The Wrection family is musically gifted, but I always considered Wandai the Jermaine or Tito of the clan. Of the Wrection brothers I'm surprised this kid prefers Wandai, because even at 13 he looks like he'd find Hugh G. much more palatable.

For when you're closing in:

Isn't paternity, leave already an unspoken policy in the NBA?

Thanks! I've been patting my back ever since!

So Riley Cooper could have avoided this whole incident if he hadn't been so niggardly about paying people off.

NFL players can choose the football helm of their choice, but unless it's Riddell the logo of the company has to be blacked out due to marketing contracts.

I'm curious as to why you say Laurenzi "failed to follow protocol," when the statement he released on 2/28/12 seems to indicate otherwise. Part of the statement reads:

I loved this goddamn thing.

I had this coloring book as a kid. I adored it - and it totally made me watch drag racing.

Reagan was the first to pitch on the field. On the heel of the assassination attempt, the White House canceled the first pitch, but Ronnie went to Baltimore anyway and did the first pitch in the third base dugout area. He was also the first to pitch from the mound, before a Cubs game in 1988 (and he became the first…

You're forgetting "Mother is dead."

"OK OK OK. This, I get."
