Ben Volin is an idiot. Does anyone else agree?

yeah, it's tough to do the job with limited football knowledge and limited journalistic skill


true sports writing is dead, and the worst part of it is MCI isn't even a very good click-troll

I, too, enjoy the fact that water is wet.

You talking' to ME?

The highest % of MBA morons has to be from the Harvard B school. Harvard MBAs are primarily trained to be CEOs and the majority who never become CEOs are useless. Of course there are exceptions.

I think there is probably just as much good sports writing as there used to be. There's just a lot more bad.

The planet is round, does anyone else agree?

No

(WARNING- Mr Know It All Answer)

The shape of the Geode, as it is called, is nearly a perfect sphere, but because the earth is spinning, it is about 21.5 kilometers flatter at the poles, and bulged-out at the equator by about the same amount. There are also other 'higher-order' shape deviations which make the Earth slightly pear- shaped with a larger southern hemisphere surface area than in the northern hemisphere, but at a level of a kilometer or so in radial girth. The biggest effect, though, is its polar flattening. If you had a basketball to represent the Earth's spherical average shape, the flattening would be 21/6500 = about 1/300 the radius of the basketball or 1/32 of an inch...give or take.

Sincerely,

Ben Volin

But why can't the earth admit that it actually is round. Yes, we don't have any proof that it is fully round. But it's a stupid move by it to try and come up with some stupid reason for why it isn't round. I mean, slightly pear-shaped, what kind of awful excuse is that? Come on, just admit it and move on!

he went even more nuts today on twitter comparing circumstantial eveidence to hernandez and Oj calling pats fans 3rd graders.. Why is he the local beat writer?

Sounds like Trollin is taking notes from Gregg Doyel

If you can't add anything insightful, informative or clever, might as well stoop to 13 year old level smack talk with the fans

Nah we were no where near that professional. We just printed out the logo and taped it on as a make-shift template.

Seriously, if that occurred, he should be held accountable by his employer.

Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone been tuned into Tiny Tim Benz and his Pitt show lately about the Patriots?
