Let's Remember A Cat
It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of Skeeter Duffy, baseball’s most notable fat cat and one of its best. Matt Duffy—presently in the Rays’ organization and previously the Giants’ third baseman—announced the passing of his beloved fatso due to illness this weekend at the age of ...
The Bills Have Been Clueless About Tyrod Taylor

Nathan Peterman Was A Very Avoidable Disaster
The thing about The Nathan Peterman Game is that none of this now is hindsight.

Bills Bench Tyrod Taylor For ... Nathan Peterman?
The Buffalo Bills are 5-4 and right in the middle of the playoff race. Starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor has completed 64 percent of his passes and 10 touchdowns to go along with three interceptions. He’s also run for 237 yards and two scores. That record and those numbers shouldn’t blow you away, b...
Joel Embiid Packed A Season's Worth Of Shit-Talking Into One Game
The Philadelphia 76ers, who are maybe good, beat the Clippers, who are maybe bad, in Los Angeles last night, thanks to a big night from their big center Joel Embiid. The 7-foot-2 Cameroonian has been on a short minutes leash throughout his career, though his 32-point, 16-rebound performance against ...

John Fox Challenge Turns Bears First-And-Goal Into Turnover
Another frustrating NFL rule is starting to assert itself. After the Jets got screwed out of a touchdown last month, the “fumble at the pylon” ruling reared its head again on a run from the Bears’ Benny Cunningham....
Mike Hoffman Skips The Puck Past Jonathan Bernier For A Truly Freakish Goal
I think I’ll be giving Ottawa’s Mike Hoffman way too much credit if I imply in any way that he knew what he was doing here. But even if his goal yesterday against the Colorado Avalanche in Stockholm, Sweden was a complete accident, it’s still something I’ve never seen before....

We'll Never Know The Full Extent Of Jeff Fisher's Crimes Against Football
The Rams are 6-2 and in first place in their division. Todd Gurley, who looked possessed by the spirit of Trent Richardson last season, is a fringe MVP candidate this year.
