If the future of baseball is short guys, I’m all for that. If it’s short, balding guys (looking at you, Dustin Pedroia), then I have a shot.

Agree. I think the NFL can save us all a lot of time and just start the playoffs now at the conference round with KC-NE and LAR-NO. I can’t wait for the Superbowl in a couple of weeks in Mexico City.

I watched most of the game but missed that celebration. I say, if you earn it on the field, then go for it. Also, this is what clinched it for me:

I came for the Harper links (harperlinks). Was not disappointed.

Maybe I’m just a Celtics homer but I think Morris got the best of that exchange.

The form on the turnaround 3 looks awful, a heave, but the ball handling on the stepback jumper is surprising and real. Can’t wait to see him playing on a floor that doesn’t make me dizzy.

Alex Ovechkin right now is shaking his damn Russian head.

Check the tape. There was fan interference with that beer tossed to Mookie.

Oddly the Pats seem to shun defenders whenever they show promise. I know it’s all some ingenious plan that mortals can’t understand, but Bellichick showed the door to Vince Wilfork, Chandler Jones, Darrelle Revis, Jamie Collins, Malcolm Butler. 

I would gladly trade the Boogermobile for an analyst who can properly explain in real time how the 1-point safety works.

I keep two bowls behind the door. One is for cute kids in costumes. The other — featuring necco wafers and all manner of chalky or healthy crap — comes out for teenagers with a backpack and no costume.

I know you all came here for a dildo-related story, but I was fascinated by one play where the Patriots two-point attempt was intercepted and then fumbled.

He lost to a Spas.

You know who doesn’t hold all the cards? Craig Kimbrel. What happened to him this postseason?

Good point. Like Mike Lowell in 2007.

While we’re doing this, I should say that as a lifelong Boston homer I was totally happy for the Eagles after their Superbowl win despite my disappointment that the Pats couldn’t finish.

Players from the whole world? At least DR, Venezuela, Cuba, and Japan-- the countries that count in baseball.

Machado striking out repeatedly was delicious.

When radical white Christian terrorists strike, we need to ask: where were they radicalized? 

Auto-complete and auto-correct will not even let me type the phrase “Jets-Raiders AFC Championship game.”
