So, we haven't heard from good ole Harold Reynolds in a while. What's he been up to?

(Thanks to...
How In The World Do They Make A Movie Of "Moneyball?"
In what seemed more inevitable two years ago than it necessarily does now, screenwriters are hard at work on making a movie out of Moneyball.

Everybody Needs Some Tailgating Backup

Failure To Launch
In these troubled times in which we live, we believe that it's good to feed the soul occasionally with some inspiring words from a true American.

When Male Cheerleaders Attack
We'd like to congratulate THE Ohio State University for their convincing victory over Texas on Saturday night.
