There was the obvious feeling that Ewing was being looked over because of his race, and surely there is some truth to that, but we will never know how much.

I’ve regularly questioned the depth and frequency of Simmons bashing around here, but sweet fucking Mary mother of God: that quote.

Everybody Beats the Wiz

I agree one billion percent. I think it sucks that Bruce is gonna get ABs that Con-four-for-four-to needs to be getting.

+1, +3, +7, +51 . . .

[A] division title is off in the extreme distance if the land mines implanted in the arms of each Mets pitcher all detonate at once (not impossible), and if the Nats choke like the choking chokers they are.

Unfortunately most are shy about offering their opinion on these things and generally prefer not to identify themselves as lawyers, so you are probably out of luck here.

This Sunday’s WrestleMania is not your father’s . . .

On the plus side, if you are a woman dining at a restaurant and Mike Pence walks in without his wife, it would appear you now have a guaranteed way of getting him to leave. For that, and for that alone, I envy you.

I disagree. Both the prosecutor and the league determined that he neither assaulted nor threatened to assault his wife. He got drunk and belligerent - to the point that his wife felt the need to call the police - so clearly he was out of line and a punishment was in order. But two separate investigations exonerated…

Always a risky move to name something after a beloved but still living figure. Just ask the kids at the William H. Cosby School for Girls and the folks who have to commute through the Jerry Sandusky Bus Depot.

Got it. So the new rule just changes the time within which these specific “actions to conserve time” result in a 10-second runoff, i.e., from one minute left in the half to two minutes left in the half. Thanks! 

15. By Competition Committee; Makes actions to conserve time illegal after the two-minute warning of either half.

When you ask Ley for his stance on steroids in sports, he’ll “Just Say Noah.”

Shit, that sucks. Though, if anyone should’ve been able to prevent having his company’s name leaked, you’d think it’d be the roof guy.

I was absolutely terrified of Cookie Puss when I was a little kid. Fuck that monstrosity. You want me to eat that thing? Hell and no.

The Mets tried to trade one or both of Jay Bruce and Curtis Granderson this offseason to make room for an outfield of Conforto, Lagares and Cespedes from right to left. Presumably this is because the Mets believed that the outfield of Conforto, Lagares and Cespedes from right to left gave them the best chance to win…

YEAH BUT THERE IS GONNA BE THREE FEET OF SNOW THIS WEEKEND AND WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE.

Rick Peterson could fix that in 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, the vast majority of us are like, hmmm, those guys are dicks.
