    Just making it to Triple-A and not hitting .000 makes him among the top 0.0001% of athletes in the U.S. Quite an accomplishment. But it doesn't make him among the top 0.000001%. So nice try but no cigar, Timbo.

    Actually the narrative about Ron Desantis is that he's going against the grain in terms of being a Trump acolyte. Getting some grudging praise for working with both sides of the aisle.

    Actually that’s not true. At the AA level, which Jordan never made it above, Tim’s stats are way better across the board. Jordan was a really poor slap hitter with no power.

    No, he's doing the same bullshit with a lot of his efforts going about voter suppression and re-enacting an old Jim Crow law....He's just much less of a loud asshole about it.

    They guy he beat in the primary would have been far worse.

    That should be on his re-election poster. DeSantis: Could Have Been Worse

    You might disagree, but I seriously doubt that there's much worst than re-enacting Jim Crow laws. Adam Putnam was a total fucking clown-ass shill that sold out to any and every special interest but his big thing was going to be destroying any small agricultural land to feed the larger agribusiness that lined his pockets even more than the gun lobby and continuing to shit on the environment that Rick Scott did a good job of destroying.

    Putnam, for better or worse, didn't hide who he was. He was proud to be a sell out. Ron DeSantis does his dirty deeds quietly.

    RIP Tim Tebow's virginity?
    He's gotten married, which means at some point he'll pass the A.C. Green Memorial Trophy on to some other athlete.

    Fact remains that if his name were Tim Jones, he’d never have been signed in the first place.
    He’s the oldest player in the Eastern League and probably stronger than everybody else because of his football background.

    And Jordan signed a minor league baseball contract because ... Stern hooked him up as more graceful than a flat-out suspension for gambling on the NBA?

    True. Neither is a viable baseball player. Tebow keeps getting invites to opportunities— Arizona Fall League, big league spring training— that can only be attributed to his fame.

    Yeah, it's a low bar (no pun intended) considering the source, but this is about as bad a take as it comes from Barstool.
