A healthy distance from the sports it covers would be nice, or at least honesty when it comes to those connections (author's bios always pointing out if/when they played and who they played for).

"Little girl immediately signed by Milwaukee Bucks"

because he probably read it and saw that it came off sounding different then he meant it.

In his defense, he might have been trying to ask why this wasn't rape. - EDIT saw this was posted a few times.

I'm not a legal expert, but isn't this rape, not sexual assault?

A high class joke about Russian history.

Good thing his fiancee is female or this would be a distraction.

This guy knows that you can still buy pens and pencils on any corner, right? http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/pens-a…

The Brewers currently rank 10th in the Major Leagues in the majors and average over 33,000/game. Not the highest numbers, but they also play in the smallest market in baseball.

Banning shifts seems like the equivalent of a ban on forcing a right-handed basketball player to go left. In fact it is. The best players will learn and eventually the pull hitters will become less valuable.

+12, or is 13 now?

That's an important point that is not brought up enough.

I hate defending the NCAA, but the age limit is enforced by the NBA. In fact, the NBA is now encouraging players to play in the D-League for a year.

The 12th Man makes sense. 1) Seattle loves itself and wants everyone to know how great it thinks it is. 2) I stopped buy player jerseys in soccer because players came and went. I wouldn't be surprised to see more non-player jerseys in other sports become popular.

What bothers me the most is not his homophobia. It's the cowardice. He's too afraid of getting a few questions by the media. Homophobia will only go away once people stand up to it.

You had me at "No One Likes Jim Boeheim"

I'm glad Jezebel picked this up. A lot of sites aren't. Could you imagine the media shitstorm that would ensue if someone on the right said something like this? Holy shit.

See, that's how Orlando gets you. They invite you in to see some Magic and then, BOOM, you get the Predators.
