Lest we forget... And only drafted by the Dodgers as a favor to his wealthy father.

Welp, it sounds like Stephen’s either a sex addict or a virgin...

No matter how bad the song is, it’s not worse than the intro montage full of Carrie’s flamingo strut. She and Taylor Swift can just retire that fuckin’ move already. We know those two are awkward as shit, they just need to own that awkwardness and stop trying to convince us their sex appeal lies in the way they move…

I assume he talks too much, but I at least appreciate his role segueing into games. It just baffles me how much live sports TV announcers talk. Baseball and soccer announcers have a flow and know their roles pretty well, but those calling football and basketball just refuse to STFU ever.

God, they sound like the type of rich, American assholes who know they’re cultured because they’ve exclusively dined on overpriced white-linen meals in NY/LA for the past two decades. She’s right, though, Reggio Emilia isn’t Venice or Rome, it’s two hours from one and four from the other. Kinda like Pittsburgh in…

All we need to know about ESPN (and other sports broadcasters) is that their response to declining sports TV ratings seems to be “Add more broadcasters/reporters/studio “talent” and graphics during live sports broadcasts.”

Based on my experiences with Comcast, I’m guessing Olivia and Tucker will make plans to meet at her place, he won’t show, she’ll call and he’ll promise to be there soon, she’ll call again and he’ll promise to be there soon, she’ll call and he’ll say he knocked on the door even though she knows he didn’t, they’ll…

The key here is that the new format makes it more likely that soccer/sports fans who don’t follow the MLS closely will latch on to a quick, single-elimination playoff full of do-or-die matches. When you’ve got two-legged conference semifinals, it’s not easy to get someone who doesn’t have a rooting interest to tune in…

I’m gonna side with the person who describes Bayern Munich as a “perennial powerhouse” over the one who thinks that BM can’t be considered a perennial powerhouse anymore because 44% of the way through a season in which it is aiming for its 7th consecutive Bundesliga title it has merely placed first in its Champions…

If the flag was thrown for the minimal contact during the catch attempt, that’s weak, but it looked fairly obvious upon replay that Griffin grabbed Pettis by the hips as he made his cut inside (you can even see Pettis get twisted and try to shrug off that contact).

“I didn’t choose to be conservative,” says man who literally gets to choose whether or not to be conservative at least every other year for his adult life.

I was born in ‘82, began following baseball in ‘89 and also collected baseball cards, so I basically thought anyone who made one All-Star team was great. At no point have I been under the impression Harold Baines was really good, much less an eventual HOF inductee.

By my count, 203 of his 209 career home runs were game-winning HRs against the Giants and just under half of them came against Tim Lincecum.

I’m just curious how long it’ll be before Nick ages enough to not look like a guy who married his first boss or his former babysitter.

I’m glad others beat me to it, but I’ve yet to have any IKEA furniture that doesn’t last. Bed frames, mattresses, a computer hutch I’ve had since college, a DIY standing desk extension I put together with extremely cheap end tables and a wall shelf, etc. And it’s all stuff that was cheap and assembled by me. None of…

- Have the Jags start Blake Bortles or Cody Kessler at QB

Nobody who knows Notre Dame’s schedule is weak will have their mind changed, but its strength of schedule is 34th according to ESPN and 40th according to Sagarin, Oklahoma’s is 27th/31st, Alabama’s is 50th/44th, and Clemson’s is 47th/48th. Alabama and Clemson each played one FCS program.

Preseason rankings shouldn’t exist. They should wait a month before voting begins. Bowl games are enjoyable end to the season, though I agree the playoff should expand, but I say only to eight teams.

I’ve got two, both while in college (of course):

I buy a pack of bologna approximately once a year when I have a nostalgia/cold-fueled craving for bologna and cheese sandwiches. Last night happened to be my annual bologna trip to the grocery store, after which my dinner was a B&C sandwich dipped into Campbell’s vegetable beef stew and washed down with a glass of…
