I mean, ha ha, 119-69, get the fuck outta here, who would even be...

Kevin From <i>The League</i> Admits He Made Up Story About Narrowly Escaping 9/11

Steve Rannazzisi, whom you may know from The League, those Buffalo Wild Wing commercials, or—well, just those two things—has an old chestnut he’s always used to explain how he got into comedy: the Long Island-born actor cites 9/11 as the impetus for his move to Los Angeles. Rannazzisi says he was wo...

The Phillies have effectively fired Ruben Amaro Jr. as GM after seven seasons. His early moves were understandable—the team was still good enough that future-mortgaging moves to keep their window open were defensible—but he’s had more than enough time since then to rebuild and restock, and hasn’t su...
