A Tribute To Rolando McClain's Brief, Brilliant NFL Career
23-year-old Ravens linebacker Rolando McClain retired from the NFL today, general manager Ozzie Newsome announced. But McClain will not be known as a Raven. He signed there just a little more than a month ago. He will instead be remembered as one of the Raideriest Raiders that ever Raidered....

Rolando McClain Got Arrested Because He Shouted "Fuck The Police!"
We told you earlier about Ravens linebacker Rolando McClain's latest arrest in his hometown of Decatur, Ala., this time for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

John Harbaugh Made A Shirtless Friend At An Adventure Race

Rolando McClain Got Arrested Again
Upon signing with the Ravens earlier this month—for no guaranteed money—linebacker Rolando McClain called it "a move that can’t go wrong." After being arrested in Decatur, Ala., last night—his third arrest there in 17 months—perhaps the only foolproof contract is one with a clause that doesn't let ...

Watch The Yankees Turn A Crazy Triple Play
A triple play is one of those rare great pleasures in baseball—even when the Yankees turn it!—the kind of happening that makes you turn to your kid (or someone else's kid, if you have forgotten your own kid), and say, son, that's the reason we put up with hours and hours of stepping off the rubber a...
Bird-Flipping Red Sox Fan Is Less Than Impressed By Chris Davis's Homer
The Red Sox are surprising fans and pundits with their quick start in the AL East, though the Orioles cut into that lead thanks in part to a ninth inning Chris Davis homer that sparked a five run rally. Davis's performance so far this season has been impressive—to everyone but Boston fans, at least....

Brendon Ayanbadejo Was Cut Because He's Old And Expensive, Not Because He Supports Gay Marriage
The Ravens released linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo yesterday afternoon, after five seasons in Baltimore. Ayanbadejo spent most of his tenure on special teams, and never once made the kind of news for his play that he did for his vocal support of a Maryland same-sex marriage ballot initiative. So mayb...
