phenomenon-of-ibrahimovic:

Zlatan Ibrahimovic made his defiant return to Ligue 1 following his two-match ban for kicking a goalkeeper in the chest and he promptly scored two goals and set up two others in PSG’s 4-0 win against Troyes. Of course, being the best player in France causes one to develop a mighty thirst and when Zlatan attempted to satisfying that thirst with a drink of water, the Craziest Man in the World attempted to take it from him mid-sip.

The man seemed to be defending a bottle of water that didn’t belong to Zlatan, but what he clearly didn’t know is that all water belongs to Zlatan. This brazen fool was lucky though. Since Zlatan is fresh off his ban, he didn’t decapitate him with a bicycle kick. Instead, Zlatan shot him a death glare normally reserved for pictures of Pep Guardiola.

No one has ever been luckier than this man in this moment.(c) Brooks Peck

don’t try to take zlatan’s water

Baseball & the Flawed MLB

Bill Simmons: First, what was your baseball meltdown?

Malcolm Gladwell: It came after the Blue Jays (my team) won the second of their World Series titles. Economic reality hit, and they basically stopped trying to compete at the top level, and I wondered to myself: Why do I care so much about a sport where some teams have $200 million to spend and some teams have $20 million to spend? I know, I know — as Rob Neyer and others point out — that there is no necessary correlation between payroll and success. It is possible, as “Moneyball” reminds us, to win with less by being smarter. But the point is not that if you have more money than someone else you automatically win more games. The point is that if you have more money that someone else you’re playing a different game than they are. Wal-mart is not competing against mom-and-pop corner stores. They’re in a different business. And it isn’t fun, at the end of the day, to watch a mom-and-pop compete against Wal-mart. It’s painful and pointless.

I loved “Moneyball.” I thought it was one of the best books of the past decade. I think it should be taught in psychology classes and business schools as a treatise on the subtle effects of bias on expert decision-making. But do you think that Billy Beane, for a moment, wouldn’t trade his situation with Theo Epstein or Cashman? To me, the hard cap in football — and, to a lesser extent, the soft cap in basketball — are what makes those sports so interesting. It’s what makes them sports. Contests where one player has significantly more resources than another are not sports. They are marketplaces. To root for the Yankees or the Red Sox is the functional equivalent of rooting for Microsoft or General Electric. No thanks.
