Murray Chass Is Everything That's Wrong With The Hall Of Fame Election
Murray Chass, a once-great baseball reporter turned bitter crank, recently revealed his 2013 Hall of Fame ballot in a blog post in which he proudly stated that he did not vote for Craig Biggio or Mike Piazza because he believes that they used steroids. It was the kind of thing that was written speci...

The Lesson Of Black Monday: Your NFL Team Doesn't Know What It's Doing
Yesterday was Black Monday in the NFL. My team's coach got fired. Your team's coach got fired. EVERYONE'S coach got fired. If six Fortune 500 CEOs were all shitcanned on the same day, the markets would crash; there'd be barricades in the streets by noon. But it's a telling sign of football cultu...
T-Wolves Radio Announcer Flips His Shit After Game-Ending No-Call
Last night's Mavericks-Timberwolves game ended on what appears to be an egregious non-call. With just three seconds left on the clock and the T-Wolves down by two points, Kevin Love's potentially game-winning shot was snuffed out by Shawn Marion.

The Redskins' Incompetent PR Guy Is Also A Giant Cry Baby
We've met Tony Wyllie—the Washington Redskins' deeply stupid, duplicitous shitbag of a PR flack—around these parts before. He's the man who once compared Dan Snyder's ridiculous libel suit against Dave McKenna to the plight of Egyptian protestors in Tahrir Square. He's also the guy who threatened to...

No, NESN, That's Not How You Pronounce Maurice "Rocket" Richard's Name
Maurice Richard is one of ice hockey's most legendary and greatest players. The Canadiens winger was so good that upon his retirement in 1960, the Hockey Hall Of Fame waived its usual waiting period and immediately inducted him. You might think, then, that a Boston Bruins hockey broadcast on NESN mi...
