I heard this too and it seems reasonable on its face, but those committees usually include a lot of existing HOF players and those guys are typically reluctant to add to their club (most recent VCs have inducted either nobody or a bare minimum of former players), plus they hate steroid guys even more than the most…

The word "stable" doesn't belong anywhere near the people in this story.

I have no idea how much knowledge Beadle had of Mayweather's history - though she probably should have had some - but I think it's a little naive to crush her for, what? Not getting up in Mayweather's face on live television about his history of violence against women? I'm sure that would have gone super well. If…

So if he wasn't trying to say or even imply that women can provoke domestic violence, maybe he should just be fired for being terrible at communicating, since using words to communicate effectively is his only job.

The line about "stranded all alone in the gas station of love and I have to use the self-service pumps" from "One More Minute" also deserves calling out as probably the most risque innuendo of Al's career.

I was a little young for the original song (which came out when I was a year old) and for a long time I had no idea that "I Lost on Jeopardy" was even a parody.

Yeah, the vast majority were super awkward looking.

They haven't, although the award has only been handed out since either 1978 or 1982 (Wikipedia seems conflicted on which one). Diego Forlan won the Golden Ball in 2010 despite losing in the semis, which was the first time it went to someone who wasn't in the final. But it's funny how over the last two decades it…

Dang, you beat me to it! This sentence in particular - "Have you downloaded the LeBron app to your smart phone yet?" - was tailor-made for Drunk Uncle.

Leitch is from Mattoon, so I assume he's not making this mistake.

Guzan is pretty decent but he already turns 30 this year, so he's no spring chicken himself. Beyond that, I'm not sure. Goalkeeper always seems like the one position we don't really have to worry about, though.

I lost picture on ESPN on my actual television shortly after halftime and was forced to watch almost the whole second half on Univision. This doesn't appear to have affected most people so I guess it was some weird issue with my cable provider?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I actually defended it at the time, but it did make him pretty unpopular with a lot of people, even then.

Who would have predicted after the intentional handball against Ghana that within four years it would barely still be in the top five list of worst things Luis Suarez has done on a soccer field?

It'll probably be Colombia, if you're referring to Uruguay's Round of 16 opponent.

Yep. And soccer features a ball that is almost constantly moving, while football features a ball that spends most of its time sitting on the ground waiting to be briefly picked up. I like the NFL too but you can't tell me that's more exciting than soccer!

The whole "trailing by five goals with ten minutes left" thing may also have muted the celebration.

Okay, so revise it to "You can wear shorts with a suit if you are an eight-year-old British schoolboy in the early 1960s or a middle-aged rock guitarist who dresses like one because it's funny." Relatively short list of exceptions.

I've never heard of a term for that. But it's an immaculate inning for the PITCHER because it represents the fewest number of pitches he can throw to end the inning while not relying on his defense for any of the outs (excluding the catcher).

"Stupid asshole doesn't get how jobs work" would be a clearer headline, I think.
