The Lakers Narrowly Avoided Total Catastrophe At The Lottery
The Los Angeles Lakers will get the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, which is a fine return for a shit-filled season of tanking that very nearly went up in flames thanks to an inexplicable five-game winning streak at the end of the year. Not only is the team in the driver’s seat to pick Lo...
Andrew Luck's Shoulder Injury Seems Like It Was Poorly Managed
Andrew Luck had surgery on his throwing shoulder in January, and in a conversation with reporters today, he revealed that the injury was from before the 2016 season:...
Does This Look Like The Reincarnation Of Lou Gehrig To You?<em></em>
You’ve spoken to a toddler, or at least know enough about children to imagine what speaking to a toddler might be like. You understand that a 2-year-old child, because his brain is still developing and he is just starting to experiment with language, is liable to say some dumb things. A toddler migh...
What Are Your Weird Superstitions?
Superstitions seem pretty stupid if you don’t believe them. The 13th day of the month falls on a Friday at least once a year and statistically, it isn’t any more dangerous than any other day. But when one of them worms their way into your psyche, you have to abide by it—just in case, even if only ou...
You Have To Be Lucky To Be Rich
In 2007, Cornell economist Robert Frank wrote about President Barack Obama’s plan to let the Bush-era tax cuts for the country’s top earners lapse for the New York Times. He wrote that critics who complained that they had uniquely earned the money that would be taken away by stricter taxes were wron...
Andrew Luck Has A Lacerated Kidney

That Feeling When You Think You Fucked Up But It All Works Out Anyway
I like to think that Philipp Schobesberger of Rapid Vienna helped an old lady carry her groceries up a couple flights of stairs last week and thus was karmically rewarded with this goal right here....
It Just Keeps Getting Worse For The Colts
It’s possible that an optimistic Colts fan could have found some hope in yesterday’s 27-21 loss to the Saints, which featured the Colts nearly coming back from a 27-point deficit before running out of time. But that would require one to ignore the first half, as well as the “heated conversation” tha...
The Colts Are An Absolute Mess At Quarterback
The Colts have got to be cursing the NFL schedule makers for sticking them with the Thursday night game this week, because if there was ever a team that needed a few more days to rest up, it’s this one....
Report: Andrew Luck Has A Partially Separated Shoulder

What's Wrong With Andrew Luck?
The Colts have tried to downplay whatever’s wrong with Andrew Luck’s health. On Sunday, coach Chuck Pagano said he was OK. On Monday, Luck declared himself “fine.” On Wednesday, Pagano casually read off his injury list—mentioning Luck eighth. For the last two days, Luck has been officially “limited”...
The Colts Are A Mess Behind The Scenes, Too
The Colts are bad. They’ve faced a pair of excellent defenses in the Bills and Jets, but that doesn’t negate the fact that Indianapolis’s O-line is a sieve, the defense is a grab bag, and all-world QB Andrew Luck has been given aging, retread weapons. Luck, too, looked sub-replacement-level in last ...
The Beer Idiot: Lucky Buddha
Lucky Buddha Beer is beer. Because of the fact that I have had many other beverages definitively known to science as beer (not bragging ... much), merely tasting the Lucky Drink Co. product was proof positive: This is beer. Beyond that meek pronouncement, however, the bona fides of this stuff are ...
The Colts Are Going For It
Indianapolis agreed to terms with Andre Johnson yesterday, adding the WR to a sizable and significant free-agency haul that figures to upgrade the Colts at multiple positions on both sides of the ball. Every year or two, one team decides that its window is as open as it's ever going to be, and makes...
Andrew Luck Is An Affable Weirdo
The Wall Street Journal's Kevin Clark has a delightful examination of the unexpectedly pleasant trash talk of that nice young quarterback in Indianapolis. If you sack Andrew Luck, he's gonna compliment you on it....
No, Andrew Luck Is Not On Pace For The Best Season In NFL History
There's been a lot written lately about Andrew Luck being on pace to break the single-season passing-yards record. While Luck is having a solid year, to what degree can we attribute these gaudy statistics to his dominance? And how much do his numbers merely reflect the era in which he's playing? ...
