The Doctor Who Performed Stephen Strasburg's Tommy John Surgery Wasn't Asked About The Nats' Shutdown Plans [UPDATE]
The Nationals shut down Stephen Strasburg for the season on Saturday, and in doing so they, by their own account, deferred to lots of nameless medical experts—"the doctors"—who are definitely not just Scott Boras and his junior partners in lab coats. Nope, no sir....

Steeler And Raven Unite In Hating On Roger Goodell, Owing Him Money
Steelers and Ravens have few things in common other than a strong desire to hit each other very hard, and not have to pay out of pocket to do so.
