Where Does Sam Bradford Go From Here?
Trade demands are all about leverage. Does the threat of a holdout or a season-long sulk session carry enough weight to force the Eagles to move Sam Bradford, even after they’ve paid him a significant signing bonus? Does it justify Philly perhaps accepting a smaller return, now that Bradford’s gone ...
Does An Intentional Walk Ruin A No-Hitter?
Okay, so before I get into the Funbag, some quick appearance news. I’m gonna be at this big Towson sports career speaker series on draft night. It’s at the Greene Turtle (CLASSY), and open to the public. Also, next month, I’m gonna read the first couple of chapters from The Hike over at the Howard C...
Donald Trump: "Leave Tom Brady Alone"
Your never-too-frequent reminder that Tom Brady considers Republican front-runner Donald Trump “a good friend of mine”...that Brady proudly displayed a Trump hat in his locker and said “that would be great” if Trump wins the presidency...that Brady does not like answering questions about his support...
The Eagles Might've Really Bungled This Sam Bradford Thing
Exciting times under center in Philadelphia! Sam Bradford, the starting quarterback for exactly as long as it takes the Eagles to decide that their No. 2 overall draft pick is ready to step in, is perhaps not entirely satisfied being a stopgap. One report says he wants out....
Tom Brady's New Contract Will Save Him Almost $2 Million On His Suspension
Barring a long-shot appeal to the Supreme Court, Tom Brady will serve a four-game suspension for his role in the Patriots’ ball-deflation scandal. And while it might be a surprise, it shouldn’t have been unfathomable. For one, the appeals court judges seemed pretty amenable to the NFL’s arguments. F...
Federal Appeals Court Reinstates Tom Brady's Four-Game Suspension
A federal appeals court reversed Judge Richard Berman’s decision today and reinstated the NFL’s four-game suspension for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for his part in the team’s football-deflating scandal....
Rookie Kenta Maeda, Japan's Curse Upon MLB Hitters, Is The Damn Truth
The Dodgers rolled into Denver and beat the Rockies on Saturday 4-1, which itself is fairly humdrum. More impressive was how L.A.’s winning rookie pitcher, Kenta Maeda, a 28-year-old right-hander who spent seven outstanding years as a pro in Japan, took a no-hitter into the sixth. He then gave up th...

Gerardo Parra Nabs Jay Bruce With A Laserbeam From The Wall
Gerardo Parra’s reputation as a defensive wizard might be a bit out ahead of his actual production since his historic 2013 season, but man, the Rockies outfielder’s still got plenty of highlights in him. Look at this throw, which wasn’t even perfectly on line but still got Bruce out at third fair an...

ESPN Radio Features Remarkably Awkward News Update About Marbles
While we all loved that video of the marble race (go ahead and treat yourself to another viewing while you’re here), I’m not sure it deserved a shoutout in an ABC news update during the Mike & Mike radio show this morning. Still, that’s exactly what happened. The strange segment got even stranger wh...
Noble Strongman Trevor Story Undone By His Own Dumb Stadium
The Colorado Rockies will try anything to not suck. They paid Mike Hampton something like a billion dollars, stuck their baseballs in a dang humidor, and even appealed to Jesus Christ. This year, they decided to try something new, and made the right-field fence about twice as high as it used to be. ...

Trevor Story Is Young And Strong And Keeps Hitting Dingers
The Rockies don’t have Troy Tulowitzki anymore.

He went deep twice in his first game, making him the only player in history to mash four tate...
