Confused Bo Pelini Will Take A Picture With You On Your Wedding Day
It's unclear whether these two lucky kids are Nebraska fans, but it's possible they are. I mean look at Pelini's face, he does not share their enthusiasm. His distant gaze doesn't necessarily say "fuck you, fans. Fuck all of you," but there is a healthy dose of consternation. ...
Hey, ESPN Sorta Asked Bob Bowlsby If He Works Harder Than His Secretary
This is pretty cool. On Thursday, I offered a leather-bound edition of Das Kapital to any reporter who asked Bob Bowlsby just one little question. Bowlsby is the Big 12 commissioner who, in an act of face-melting chutzpah, recently decided to wrap himself in Marx's labor theory of value as intellect...

Freelancing Sucks
You may have heard by now about Sports on Earth, the joint venture between MLB and USA Today that "laid off" a bunch of writers earlier in the week.

The main thing that qualifies me to write about Richard Linklater's Boyhood from a panicked new-ish father's perspective is that I had to wait three weeks to see Boyhood even after all the rapturous reviews came out, on account of having fled New York City in terror a couple years ago so I would...

The Story Behind Those Jerry Jones Photos Is Weirder Than The Photos
