Gerrit Cole gives away the game
Were you in the mood for an extremely uncomfortable two minutes of media interaction to kick off your day? I bet you were. Who wouldn’t be? This will probably look like any meeting you’ve had with upper management. Step up, Gerrit Cole, and give the people what they want!...
Oh look, here’s a DUMB take from Tom Brady no one asked for
Tom Brady kindly would like you to get off his lawn and stop fucking with traditions that are super-duper important, like jersey numbers. The NFL has passed a rule to relax their jersey number options, allowing running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends to wear any number from 1-49 and 80-89. Def...
Chicago doesn’t need your tired whataboutism, Kaycee Sogard
I don’t know Kaycee Sogard, the wife of Chicago Cubs infielder Eric Sogard. What little I do know about her, I garnered her epic, self-imposed Twitter meltdown last night, which happened, conveniently, just as the Cubs were losing to the Pirates 6-3....
