...most half-assed in retirement history. He continued to record hits with Beyoncé and an ill-conceived EP with Linkin Park at a distinctly un-retired pace. But unlike many other stars that have come back only to efface their own legacies with sub-par performances (Why, Jordan, why?), Jigga still shines on his “comeback” album...
...chance points during the game. On defense, Harvard out-rebounded Lehigh 22-15 to improve on its seasonal average of 19 defensive rebounds per game.

A record is a record is a record. I know Maris had more games than Ruth, and Dickerson had more than O.J., but we remember this, the same way we’ll remember that Bonds had more chemistry than Aaron.
