You just invented the super lock.

Penalties for being wrong are -10 times lock level.

MLB hit king Pete Rose dead at 83
I've been wondering if Pete Rose was our most overdebated subject on SportsFilter.
I loved Rose's intensity as a kid discovering baseball in the '70s. It was enthralling to see him run the bases in that Prince Valiant haircut like warplanes were peppering the ground with bullets.

MLB hit king Pete Rose dead at 83
He was one of the greatest players of all time. What he lacked in talent he made up for in grit, determination, and hustle. Unfortunately, he was a very flawed human. I must admit I loved listening to him talk baseball. But, I also must admit, that I didn't like the guy (but I loved the player). It was tough being a huge Reds fan my whole life and not liking one of the teams all time greats as a person. Some of the stories I've heard from many who knew him (I grew up and now live just north of Cincy and I know quite a few people in the horse racing industry) doesn't paint a pretty picture. In a strange way, I have Pete to thank for helping me realize at a fairly young age that my sports or music (for that matter) heroes don't have to be my "real life" heroes. RIP Peter Edward Rose.

I used to run into Pete occasionally growing up outside of Cincinnati--he lived in the town next to mine that was zoned all residential, so he had to come to my town to shop. You'd always know Pete was around because he drove a bright red Porsche 930. Dude was a hell of a competitor and ball player, but he was dumb as a bag of hammers.

And after this past Sunday night's NFL game, Ravens fans are glad to tell everyone that a group of crows is called a murder.
A group of Royals is...a palace. Yawn.
But a group of Padres is a mission.

Yesterday was National Good Neighbor Day and National North Carolina Day.
So after being down 20-0 halfway through the third quarter, Duke came back and beat UNC 21-20.
Fortunately for NoMich, yesterday was also National Drink Beer Day.
How did games even get played after the storm? Flooding looked cataclysmic.

Pirates Cut Player Four At-Bats Before $200,000 Bonus
If they want to attract players and avoid depressing fans they have to be smarter about avoiding headlines like this. The voice of the Jaguars Frank Frangie is a Pirates fan and news of this got attention on his radio show in Jacksonville.
I bet the Pirates have enough executives to task somebody with figuring out when to release or demote somebody without looking like it was incentive related.
Now that Mark Cuban doesn't own the Mavericks maybe he'll get a second shot at buying the Pirates someday.

Pirates Cut Player Four At-Bats Before $200,000 Bonus
I'm not really sure how I feel about this. With regard to cutting him sooner, would he still have made the full $3.2M if they did that? At first glance it sounds like a dick move, though if the Pirates aren't interested in keeping Tellez on, it makes sense to call up one of the young guys, even if only for a week. And I don't think they owe him the opportunity to reach the mark just because he's close. Admittedly, I'd generally prefer to be on the side of labor rather than management, though I don't believe he's been underpaid for his production this season.
To jags' point, this action probably looks worse than it is, however looks matter, too.

I get cutting Tellez, he's been awful. But...what horrible timing. If he was cut a month ago, this would be no big deal. Not a good look from an organization known for being "cheap". May make it even more difficult to get free agents to come to Pittsburgh (in particular, agree to incentive laden contracts).

I hate the Monday Night Football doubleheader, though I should be grateful that it meant fewer eyeballs on the Jaguars game. At one point last season Jacksonville was 8-3 and had the best AFC record. Since then they've won one game and are back in the first-overall-draft pick conversation.

Freaky post-Lamar talent in the league. Jayden may end up being better than Lamar overall and Malik Willis is possibly as good a runner, although not as silky and quite as mesmerizing to watch.
And if Anthony Richardson ever gains consistency with his arm, heaven help the league, and a few munitions depots deep inside Russia too.

The loneliness of the low-ranking tennis player
I love stories like this. For years I've been fascinated with the idea of what it would have taken to get ranked in tennis. I think you can earn a point by making an ITF tournament and winning a single match. In my head how this works out for me is that my opponent withdraws and I get a walkover, so for the next 12 months I am tied somewhere in the 3,000s at the bottom until my point scrolls off.
