When you hear the phrase "he tore the cover off the ball," you think about a blistering line drive or a towering home run.

Why Do Most College Football Kickers Suck? Chris Kluwe Explains.
So Drew asked me to fill in for him on this week's Funbag, because apparently as an unemployed former punter I'm supposed to have oodles of free time to do his job while he goes off and teaches his kids how to cook meth with his neighbor Chad, or whatever the fuck it is parenting entails in Yonkers....
The Pirates And Reds Hit All The Home Runs
The Bucs and Reds combined for 10 home runs in just six innings, before being suspended due to rain. Here are all 10 of them, hit to dwindling crowds, increasing rain, and—because it was Cincinnati's "Bark in the Park" promotion—presumably a growing stench of wet dog fur....

Jaguars safety Johnathan Cyprien, that is not George W. Bush. If you were cracking a joke, then it's pretty funny. But that's not actually George W. Bush, or his father, George H.W. Bush. It's just some different white guy with beady eyes....
