    If it was all such a grand leftist-elitist conspiracy, would they really have let him go out there in those jeans and sneakers?

    the sports press is among the media's leftiest precincts



    amen! i am so sick of all that pro-Hugo Chavez propaganda on ESPN. And Mike Francesa has really gone too far with his new Tax the Churches segment.

    The sports media isn't liberal. For example, Joe Morgan has been a strong conservative ever since he assassinated Fidel Castro back in 1965.

    Andrew McCarthy should quit the politics and stick to his hilarious turns in the Weekend at Bernie's movies.

    @MarkKelsosMigraine: Did you read Jonathan Silverman's takedown of Ehud Olmert in last week's The Economist? Dude really laid down the Hebrew Hammer.

    Don't listen to Marshall, Mr. President. George W. Bush spent 2 hours a day working on his fastball, and he did great.

    All this talk abut Presidents and sports, yet nobody mentions that Andrew Jackson invented the game Ultimate with a desiccated Indian scalp.

    His lift and thrust — in other words, getting his body going — were very good, considering the fact that he had street clothes on and was wearing a coat.



    Bull. This is lifted verbatim from Dash's review of Peter North's latest.

    As far as I'm concerned, it's all about the Roosevelts, baby. They could both throw it 79, 89, or even 99.

    Will the next post be by Obama on how you all can make your jump shot not look like it's thrown by someone with the arm strength of a nine year old girl?

    From his technique it does not look like he was born in America. Maybe someone should look into that.
