Brian Daboll kept his QB change from Pam Oliver — it’s fair to wonder if this is the Charissa Thompson-Erin Andrews effect
There’s never been a sports journalist who enjoys “coach speak.” That annoyance can become anger if another journalist is the reason “coach speak” is what you get whenever you ask a question. We’ll never know if that’s what happened when New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll didn’t tell Pam Oliver...
Fictional Hooper Bracket: Venice Beach Regional - Round 2
The first round of the Venice Beach Regional went mostly according to the seedings, with an easily predicted upset (12-seed Buggs beating the 5-seed Pound in a Space Jam rematch), and one I didn’t see coming (13-seed Clarence Withers toppling 4-seed Quincy McCall). At the top of the bracket, Billy H...
Kansas fullback converts two-point conversion into $1,000 worth of Applebee’s
Before this season, if you made a catch like the one Jared Casey did last weekend to clinch the Kansas Jayhawks victory at Texas in overtime, you’d probably be a hero on campus for a few weeks. Your family would fawn over you at Thanksgiving, your parents wouldn’t shut up to their neighbors about th...
That's baseball: Saturday night, West Coast, no-no edition
Tyler Gilbert made his major league debut on August 3 against the Giants, mowing ’em down 1-2-3 with a pair of strikeouts in the eighth inning of the Diamondbacks’ 3-1 victory. He then made two other appearances out of the bullpen: an extra-inning loss thanks to a Giants ghost runner scoring on Augu...
New Lions coach Dan Campbell answers age-old question: What if lighting a fart were a person?
You would have thought that after going through a disaster of an era with a phony-tough gasbag (who might also be a rapist) as a coach, the Detroit Lions would try and go the other direction. Maybe hire someone simply smart who is good at his job and might think about moving the team in the general ...

In Anaheim, Bees
A swarm of bees took over the bullpens in Sunday’s match up between the Angels and Rangers. The buzzing action peaked in the fifth when Texas reliever Kyle Bird was preparing to come in at the bottom of the inning, but ultimately had to leave the bullpen to warm up elsewhere because the insect invas...
Minor League Baseball Team Wins On A Three-Run Walk-Off Uncaught Third Strike<em></em>
Minor league baseball is nuts, man. The Burlington Bees had already bled two runs to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in the bottom of the ninth of Friday’s Class-A game, but they still had two outs and two strikes against batter Nic Pierre with the bases loaded. The Timber Rattlers’ left fielder struc...
You Can't Bully These Motherfuckers
When I write that CNN politics writer Chris Cillizza is the rankest assbrain in the Western Hemisphere, I am not being nice to him. When I write that God clowned Chris Cillizza before he was born by making him Chris Cillizza instead of a shit-eating maggot, I am being unkind. When I say that Chris C...

Stop Asking This Shithead Bad Questions Poorly<em></em>

At its most basic, the job of White House reporters is to hold the most powerful people in the United States accountabl...

Everybody Hits The Deck As Bees Swarm Spring Training Game
The above is a snapshot from today’s spring training matchup between the Rockies and the Padres. What, pray tell, is going on here? A terrible game of hide and seek? A few guys choosing a weird time to practice their “stop, drop and roll” skills? Nope. Just a good old-fashioned swarm of bees:...

Cubs Spring Training Game Overrun By Bees
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. I say it will end when our bee overlords choose to end it. That might already be underway at Sloan Park during this afternoon’s Cubs-Mariners game. Jason Heyward was the first victim, and he had to climb the outfield fence to avoid them....
Ned Yost, Friend Of The Bees, Rights Past Wrongs
On March 8, 2015, Royals manager Ned Yost was forced to witness the ruthless destruction of a bee hive during a spring training game against the Angels. One year later, Yost found himself in exactly the same situation, but this time our good man helped save the bees....
