All The Other GMs Hate The Washington Nationals

Even though major-league general managers are grown men with facial hair, ugly shirts, and mistresses, we've always imagined them secretly behaving like a handful of high-school cliques. Anytime one commits a faux-pas—Chuck LaMar, late of the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays, used to be the master of the outr...

TBS's Slogan Is "Very Funny," Which Is Fitting Because Its Baseball Analysis Is A Joke

The MLB playoff coverage on TBS has suffered the arrows of critics for years, and it hasn't really shown any signs of improvement. How the same company that can produce the brilliant Inside the NBA drops the ball so terribly with MLB coverage is a mystery, but there's no questioning the wide range ...

The Oakland A's Force Game 5 With An Epic, 9th-Inning Comeback Win Over Detroit

Coco Crisp's game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth capped off an incredible comeback Wednesday night, which doubled as a gut-wrenching collapse from Tigers closer Jose Valverde, who had nothing working in a game that could've sent the Tigers to the League Championship Series for a second-st...

Raul Ibanez's Moonshot Home Run In The 12th Inning Wins Game 3 Of The ALDS

When Raul Ibanez was brought in to pinch-hit for Alex Rodriguez in the ninth inning, it seemed humorous—until Ibanez hit the first 9th-inning, game-tying, pinch-hit home run in Yankees postseason history. But when he hit another home run, this time to win the ballgame in the bottom of the 12th, it w...

Witness The Chaos That Tony Romo Wrought After Possibly Hanging Up On Some Reporters [UPDATE: WE HAVE HOT AUDIO]

The 2-2 Cowboys are playing the Ravens Sunday, and today Tony Romo had a standard conference call with Baltimore reporters. After some questions about Romo's consistency and such, his phone was somehow disconnected. Did Romo intentionally hang up on the media? Jeff Zrebiec and Aaron Wilson of the B...

Unable to find an NBA team to sign with for the upcoming season, Tracy McGrady is going overseas to play basketball.

The Child Porn Case Against Minnesota State Head Football Coach Todd Hoffner Is Falling Apart

In August, when the details of the child porn allegations against Minnesota State head football coach Todd Hoffner first emerged, they seemed particularly disturbing: Hoffner, 46, allegedly had videos on his school-issued phone of his own three children, all under the age of 10, dancing naked and to...

What The Best Pitcher In Baseball Taught Me About Prep School, Socrates, And The Art Of Not Selling Out

At my old high school, Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, there is a large multi-purpose hall with high ceilings. The hall features large hanging glass panels that extend nearly from the ceiling to the floor, engraved with famous quotations and the image of the speaker. I remember two of the pane...

James Harrison Didn't Sack Michael Vick Because He Was "Worried More About A Fine"

Since the NFL instituted its "more significant discipline" for shots to the head two years ago, James Harrison has been a remorseless re-offender. He's been fined six times under the new protocol, and he's seemingly bitched about it just as often. Hell, even after his destruction of Colt McCoy la...

Ichiro's Run Last Night Was Everything You Love About Ichiro And Everything You Hate About The Yankees

This is one of the things about the Yankees, one of the reasons the New York Yankees are a sickness on the soul of baseball, this play from Ichiro Suzuki last night. Ichiro! Honestly, if you root against the Yankees—which is to say, if you are not a native of the Bronx or a depraved human being—thi...

Bloomberg News was first with the report out of Bellefonte, Pa. It ought to be enough to keep the 68-year-old former Penn State defensive coordinator, who was convicted back in June of 45 counts of child molestation, in prison for the rest of his life. His attorneys had previously vowed an appeal. S...

"Coeds Appreciated": Jerry Sandusky's Other Lawyer Bought Drinks For Penn State Students Last Night

When we approached Karl Rominger to do a live chat with our readers a few months back, we did so because Rominger—the defense attorney repping Jerry Sandusky who isn't Lawyerin' Joe—struck us as the kind of guy who might be fun to have a beer with. Sure enough, Rominger didn't disappoint. And last n...

Bob Brenly Doesn't Understand How The Earth's Rotation Works

If there is one thing baseball announcers love talking about, it's shadows. "Boy I tell ya, these shadows are going to play havoc on the hitters this afternoon!" Given how much the shadows get talked about, you'd think most announcers would have a solid understanding of how the earth's rotation wo...
