    ***Official Ping Pong Day Thread - Tuesday - May 20th - 8 PM ET - ESPN***

    I would not jump off a cliff. There is a pretty high probability that the expert wizards have greatly over sold the greatness of the top players.

    I miss the glory days of law enforcement. Andy Griffith would just walk in their without his sidearm and lead them cattle out one by one.

    I agree. That was probably the most revealing..about eating alone in his room all the time and being lonely on the bus rides as everybody zoned out with their phones and electronic gear and the admitted failure as a leader. I was also a little taken aback by the lack of material concerning...

    Anybody cruised through it yet? I am almost done. It is about what I expected, although a little bit more candid in spots than I was expecting.

    Timeless Beauty...73!

    You can throw in Angie Dickinson as well. I could not wait to retire to my room after the weekly episode of Police Woman.

    The Orchestration of the Professional Tank

    When trying to analyze the Jazz's early season woes from the charity stripe, it finally hit me, that the real reason for the craftsman like brick laying is that is an organizational wide "stealth" plan to enhance the probability of losing a game without the appearance of actually trying to do...

    Congrats to Dennis Lindsey

    These two games are like magically hooking up with the hottest girl in school and than she explains that she is not interested in a relationship but would rather just meet once a week for sex.

    I would dare say that, in aggregate throughout history, investors (both retail and institutional) have lost more money in momentum stocks than in any other financial endeavor in human history. This is more fascinating given the fact that "momentum" is one of the few persistent factor tilts in...

    Lynch is universally considered one of the great stock pickers of all time and he has the track record to back it up. With that said, compared to the others generally lumped at his level, Lynch's performance has some anomalies which one can argue might put him a notch below some others.

    It depends on your initial knowledge level. If you are starting from scratch, you need a resource that can introduce you to the basic language of the discipline. It is like any other undertaking in that you have to learn the language and definitions so you can build upon your knowledge base. If...

    Is sex overrated?

    Sex is not overrated. The people you have to do it with certainly are, however.

    Is sex overrated?

    "eating tropical fruits?" This might be your greatest post ever. The only way you could have topped this is if you had set it against a backdrop of a Liberace medley. I think you pretty much tied up a lot loose ends here.

    Ronald Reagan; Savior or Scum

    There is also a study I once read that found out that most people would be overwhelming in favor of choosing to make more money than their neighbors in relative terms than in absolute terms. In other words, people willingly choose to make 60k and be the highest paid in their neighborhood or...

    Ask women and African-Americans or other minorities how they felt about the 1950's.

    Ronald Reagan; Savior or Scum

    The current middle class maybe worse off in a relative sense compared to the top 1% but in terms of an absolute historical context your statement is absurd. I grew up in the 70's and graduated in 1981. We were solid middle class, maybe even upper middle class in comparison to our town. One TV...
