Where is Crazy Crab?

That’s a good one. My preference is that the team pinch-hit for the next batter with a scrub, who then, regardless of the pitch, just wings his bat at the pitcher.

I was really hoping Wenger would accept the FA Cup and gracefully stroll off into the sunset (or Monaco). Then the next guy could have a year of diminished expectations (Europa League? Yeaaaaah, no) to get the club’s shit together. Oh well.

If any city is going to host the Olympics on its own, L.A. is that city. It will be cheaper to do it there than anywhere else, given that (as you point out) it already has a good many of the venues. A decent transit system is the only thing missing.

Adam, your article relies heavily on a source named “Dr. Billy Goldberg”. How do you expect us to take seriously anything except suggested LSD dosages for groovy experiences from a “Dr. Billy”?

If a tree falls in the woods and Curt Schilling is not there to hear it, it didn’t fall UNLESS that tree is a patriot that believes in all the white things - excuse me, you misunderstood me - “right things” like ‘Murica, guns, men being men, Hillary being a crook, tax reduction, etc. In that case, the tree did fall…

I love baseball and my wife hates it. She thinks baseball players are the stupidest pro athletes (we don’t watch hockey and she doesn’t follow international soccer, so she doesn’t realize her data set is non-representative). Its nice, therefore, for me to hear a player be thoughtful and clear on an important topic.

Its become very clear over the past few seasons that the NBA has become a three-tiered league. The bottom rung are the eternally hopeless franchises like the Kings, the 76ers, the Knicks, the Nets, the Hornets, plus whatever mid-level teams that are going through a rough patch. The mid-level are the teams that are…

“the NBA has a higher concentration of awful team nicknames than any other pro sport”

The biggest dagger in the heart of the “Jeets was all about winning” argument is his refusal to slide over to 3rd when A-Rod showed up. He forced the greatest shortstop of all time* and arguably the greatest player of all time* to change positions so he could maintain his self-delusion of being a great shortstop. …

I don’t think NCAA rules allow schools to cover medical costs of their - ahem - “student athletes.” Its part of the fiction they use to avoid paying them as employees (which they absolutely are in all ways except pay): unless the school offers complete medical coverage for injuries suffered by any student during a…

This is the same way I burrow under the covers when I go to bed.

Yes, pretty much every day is a great day for Betsy DeVos. Unless she (or her husband or dad) makes a monumentally bad investment decision, she ends every day a little wealthier than she started.

I disagree: Comey was doing his job badly.

God, there are just so many. I think it really comes down to either (1) throwing an alley-oop pass for Eric Wright to dunk during garbage time (or, as I called it, “my time”) in a high school blowout or (2) spotting Ron Zenker when he benched 515 lbs. in college.

If they keep this up, home attendance will plummet.

I think I agree with you. He wasn’t a depressing player, his story is depressing because he was really good with a very bright future, but (as you said) his body gave out way too young. In some ways, more depressing than the Greg Odeon tragedy because Roy had the chance to actually show what he could do at the…

This is overhyped. Tim Tebow has stigmata, just like Christ. They’re always bleeding.

Theodoric of York was a medieval barber.

With all the young (extremely expensive) arms going bust in the league, why don’t more teams employ Mike Marshall’s pitching conditioning system? Dude was known as “Iron Mike” for a reason during his playing days and he has a Ph.D. in kineisology. Per his Wikipedia page:
