The Gamer According To Tom Boswell
"Baseball has a name for the player who, in the eyes of his peers, is well attuned to the demands of his discipline; he is called 'a gamer.' The gamer does not drool, or pant, before the cry of 'Play ball.' Quite the opposite. He is the player, like George Brett or Pete Rose, who is neither too inte...
God Willing, The Raiders' Nightmare Mascot Will Not Take The Field
Relax. Breathe. The Raider Rusher is not Oakland's new mascot. It will not prowl the sidelines. You can summon it by repeating its name three times into a darkened bathroom mirror, but it will not trouble your dreams by showing up on an NFL broadcast....

The NFC East Is The Worst Division In Football

Exit Light
Today gives Mariano Rivera Appreciation Day at Yankee Stadium. Andy Pettitte makes his final regular season start in the Bronx so it's a sentimental afternoon for an organization that's known to lay it on thick. Still, Rivera is one of my favorite players so I can put up with the schmaltz. I've gone...

Old People Think Younger Kids Aren't Running Fast Because Of <i>The Wire</i>
Welcome back to Recovering Fatass Soundtrack, where talk about running, music and, this week, how old people are the worst.
