Broxton Phillips sounds like the name of the lead singer of fake Disney Channel band that becomes a real Disney Channel band.

I was a kid of the 90s and, though I am an Angels fan, Jeter was always my favorite player. His defense was always overrated (until UZR ratings and the like became popular), but once in a while he would pull a ball out of his ass in the hole and fire it over to first or show up out of position and flip-toss Jeremy

I’d like to congratulate Trevor Hoffman’s son on the success of the alt rock band I assume he fronts in a made-for-TV Disney movie from 1996.

Did you copy and paste this from the Patriot’s post-game injury report for Rob Gronkowski?

You’re right. I think it still is once you get to the Cordes Junction area, though it could probably use some lowering since I have never driven through that area without being slowed by at least one accident.

This was my first reaction. I mean rush hour is tailing off by that point but there is still quite a few cars on the road.

I work very close to this stretch of freeway. The speed limit is 65 mph. The only places near Phoenix where the limit goes up to 75 mph are on stretches of Interstate 10 on the way to Tucson or Los Angeles when you’re outside of large population centers.

Why would you? He played for the Pirates for 80 games before being sent to the Cubs, if memory serves. I am just a sick person who, for whatever reason, feels compelled to defend the legacy of somewhat memorable MLB players from my childhood.

Don’t worry, guys. Dr. Guerrero had Tom soak his hand in a bowl of raw water and wrap it inside of an infrared–emitting cock sock. He’ll be fine by Sunday and play until he’s 86.

The only thing that caught my eye about this comment is referring to Kenny Lofton as a shitty centerfielder. Dude was a perennial all-star and one of the best leadoff men of the 90s. Sure, he was 36 and a shell of his former self by the time he got to the Pirates, but he only played for them for half a season and

...it’s that a pedigreed group of people related to prominent coaches have the barriers to entry lowered almost completely for them.

Rondo’s dig at the Phoenix Suns is so pointless, yet so spot on. I can only assume that it stems from the fact that the Suns traded him away on draft day for what amounted to a bucket of money, which is hilariously petty and I am here for it.

That is all to common, and it’s sad. Even in the Arizona case, the police department has recommended charges but the state AG has yet to file them. AG claims it is because they are waiting for more victims to come forward.

Arizona has pretty strict reporting laws when it comes to teachers/educators with knowledge of child abuse. That led Chandler police to recommend charges against several adults at Hamilton High School in a case similar to this.

No one is arguing Kaep is a pro bowl QB or even a top-15 QB. What is being argued is that he’s vastly more talented and has better proven numbers than at least 10 of the shit sippers brought in to backup or start due to injuries this season. Was he a perfect fit for every team in need of a QB? No. But a team like the

Fuckupcracy?

I had no idea who Dale Scott was before I read this article, which makes me think that he was both an excellent ump and a decent person unlike that bloviating fart bag Joe West.

What was the question? Sorry, I was distracted by the photo of that gumshoe whose on the lookout for Carmen San Diego.

I don’t care what position Stan takes in the administration as long as Jim Tomsula gets to be his body double/Secretary of Sanitation.
