John “Take Politics Out of Football” Elway wrote a letter on Broncos letterhead endorsing Neil Gorsuch for SCOTUS. That guy can get fucked.

If people haven’t read this article from Mizzou journalism students who were in town, you need to:

FYI, I’m pretty sure The Grove (if it’s the neighborhood on Manchester between I-44 and Hwy 40) is also the main gayborhood in the city. At least it was five or six years ago.

If anything, that 1967 season was almost as crazy. He got his leg broken in July that year and came back in time to be the World Series MVP.

I think the rumor I always heard growing up was that he was sleeping with somebody’s wife. But I might be getting that mixed up with Harry Caray and Auggie Busch’s wife, so who knows.

It’s still unfathomable to me that St. Louis traded him straight up, the year after his first 20 win season, for Rick Wise. You’re going to trade your left handed, 26 year old, 20 game winner, 3 time All Star, for Rick Wise? Of course, he goes out and wins the Cy Young the very next season.

John Lackey just flipped the fuck out in Chicago and got ejected, along with his catcher. How bad was the call? I’m watching on gameday and I don’t trust MLB to show me true.

He turns 70 in December, which is mandatory retirement age in Missouri. He doesn’t give a fuck, which is why he had no problem letting that racist killer cop walk.

Here’s a link to the order from the judge:

Wow, I really am an idiot, thanks. I don’t know how, but I must’ve thought WWI took place in 1908 today.

Hey now, they also had the decaying lungs of Christy Matthewson still on that team, playing his last season before the mustard gas finally finished him off.

They might have to state it that way to avoid a constitutional challenge. There’s some school free speech cases that say that speech can only be restricted if it disrupts the learning environment. If they went in the media and said “We’re banning it because it’s racist,” then they just gave the loser-flag-wearing…

Man, am I the only one who likes Paul Bettany for being creepy/funny/talented in Gangster No. 1, A Knight’s Tale, and Master and Commander?

There’s two trade deadlines, the non-waiver deadline on July 31 and the waiver/postseason deadline on August 31. If you want to make a trade in August, the player that’s being traded has to pass through waivers, which gives shittier clubs a chance to block the trade.

That is the 26th(!) one-run game the Cardinals have lost this year, by the way. Only Philadelphia has lost more.

Man, I loved all-glove, no-hit, oft-injured Tom Pagnozzi as a kid. Probably because a relative gave me a stuffed teddy bear in a Cards jersey that I named “Pags” when I was a small child after I was ringbearer in his wedding. I thought he was better than Darren Daulton AND Benito Santiago COMBINED.

Aren’t the Iggles paying Chase Daniel like $15M to backup Wentz as well?

Aw, now you made me remember that Jonathan Brandis committed suicide and Roy Scheider is dead.

The Brew Crew moved to the NL in 1998 so that Selig’s daughter could tap into that sweet Cubs money, since White Sox fans didn’t travel to Milwaukee. The Astros moved to the AL in 2013 because Bud Selig wanted interleague play every day

The poor, departed glove was finally laced to rest.
