The holiday season is fully upon us. This means that by now you’ll have likely been bombarded with invites to seasonal parties and themed dinners and social get togethers. While it’s always good for the ol’ ego to be included in such things, this time of year brings with it a heavy feeling of social...
These Are Fully Theo Epstein's Cubs Now
It still feels weird talking about the Cubs as a team trying to acquire the last few pieces for a championship run, rather than as one that needs to rebuild from the ground up, but that’s where we are: with the reigning Cy Young winner and some of the best young hitters in the game, Chicago doesn’t ...
All Hail Dirk Nowitzki, Whose Old Ass Is Still Dominating

The narrative arc almost draws itself: Here we have the best European import the NBA has ever seen facing...
Media Firm At Heart Of FIFA Scandal Sued To Protect The Sanctity Of Its Bribes
You know when you hear about some friend who bought some weed off a new drug dealer, only to find out it was probably half oregano, and they’re upset but don’t know what to do, and you tell them “Well, it’s not like you can take a drug dealer to court?” Apparently, the crooked marketing execs and ve...

That Terrible Football Game Was Really Fun
I’ve long had this theory that the best NFL games, or at least the most entertaining ones, take place between two bad teams. Mistakes are good for unpredictability, and poor decision-making provides the opportunity for hilarity. It’s part of the reason why college games have such wild finishes. The ...

Ohhhhhhh, Track & Field Organizations Are Supposed To Serve Track & Field Athletes. Oops!
It has come to track and field athletes’ attention that during all those gutting workouts, dark-thirty in the morning, when the rent was due and cupboards bare, and it seemed like no one had their back—they were right. No one had their back. While they were pounding out repeat 1000s, the organizatio...

Should The Blue Jays Have Tried To Keep David Price?
The Red Sox signed David Price to a massive seven-year, $217 million contract. We soon learned that the Cardinals were in second, more than $30 million behind. And the Blue Jays, who said all the right things about hoping to keep their lefty ace who, acquired at the trade deadline, led the team to a...
