I think the Knicks are trying too... They definitely didn't go into the season planning on tanking.

Rules of Twitter for non-famous people:

Offensive holding is a 10 yard penalty and defensive holding is an automatic first down though. That's one of the bigger ones. I could definitely see coaches challenging a holding penalty a big spot. False starts, on the other hand, would just be a waste of time to challenge.

I think a "shot on goal" is a shot that either goes in or would have gone in, but the goalie stopped it (it might also include shots that hit the post or crossbar, but I'm not sure about that). A "blocked shot" is one that would have been a shot on goal, but a player other than the goalie stopped it.

A few years ago, I went to an event that Keenan Thompson was speaking at (it was billed as a stand up routine, but it was really just him answering audience questions and talking about his career). Someone asked him about what it was like to work with Bill Cosby during the Fat Albert movie. He said us that Cosby told…

I bet the reason the GM exec looked miserable during the 2012 World Series MVP presentation was because Sandoval and the Giants had just beat the Detroit Tigers. Since he works for Detroit-based GM, I'm guessing he was rooting for the Tigers.

I think he's saying that Cooper is mad about interracial marriage, not abortion.

"in that relationship."

Does anybody still honestly think he's going to win another major, let alone 5? I think he'll stick around for a while and occasionally make a decent showing or win some minor tournament that a lot of the top golfers aren't even competing in (which will cue the "Is Tiger back?" headlines), but I don't think he's going…

I know Manziel didn't play great this season in his two starts, but would the Browns really draft a QB in the first round in three out of four seasons?

I'm not at all surprised that Dolan's grammar is like that of a middle school student commenting on YouTube.

After showing NBA fans how they've callously enjoyed the airborne athleticism of, oh I don't know, Tom Brady, without ever considering where all that running and jumping came from; that if it weren't for track and field, Tiger Woods couldn't make it to first base

I'm not really sure when it happened. I vaguely remember hearing about athletes being on the Wheaties box in the mid-1990s, but I haven't heard anything about it in about 15 years (with the lone exception of seeing a photo of a box with Phelps on it when he was in his prime). I don't think it's uncool. I just think…

Whenever there's a debate over best QB ever, people always throw out the same names: Brady, Manning, Montana, Elway, Unitas, and Marino. Occasionally, someone like Favre, Aikman, or Young makes it into the debate. Those are all contenders for the title and while I have my opinion, I don't think there's one right…

Joe Buck is really disappointed in Doug Baldwin.

That's not a real place. Next you're going to try telling me you live in Narnia.

Not to mention that any athlete who can't find an established publication willing to publish him (or who is afraid that they will heavily edit what he writes) can set up their own free blog and post links to it on Twitter. Jeter's idea would have been good 15 years ago. But now it's unnecessary.

I've found that in certain settings (work mostly) it's more acceptable/less rude to glance at a watch than to pull out a cell phone.

The parents of every unvaccinated child who contracts measles should be arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a minor.
