Well, at least it’s not CTE.

“This gift, it’s shear genius!,” Ovechkin muttoned.

These guys both seem like yobs. Hardly fair that only one of them gets stuck with the name.

Ta-Nehisi Coates needs an editor like Jason Whitlock needs a hole in the donut.

A sock with legs? What’s next, a shirt with arms?
