Urban Meyer's Wicked Game
Urban Meyer was unable to lead the Buckeyes to an Orange Bowl win last night, falling 40-35 in an error-prone game that proved to be the first bowl loss for Meyer since the 2007 season.

Dan Snyder Killed Some Trees, And A Park Ranger Paid The Price
Tim Murphy has a great story at Washington Monthly that shows, yet again, that you're justified in holding every idea you have about just what a rotten human being Dan Snyder is. It's a story about trees, egregious abuses of government power, and how easy it is for regular people to have their lives...
Flying Bama Mom Attacked OU Fan In Front Of Her Kids

"I'm An Idiot": Paul Finebaum Eats His Words After Picking Bama
What a difference a day can make. Yesterday, Finebaum was counting on a dejected Bob Stoops taking Parthian shots at the SEC. Today, he's not sure Nick Saban is even the best coach in his own state....
The Earl of Baltimore
Based on the available evidence, it is easy to assume that Earl Weaver perfected managerial sin. After all, the profane potentate of the Orioles has spent the past thirteen seasons kicking dirt on home plate, tearing up rule books under umpires' noses, and generally behaving as if he were renting hi...

You Can Draft A Fantasy Puppy Bowl Team
We are only a month out from the sporting spectacle of the year: Puppy Bowl X. (The "X" is for eXtreme puppies. Also, "ten.") This year's edition will have a number of new wrinkles, but the biggest game-changer is the ability to play fantasy puppy football. Everything else on Feb. 2 has just been re...
Murray Chass Is Everything That's Wrong With The Hall Of Fame Election
Murray Chass, a once-great baseball reporter turned bitter crank, recently revealed his 2013 Hall of Fame ballot in a blog post in which he proudly stated that he did not vote for Craig Biggio or Mike Piazza because he believes that they used steroids.
