Brandon Phillips Is Not Happy That The Reds Let Someone Else Wear No. 4
Brandon Phillips spent a decade wearing No. 4 for the Reds before the team dealt him away this winter in a transaction that was years in the making.

Phil Kessel Yelled A Lot And Scored
Phil Kessel is relatable, which is a nice way of saying that he’s large and goofy. But as with all world-class athletes, we must resist the urge to see too much of our pathetic selves in him.

An Interview With A Man In A Unicorn Mask Who Raced 10 Miles Carrying An Anti-Fox News Sign
Today is Philadelphia’s annual Broad Street Run, the largest 10-mile road race in the country. It’s a straight shot down a relatively downhill street, which means a lot of people run it in costumes.

Jerry Jones Is A Great Guy Until He Fires You
Jerry is really personable. I mean, you’ve got to like Jerry Jones. If you’re around him, you’ve got to like him, unless you hate the Dallas Cowboys, which some people do.
