Tom Ricketts Blames His Dad's Islamophobic Emails On "The News Of The Day"
Cubs co-owner Tom Ricketts spoke to reporters today in an effort to once again distance the team from his father and fellow co-owner Joe Ricketts, whose racist email inbox was made public by Splinter earlier this month.

Let's All Calm Down About Tony Romo

Sensitive Pee Baby Yadier Molina Didn't Like Kris Bryant Calling St. Louis "Boring"
The Chicago Cubs held their annual fan convention over the weekend, and one of the festivities was former Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster hosting a mock late night show with current Cubs players as his guests.

Tom Brady Forgets Question, Drops F-Bomb On Live TV
Postgame interviews with athletes on the field are almost always boring.

Jim Nantz is too fundamentally bland as a human for a conflict of interest to be concerning, but what fresh hell was this?
