It's Time To Run Down The 2019 Name Of The Year Bracket
Stipulate first that, when it comes to the annual Name of the Year Bracket, there are no winners, no losers, and no wrong answers. Every one of the names in the bracket—the psychedelic syllable pileups, the brazen onomatopoeias, the pokerfaced puns, all of them—is blessed, and a blessing in turn. Th...

Baseball's Hall Of Fame Was Busted Long Before Harold Baines Got In
It was terribly unfair of the “Today’s Game Era Committee” of the Baseball Hall of Fame to put Harold Baines in this position.

Ellen DeGeneres, Drunk With Power, Tries To Set Up Naomi Osaka With Michael B. Jordan
Life came fast at Naomi Osaka. After she skipped the hype machine of the junior circuit, went pro, and won some local fame in Japan, Osaka won her first professional title of any kind at Indian Wells this year, and her second at (sheesh) the U.S. Open. Within days of hoisting that second trophy, she...

By "Stay In Europe," Nemanja Bjelica Meant "Play For The Sacramento Kings"

Nemanja Bjelica Suddenly Decides He Doesn't Want To Play For The Sixers
It was reported a few weeks ago that the Philadelphia 76ers were scooping forward Nemanja Bjelica off the free-agent market for the mid-level exception. This looked like a nice bit of business for the Sixers, as Bjelica is the kind of stretchy power forward that every team likes to have around. In t...
