There Is One Very Good Reason To Watch The Dolphins And Jets On Saturday Night
The Dolphins and Jets play tomorrow night in the first Saturday game of this season. If you didn’t already know that, I regret having to be the one to inform you. Last week, the Jets needed a furious comeback to beat the 49ers. Their season is over and their coach may be fired. The Dolphins are curr...
Aroldis Chapman Doesn't Understand What Joe Maddon Was Doing, Either
The greatest benefit enjoyed by a World Series-winning manager, aside from the obvious one, is that all of those in-game decisions that read as questionable or just plain boneheaded in the moment are erased by the post-championship glow. Despite the Cubs’ World Series win, at least one person hasn’t...

Sage Northcutt Is Running Wild In Sacramento<em></em>
It’s a dull, dreary day here in Northern California, as long-awaited rainstorms are replenishing the state’s meager water supplies and keeping citizens indoors sulking.

Hall Of Fame Voter Who Wants To Fight Curt Schilling Gives Up Hall Of Fame Vote
God, it’s “Get worked up about shitty Hall of Fame takes” season again. Every year I go in feeling optimistic—Oh, maybe my guy will get in this year!—and by mid-December I’d rather pull out my fingernails one by one than look at yet another goddamn ballot with two bewildering selections on it. ...

T.J. Smith, King Of The Sports Babies, Is Back
T.J. Smith, son of 49ers receiver Torrey Smith, knows how to hit the field in search of victory and success, and as it turns out, he’s also an elite dancer. Young T.J. has grown a lot since we first saw him last summer and in the meantime he’s only improved....

Shea McClellin Pulled Off A Perfect Leap Over The Ravens' Offensive Line
Malcolm Butler made a perfect deflection on third down to put the Ravens’ best player (kicker Justin Tucker) on the field for a 34-yard field goal attempt.
