He had data supporting his decision, and it doesn't make sense to wait for things to get bad before making a move.

I am, however, here to say that baseball is more fun when it makes less sense.

I got no beef with analytics and sports as more information is never a bad thing.

Leaning on the data makes more sense than sticking to something you've heard over and over and the war between the athletes and the math elites.

I'm Swiss, but it's more fun when a manager lets his best starting pitcher go into the wheels fall off, providing the chance to some in some intangible reserve of fortitude that may or may not actually exist.

Just like it's more fun when a manager actually decides to try straight steal a home plate in the world, Siri's minimizing risk is what I do, but it's never what I want someone else to do.

Not if I'm supposed to watch it, but here's where cast deserves some slack.

If Dave Robertson die, Mattingly hadn't leaned on hero narrative for years.

We wouldn't have spent the last few years calling Clayton Kershaw choker.

Good sense might have gotten the Diet is a couple of more titles by pulling Kershaw a little bit earlier, but I personally would rather talk about the pitchers Snell through, not the ones he didn't.

Wise decisions.

They're usually great when you're a fan of a baseball team, not so much of your fan of baseball itself.

Cowboys fans may have to face a tough truth.

Jerry Jones is amazing, a business but batted hiring great football people.

Jones paid 140 million bucks for the Cowboys in 1989 and now they're worth about $5.7 billion.

Great businessman, but it's been 25 years since America's team won the Super Bowl.

There are football fans in their thirties that don't remember watching the Cowboys be dominant as the team goes up in flames this season.

Jones continues to insist there's no coaching your leadership issue.

Even with players speaking anonymously to the contract, fans can root for their favorite teams quarterback to be benched or a coach GM to get fired.

But what do you do when you realize the guy with the ultimate say simply isn't good at judging football.

What good is firing if the person doing the hiring isn't capable of finding better people if your favorite restaurant suddenly serves bad food?

No matter how many chefs have been in the kitchen, you don't insist that restaurant be sold.

At some point, you simply stop going there.

Insisting that any bad team be sold isn't realistic.

So fans air left to do the impossible check out on their favorite team.

The NFL is supposed to be a league of renewed annual hope.

If the guy writing the checks is simply no longer good at hiring great people, where does the hope come from?

The answer, unfortunately, is nowhere.

That's the ultimate defeat for Cowboys fans already enduring weekly heartbreak.

Shawn Kemp knows all about getting lifted physically as one of the most beloved dunkers in NBA history and now botanically on Friday, nearly 31 years to the day he made his debut with the Seattle SuperSonics, the six time All Star was a rookie once again, this time in the multibillion dollar cannabis industry with Shawn Kemps cannabis.

The Seattle sports legend is staking claim as the city's first black dispensary owner.

That distinction isn't lost on camp, either.

I hope that my business will be an inspiration for people to get involved with the legal cannabis industry, especially people of color, he said.

Over 55 million Americans regularly used marijuana in 33 states, plus d.

C have legalized medicinal marijuana.

Yeah, black participation in the modern gold rush has been a steep battle uphill.

Just 4.3% black ownership of stakeholders exist in the budding business, according to a 2017 survey.

Those numbers air filter via decades of demonization and a CEO You study concluded that nationwide black people, despite similar usage rates, are nearly four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than their white counterparts and in some states is 10 times higher.

Kemp's row won't single handedly changed the stigma, but the rain man becoming the Strain Man is one of those rare 2020 headlines that brings a smile to my face and for countless see out of residents and future satisfied customers.

Definitely, there's two.

This week, the world of hockey lost a legend, a man whose life was cut short but who made an indelible impact in Edmonton, Everyone knew Joey Moss, who was first hired as a locker room attendant for the Oilers in 1984.

He had the best possible reference for the job.

Wayne Gretzky, who at the time was dating Joey's sister, Vicky, the 11th of 12 Children.

Sam Gagne, who spent nine seasons, is an Oiler, wrote.

As my kids grow older, I plan on telling them all of the stories I have about Joey and on using the lessons I learned from him to teach them what it means to live a full life.

Gretzky, who called Joey every year on his birthday, also paid tribute to his old friend in a statement, The great one set of his fellow Hall of Famer.

Whether it was a coffee before practice or a big hug.

After a great win or a tough loss, Joey would put life in perspective.

He will be missed but not forgotten.
