Dan Orlovsky does not do seasoned food, and that’s alright
Dan Orlovsky spent a whole decade as an NFL quarterback. He only threw 15 touchdown passes from 2005-15 with the Lions, Texans, Colts, and Buccaneers, along with 13 interceptions while being sacked 29 times.

Gale Sayers, the brightest of lights
Five seasons. Sixty-eight games. That’s all it took for Gale Sayers to prove to everyone he was one of the greatest running backs in football history (at the time only Jim Brown would have been argued to be in the same stratosphere). Just five, and those five seasons still hold up today to put Sayer...

This is the future baseball wants for you; and eat, drink and be Murray
MLB will have you believe that this was a dramatic night in the last week of its season. And on the surface, it does look like that. Teams got more bunched, there were walk-offs and extra innings and standings swings and such. However, flip up the hood and you’ll see the engine is just a hamster tak...

When Jason Whitlock opens his gaping maw, the abyss stares back at you
Much like Skip Bayless, the person he used to sit next to before that became yet another gig in the litany he’s fucked up and lost, Jason Whitlock’s purpose in media and in life is merely to billow pollution. It doesn’t really matter what it’s about or how marooned it is from logical or defendable, ...

Lightning Do Mighty Fine Impression of Dallas Stars to Tie Series With Dallas Stars
Every Stanley Cup Final, and really any championship series, ends up being some sort of referendum on where that league and sport is.

Gareth Bale and Tottenham Deserve Each Other
It can be startling to remember that Gareth Bale has only been something of a punchline for two seasons.
