Giants Have Too Many Questions For Teddy Bridgewater To Be The Answer
No quarterback receives more excuses for his interceptions than Eli Manning–which isn't at all to say those excuses don't have some validity. A few years ago, it did seem that an inordinate number of picks bounced off the hands of his receivers. This season, playing behind an offensive line composed...
So Many Manningfaces: Your Giants-Bears Roundup
Bears 27, Giants 21: A game on short rest was the least helpful thing to the Giants' 0-5 woes. New York actually held it together for the most part, though, and their defense gave the team a chance.

Poor Eli Manning. He's already five weeks into what is by far the worst season of his career, he's been playing with what is essentially a permanent Manning Face, and now he's catching shit from some guy who's running for the mayoralty of Hoboken, N.J. ...
Running Uphill Is The Worst, But You Should Probably Still Do It
I am now mere weeks away from some kind of buffalo/cow/large land-mammal-themed relay race in Kansas City and a few weeks more removed from the Wine and Dine half-marathon in Florida.

Alex Rodriguez's Suit Against MLB Is The Year's Best Baseball Reading
Late last night, Alex Rodriguez filed a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court, accusing MLB and Bud Selig (specifically named as a defendant) of, and I'm quoting, "improperly marshal[ing] evidence that they hope to use to destroy the reputation and career of Alex Rodriguez, one of the most accompl...
Texas High School Tried Not To Run Up The Score, Won 91-15 Anyway
The Connally Cougars bludgeoned the Cedar Creek Eagles 91-15 under last Friday night's lights, pulling up just 12 points shy of a 43-year-old Texas state scoring record. That binge put Connally, a high school north of Austin, in infamous company. The other team to reach 91 points lately was Refugio,...

Bears Believe Former Teammate Gave Lions Their Defensive Calls
Reggie Bush was preternatural, racking up 173 all-purpose yards. Maybe it's a case of a team finally figuring out how to use him. But Chicago's belief that former Bear and current Lion Israel Idonije was feeding Detroit their defensive schemes would certainly explain some of it....

A Town Torn Apart
Night creeps in and they run, cleats on concrete, mop-top hair flowing through black ball caps. They're nervous. They're 14 years old. The hipper boys know the unwritten rule: Run to the front of the bus, strap yourself in and hold on. That is more important than batting averages. That, on a 30-minu...

Michael Irvin Quotes Drake And The Bible While Talking About Patriots
Michael Irvin tried to "inspire" the inexperienced receivers of the New England Patriots by opening his mouth and not really filtering what came out of it. Irvin just said a bunch of words, and it almost sounded like something important. Almost. [NFLN]...
Old People Think Younger Kids Aren't Running Fast Because Of <i>The Wire</i>
Welcome back to Recovering Fatass Soundtrack, where talk about running, music and, this week, how old people are the worst. I went full albums again this week (with some randos sprinkled in to make up the time), which is why I've organized some as "Band, Album." A full album is kind of like an instr...
