“Ichiro could hit for power if he wanted to” has always been one of my favorite baseball urban legends, up there with Josh Gibson being better than Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle could have been so much better if he didn’t tear his ACL, X player was actually drunk/hungover/tripping balls when they did that thing.

Drew: Ooooh, AAU ball! That’s the one where they play basketball outside of school! With the shoes and everything! SPOOKY.

Jeez, Sean. What the hell? You're NOT supposed to make eye contact with them! Just keep walking!

I don’t know what you saw, but one man making fun of another’s dead mom counts as a rivalry to me.

Ron Howard: Hey, let’s go inside the LEM. You want to?

Holy shit, is that English?

I used to think that there was no circumstance under which I’d be happy to see Stephen A. Smith and Chris Broussard on my TV, but, Christ, tennis is the worst sport to watch.

Some players are overpaid (most of the guys on this list) and others are underpaid in relation to their worth.

Donald Sterling: (checks Twitter)

Winter is

Take it easy. That’s obviously not Chris Broussard. Must be some intern.

I spent about 30 seconds trying to figure out how the fuck Joakim Noah reminds you of a dead, ultra-conservative Supreme Court justice. And then I got who you were referring to.

Jezebel sucks
