Old is new, sports is life, and dumb is dumb
Fifty years ago this week, the Oakland A’s were running away with their first American League West title.

Carson Wentz is back way ahead of schedule
Everyone in the Indianapolis Colts organization should be jumping for joy today with the return of quarterback Carson Wentz to the practice field.

The Giants just won’t die
For everyone who isn’t a child of Will Clark or Jason Schmidt, watching the Giants hold off the Dodgers in the NL West has been something like watching one of those nature videos of a lion stalking a wounded antelope. It’s not a question of if or when. It’s going to happen....

Solution for Roger Goodell and the NFL: Blackball anti-vaxxers like you did Colin Kaepernick
Colin Kaepernick was — and is still — blackballed from the NFL because he wanted police to stop shooting Black people. Anti-vaxxers in the NFL are whining because they don’t want to get a shot that could potentially save their lives. These are two problems that Roger Goodell and the NFL want no part...
Didja hear the one about the former MVP with the negative WAR?
The Astros returned to a filled Dodger Stadium last night, and it was just about the circus you would have imagined.
