Georgia The Country Is Not Georgia The State
This error was up on the screen during halftime of last night's U.S. national team 1-0 World Cup qualifier win over Jamaica for all of three seconds, yet nearly a dozen of you sent in emails about it.

Joe Girardi And Joel Sherman Had Themselves A Good Old Fashioned Bitchfest Last Night
Last night, the Yankees lost to the Orioles on a botched third out call that made everyone go a little crazy.

Are The Dolphins Really Super Bowl Contenders?
Oh my goodness, no. No, no, no. But it's the first week of the season! Anything is possible. In a few hours football becomes a reality, but for now, we can still dream.
