I think it's important to recognize that that doesn't mean [you] have a right to [people being] comfortable with you.

Bortles wanted to know about his punting.

Did not she not catch the Howard Stern reference? She kept plugging away. Why didn't anybody cut off the call after that? And since Kiev, and the U.S. embassy, aren't anywhere close to where the crash took place, the screener should get fired. The networks are so eager to get the big scoop they totally ignore…

The "humor" is exposing cable news networks as being horrible at their jobs (the job of reporting new facts, as opposed to fiction.) the fact that this talking head idiot doesn't even process the answer before continuing with her dumbness is icing on the cake.

The prank itself isn't really funny. What makes it amazing is that this woman seriously carried on with the conversation as if she was just blatantly not listening to what was being said.

True story: I just found out about that auction rule like a week ago. So, is it possible that what you propose actually IS in the rules and all the GM's stupid parents taught them the wrong way to do the draft?

Hate to say it, this is a problem no matter the programming, no matter the market. People get just as angry over Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune... and God forbid you interrupt NASCAR. Trust me, I'm a meteorologist in a top 100 market that used to work in a market smaller than Elmira. It's not that you're interrupting…

Didn't see it mentioned here but figured I'd add that John Henry (Red Sox Owner) is also the principal owner of the Boston Globe. So just to add more to your story about the media acting the way management wants them to....sometimes they have the same management. So Rob Bradford might not work for the globe (that…

Right. And I would also therefore quibble with the idea that he therefore "has, both de jure and de facto, done nothing wrong." There is a pretty huge swath of things a person might do that are wrong without violating the rules of MLB. I personally don't really care that much about PEDs, but I don't think it's so…

Yeah. Nobody really uses this rationale for guys like Bonds, Clemens, and McGwire. Ortiz is the only one you ever really hear it mentioned for.

I would like to think that it is because they finally realized that the purpose of a union is to protect the rank and file, not just make sure they get as much money as possible. Especially when that attitude encourages PED uses and makes them accomplices in the whole issue. The owners want big performances to sell…

If Ortiz was using that year, he was doing so completely legally.

Red Sox homers are the worst

Showalter has since apologized for what he called "an error in judgment", which Ortiz vehemently argued should have been ruled a hit.

In before someone says that he didn't fail a drug test, even though you linked an article explicitly explaining that he did.

In my experience as a Yankees fan, I think Cashman would be the one receiving the magic beans ...

Oh Xavier Nady for our top OF prospect, Jose Tabata, sure!
Esteban Loaiza is available, send him over!
Oh, our top OF AND a top SP prospect, Ian Kennedy for Curtis Granderson, who is 10 years the senior of Austin Jackson,…

It's not the testimony that wasn't heard, it's the clear picture that the "student athletes" are merely voiceless clogs in the NCAA machine.

Broussard can't spell Wade's name right either?? Jimmy Kimmel's $100 challenge WAS tough!

He's a business man. His CUSTOMERS want to keep the name. Hell, even 90% of Native Americans want to keep the name. That's why.

Cue the "THIS IS THE END OF AMERICA, THANKS PC NAZIS" crowd.
