No, but I been around baseball my whole life and I know more than these fricking nerds on TD.

Daryl Morey and Chris Wallace know more about basketball than many who have been around the NBA their whole lives.

Jeff Luhnow, Theo Epstein, and Jon Daniels know more about baseball than many who had long MLB careers despite not even playing HS ball.

Dont discount the nerds, they often gain a more valuable knowledge from their objective position than the most seasoned of the sports insiders.

This is just the tip of the iceberg too... there are general managers and even coaches in all of the major sports that have been very successful with only HS experience or less actually playing the sport.
