I appreciate greatness. Who will you tell your grandkids about? Jetes or Jhonny Peralta?

"Grandpa, tell me about how great Jeter was."

"I don't have to, my boy. Here, I'll just point my wrist lazer computer here at the wall, and now we have it up. Let me touch a few screens, to where I have the sportsjournalists.com archives and ..

"Sportsjournal... what!"

"Sportsjournalists.com. It was a great site for the first decade or so at the turn of the century. We talked about lots of things on our home computers."

"Wow, computers were actually at home? That was so long ago? What did you talk about?"

"Well, a lot of things, but a lot of us talked about newspapers."

"News ... what?"

"Newspapers. See, back in my day, we used to write and put pictures on actual paper. That is, until the Internet, and a bunch of greedy people came along."

"Ohhh."

"But it was fun for a long time, that is, until the whole online network blew up during an argument over who was Terry Bradshaw's best backup quarterback. Terry Hanratty or Cliff Stoudt? The site was banned by the government in retaliation.

"How could the government do that, grandpa?"

"Oh, they've been able to do that for years. It used to be the Wild West on the web, only the government decided to take control as part of the Patriot Act. A few more touches on the screen, and ah, here we are, sportsjournalists.com."

"Wow, this site is really old. It looks older than Grandma's fake teeth."

"Don't tell her that, boy, or you'll hurt her feelings."

"Hey Grandpa, what's this joke about someone named BYH and eight seconds ..."

"Er, never mind son. Here, let me show you our wrestling threads."

"Wow, that John Cena guy was hated by everyone. Why didn't they turn him bad?"

"I don't know son, it killed the business. Luckliy, Hunter McMahon Jr. is reviving it. Anyways, let's switch over to the Jeter thread. Ah, here we are. From 2011."

"Wow, this MankyJimmy guy is crazy about Jeter. Who is this guy?"

"Beats the sh--, er, heck out of me, little buddy. I never found out who any of these guys and gals were."

"And he says Jeter was better than Ted Williams and Babe Ruth. That's fucking ridiculous. I did research texts on them for my class, and they both were way better than Jeter."

"Yeah, I know son, and watch your language."

"And he says that Jeter is the greatest of them all? He's full of it. Everyone knows that Barry Bonds was better."

"Shhh, don't mention his name. The government's got spy cameras everywhere."

"And this Jeter was the leader in the postseason. Doesn't this MAnky guy know that there weren't any playoffs for the first 80 years of the majors?"

"Yeah, I know. Crazy, isn't it."

"So then why does this guy keep insisting Jeter's the best?"

"Well son, let me explain something to you. Well, no, your parents should be explaining it to you."

"No Grandpa, you tell me."

"Well, it's about the birds and the birds, so to speak."

That, sir, was well struck.

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread

I haven't seen much discussion of this but Jeter could own the all time runs scored record by the time he retires. He's only about 500 runs away. He should enter the top 10 all time next year.

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread

The 37-year-old is only 500 runs away. Pure comedy.

Let me break it down for you, 100 runs a year for 5 years and Jeter has the record.

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread

The dude's 37. I'd be surprised if he plays three more years.

Hank_Scorpio · Sep 12, 2011

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread

And even if he does play five more years, he won't be scoring 100 runs per year.

He's only at 75 this year, with around 15 games left.

MankyJimy · Sep 13, 2011

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread

I didn't say he would only play 5 more years. Just that he could break the record in 5.

How long until he sets the NBA record for points and breaks the NFL rushing record? Or will he challenge Gretzky's NHL records first?

OK, serious question here. All kidding aside, how long until you give birth to Jetes' love child?

I don't get the hate for Jeter on this board. I am the only one who appraises him honestly.
