Adam Wodon Chat at CSTV - 18 years ago
Well, I accidentally started a thread in the wrong place. But instead of waiting for Age to delete it, I figured I'd point out Adam Wodon's preseason chat wrap to anyone who hasn't caught it yet.by Jacob 03 - Hockey
Re: USCHO going to pay structure? - 18 years ago
For me the move to a user fee structure for the bulk of ESPN's online content did little more than help me realize how overvalued it was. One can find lots of things on the internet worth 10,20, or even 40 dollars a year; shoddy sportswriting isn't one of them. The various non-hack writers for USCHO might have been worth a subscription fee of some kind, but not when a few of them are now providby Jacob 03 - Hockey

Re: OT: The Yankees - 19 years ago
Just to clarify, I wasn't saying that everyone following sports should turn into the ultimate stat-head, nor that we should take all the passion out of it. And maybe a feel-good story overemphasizing something ridiculous (oh look! the 2B and 3B are BEST FRIENDS!) or the historical/social relevance of the sport is nice once in a while. But it's still possible to have fun and play guessing gamesby Jacob 03 - Hockey

the decade of unprecedented parity to which i was referring was the 1990s (the anti-Yankees arguments coming at the end of 1999 after their third world series of the decade). this was a decade that had the most competitive balance in ninety years, despite the fact that one team won three world series in four years. the measure of "who won the world series that year" as a gauge of compby Jacob 03 - Hockey
