Trump no more knows the anthem’s lyrics any more than Ronald Reagan knew the lyrics to We Shall Overcome when he got corralled into a group sing on the White House lawn with the cameras rolling. Being a trained actor, he faked it pretty well, too. But outside the chorus that everyone knows, he was always a half beat…

To be fair to Sarah Huckabilly: she initially intended to use the fast breaking, upside-down, melted-cheese-on-a-hamburger story to illustrate her pointless point, but FOX “news” double-crossed her, and ran with the story first in an altogether different context. She was understandably pissed, and, as usual when she…

I remember thinking I’d never again see any Niner teams suck as badly as those that immediately pre-dated the Bill Walsh era. Then the Yorks took over after Eddie D. was busted. They simply lacked his passion and football acumen, and were far more sensible where their wallets were concerned. So, after they took…

“The sticking point, according to Breer, was Garoppolo’s desire to, you know, actually play meaningful football before he becomes eligible to collect Social Security”.

“Baseball became an American institution..”.

“..like every other United States sports league and corporation, recognizes its future economic well-being rest on appealing to the growing Latino audience”.

Casey Stengel would say, “Can’t anyone around here run this league”?

If the Pats sign Kaep, it will be a clear indication that Bob Kraft and Jerry Jones are in a competition to see who will drive who into an early grave. Recall that Kraft was the grinning buddha in the recent meeting where Jones tapped his inner Bull Connor in demanding a crackdown on protesters and was yawned down;…

Congratulations, Andrew Luck. May you take all that you’ve earned, and earned the the hard way, too, and enjoy a long and healthy retirement.

“Ernie Lunardelli told NJ.com he’d informed superiors he would not officiate any game where players demonstrated during the national anthem”.

I tend to think a manager who was also an ex-catcher might have dismissed Morrow’s claim as dubious, more a a case of World Series fever. Of course he wanted in the game. It’s not only the friggin’ World Series, but was evident at that point it was one of the greatest games ever played in World Series history. He…

Game over. I almost feel sorry for the Dodgers.. I don’t, of course. But they’ll all be able to brag they played in that game, or even road the pine in the dugout. I’ve seen the lions share of all the World Series since 1964, and damn, what a game.

John Smoltz said he thought The Astros 1st inning challenge was worthy, and I don’t care if he is a Hall of Famer. I know both teams have an extra challenge throughput the series, too, but it was glaringly obvious that all the Astros were doing was prolonging their agony.

“No kidding” that J.Edgar would not hesitate to forge a document to cover his ass, too.

So, Ickey Woods was right all along.

In a prison movie prison warden McNair would order a lockdown, and vow to break the ringleaders as a lesson to the others.

Yup, Smith provoked another athlete all the way to the bank. To quote the great Scotty Moore on what it was like playing guitar behind Elvis, “It beat picking cotton”.

“McElwain met with Florida administrators this morning, but details of his departure are currently unknown”.

I say give the spotlight loving big shot all the rope he wants. Reconnect the twit to twitter for the sake of the historical record, too, if nothing else.

In baseball that’s called taking one for the team.
