Murphy is one of the underrated steroid victims. He was a two time MVP, beloved by an entire region of the country, and a choir boy off the field. He had the misfortune of aging like a normal human being right as the steroid era got going, and his incredible numbers and shortish career started to look poor in…

The 1986 postseason is arguably the greatest postseason in baseball history. Not just the World Series, but the Astros-Mets NLCS was insane, and the Red Sox-Angels ALCS was terrific, and has a tragic postscript.

30 for 30, originally, was supposed to be about under-covered stories or different angles of seemingly familiar ones. And some of my favorites are still of that type, but I think the success of The U changed the focus, which is a shame. The U is one of my least favorites, as its just a fan film about how awesome Miami…

It's one of my favorite bits of comedy in recent years. It hits disturbingly close to home, as the father of a 4 year old girl and obsessive pop culture nerd who notes when the same voice actors appear on different Nick Jr shows, much to the Posette's annoyance.

Election is great, but I'll take Wild as her best performance. Though, to be fair, Laura Dern steals every scene she's in. Because, ya know, she's Laura Dern.

Not sure its better than the Wire, but it is in that company. The Prisoner is legitimately amazing.

Why did we all start taking fashion advice from Jeremy Piven?

For the life of me, I can't understand why being excited over seeing Guns n fucking Roses for the 1st time in 20 years makes a person objectively horrible. Are you kidding me?!

Oh, the competitive arrangements are an entirely different ball of wax. You can't do those at football games, as competitive marching band requires huge props as a required component. I have to admit, I enjoy high level Texas high school marching band contest. It is gloriously over the top.

Yeah, it's so time consuming and so much of that time is spent on, well, marching. There's not a whole lot of musical instruction going on there. It's the thing they have to do in order to keep their actual stage performance curriculum alive. Also, and this is where I rely on her expertise, a lot of marching band…

My wife is a band director and really, one of the driving forces behind music education in Texas is that schools treat it like sports. TMEA is a big competition and the schools are receive ratings for their programs that are posted on a public website. You can look up any school's scores. Band directors have been able…

"Dude, we're in the suburbs. If the stadium wasn't here, this would be a mini mall. Or, ya know, still a parking lot."

At least the Gym Dawgs are great. Or used to be. Brittney Rogers just made the Canadian Olympic team, so there's that.

It's more the failure to see the whole picture. Hoops stat guys make this big deal about how smart they are because they realize 3 points is worth more than 2, so teams should shoot more 3's. And eFG% climbed from a league average of around .490 to today's .500, forming the basis of the argument that today's offenses…

Well, that's because they can't be profitable. They are non-profits, so they have to come up with really creative ways to hide the money. That's how we get the gold-plating of college athletic facilities at Power 5 schools. You have revenues in the tens maybe even hundreds of millions, you don't pay the labor, and you…

No way I was missing a legit out-of-state Model UN trip for a regular season basketball game. It wasn't even an in-county game. Still had to run laps.

Also, hooligans aren't really sports fans. They are organized gangs. This would be like blaming a drive by shooting on football fans if the shooter was wearing a Raiders cap. Yes, some gangs use sports teams iconography and clothing, but they aren't sports fans in the sense of the guy who obsessively follows the team.…
