I'm on the nerds' side of the "old school" vs. "sabrmeticians" baseball debate, but teams valuing "grit" over production is just stupid. No one can grind over a 162 game season (plus camp, plus post-season); you're either going to wear down real fast or you're going to take games off. Gibson played in less than 60% of…

"Russian Red"? What the fuck is wrong with Spanish pop stylists? Did they just give up on this one?

"Notice anything else interesting?"

That is helpful and restores my faith in Vegas.

I had the same question. Bronco fans I would expect or if L.A. had a team (other than the Raiders; Vegas has a lot of Mormons and they just don't hold with the Raiders), but the Cowboys are the lazy man's team ("What NFL team do you like?" "Ummm, I don't know; maybe the Cowboys?")

Like I said, it is a weak defense. I think all mascots are dumb and meaningless, so if someone feels they are offensive, they should be changed.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Maybe Cummings and Bostwick really have learned their lessons and will go on from here to be outstanding citizens and leaders of men. Maybe Will Muschamp is just another in a long-line of sanctimonious, self-interested SEC football coaches. Only time will tell.

I totally agree that the Indians need to change their mascot. However, in weak defense of the Daily News, "Indians" is "only" an ethnic misnomer, while "Redskins" is a racist term. Oh, and also: Dan Snyder is a total dick.

The fucking Tallahassee police fucked this situation up so totally that there will never be a legitimate resolution. Winston, FSU, and, most importantly, the alleged victim will forever suffer the repercussions of the police's failure to do even the most basically adequate investigation ("failure" at best; at worst,…

You mentioned them in your intro, but UPS drivers are easily the most dangerous things on the road. They are worse than drunk teenagers trying to sext their "girlfriends" while driving.

Given its a Fox "News" affiliate, it was probably eau du toilette and the guy is just shocked that it was really 107 today.

The assistant ref missed all kinds of stuff in the Everton box. As you point out, the Costa goal was probably okay, but the guy's flag didn't even twitch. Ivanovic's was clearly off-side. And Howard was well outside the goal box when he picked up a ball, which should have been a PK and probably a red card on Howard…

Replace every instance of "Redskin" in this with "nigger" and tell me it makes any sense.

"taxpayers would have to foot the bill for "land and infrastructure improvements.""

I think the major issue with Native American mascots is that reducing a culture to a "mascot" is demeaning. There is no longer any Viking culture among Scandinavians. But there are still Native American cultures within the U.S. and to make them stand-ins for a team/city involved in a meaningless sports exhibition is…

I had fried cheese curds at a county fair in southern Wisconsin. My uncle gave me one and I thought "Oh my! Jesus has returned and He's in my mouth!" I got into the line to buy my own; the line was fairly long (30 people). My experiences while in line should have been all the warning I needed: after watching people…

Mine did.

Yes, but criticizing professional athletes for doing dumb stuff that costs them money is an effort in futility. It's been happening since athletes became a thing ("Hey Theodorus; nice Olympic performance! Here's some wine and virgins, but don't party too much; you've got a big race tomorrow and if you win, Senator…

Let's be honest: a realistic profile of Blatter is just the Cliff Notes of Bram Stoker's Dracula, which has already been done. So FIFA Weekly just went a different direction.
