It’s so sad that the Astros traded the one reliever they had who’d beat himself up over this performance for the reliever who’s most likely to beat someone else up over this performance.

He just needs to switch jobs with his brother.

I’m not sure it was strictly necessary for Machado to raise his hand high enough to have a fair-to-decent chance of punching Arcia in the nuts, myself.  Sure, probably not illegal, but pretty assholish, I’d think.

You know, it’s cool to crap on players who let their emotions affect their on-field behavior, but much of this criticism is overblown. Moving your team from a spot that was almost a certain touchdown and forcing them to settle for a field goal is only important in a game that is decided by three points or less.

Can Nathan Petersen choose them for you?  He’s the best when the time comes to pick six.

And in the space of a single half, Moore has become Washington’s most valuable wide receiver this year.

Look, Jimmy, I’m just saying, you’re not really embracing the whole “villain on your own team” schtick until you start chucking shots at your own basket during the game. Imagine the ink you’d get for scoring more points for the opponent than anyone on their own squad! You’d be controversial!! Any publicity is good…

That Vanderbilt player got hit so hard he’s going to have to transfer to Florida to pass any of his classes.

Does the technician get to affix a little sticker of a fighter jet to the outside of his toolbox now?

Sugar-Free Chick-O-Sticks.

At first I was appalled at the tendency of MLS teams to ape European naming conventions (DC United, Real Salt Lake, etc.), then I was amused, and now I fervently pray that the expansion club run by Precourt will be called “PSV Austin”.

At some point if I’m a pass rusher, I’m thinking, “I’m probably going to get a flag here no matter what I do. I should knock this guy out for the entire season and make this penalty count.”

I bet Jimmy Butler could turn this Kings team around.

32 oz of Toll House and a Z-pak from CVS will cost you less and taste better than that jar up there.

My cat doesn’t argue with this headline; he’s always been more of a Catsader Kings II kind of feline.

“Oh, so we HAVE to trade you by Friday? Pity the only takers look like they’ll be Atlanta or Sacramento. Miami? Nooo, I think it’ll take far more than four days to hammer out a trade to somewhere you want to go...”

It is breathtaking to imagine how the balance of power would have shifted had the Giants taken Gurley.

You can see clearly at 0:38 that Cousins comes down with all his weight onto Bennett. This absolutely should be a foul of roughing the rusher.

Luckily for Texas voters, one of the valid IDs is a card stating that you have a gun hidden somewhere on your person.
