It is time we stop singing any patriotic songs at sports games. No other country sings their national anthem before every single (non-international) sporting event no matter how inconsequential. God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch just plain sucks.  

This is just like when my wife gets mad at me about a dream she had. I don’t know the solution, but I definitely recognize the problem.

You forgot Plenty. Plenty O’Toole.

Spoiler alert: he is not.

A few days ago Burke said he was going to be upset if he had to use his game 7 tix, so I guess the laws of logic say he should be happy today?

If they don’t want it to go to trial, and they don’t want their daughters to be put on the stand, why the hell are they claiming Not Guilty? Jesus, people are stupid.

Once again, John Cooper can't win a big game in Columbus. 

She’s right. It’s disgusting. Regardless of whether or not you “soil” your undergarments (seriously?) or they smell bad, you still have bacteria and fecal matter in your underwear.  

To be fair, if there is ever a tornado bearing down on Michael Wilbon, I also hope that no one tells him.

If I could put one player into the Hall of Fame, just to make me happy. Not about deserving or some larger issue, it would just make me happy, it would be Minnie Miñoso. I love Minnie.

Christians are bad 

The Rays exceed expectations almost every year and made a World Series in 2008! I don’t know how these Tampa fans think they’ve earned the “woe is me” treatment 

Y’all have won both a Stanley Cup and Super Bowl in the last ~16 years

Golf is the republican party of sports. You got rich assholes playing and wannabe rich assholes cheering them on.

They’re so toast, Jim Nantz carries their picture around in his wallet.

He also just won a big golf tournament.

This is good advice in general.
