“And if it wasn’t for one historically unfortunate decision by a fan in the stands, he’d have taken the Cubs to their first World Series in over 50 years.”

Yeah, they suck, but it’s hard not to be bad when every freaking game is a damn marathon. In 1970, the first year I watched the World Series, the times of the games were 2:24, 2:06, 2:09, 2:26 and 2:35. Watch some video of the games from the 70s (readily available on YouTube). The pitchers got the ball and they threw…

“The coach who began every morning by texting a different Bible passage to his staff invited the scrutiny.”

“For example, he told me that ISIS had crossed the river right here at Brownsville and were caught by the police, but instead of taking them to the station, Obama sent a bus for them and they disappeared.”

Unfortunately, yes, it would be asking too much to ask the wealthy stop bleeding whatever little the poor have left. The 1 percent are like the Grinch, scooping every last little crumb they can fit into their bags.

Upon taking the wheel of Oregon State, Andersen reportedly ran off several popular scholarship players. I’m not naive, it’s what new coaches do, but it’s unseemly and certainly got Andersen off to a poor beginning.

A bunch of gobbledygook. Nowhere in there did I read any mention of writers/contributors making more (if any) money.

Yep!

It’s ironic that Joe Girardi—master of the 4-hour game—was worried about the rhythm of the game.

Coach Petersen was grandstanding when he made that comment. He knows damn well why the games start so late—money. If he wants to forfeit some of his $4.8 million a year salary, then he can talk.

During his stint as Tigers president, Bo Schembechler actually fired Harwell, but fans protested so much that Harwell got his job back.

Pitino is unbelievably sleazy, even by big-time college basketball standards. A greedy, unethical and shameless pig.

OMG! What if there’s another hurricane in Florida. How will I know if Jimmy Johnson’s yacht is safe?

Precisely. You just described my monthly medical routine, but at least I have transportation to the clinic and pharmacy.

Hey man,, haven’t you watched “Father Was A Fullback” starring Fred MacMurray? That’s what college athletics are all about!

I disagree with you on the Siamese twins take. PLENTY of people in America would be outraged that one of the twins masturbated, i.e. Pence, Joel Osteen, Pat Robertson and the like. They would see it as another example of a world gone mad etc.

Thank God for outlets like Deadspin that address the real issues of the NFL in 2017. Over at ESPN, FOX and NBC, and with radio hosts like Rome, Cowherd and Mike and Mike, it’s business as usual—that is 100 percent focused with on the field activity. Instead of eating lobster with Peter King, Goodell should be…

And naturally, all the proudly ignorant FOX News idiots will lap this shit up. Cowher’s agent, I’m sure, is already fielding multiple calls from producers wanting Cowher on their Monday talk shows.

When did New England hire Rob Ryan as defensive coordinator? I must have missed it.

I agree. The real takeaway, again, is that these people have everything and are miserable as fuck. That Trump’s followers—especially Evangelicals—still find these people delightful is truly pathetic.
