Steve Smith's Retirement Letter Is Short And Sweet

Report: Orioles Tell Free Agent Jose Bautista Their Fans Hate Him
This isn’t the greatest free agent pool, but there are still some sluggers on the board. One of those—though not as marquee a name as he was, say, 12 months ago, is outfielder Jose Bautista. And one of the teams looking for an outfielder (and, historically, loves to get power hitters in free agency)...
Ravens Commit Repeated Simultaneous Holding Penalties To Run Out Clock On Game's Final Play
The Baltimore Ravens successfully ran out the game’s final 11 seconds on fourth down by committing holding against all nine Bengals who rushed their punter, giving Sam Koch the time to meander around the end zone before finally conceding a meaningless safety....

Steve Smith Doesn't Give A "Flying Fuck" About Rookies Who Hate Him
Steve Smith has now successfully gotten under the skin of two rookie cornerbacks. He riled up the Jaguars’ Jalen Ramsey so thoroughly during their Week 3 matchup that Ramsey went on an anti-Smith rant after the game. This past Sunday, Smith talked so much shit to the Cowboys’ Anthony Brown that the ...
Joe Flacco Regrets Buying All Those Uncomfortable Massage Chairs
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has a reputation for being dull. That word isn’t pulled out of nowhere; his own father used it to describe him. It’s an apt description of a man who once roused up his team at halftime by saying, “Let’s go win a game!”...
Terrell Suggs Has An All-Time Great Fake Name
Rex “Walt Pulaski” Ryan snuck onto a Bills media call to try and massage some inside info from Julian Edelman earlier this NFL season, and his colleague Terrell “Hacksaw Smithers” Suggs followed suit this afternoon on a call with Dak Prescott. With all due respect to Walt, “Hacksaw Smithers” is in a...
It Doesn't Matter Who The Browns' Quarterback Is
Let’s run it down. The Browns are 0-10 for the first time in franchise history. They’ve dropped 13 in a row, the longest losing streak in franchise history.

The Beer-Throwing Blue Jays Fan Got Away
There’s a pattern here. Four years ago at the Rogers Centre someone nailed an umpire with a beer. Three years ago a fan chucked a full beer can at the Orioles’ Nate McLouth. In last year’s ALDS, the crowd protested a bizarre play by littering the field with trash, a scene lowlighted by a baby being ...
Buck Showalter Fucked Up
I watched Buck Showalter neglect to use his lights-out closer in the ninth and tenth and eleventh innings of a tied, loser-goes-home baseball game, and I watched it work for two of those innings! All I can say is: I’ve seen people at the blackjack table hit on 17 and get 21, too. I’ve never seen any...
Edwin Encarnacion Hit A Walk-Off To Goddamn Mars To Put The Blue Jays Through
The Blue Jays beat the Orioles in the eleventh inning of tonight’s Wild Card game thanks to a huge three-run dinger from Edwin Encarnacion. Encarnacion was the third batter that Ubaldo Jimenez faced after he came into the game with one out in the eleventh. He allowed both baserunners to reach on sin...
Rude Jays Fan Throws A Beer At Hyun Soo Kim, Nearly Brains Him
An extremely rude Blue Jays fan tossed beer at Orioles left fielder Hyun Soo Kim as the Orioles closed out the seventh inning. It nearly hit him, and right after it hit the grass, Kim and Adam Jones immediately turned to the crowd and tried to identify the beer tosser....
Jose Bautista Kicks Off MLB Playoffs With Towering Dong
Hell yeah buddy, the MLB playoffs are back. Jose Bautista hit a tall dinger to score he first run of the postseason in the second inning. Bautista got way under this 3-1 pitch from Chris Tillman, but that didn’t matter, since he hit it to the dang moon....
Root For The Baltimore Orioles In The Playoffs
The Baltimore Orioles gave up their chance at a glorious regular season in fits and starts, but mostly in one four-day span from Sept. 19-22, when they hosted the first-place Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards for a four-game series in which they were swept, losing by scores of 5-2, 5-2, 5-1, and 5-3. W...
