The Cowboys Didn't Lose Last Night, But It Wasn't For Lack Of Trying

Old Man Jack McKeon Will Retire After Wednesday's Game
Well, this half-season at the helm of the moribund Marlins was not what I had in mind when I was told about an all-expenses-paid vacation in South Florida, the 80-year-old manager thought to himself, shortly before notifying the Marlins brass of his resignation via telegraph. [Twitter]...

Forget Boston, The Braves Are Going To Blow Their Playoff Spot
Folks fret a lot about the national sports media—we suppose this includes Deadspin—overcovering Boston sports. When it comes to John Lackey's personal calamities, we pay attention with good reason.

This Week In Unintentional Dong Submissions
Writes tipster Fighting Polish, this is "a picture of the Get Well card my 11-year-old niece made for my mother. That, of course, is a 'Thermometer-man.' Interesting to note that Thermometer-man has a thermometer in his mouth. Also, he looks exactly like a big, hairy-headed dong."...
