Did any of their philosophers get attacked by their contemporaries when the Classical Greeks started proclaiming the world was round?

My guess is you could live to be 1 000 and not come across any. All this “blame Theo” stuff is really stupid

They state the facts and rarely put an opinion out there. They are one of the most unbiased sites I have ever been on. And they cover every team equally. The team filters are great, too.

When I started going on their site maybe 4 or 5 years ago, I was curious about who Tim Dierkes. I youtube’d him and saw him in an interview with someone. He’s a really young guy. But, he put a great website together and hired some really good writers to assist him. I can’t say enough about that site.

Don’t agree with you much, but that is THE place to be on non-tender night, draft pick signing deadline night, trade deadline nights, and for lots of other good reasons.

I never saw him referenced on this site before (unless I missed it). I don’t usually give independent websites too much credit, but Dierkes runs a GREAT website over there. During the trade deadline and hotstove periods, it’s the only site I go to on a daily basis for baseball info. Great website with great writers!
