ESPN did a big expose on it with all kinds of experts (American experts). They were pretty much split on whether the rules were followed. Like I said, it was a weird confluence of circumstances. Weird things happen in sports sometimes. This idea that the refs just kept giving the Soviets “do overs” is ridiculous.…

Got to say I think the men’s basketball team not accepting the silver medals and turning down the shared gold is a very bad look. Roy Jones Jr. was the victim of one of the worst robberies in all of boxing history (not just Olympic boxing) and he handled himself with a lot more composure. It’s been 46 years, you can…

I don’t know how it wouldn’t be deliberately. He wasn’t anywhere near the puck and he swung his stick right on his ankle. It was an assault, plain and simple. Maybe not as bad as what McSorley later did to Brashear, but shameful nonetheless.

Is there any argument that Clarke did NOT injure Kharlamov deliberately? He hacked him with his stick in the back of his leg while Kharlamov was skating in front of him. There’s video available of it on youtube. When I was a kid, I read a biography on Bobby Clarke, and even the biography didn’t try to say that it…

For the record, I don’t hate her at all. My comment was meant to satirize what I felt Deadspin’s angle was. None of his is life in death. There’s no reason to hate anybody for stuff that happens in the normal course of sports, unless it’s something truly horrible that somehow hurts a lot of people.

Should we hate her? I feel like we should, right?

Also, why can’t we legitimately criticize people’s feelings? When did that become a rule? Are we even criticizing their feelings here, or are we criticizing their lack of critical thought? What about those morons that say things like “I honestly feel Barrack Obama is a Muslim Kenyan.” OMG you really FEEL that? Far be…

What am I missing? The celebration didn’t seem that great to me. He pounded the ground and then dove on the mat. What was so great about that? The stuff with his wife was funny though.

Thus ends the great Ball Man experiment

Tl:dr Lindsay Vonn is a fast skier.

Laura Ingraham has been one of the more racist and annoying commentators at Fox News for some time. Remember that horrible “diary/ book” she wrote about Obama where she talked at length about Michele Obama “chowing down on chicken and ribs”?

So, I’ve seen this list going around. It’s a list that makes us mad. But realistically, it isn’t going to shame any of the people on this list. They don’t see any incongruity with taking the money and then sending thoughts and prayers. In fact, the two things are entirely compatible. They took the money, and they did…

Ha I was a Poconos Basketball Alum too, right around the same time.

Remember when the Republicans tried to frame themselves as “the Constitution Party”? Remember that ridiculous charade when members of Congress all read from the Constitution on the floor of the House? Remember how the Democrats participated in that idiotic display, thereby implicitly rebuking their own President (who…

“Some people say ‘You know we can’t believe, Jamaica we have no bobsled, Geez’”.

Holy Cow Herb Magee. I’d go to basketball camp during the summer and this guy, along with Dave Hoppola, would be there. He must have been in his 60's at the time, but he and Dave were truly incredible to watch. The man would not miss. He’d drain half court shots like they were foul shots. He had this shot called the…

Yeah I read that book “the Game” when I was in my early 20's and I realized I didn’t have it in me to try any of those routines or linguistic tricks. I’m glad I was able to realize that all those things are just substitutes for true confidence, acting like a gentleman, and just generally not being a total nervous ball…

I’m perpetually amazed at how easy it is for me with girls. The movies make it seem like it should be so hard. For a long time, I was convinced it was. Then all of a sudden, I realized it wasn’t hard at all. But I never had a good reason why it was easy. I was convinced that I just stumbled on some lucky secret, or…

Good for Tessa. But I have no love for the real life thief. Just like I had no love for Jordan Belfort, that dbag who inspired “The Wolf of Wall Street”. I find no charm in con artists or thieves.

Now I’m going to get into speed skating just to annoy you. Then I’m going to never shut up about it and I’ll make every facebook/ insta/ snapchat post something speedskating related. Then I’ll act like I was into it the whole time and YOU are the johnny come lately. Then I’ll invite a bunch of hipsters to join me at…
