "reality" within the realm of the general public. Kayfabe is often seen as the suspension of disbelief that is used to create the non-wrestling aspects of promotions, such as feuds, angles, and gimmicks, in a similar manner with other forms of entertainment such as soap opera or film. In relative terms, a wrestler breaking kayfabe during a show would be likened to an actor breaking character on camera. Also, since wrestling is performed in front of a live audience, whose interaction with the show is crucial to the show's success (see pop), one might compare kayfabe to the fourth wall, since there is hardly any conventional fourth wall to begin with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe#Breaking_kayfabe
34 weeks 2 hours ago	Thanks	I was unaware of the source feed so I'll switch to that.
37 weeks 4 days ago	Agreed	I enjoyed hearing about why the Sox shouldn't have covered both bases on the hard shot past Morel. Interesting stuff, makes perfect sense, and probably not something that I would have thought of otherwise.

38 weeks 1 day ago	Well...	If you're going to count road revenue from the opponent, then you'd have to include revenue given them for their trip here, which he does not.  I don't know how a home-and-home money-sharing deal is usually arranged, but maybe we're assuming a "you keep yours and I'll keep mine" type of deal.
39 weeks 1 day ago	He really crushed that ball.	He really crushed that ball.
39 weeks 1 day ago	Wow	The Mariners and Tribe played a day-night doubleheader yesterday and followed it up with a day game today?  That's a lot of baseball.
39 weeks 2 days ago	Also...	Also, the stadium is in a terrible location and not very convenient to get to.
