This Oral History Of The Doug Mirabelli Trade Is Delightful
Let’s go back to 2006, a simpler time when Trot Nixon and Matt Clement roamed the earth. That winter, the Red Sox had traded away Doug Mirabelli, not known for his offensive prowess so much as he was for being Tim Wakefield’s personal catcher. Not just everyone can successfully catch a knuckleball, ...
NCAA Escapes Upsetting Crucial Auntie Fan Base By Keeping Luther Vandross-Sung Theme Song
In an embarrassing lack of judgement, Turner Broadcasting announced it’d be replacing Luther Vandross’ iconic version of “One Shining Moment” as their NCAA theme song last week. But once the all important Auntie and smooth R&B contingent weighed in, TBS realized their grave mistake....

Doug McDermott Is Probably Still Looking For Reggie Jackson
The Bulls and the Pistons played a Kevin Costner movie of a basketball game last night in Chicago. Detroit finally beat the Bulls in 4OT, 147-144, and Jimmy Butler even had a clear shot to take it to five, but he clanked it. Reggie Jackson had 13 in the final overtime, but he also sent Doug McDermot...

The 49ers' Front Office Is Still A Huge Mess
It’s hard to imagine a football team having a worse season, top-to-bottom, than the 2015 San Francisco 49ers. Things stayed messy last night, with various reports stating that team president Paraag Marathe is being shuffled off to a lesser role within the organization, a move that will apparently ta...
Bill Belichick Is Extra Grumpy This Morning
The Patriots are notoriously cagey when it comes to talking publicly about player injuries, which is why it was kind of weird to see the team release an official statement about Rob Gronkowski’s knee injury. At this morning’s press conference, head coach Bill Belichick was asked why the team decided...
Brian Kelly Explains Why He Shoved One Of His Assistants

Doug Marrone was the Buffalo Bills head coach for two seasons, including last year’s successful 9-7 campaign.

John Seabrook's Pop-Music Treatise <i>The Song Machine </i>Is Half Wrong, Half Boring
Don’t bore us, get to the chorus: John Seabrook’s The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory (Norton) is one of the most frustrating music books in memory. You will learn a lot from this book; unfortunately, a lot of what you’ll learn is inaccurate. And all too often, what’s not inaccurate is vitiated...
Former FIFA Vice President Throws All Kinds Of Shit At Sepp Blatter
You know you’re in for some good dirt when Chung Mung-joon, a former FIFA vice-prez in the running for the next presidency, hits you with bars like “To call [FIFA] a mafia is almost insulting to mafia, so blatant and arrogant is its corruption.”...
Did Chip Kelly Outsmart Himself?
The Eagles are 0-2, and although it’s certainly unfair to write off a team after two games, you wouldn’t blame Eagles fans for looking at Chip Kelly with eyebrows raised as high as they’ll go. Is this—a completely dysfunctional squad that can’t be bothered to beat a Cowboys team down Tony Romo and D...

Scoundrel Mountain: The Sordid, Untold History Of The Pitching Mound
