Orioles Prospect Needs To Find A New Superstition Now That Hostess Has Closed Up Shop
Orioles pitching prospect Kevin Gausman was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles, signed to a $4.23 million signing bonus and pitched 15 innings of professional baseball this year.

Kevin Garnett Straight Up Ignored Ray Allen When He Came Over To Say Hi

The NBA Will No Longer Tolerate Lengthy Pregame Handshake Routines
Finally, the NBA is doing something to speed up the game. Surely, that means there won't be as many of those interminable television timeouts, right? Hahaha, no.

Back when I was going to school in the early 1990s, watching College GameDay was one of the highlights of my week. It still remains a rare diamond in the ESPN shitpile, left relatively unchanged since the early days of Chris, Lee, and Kirk (adding Desmond Howard to the mix was bullshit). But the sho...
