Dan Shaughnessy Has Been Writing The Same Soccer Column For 25 Years

Legendary old school troll Dan Shaughnessy has a real strong take in today's Boston Globe about how soccer sucks.

The Real Ultraviolence: In Praise Of <em>Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricky</em>

If you're old, you might remember a time before Jon Stewart hosted The Daily Show, and instead Sportscenter's own Craig Kilborn sat in his chair.

Yoenis Cespedes Gets Howie Kendrick Out At Home With A Flawless Throw

The only reason Howie Kendrick turned third and ran home was because Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes let Mike Trout's hit initially get away from him in the eighth inning.

Rick Reilly Didn't Always Suck

Rick Reilly published the last column of his career on ESPN.com today. It's not very good, as is the case with most of the stuff he's written since becoming a self-plagiarizing boob. But instead of dwelling on the present, let's send Reilly off by remembering the stuff he used to write before he sta...

BBQ Chicken Pizza Smackdown: Pizza Hut Vs. Domino's

Several years ago, I came across a ranking of careers based on overall desirability. "President of the United States" was somewhere in the lower-middle of the pack, because it offers the most power and prestige, but also has the highest workplace fatality rate, terrible job security, brutal hours, a...
