Jaguars Fans Brawl Over Free T-Shirt
Not a lot of background on these videos from Thursday night's game in Jacksonville, other than that the two fans—both of whom were arrested—were trying to choke each other out over a free T-shirt that was launched into the crowd. I do not know if either of them ended up getting it. I doubt it....

Reggie Jackson's Third-Person Apology For Harassing A Female Beat Writer
Vice Sports has a very good profile of Lisa Saxon, who in the 1980s became one of the first female sportswriters on an MLB beat.
