Rhea Butcher's Podcast Is For Baseball's Overlooked Fans<em></em>

Before the 2014 postseason, Rhea Butcher had barely watched baseball in the 21st century.

<i>WWE Raw</i> Segment Goes Off The Rails When Seattle Crowd Won’t Stop Booing SuperSonics Joke

Denigrating the city in which an event is being held is one of the oldest and most reliable ways for a pro wrestler to get heat. It’s probably pretty cheap, honestly, but who cares. It’s easy to rip on a city’s sports teams, but there’s a reason wrestlers still do it: It generally works....
