I grew up in New Hampshire and now live in Upstate New York, I’m a lifelong Sox fan too and I agree completely with this. Nothing like reading MLB news about the ceremony for Papi’s final spring training game! <considers drinking bleach>

This guy gets it.

Well, nothing is more insufferable than Kiper’s draft talk. The Jeter think pieces were awful though. Hagiography after hagiography from hack after hack. And let's not forget this gem: http://deadspin.com/a-more-honest-…

My favorite storyline for the year: Will David Ortiz’s farewell tour be as insufferable as Jeter’s, or will he manage to make it MORE insufferable?

Well said. I think things just skew so far because of hyperbole. So with Mad Max it becomes THE MOST AMAZING FILM EVER! YOU HAVE TO SEE IT BECAUSE YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE! And with say, Batman v Superman (which I loved by the way) the film is SO DARK AND JOYLESS WIH SO MUCH GRIT. I DO NOT CARE FOR GRIT HOW DARE THEY NOT…

Holy shit, what if Minor League Guy is the one who hacked the Astros?!

A Modest Proposal: everyone talks about Denver winning behind Peyton Manning’s corpse right? How about instead of a young fresh quarterback they dig up an actual Hall of Famer’s corpse?
