Everybody Hates Jay (Episode Two)

Heh, not serious.  But Bart Simpson's heroic alter ego is the only Bartman I've ever heard of.  I'm assuming the ball was signed by some baseball player.

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, it wasn't signed by a player, it was from the 2003 NLCS when a fan named Steve Bartman reached into the field to catch a foul ball that a player would have caught and ended the inning, they were 1.1 innings away from going to their first world series in 50+ years, and hadn't won a world series since 1908.  Instead of closing out the inning, they ended up giving up 7 runs with 2 outs, lost the next game and still haven't made it back.  Cubs fans threw stuff at Steve Bartman as he left the stadium and he has never given a public interview because directly following the game he got death threats and was harassed.  It's ok if ya didn't know it, not everyone's a big baseball fan, especially in this part of the country.  I only realized when I moved here that there really is some die hard college basketball and Nascar fans, they really don't have those back in Louisiana.

Ok, I can understand the level of hatred then.  I can only imagine if something comparable happened to the Panthers.  I liked college basketball as a kid, cuz of my family, but since my early teens I've been pretty much strictly Panthers.  Can't STAND watching baseball.  I'd rather watch tennis or even possibly golf.

    • in starts, he has played better, been more efficient and outproduced Bryce by virtually every statistical metric that exists in 2025.  And has the 2 head to heads over Carolina.  I mean, your jaw should hit the floor.  But not for the reason you are implying.  That freaking stings.  Denying these realities isn't going to help the Panthers build a better team going forward.     
    • He is basically having a polar opposite rookie season than Bryce. 4-3 as a starter on a very bad team.  68% for 237 passing yards and 19 rush per game. 9 TDs,  6 TOs in his starts.  and folks acknowledge the surprisingly play because no one thought poo of the random 2nd rounder and he is player better as a rookie thus far than so many prized picks did as a rookies (not just Bryce but a boatload of dudes).   It's only a sour issue to give someone props because he is a Saint and of course the Bryce thing.  It's like giving the TE in Clev props for having near identical production as the chosen one Tyler Warren.  Fannin is having a great rookie season in a very bad spot. 
    • This is a very weird take. The reason Shough doesn't deserve it is because he's only started 7 games. He's doing crazy well for a rookie and out playing plenty of vets with a worse roster. He's waaay above league average in a number of categories during his starts and he passes the eye test in game by making plays. Meanwhile Bryce Young had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time. Still TMac deserves it more. It's only been 7 games for Shough so he doesn't deserve any awards. Even if he gets to 9 he doesn't.
