Deadspin Fixes The Phillies: A blueprint Dave Dombrowski will never follow
In some ways, anything like this is folly when a team has already hired Dave Dombrowski as President of Baseball.

I can’t wait for Josh McDaniels to coach the Patriots
Most of the season, the focus has been on Bill Belichick and Tom Brady recovering from their breakup in different places.
