According to legend, that beating lasted so long that they had to commission a brand new stanza for that zany Benny Hill theme to ensure the second half of the highlight reel wasn’t just silence.

Anybody who claims this is political correctness run amok hasn’t ever had to deal with being stereotyped or having your heritage/beliefs caricatured. The Native American drumbeat actual represents the heartbeat and is used in religious ceremonies. As a Catholic, I wouldn’t want fans at a sporting event to turn a

And on the NL side, it was pretty screwy that Chris Sabo won over Mark Grace, even though Grace nearly bat .300 (25 points higher than Sabo) and had more RBIs. More than 30 years later, I’m still trying to understand that.

Campanile will take over a team that is currently ranked 124th in the country in total offense per game, so, you know, good luck with that.” So what’s the alternative? To not go with an interim coach at all and have the players coach themselves? 

Football games should end after the first score, like the old overtime rule. It would prevent a lot of injuries and in the case of college football might result in Alabama losing to a FCS team.

I’m super confused. Why was he pointing up, hopping around, and shrugging instead of immediately scrambling for the ball? I could understand if he were baffled and couldn’t figure out where the ball was, but he was doing all of this after it was clear he knew where it was.

There’s a silly ND fan (probably one of the mothers of the players) who claps when she accidentally made the shot, obviously not understanding that it sealed Notre Dame’s fate.

Um...if this was fake, surely the WWE wouldn’t have cut away so that we’d have to rely on crappy phone recordings to see the action. 

It sounds like he asked, “Wanna trade shirts, my homie?”

162 homers? I’m not impressed. After opening day back in 1994, Tuffy Rhodes was on pace to hit 486 homers.

I can’t imagine that this was a one-time prank. Had it been, I’m sure it would have quickly been resolved with an, “Okay, you had your fun. I’d like to be reimbursed now” and nothing else would have come of it. So either Bell did it again thinking the joke was still somehow hilarious, or he lied by denying that he did

I agree. When I think of USC, I think an overpriced party school that is best known for cheating at football. Regardless, boasting that you have a bachelor’s degree from anywhere does nothing for a person’s status. Status really only comes from getting a PhD, master’s degree or JD from a top-ranked university.

In regards to robbing home runs, it should be noted that since the 1990s (especially with the emergence of new ballparks) the trend has been shorter fields and shorter walls. The walls at multipurpose concrete donuts like the Astrodome, Three Rivers Stadium, Veteran,and Busch Stadium were too high to rob home runs.

Regarding the Cubs’ larger fan base compared to the White Sox, the truth is a bit of yes and no. Surveys have found that among those born in Chicago, the Cubs and White Sox fan bases are actually split evenly. But those who were born outside of Chicago (such as myself) are far more likely to adopt the Cubs as their
