Theo Epstein Is STOKED, Dude!
We admire Theo Epstein as much as anyone — OK, maybe a little less — but secretly we've always kind of suspected that, for all the Yale and sabremetrics and what-not, he's pretty much just a big dumb likable Boston frat guy like pretty much everybody else our age we run into while out in Boston.

Hey, Other People Mock ESPN Too
We occassionally check out the new version of Cracked, the relaunch of the old humor weekly, and they've got a mostly humorous mockup of ESPN.com's homepage....
More "Colbert Report" Than "After M*A*S*H*"

Yard Work Takes No Prisoners
We're not sure what they're putting in the water over there at Yard Work world headquarters today, but they've been murdering us all afternoon. Murdering us with COMEDY!...
Fun With Yard Work!
We are far from the first people to scream the genius of Yard Work, but we still kinda want to be the ones who do it the loudest. Calling the site "satirical" isn't doing it justice; the site is brilliant in mad, somewhat terrifying ways. (We were unable to read this week's story about Rickey Hend...
