Press Democrat columnist Lowell Cohn is one of the very worst sportswriters in the business—he’s the dude who once compared PED users to murderers—so it’s no surprise that he has a problem with Colin Kaepernick. In fact, ol’ Lowell is so steamed about this issue that he felt it necessary to lecture ...
Don't Have Opinions About Other People's Underwear
Are your underwear emitting an odor of feces or stale urine or stagnant crotch-and-ass sweat that I can smell from a normal, respectful distance? Are you wearing some form of outer garment between your underwear and the outside world? Are you someone with whose underwear I may interact directly in t...
Landon Donovan And I Would Like To Announce Our Availability For The USMNT
In some ways, Landon Donovan and I are very different people.

Mario Balotelli Scores Two More Goals, Remains On Fire
Mario Balotelli has always been kind of a headcase. Of late, his nuttiness has unfortunately overshadowed his undeniable abilities.

Jose Bautista Admires Huge Dinger With A Backwards Home Run Trot
The AL wild card-leading Blue Jays got shut down by King Felix Hernandez this afternoon, managing just pair of hits over seven innings. Fear not. Jose Bautista has a flair for situations like these.

Team USA Is Mad About Phil Kessel's Tweet
Team USA flamed out in two games at the World Cup of Hockey, but one American hockey player did win last night: Phil Kessel. The Stanley Cup Champion, who was left off the roster and had hand surgery in July, displayed his pettiness (in a good way) after John Tortorella’s squad lost to Canada, 4-2....
David Ortiz Gets Taunted By Fan, Homers, Taunts Back

Look At How Excited Thomas Davis Is
The Carolina Panthers played with their food (the San Francisco 49ers) for a long time before they finally finished them off this weekend. The defense came up with a touchdown and a pair of picks, but they also allowed Vance McDonald to get loose for a 75-yard touchdown. They’ll be fine, probably, b...

Remember When This Crappy Hitter Became A Bat-Flipping God?
Do you remember Tom Lawless’s three-run homer in Game 4 of the 1987 World Series? If you’re a young-ish idiot like me, there’s a decent chance you have no memory of that game and have never even heard of Tom Lawless. Let’s change that....

Mookie Betts Is So Damn Mean To The Orioles
Mookie Betts—currently hitting .314/.356/.541 with 31 home runs, 24 steals, and 40 doubles—may very well end up being the American League MVP. If he wins the award, he should thank the Baltimore Orioles during his acceptance speech....
It's Probably Time To Write Off The Bears
Maybe because in the Jay Cutler era the Bears have typically ranged from mediocre-bad to mediocre-good, spots on a relatively short continuum that usually requires the bulk of the season to pinpoint, this team gets treated as potentially relevant for far longer than it should.
