They could have at least made 'Hologram Harry' drunk off his ass
Overall, the Field of Dreams game is fine. Perhaps teams should be “flexed” into it during the season, so you don’t end up with two Quad-A rosters in the one regular season game MLB gives the network primetime treatment. Though if you’re trying to showcase baseball in 2022, having two teams that hav...
2022 NFL Draft: There’s always at least one team that throws up all over themselves
The Ravens, Jets, Chiefs, and Giants were a few of the clear winners during Day 1 of the NFL Draft. Whether it was trading up to get high-end cornerbacks or pass rushers, or just making solid decisions with the picks they already had, those teams won the night based on who they added to their roster...
Bo Jackson Curse? The Bengals aren’t cursed, they’re just inept
In my perusal of Wild-Card Weekend storylines to write about, I found the curse of Bo Jackson particularly interesting. If you’ve never heard of Bo Jackson then my god are you young, but if you’ve never heard of the Bo Jackson Curse then, like me, you’re new to this borderline contrived curse....
Step into the batters’ box against this guy… if you dare!
Would you step up to the plate in a Major League game if you knew there was a 10 percent chance you were about to get hit by one of the pitches? Maybe you’d put a foot in the box and stand in the corner and hope the pitcher had enough control this time, but every time that pitcher started his windup...

I’m not sure what MLB was getting at, but it sure looked cool
As with most everything in baseball these days, the Field Of Dreams Game generated a truly annoying debate before it even began with people who are old enough to have seen Zeppelin live. Much like baseball itself, Field of Dreams was a movie most of us loved as a kid and then we get older and see al...

<em>Draft Day</em> Proves That Kevin Costner Should Just Make Sports Movies
Draft Day isn't a great movie, but it's good enough, and that's entirely thanks to the fact that Kevin Costner is in it. Costner is like your dad: You loved the guy at first, and then maybe you rebelled against him—thought you had outgrown him—but now you've come around to the fact that he gets ...

"Goodnight And Good Luck": Kevin-Costner-Owned Minor League Team's Announcer Quits On Air
Last week we brought you the peculiar odyssey of the Lake County Fielders, a minor league baseball club in Zion, Ill., owned in part by Kevin Costner. The Fielders' manager — former Blue Jays skipper Tim Johnson — resigned over team-wide pay disputes, many of its players refused to play, and the o...
Attention Tampa Bay Rays: Kevin Costner is Here To Tepidly Rock You into the World Series
Already troubled by their lack of "worthy" individuals associated with the organization to throw out their first playoff pitch, the Rays obviously faced another quandary when searching for a rallying fight song to commemorate the occasion. Unlike the Cubs, who got Eddie Vedder's "Go All The Way", th...
Cal Ripken Debunks A Great Urban Legend
Everybody has a favorite sports urban legend. Some like the Rafael Palmeiro Sleeps With Ryne Sandberg's Wife one. Others are fans of the Kevin Mitchell Cuts The Heads Of Cats one. Our preference has always been the Orioles Canceled A Game Because Cal Ripken Couldn't Play Because He Found Kevin Costn...

Chandler In Tahoe: The Kevin Costner Photo That Almost Wasn't
Not that this picture is enormously compelling or anything, but since it didn't show up in yesterday's post, I figured I'd try to work out the bugs and give it another shot. Too bad Mr. Costner didn't try the same thing with The Postman....
Chandler In Tahoe: Kevin Costner Always Takes Time For Cheerleaders
