well they are removing headgear from amatuer boxing because it is unsafe. all it does is prevent cutting and makes boxers think they are invincible.

Morey is an occasional guest on the LeBatard show. That this tweet coincided with Dan’s honeymoon is a damn shame. I guess it is nice that Dan isn’t going to get suspended.

I’m legitimately upset that Lukas was let go. Maybe I should have clicked on more of his links from the blog, but for some reason in the past few years I’m more interested in his blog than actual uniform news.

I wouldn’t say that racism doesn’t exist in rugby, but I think you are overstating it a bit. Obviously Exeter needs to change their name, but I feel like I can only name two racist incidents in the last 5 years. Samson Lee being called a gypsy and the Zebo incident. Part of this is probably due to the lack of black…

i think it’s fine as long as the fans are just talking about on-field accomplishments. “We win” or “we lost” is perfectly fine. The moment someone starts using we in reference to front office decisions, the culture of the team, or charity done by the team, I know that person is delusional.

watching the mets makes me feel a lot better about myself than watching the reds

so i’ve always thought this for rugby but I guess it applies to football as well.

Is this the GOP’s plan to get more young women republicans?

yeah roasting people for saying they could get a point off serena was so stupid. LIke I believe I have a .01% of getting a point of her (or federer or nadal), still means I would say yes to that question.

First of all, there should be one of these at least once a week.

well aussie footballers can only really punt.

well the USSF is a private business just like every other football association in the world. Cause that’s how FIFA requires it. The USSF is just another business.

the only good thing about rugby league is state of origin. Players from New South Wales play a three game series against players from Queensland and it happens on Wednesday nights in the middle of the season. Players get pulled from their clubs and it’s considered a huge deal. It’s more of an all star game than the…

so obviously fuck AD for being a piece of shit (and I don’t feel bad for him at all) but something that dawned on me recently (probably should have a lot sooner) is that owners have every incentive for their athletes to be financially illiterate. When it comes to CBAs the owners are able to beat players during…

anyone going stroke for stroke with john holmes is going to have a long day

Every other major American sport had the advantage of being able to treat their labor like absolute shit for a substantial part of their beginnings.

oh boy. england bowling excellently for 45 or so overs then just gifting new zealand easy runs. England then batting terribly but made the chase close at the end. Freak 6. A super over. Infinitely more exciting than expected.

testing rules at lower yet still reasonably high performance levels is how it should be done. Rugby trials laws at a south african university’s intramural games for instance.

as i said and as the player said he guessed wrong. He thought Lucroy would be stepping back from the baseline to retrieve the ball. He stepped into the baseline instead. 

1. I never said he shouldn’t have been called out since he did violate the rule about not having his body hit the ground before he made contact with the catcher. Didn’t think it was worth mentioning that I agreed with the call.
