Five Arguments For and Against the Existence of God and Their Equivalents Concerning Jamie Moyer as a Hall of Famer

Dubsism

One thing that is true about the blogosphere, and one of its greatest things overall, is the fact that you can find a list for just about any topic.  This is the parlance of Listverse, which is honestly one of the best sites anywhere. This is why we here at Dubsism have a long history of comparing an incredible non-sports entry from Listverse and comparing it to something from the sporting world.

Another thing which is true about the blogosphere is that it is the express train from the sublime to the ridiculous. That brings us to our Jamie Moyer for the Hall of Fame campaign.  Now that the clock for Moyer’s eligibility for induction into Cooperstown is ticking, it is time for one of those comparisons so that you can decide where on that spectrum this campaign resides.

THE ULTIMATE DONOVAN MCNABB HALL OF FAME QUALIFICATION ANALYSIS: (THE ANSWER YOU WON’T HEAR ANYWHERE ELSE)

But of course, the “Is Donovan McNabb a Hall of Famer?” question is now ripe for discussion. My goal here is to present a little bit of a different angle here, as opposed to the ones you will likely hear over the summer. This is not going to be an argument about statistics, but instead one about how we look at situations like this.
