This Week In The SSW
For years — OK, a couple of days — Slate writer Robert Weintraub has been tinkering with a concept called The SSW, short for "The Sean Salisbury Wisdom," which tracks the consensus of the football punditocracy to ensure those triumphant declarations from Friday aren't flushed down the memory hole on...
Playoff Pants Party: Phillies Vs. Rockies

Not Safe At Home, But, Please, Don't Give Us Instant Replay
