My wife and I did the good cop/bad cop thing, with her being the bad cop who simply stated what she thought was done as fact and went from there. Me, on the other hand, gave them a fair hearing, allowed them to bullshit me, knowing that it didn’t matter as judgement and punishment was already a fait accompli. Thank…

I had a roommate who was a smoker but our agreement was that he would only do it outside, not in the apartment. I was biking home from work one day and kept getting passed by fire engines with lights and horns going full blast. Got to my building and there was smoke billowing out of my apartment. Roomie was just…

Avenatti is a piece of shit but he was right about Cohen and cheeto. Just as POS Jose Canseco was right about the steroids.

One thing for sure, nobody is bribing Liberty’s athletic departments in order to get their kids into the school.

I approve of that message. --Bobby Knight

That headline--replace "Robert Kraft" with "all humanity" 

The comparison between Kareem’s demand to be traded and Davis doing a similar move sounds like a fair comparison until you realize that Abdul-Jabbar wanted out of Milwaukee (totally understandable) but Davis wants out of NOLA.

I used to live next door to this guy who sounded like an 80s comic impersonation of a gay voice. He was consistent with it until one morning as I went out to get my paper and he was standing there, in his robe, sleepily watching his little dog do his business.

“...this classic Big Ten rivalry”

The biggest reason for long games is the constantly inconsistent balls and strikes calls from the umps. Either find a mechanical system to do the job or replace the old guys who can’t cut it anymore. The idea that umpiring is akin to being a Supreme Court Justice with a lifetime appointment is absurd. When players can…

This old world’s confusing me.
With clouds as mean as you’ve ever seen
Ain’t a bird who knows your tune.
Then a little voice inside you Whispers,
Kid don’t sell your dreams, so soon

I guarantee that an entitled asshole who tries to engage the players, in any pro sport, is an avid listener to sports talk radio.

I understand how the relationship between reporters and players works. Sometimes you have to ask the tough question, but asking him if he was upset and also, if he thought things could have turned out better if he had a better spring was just not needed.

North Branch wins the team title.

“...good luck to whoever pays THAT next contract.”

On the sunnier side, all of Mario Batali’s former restaurants have recently removed any and all ties between him and their ownership groups.

If you can watch Smith go through his act completely, with the sound on, you are a better man than I.
