ESPNBoston.com Plucks One From Yahoo
1-liner, ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings November 4th. 2009, 3:15pmMedia Musings: Multiple sources tell The Big Lead that Gordon Edes, a baseball writer at Yahoo Sports, is leaving for ESPNBoston.com upon completion of the World Series. Presumably, Edes will cover the Red Sox, which was his primary focus for many years at the Boston Globe. We emailed Edes about the move and all he would say is that he’s under contract at Yahoo and covering the World Series. He didn’t elaborate.

Remind anyone else of the crawl on ESPN that says stuff like “ESPN.com’s Pat Forde reports…”?
November 4th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
i noticed that espn has started doing the lead… at the bottom. they clearly stole that name from this site and a lawsuit should follow
November 4th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
and this is a big deal because?
November 4th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
I’m pretty sure every topic has at least 2 or 3 of these statements today. One of those days I guess.

November 4th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
fuck yea…especially after the 44 oz. SMALL drink they give you.
The hardest thing about that is deciding when to stop drinking the soda and turn it into a spitter. Just ball up the napkins from the popcorn, toss em in the 44oz cup and you have a silent spitter that won’t easily spill on you.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
it seems like everyone dips and not too many people chew amongst mouth cancer enthusiasts. is there a reason for that?
November 4th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Psshh. That’s why you get a water cup and a handful of napkins at the snack bar.

it was just a one-hitter, had fabric softner sheet with me to blow it through. so it was no big deal. it was at Batman and Robin.

You’ve got to be kidding me. There’s no way cope is making a flavored brand!? The best part about cope was the leather taste, that lasted forever.

sour patch kids get you higher though
November 4th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
hey i’m a lung cancer enthusiast i was just wondering why no one chews
November 4th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
seriously…i always get icee’s and they’re just as huge. i always end up chugging it before the previews are done, getting brain freeze like thirty times and then having to pee 10 minutes into the thing right after i put in my dip. the movie concession people think everyone has an iron bladder…assholes.
im bout to go jim leyland on your ass…
it’s not the buzz of the tobacco or the taste or anything. it’s that pinch. that painful sensation in your gums. the feeling of the fiberglass cutting and sending that nicotine straight into your bloodstream. just think about it, dippers, you know what im talking about. that minute after you finish a big meal, when you’re fat and full and you put in that slug o’ dip. the minute your cheek feels that pain…THAT’S what does it. that’s the best feeling in the world.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
@sparty - you would need all the dope you could your hands on to sit through that crap fest.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
yeah, i really miss dip. skoal speramint was awesome. but really, theaters that sell beer are the greatest thing since they introduced talkies.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:42 pm

It’s easier to conceal/less messy to dip in an office/car/bar/class/etc than chew. Though, chewing while catching was awesome.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
dude, bourbon flavored cope has already been out for over three years. this isn’t new territory for them.
and until they realize that LONG CUT doesn’t mean slightly rougher than coffee grounds, i’ll never buy back to back tins of cope.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Requires more spitting, and, for me at least, the taste isn’t as good. I definitely opted for chew over dip in our summer softball league, though. Dip over chew in the spring and fall league.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:42 pm

but dip has that painful sensation. that’s what im looking for.

there was a theatre in my hometown growing up where they served beer and you could smoke (before smoking inside was taboo) and we would blaze in there all the time.
and regarding the spitter at the theatre, i know it’s nasty, but if there isn’t many people around you, just spit on the floor.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
and until they realize that LONG CUT doesn’t mean slightly rougher than coffee grounds, i’ll never buy back to back tins of cope.
You pussy, learn how to pack the fucking tin. With a tight pack and proper pinch, cope long cut would outlast any other brand, even the green death known as kodiak.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
All of this chew/dip talk is completely foreign to me.

While at one time, I thought this was a valid question, let’s take a look around the room. spence is from Ohio, ill is from Maryland, mrejr’s from Illinois, and I’m from Atlanta. I don’t think it really matters where you’re from. Dipping knows no geographical boundary.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
chew is the leafy stuff (i.e., redman, levi garrett, etc) that you put in your cheek and chew on. lots of spit, can last hours. dip is the stuff in a can (skoal, cope, etc.) that you put in your lip and spit, and can last as equally as long.
/packs skoal
November 4th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
what’s the difference between chew and dip?
Dip is small, shaven pieces of the tobacco leaf. Chew is a larger, leafy portion of the tobacco leaf. Dips are used in much smaller quantities, though some people have morphed the dipping process into 2-3 incredibly large dips per can.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
chew comes in a pouch. dip comes in a tin.

Thanks for the education. I only dipped once in HS (Kodiak) and I got such a huge queasy buzz that I had to take a nap in the middle of the afternoon.

Yeah I thought dip/chew was the same thing? Both a gross thing that you put in your mouth that makes you spit and gives you mouth cancer? I mean sounds like as good of an idea as starting a meth habit.
November 4th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Can’t remember who it was, but the last time we had a big dip discussion somebody actually threw out “I like such and such pouches”. I can only hope they were joking.
