Do you believe the term asterisk man to be a pejorative? I think an asterisk is neutral. I don't think I didn't say negative. I'm saying that the calling of you as Dan Levitard is an asterisk man. Is that a pejorative?

Alright, so then number two is, prior to Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds, who was the all-time home run leader in a single season? It was Roger Maris, right? Was it? Was it? Because he did it in more games than Babe Ruth did. So 61 asterisk was how they had it.

So Saquon Barkley merely, they said, hey, this is a season. Go out and rush however many yards or whatever. Obviously, he didn't break it, so it's kind of a moot point right now.
